Exhibit No. (10)t. Form of Award Agreements under 2021 Equity Participation Plan for Annual Time-Vested Restricted Stock Units

This Award, granted effective on __________ (the “Grant Date”), by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), to ________________ (the “Participant”) is subject to the terms and conditions of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation 2021 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) and the Award Agreement, including any terms and conditions contained in Appendix A and/or Appendix B to the Award Agreement.

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 and its Affiliates' 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 ________ Annual 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, and any such attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or disposal shall be void. Except as provided in this Section 2, 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 On-line site, or any successor system, via the Grant Summary screen as the Future Vesting table.

The Restricted Period shall begin on the date of the granting of this Award. Thirty percent (30%) of the RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; thirty percent (30%) of the RSUs will vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; and forty percent (40%) of the RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. During the Restricted Period, holders of Awards shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock that may be earned pursuant to the RSUs, 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 Award Agreement, nor any right 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. For purposes of this Award, the Participant's employment will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Corporation or one of its Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Corporation, the Participant’s right to receive RSUs and vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer employed for purposes of the Award (including whether the Participant may still be considered employed while on a leave of absence).

The 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) if more than six months from 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 a 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 sub-section, 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 for the 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 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).

For purposes of this Award, a termination of employment includes a termination that is deemed an “unfair dismissal” or a “constructive dismissal.” Further, the Participant understands that the Award is a conditional right. Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award upon termination of employment except as provided above, for example, regardless of whether (1) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Participant terminates his or her employment or service relationship due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; or (4) the Participant terminates his or her employment or service relationship due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Corporation or an Affiliate. Consequently, upon termination of the Participant’s employment or service relationship for any of the above reasons, the Participant may automatically lose any rights to the RSUs that were not vested on the date of termination of the Participant’s employment or service relationship, as described in the Plan and the Award Agreement.

(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 full vesting, as determined by the Committee, and shall be paid, within 70 days following the Participant’s termination of employment or within such later period as permitted by Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder, as amended from time to time (the “Code”), subject to Section 20(l) of the Plan, if applicable. In the event that the Participant’s termination of employment is due to Retirement, then provided that, in the sole discretion of the Corporation, (i) no circumstances exist that could lead to a determination that the Participant should be, or could have been, terminated for Cause; and (ii) the Participant has not engaged in conduct that would trigger the right of forfeiture or recoupment under Section 21 of this Award Agreement), it shall result in 100% vesting of any RSUs that are outstanding and unvested under this Award grant and such Award shall be paid 70 days following the Participant’s termination of employment or within such later period as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, subject to Section 20(l) of the Plan, if 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, as determined by the Committee, and the number of shares that are considered to vest shall be calculated as (1) the total number of RSUs granted under the Award minus the number of RSUs already vested under the Award multiplied by (2) the number of full months of employment during the Restricted Period divided by 36. Any fractional share of the Corporation resulting from such a prorated award shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and shall be paid, along with any other shares earned under such prorated award, within 70 days following the end of the Participant’s termination of employment or within such later period as permitted by Section 409A of the Code. For the purposes of this Award, a shutdown or divestiture of the Corporation’s or its Affiliate’s business unit is defined as one for which the charges related to the shutdown or divestiture are accounted for, and reported externally, as an exit activity in the Corporation's applicable SEC filings. The Corporation has complete discretion to determine whether a shutdown or divestiture of a business unit has occurred under the terms of the Plan.

(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, subject to Section 20(l) of the Plan, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Award may constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, 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.

(f)    Payment of Awards. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the payment of the Award shall be made in shares of Common Stock and the payment of an Award shall be made within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.

(g)    Payment of Tax-Related Items. 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 or an Affiliate, as applicable, such amount as the Corporation advises is required under applicable federal, state or local laws to withhold and pay over to governmental taxing authorities in relation to this Award. The Corporation may, in its discretion, withhold payment of required Tax-Related items (as defined in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section) with cash or shares of Common Stock which otherwise would be delivered following the date of vesting of the Award under this Section 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 or (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution.

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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

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.    Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 19(h) below, 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.

The Corporation, its Affiliates, and the Participant hereby consent to service of process in any such proceeding, and agree that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested is reasonably calculated to give actual notice.

19.    Restrictive Covenants For U.S. Participants.

(a)Application. The provisions of this Section 19 apply to Participants who are employed by the Corporation or an Affiliate located in the United States and are subject to the laws of the United States as of the date of termination of the Participant's employment; provided, however, that to the extent the Participant is party to an employment or other agreement with the Corporation or any Affiliate containing non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, business ideas or similar restrictions (a “standalone restrictive covenant agreement”), whether or not such standalone restrictive covenant agreement has been agreed to before or after execution of this Award Agreement, that standalone restrictive covenant agreement and related enforcement provisions shall apply and the following provisions of this Section 19 shall also apply, unless otherwise determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 19(l) below shall apply in any case.

(b)Non-Competition. Subject to Section 19(h), during the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate, it is acknowledged that the Participant will acquire Confidential Information , and should the Participant’s employment cease, it may be difficult to police Section 19(e) below, prohibiting the disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is further acknowledged that it may be difficult to police the non-solicitation and dealing sub-sections set out below. For these reasons, during the term of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and for the applicable period listed in Appendix B of this Award Agreement following the termination of employment,

regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, without the written consent of the General Counsel of the Corporation or their designee, in any country or countries for which the Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain, manufacturing oversight, or other responsibilities during the last two (2) years of the Participant’s employment or was provided with regular and material access to Confidential Information regarding the Corporation’s or an Affiliate's business operations in that country or countries during the last two (2) years of the Participant’s employment, either directly or indirectly, perform duties or undertake responsibilities (including without limitation as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, contractor, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or any other similar capacity) for a Competitor (as defined below) that are the same or substantially similar to those duties or responsibilities that the Participant performed or undertook for the Corporation or an Affiliate during the two (2) year period prior to the end of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate. “Confidential Information,” for purposes of this Section 19, shall mean (i) statutory trade secrets; (ii) proprietary information developed or acquired by the Corporation that does not rise to the level of a statutorily protectable trade secret and is made the property of the Corporation through this mutual Agreement of the parties; and (iii) information that is otherwise legally protectable. Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information in whatever form (including, without limitation, in written, oral, visual or electronic form or on any magnetic or optical disk or memory storage medium, as well as other physical items wherever located, and abstracts or summaries of the foregoing) relating to the business, suppliers, customers, products, affairs and finances of the Corporation or any Affiliate for the time being confidential to the Corporation or any Affiliate, ideas, conceptions, compilations of data, and developments created by the Corporation, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable, and trade secrets including, without limitation, technical data and know-how relating to the business of the Corporation or any Affiliate, or any of their suppliers, customers, agents, distributors, shareholders or management, including (but not limited to) business plans, pricing strategies, financial information, patent rights, patent applications, information concerning tenders and potential contracts, information concerning proposed product ranges, product development information, employee and salary information, research and development activities or manufacturing methods that the Participant creates, develops, receives, obtains or has knowledge of in connection with the Participant’s employment, and all other matters which relate to the business of the Corporation or any Affiliate and in respect of which information is not readily available in the ordinary course of such business to the Corporation's Competitors, whether or not such information (if in anything other than oral form) is marked confidential. “Competitor,” for purposes of this Section 19, means a person or entity who engages in a business that is the same or substantially the same as any aspect of the Business of the Corporation. “Business of the Corporation,” for purposes of this Section 19, is the development, production, sales and/or marketing of (i) health and hygiene products and related apparel; (ii) washroom and workplace protective and safety products; (iii) any product for which the Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain, manufacturing oversight, or other responsibilities or was provided with regular and material access to Confidential Information; and (iv) the materials, packaging and other components/subcomponents of such products including, without limitation, non-wood plants and products derived therefrom including any fibers, pulps or extracts.

(c)Non-Solicitation of Employees. Subject to Section 19(h), for a period of two (2) years following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, with respect to any person who was an employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate at the Participant’s termination date, and with whom the Participant had material dealings during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, (i) directly or indirectly induce such person to leave the employment of the Corporation or of any Affiliate, or (ii) be otherwise involved in the recruitment of such person, to leave the employment of the Corporation or of any Affiliate. Furthermore, the Participant shall not for a period of two (2) years following the termination date, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, with respect to any person who was an employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate at the Participant’s termination date and with whom the Participant had material dealings during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, (i) directly or

indirectly induce such person to leave the employment of the Corporation or of any Affiliate to become employed by, associated with and/or form part of any business or concern, in any capacity whatsoever, of any Competitor or (ii) be otherwise involved in the recruitment of such person to become employed by, associated with and/or form part of any business or concern, in any capacity whatsoever, of any Competitor. The Participant must inform the Corporation immediately on becoming aware of any such recruitment.

(d)Non-Solicitation of Business. Subject to Section 19(h), during the term of the Participant’s employment and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, either directly or indirectly, on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm or company or other entity, solicit, interfere with, entice or endeavor to entice away from the Corporation or any Affiliate any Restricted Customer (as defined below), or seek to conduct Restricted Business (as defined below), or conduct Restricted Business, with any Restricted Customer and/or otherwise persuade, induce, solicit or encourage any person or entity to terminate its contractual relationship with the Corporation or any Affiliate. “Restricted Business,” for purposes of this Section 19, means any business activity carried out by the Participant either directly or indirectly for the Corporation or any Affiliate during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date. “Restricted Customer,” for purposes of this Section 19, means any person, firm or company or other entity who was a customer or distributor of the Corporation or any Affiliate as at the Participant’s termination date, or during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, including any Prospective Customer. “Prospective Customer,” for purposes of this Section 19, means any person, firm or company or other entity with whom the Corporation or any Affiliate was involved in negotiations as at the Participant’s termination date or during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, with a view to dealing with it as a customer and/or to conclude a contractual relationship with such entity, and/or with whom the Participant had contact at the Participant’s termination date or during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date with a view to dealing with it as a customer of the Corporation or any Affiliate and/or to conclude a contractual relationship with such entity.

(e)Confidentiality. Subject to Sections 19(f) and 19(h), the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation and its Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information, that the Participant may develop Confidential Information for the Corporation or its Affiliates and that the Participant may learn of Confidential Information during the course of the employment relationship. The Corporation has expended and will continue to expend substantial effort and monies in acquiring knowledge and expertise in developing goodwill in the Business of the Corporation. Participant therefore agrees as follows:

i.The Participant will comply with the policies and procedures of the Corporation for protecting Confidential Information and shall not disclose to any person or use, other than as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of the Participant's duties and responsibilities to the Corporation and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information.

ii.The Participant understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 19(e) shall continue to apply after the employment relationship terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Participant's obligations under this Award Agreement with regard to any particular Confidential Information shall commence immediately upon the Participant first having access to such Confidential Information and shall continue during and after employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate until such time as such Confidential Information has become public knowledge other than as a result of the Participant's breach of this Award Agreement or breach by those acting in concert with the Participant or on the Participant's behalf, and shall be indefinite where permitted by state and local law, and shall not continue longer than two (2) years where indefinite confidentiality provisions are not permitted. Notwithstanding, the Participant's confidentiality obligations under this Award Agreement with regard to any

trade secrets shall continue during and after the Participant 's employment by the Corporation or an Affiliate until such trade secrets are no longer trade secrets under applicable law.

(f)Protected Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement, nothing in this Award Agreement shall restrict the Participant’s right to (i) report violations of law to law enforcement officials; (ii) give truthful testimony under oath in a judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding; (iii) file a charge with, make truthful statements to, cooperate with investigations by, or assist others in proceedings before state or federal governmental agencies or any other self-regulatory organization (including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission); (iv) speak with an attorney representing the Participant; (v) discuss the facts related to any claim of sexual assault or sexual harassment; (vi) engage in whistle-blower activity protected by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or any rules or regulations issued thereunder (including Rule 21F-17); (vii) file or disclose any facts necessary to receive unemployment insurance, Medicaid, or other public benefits to which the Participant may be entitled; (viii) exercise rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, including the right to discuss terms and conditions of employment with co-workers and labor unions; or (ix) otherwise disclose information that Participant is legally entitled to disclose pursuant to applicable law, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by law. The Participant shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Corporation or its Affiliates. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, (i) the Participant shall not be held criminally, or civilly, liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence either directly or indirectly to a federal, state, or local government official, or an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting, or investigating, a violation of law; (ii) the Participant agrees and understands that individuals may disclose trade secrets in a complaint, or other document, filed in a lawsuit, or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; and (iii) the Participant agrees and understands that an individual who files a lawsuit alleging retaliation by the Corporation or its Affiliates for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. For the avoidance of doubt, the Participant’s past, present or future exercise of any rights described in this Section 19(f) shall not constitute a breach of this Award Agreement.

(g)Business Ideas. Subject to Section 19(h), the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation owns all rights in all Business Ideas (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an assignment is needed during the term of the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and at any time following the termination of employment, the Participant hereby assigns without further action being required to the Corporation all Business Ideas. The Participant shall promptly execute all documents which the Corporation may reasonably require to perfect, maintain and protect its patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and any and all other rights to such Business Ideas throughout the world, and shall provide other reasonable assistance and cooperation as may be necessary for the Corporation to investigate, perfect, maintain and protect those rights, including assistance and cooperation with litigation relating to any Business Ideas. Even after the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate terminates, the Participant will continue to be reasonably available to assist the Corporation with its efforts to investigate, perfect, maintain and protect rights in any Business Ideas, including assistance with litigation relating to any Business Ideas. “Business Ideas” as used in this Award Agreement means all ideas, concepts, innovations, inventions, strategy, data, developments, and works of authorship, whether or not patentable, both technical and business, which the Participant originates, conceives or develops, either alone or in conjunction with others, at any time during the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate, except those which satisfy all three of the following criteria: (i) unrelated to the Corporation’s business; (ii) not originated, conceived or developed during the Participant's working hours; and (iii) not originated, conceived or developed by use of any Corporation property such as tools, supplies, equipment,

materials, facilities or other Corporation employees. Any idea, concept, innovation, invention, strategy, data, development or work of authorship that the Participant originates, conceives or develops, through the use of Corporation Confidential Information, at any time within six (6) months after the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate terminates (for any reason) will be presumed to be a Business Idea unless the Participant can prove otherwise by clear and convincing evidence.

(h)State-Specific Provisions.

i.If the Participant lives or works in California at the time of or after termination of employment, Section 19(b) and Section 19(d) do not apply after the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or its Affiliates ends.

ii.If the Participant primarily lives or works in Colorado at the time of termination of employment, the Participant and the Corporation and its Affiliates agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Colorado for any dispute arising under Section 19(b) or Section 19(d) and that those Sections shall be governed by Colorado law.

iii.If the Participant’s principal place of employment is Washington, the Participant and the Corporation and its Affiliates agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Washington for any dispute arising under Section 19(b) and that Section 19(b) shall be governed by Washington law.

iv.If the Participant’s principal place of employment is a state listed the United States sub-section of Appendix A, then the applicable provision(s) in Appendix A shall also apply.

v.This Award Agreement shall not require the Participant to assign the Participant’s rights in any invention that qualifies fully for the protection of a state law applicable to the Participant that governs assignment of inventions, such as California Labor Code § 2870, which provides:

(i)Notification Requirement. During the term of the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and for the period of two (2) years following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant agrees to notify the Corporation in writing prior to accepting new employment, or engaging in any other activity which may violate this Award Agreement, and the Participant agrees to provide in such notice information concerning the anticipated new employment or activity, including, but not limited to: name of new employer; address of new employer; name of new team leader; job title; and scope and responsibilities of the new position. The Participant recognizes that such duty of notification is not affected by the Participant’s belief that such employment may perhaps not violate this Award Agreement or otherwise be unfairly competitive with the Corporation or an Affiliate. The Participant’s written notice

should be addressed to the Corporation's General Counsel with subject line Non-Competition Agreement, via email to Noncompete.Notification@kcc.com.

(j)Other Notification. During the period of two (2) years following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, the Participant shall provide a copy of Section 19 of this Award Agreement to each new employer before starting in any new employment. The Participant agrees that the Corporation may notify any third party about the Participant’s obligations under Section 19 of this Award Agreement until such obligations are fulfilled.

(k)Damages and Remedies. In the event of an anticipated, threatened, or actual breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Section 19, the Corporation and its Affiliates shall be entitled to all damages available as a matter of law. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any damages would not be an adequate remedy to compensate the Corporation or an Affiliate for the harm to the business of the Corporation or the Affiliate and, in such event, agrees that the Corporation or the Affiliate, as applicable, shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and to injunctive relief to prevent or terminate such anticipated or actual breach, provided, however, that nothing in this Award Agreement shall be construed to limit any additional relief to which the Corporation or the Affiliate may be entitled or the damages otherwise recoverable by the Corporation or the Affiliate in any such event.

(l)Forfeiture of Award. Notwithstanding the Corporation's or an Affiliate's ability to pursue injunctive relief pursuant to Section 19(k), in the event of an actual breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Section 19 or of any stand-alone restrictive covenant agreement, the Corporation also is entitled to: (i) require the Participant to repay to the Corporation, immediately upon demand, an amount equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issued on settlement of the PRSUs (less $1,000); and/or (ii) forfeit any portion of the Award that has not vested or been settled yet at the time the Corporation becomes aware of the breach.

(m)Reimbursement of Fees. If the Participant violates any of the provisions of this Section 19, or any duty of loyalty or confidentiality imposed by law, in addition to any damages that the Participant may be required to pay, the Participant understands and agrees that the Participant shall be required to reimburse the Corporation for all its costs incurred to enforce this Award Agreement, including but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees.

(n)Successors and Beneficiaries. For purposes of this Section 19, the Corporation and each of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 19. Further, for purposes of this Section 19, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.

(o)Prior Restrictive Covenants. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant is not a party to any agreement with any other company containing a confidentiality or noncompetition provision or other restriction that relates to the Business of the Corporation which Participant has not already disclosed to the Corporation or its Affiliates in writing. Participant understands that Participant is prohibited from disclosing or using during Participant’s employment with the Corporation any confidential information or trade secrets that Participant acquired from any previous employer.

(p)Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this Section 19 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from the Award Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Award Agreement, all of which shall remain valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the covenants contained in this Section 19 are unenforceable because they are overbroad in some respect, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the court should sever, revise or reform any aspect of this Section 19 so as to make the scope of such Section 19 as broad as reasonable under applicable law and enforce this Section 19 as so modified. Without limiting the foregoing, if a court, government agency or other

body of competent jurisdiction establishes or the Corporation otherwise determines that the covenants contained in this Award Agreement are unenforceable and/or in violation of applicable rules, the Corporation reserves the right to unilaterally amend the Award Agreement so as to comply with applicable rules.

(q)Advice to Seek Independent Counsel. The Participant is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this Section 19. The Participant acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Award Agreement, the Participant has been advised by the Corporation of the Participant's right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Participant's own selection regarding this Award Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon the Participant pursuant to this Section 19. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has entered into this Award Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Award Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The Participant further represents that in entering into this Award Agreement, the Participant is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Corporations' directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that the Participant is relying only upon the Participant's own judgment and any advice provided by the Participant's attorney. The Participant acknowledges he or she has been provided at minimum 14 calendar days to review the provisions contained herein.

(r)Tolling. Subject to Section 19(h), if the Participant violates any of the restrictions of this Section 19, the period for all such restrictions shall automatically be extended by the period the Participant was in violation of them.

(s)Acknowledgements. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate affords the Participant unique opportunities for professional and personal development; that the services rendered by the Participant to the Corporation or any Affiliate are of a special and unique character; that the Participant will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to the Corporation's industry, methods of doing business, and strategies by virtue of the Participant's employment; that the Participant may be able to utilize such knowledge to the detriment of the Corporation and its Affiliates; and that the terms and conditions of this Section 19 are reasonable under the circumstances. The Participant further acknowledges that the Participant will not be subject to undue hardship by reason of the Participant's full compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 19 or the Corporation's or its Affiliate’s enforcement thereof.

20.    Restrictive Covenants For Participants Outside the U.S.

(a)    Application. The provisions of this Section 20 apply to Participants who are employed by an Affiliate located outside the United States and are subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States as of the date of termination of the Participant's employment, provided, however, that to the extent the Participant is party to an employment or other agreement with any Affiliate containing non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, business ideas or similar restrictions (the “local restrictive covenants”), whether or not such local restrictive covenants have been agreed to before or after execution of this Award Agreement, those local restrictive covenants and related enforcement provisions shall apply and the following provisions of this Section 20 shall also apply, unless otherwise determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 20(j) below shall apply in any case.

(b)    Confidentiality. During the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and indefinitely thereafter, the Participant undertakes to maintain the confidentiality of, and not to divulge to any person (except as required by law) any of the Corporation's or any Affiliate's Confidential Information (as defined below), nor use the same for any other purpose, other than to carry out the Participant’s functions as an employee of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates. The Participant shall use all personal endeavors to prevent publication or disclosure of such Confidential Information. The Participant will comply with the policies and procedures of the Corporation for protecting Confidential

Information and shall not disclose to any person or use, other than as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of the Participant’s duties and responsibilities to the Corporation and its Affiliates, any Confidential Information. Nothing in this Award Agreement shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation, or order, including initiating, testifying, assisting, complying with a subpoena from, or participating in any manner with an investigation conducted by a local agency, filing or disclosing any facts necessary to receive social insurance or other public benefits. The Participant shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to an authorized officer of the Corporation. Nothing in this Award Agreement prohibits or restricts the Participant (or Participant's attorney) from initiating communications directly with, responding to an inquiry from, or providing testimony before any regulatory authority. “Confidential Information,” for purposes of this Section 20, shall mean (i) statutory trade secrets; (ii) proprietary information developed or acquired by the Corporation that does not rise to the level of a statutorily protectable trade secret and is made the property of the Corporation through this mutual Agreement of the parties; and (iii) information that is otherwise legally protectable. Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information in whatever form (including, without limitation, in written, oral, visual or electronic form or on any magnetic or optical disk or memory storage medium, as well as other physical items wherever located, and abstracts or summaries of the foregoing) relating to the business, suppliers, customers, products, affairs and finances of the Corporation or any Affiliate for the time being confidential to the Corporation or any Affiliate, ideas, conceptions, compilations of data, and developments created by the Corporation, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable, and trade secrets including, without limitation, technical data and know-how relating to the business of the Corporation or any Affiliate, or any of their suppliers, customers, agents, distributors, shareholders or management, including (but not limited to) business plans, pricing strategies, financial information, patent rights, patent applications, information concerning tenders and potential contracts, information concerning proposed product ranges, product development information, employee and salary information, research and development activities or manufacturing methods that the Participant creates, develops, receives, obtains or has knowledge of in connection with the Participant's employment, and all other matters which relate to the business of the Corporation or any Affiliate and in respect of which information is not readily available in the ordinary course of such business to the Corporation's Competitors, whether or not such information (if in anything other than oral form) is marked confidential. “Competitor,” for purposes of this Section 20, means a person or entity who engages in a business that is the same or substantially the same as any aspect of the Business of the Corporation. “Business of the Corporation,” for purposes of this Section 20, is the development, production, sales and/or marketing of (i) health and hygiene products and related apparel; (ii) washroom and workplace protective and safety products; (iii) any product for which the Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain, manufacturing oversight, or other responsibilities or was provided with regular and material access to Confidential Information; and (iv) the materials, packaging and other components/subcomponents of such products including, without limitation, non-wood plants and products derived therefrom including any fibers, pulps or extracts.

(c)    Non-Competition. During the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate, it is acknowledged that the Participant will acquire Confidential Information, and should the Participant’s employment cease, it may be difficult to police Section 20(b) above, prohibiting the disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is further acknowledged that it may be difficult to police the non-solicitation and dealing sub-sections set out below. For these reasons, during the term of the Participant’s employment and for the applicable period listed in Appendix B of this Award Agreement following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, without the written consent of General Counsel of the Corporation or their designee, in any country or countries for which Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain, manufacturing oversight, or other responsibilities during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment or was provided with regular

and material access to Confidential Information regarding the Corporation’s or an Affiliate's business operations in that country or countries during the last two (2) years of Participant’s employment, either directly or indirectly, perform duties or undertake responsibilities (including without limitation as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, contractor, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or any other similar capacity) for a Competitor that are the same or substantially similar to those duties or responsibilities that the Participant performed or undertook for the Corporation or an Affiliate during the two (2) year period prior to the end of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate.

(d)     Business Ideas. The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation owns all rights in all Business Ideas (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an assignment is needed during the term of the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and at any time following the termination of employment, the Participant hereby assigns without further action being required to the Employer all Business Ideas. The Participant shall promptly execute all documents which the Corporation may reasonably require to perfect, maintain and protect its patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and any and all other rights to such Business Ideas throughout the world, and shall provide other reasonable assistance and cooperation as may be necessary for the Corporation or the Employer to investigate, perfect, maintain and protect those rights, including assistance and cooperation with litigation relating to any Business Ideas. Even after the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate terminates, the Participant will continue to be reasonably available to assist the Corporation or the Employer with its efforts to investigate, perfect, maintain and protect rights in any Business Ideas, including assistance with litigation relating to any Business Ideas. “Business Ideas” as used in this Award Agreement means all ideas, concepts, innovations, inventions, strategy, data, developments, and works of authorship, whether or not patentable, both technical and business, which the Participant originates, conceives or develops, either alone or in conjunction with others, at any time during the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate, except those which satisfy all three of the following criteria: (i) unrelated to the Corporation's business; (ii) not originated, conceived or developed during the Participant's working hours; and (iii) not originated, conceived or developed by use of any Corporation property such as tools, supplies, equipment, materials, facilities or other Corporation employees. Any idea, concept, innovation, invention, strategy, data, development or work of authorship that the Participant originates, conceives or develops, through the use of Corporation Confidential Information, at any time within six (6) months after the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate terminates (for any reason) will be presumed to be a Business Idea unless the Participant can prove otherwise by clear and convincing evidence.

(e)    Notification Requirement. During the term of the Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and for the period of two (2) years following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, the Participant agrees to notify the Corporation in writing prior to accepting new employment, or engaging in any other activity which may violate this Award Agreement, and the Participant agrees to provide in such notice information concerning the anticipated new employment or activity, including, but not limited to: name of new employer; address of new employer; name of new team leader; job title; and scope and responsibilities of the new position. The Participant recognizes that such duty of notification is not affected by the Participant’s belief that such employment may perhaps not violate this Award Agreement or otherwise be unfairly competitive with the Corporation or an Affiliate. The Participant’s written notice should be addressed to the Corporation's General Counsel with subject line Non-Competition Agreement, via email to Noncompete.Notification@kcc.com.

(f)     Other Notification. During the period of two (2) years following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, the Participant shall provide a copy of Section 20 of this Award Agreement to each new employer before starting in any new employment. The Participant agrees that the Corporation may notify any third party about the Participant’s obligations under Section 20 of this Award Agreement until such obligations are fulfilled.

(g)    Non-Solicitation of Business. During the term of the Participant’s employment and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, either directly or indirectly, on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm or company or other entity, solicit, interfere with, entice or endeavor to entice away from the Corporation or any Affiliate any Restricted Customer (as defined below), or seek to conduct Restricted Business (as defined below), or conduct Restricted Business, with any Restricted Customer and/or otherwise persuade, induce, solicit or encourage any person or entity to terminate its contractual relationship with the Corporation or any Affiliate. “Restricted Business,” for purposes of this Section 20, means any business activity carried out by the Participant either directly or indirectly for the Corporation or any Affiliate during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date. “Restricted Customer,” for purposes of this Section 20, means any person, firm or company or other entity who was a customer or distributor of the Corporation or any Affiliate as at the Participant’s termination date, or during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, including any Prospective Customer. “Prospective Customer,” for purposes of this Section 20, means any person, firm or company or other entity with whom the Corporation or any Affiliate was involved in negotiations as at the Participant’s termination date or during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, with a view to dealing with it as a customer and/or to conclude a contractual relationship with such entity, and/or with whom the Participant had contact at the Participant’s termination date or during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date with a view to dealing with it as a customer of the Corporation or any Affiliate and/or to conclude a contractual relationship with such entity.

(h)    Non-Solicitation of Employees. For a period of two (2) years following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, with respect to any person who was an employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate at the Participant’s termination date and with whom the Participant had material dealings during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, (i) directly or indirectly induce such person to leave the employment of the Corporation or of any Affiliate, or (ii) be otherwise involved in the recruitment of such person, to leave the employment of the Corporation or of any Affiliate. Furthermore, the Participant shall not for a period of two (2) years following the termination date regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, with respect to any person who was an employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate at the Participant’s termination date and with whom the Participant had material dealings during the last two (2) years preceding the Participant’s termination date, (i) directly or indirectly induce such person to leave the employment of the Corporation or of any Affiliate to become employed by, associated with and/or form part of any business or concern, in any capacity whatsoever, of any Competitor or (ii) be otherwise involved in the recruitment of such person to become employed by, associated with and/or form part of any business or concern, in any capacity whatsoever, of any Competitor. The Participant must inform the Corporation immediately on becoming aware of any such recruitment.

(i)     Damages and Remedies. In the event of an anticipated, threatened, or actual breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Section 20, the Corporation and its Affiliates shall be entitled to all damages available as a matter of law. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that any damages would not be an adequate remedy to compensate the Corporation or an Affiliate for the harm to the business of the Corporation or the Affiliate and, in such event, agrees that the Corporation or the Affiliate, as applicable, shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and to injunctive relief to prevent or terminate such anticipated or actual breach, provided, however, that nothing in this Award Agreement shall be construed to limit any additional relief to which the Corporation or the Affiliate may be entitled or the damages otherwise recoverable by the Corporation or the Affiliate in any such event.

(j)    Forfeiture of Award. Notwithstanding the Corporation's or an Affiliate's ability to pursue injunctive relief pursuant to Section 20(i), in the event of an actual breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Section 20 or of any local restrictive covenant agreement, the Corporation also is entitled to: (i) require the Participant to repay to the Corporation, immediately upon demand, an amount

equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issued on settlement of the PRSUs (less $1,000); and (ii) forfeit any portion of the Award that has not vested or been settled yet at the time the Corporation becomes aware of the breach.

(k)    Reimbursement of Fees. If the Participant violates any of the provisions of this Section 20, or any duty of loyalty or confidentiality imposed by law, in addition to any damages that the Participant may be required to pay, the Participant understands and agrees that the Participant shall be required to reimburse the Corporation for all its costs incurred to enforce this Award Agreement, including but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees.

(l)    Successors and Beneficiaries. For purposes of this Section 20, the Corporation and each of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be third party beneficiaries with the right to seek enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 20. Further, for purposes of this Section 20, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.

(m)    Prior Restrictive Covenants. Participant acknowledges and agrees that Participant is not a party to any agreement with any other company containing a confidentiality or noncompetition provision or other restriction that relates to the Business of the Corporation which Participant has not already disclosed to the Corporation or its Affiliates in writing. Participant understands that Participant is prohibited from disclosing or using during Participant’s employment with the Corporation any confidential information or trade secrets that Participant acquired from any previous employer.

(n)    Severability and Reformation. If any provision of this Section 20 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from the Award Agreement and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Award Agreement, all of which shall remain valid and enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the covenants contained in this Section 20 are unenforceable because they are overbroad in some respect, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the court should sever, revise or reform any aspect of this Section 20 so as to make the scope of such Section 20 as broad as reasonable under applicable law and enforce this Section 20 as so modified. Without limiting the foregoing, if a court, government agency or other body of competent jurisdiction establishes or the Corporation otherwise determines that the covenants contained in this Award Agreement are unenforceable and/or in violation of applicable rules, the Corporation reserves the right to unilaterally amend the Award Agreement so as to comply with applicable rules.

(o)    Tolling. If the Participant violates any of the restrictions of this Section 20, the period for all such restrictions shall automatically be extended by the period the Participant was in violation of them.

(p)    Acknowledgements. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate affords the Participant unique opportunities for professional and personal development; that the services rendered by the Participant to the Corporation or any Affiliate are of a special and unique character; that the Participant will obtain knowledge and skill relevant to the Corporation's industry, methods of doing business, and strategies by virtue of the Participant's employment; that the Participant may be able to utilize such knowledge to the detriment of the Corporation and its Affiliates; and that the terms and conditions of this Section 20 are reasonable under the circumstances. The Participant further acknowledges that the Participant will not be subject to undue hardship by reason of the Participant's full compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 20 or the Corporation's or its Affiliates’ enforcement thereof.

(q)    Advice to Seek Independent Counsel. The Participant is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before entering into the covenants outlined in this Section 20. The Participant acknowledges that prior to acceptance of this Award Agreement, the Participant has been advised by the Corporation of the Participant's right to seek independent advice from an attorney of the Participant's

own selection regarding this Award Agreement, including the restraints imposed upon the Participant pursuant to this Section 20. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has entered into this Award Agreement knowingly and voluntarily and with full knowledge and understanding of the provisions of this Award Agreement after being given the opportunity to consult with counsel. The Participant further represents that in entering into this Award Agreement, the Participant is not relying on any statements or representations made by any of the Corporations' directors, officers, employees or agents which are not expressly set forth herein, and that the Participant is relying only upon the Participant's own judgment and any advice provided by the Participant's attorney.

21.    Forfeiture and Recoupment.

(a)    The RSUs are subject to the compensation recovery provisions of the Plan. In addition, the RSUs are subject to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Compensation Recoupment Policy (such policy, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Recoupment Policy”) if the Participant is a Leader (as defined in the Recoupment Policy). The RSUs are also subject to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy (such policy, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Recovery Policy”) if the Participant is a Covered Person (as defined in the Recovery Policy). The RSUs are also subject to forfeiture and/or recoupment pursuant to Sections 19(l) and 20(j) herein. A recovery under this Award Agreement may be made by (i) cancelling any RSUs which have not yet vested or been settled; (ii) recovering shares of Common Stock or cash equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issued on settlement of the RSUs, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents; (iii) recovering proceeds realized by the Participant on the sale of such Common Stock; (iv) withholding compensation otherwise due to the Participant; (v) payment by the Participant; and/or (vi) by such other means determined appropriate under the terms of the Recoupment Policy and/or the Recovery Policy. If the Participant is required to repay the Corporation, the Corporation is entitled to offset the payment in a way that is intended to avoid the application of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.

Without limiting the foregoing, if, following a Participant’s termination of employment for a reason other than the Participant’s termination for Cause, the Corporation discovers facts that such Participant’s termination of employment could have been for Cause, such Participant’s termination of employment will be deemed to have been for Cause for all purposes, and as a result, (i) the Corporation will not issue shares of Common Stock or any other benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under the Plan and (ii) the Participant will be required to repay to the Corporation all proceeds received under the Plan that would not have been payable to such Participant had such termination of employment been for Cause.

The Corporation shall have the right to suspend any and all rights or benefits awarded to the Participant hereunder, including vesting and settlement of the RSUs, pending its investigation and final determination with regard to whether the Participant has engaged in conduct constituting Cause or that would warrant application of the Recoupment Policy or Recovery Policy.

(b) By accepting the Award Grant and the terms of this Award Agreement, the Participant understands, acknowledges and accepts that the grant, shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan and proceeds realized by the Participant pursuant to the Plan are subject to the terms of the Recoupment Policy and the Recovery Policy, which the Participant has reviewed and understands, and the Corporation may seek recovery by any of the methods described in Section 21(a) or other such means determined appropriate under the terms of the Recoupment Policy and/or the Recovery Policy.

22.    Whistleblower Statutes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award Agreement, nothing in Sections 19 , 20 or 21 of this Award Agreement is intended to or shall limit, prevent, impede or interfere with the Participant’s non-waivable right, without prior notice to the Corporation, to provide information to the government, participate in investigations, testify in proceedings regarding the Corporation, Employer or any Affiliate’s past or future conduct, engage in any activities protected under

whistleblower statutes, or to receive and fully retain a monetary award from a government-administered whistleblower award program for providing information directly to a government agency. The Participant does not need prior authorization from the Corporation to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Corporation that the Participant has made such reports or disclosures.

23.    Section 409A. It is the intent of this Award Agreement that it and all payments and benefits hereunder be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code so that none of the RSUs provided under this Award Agreement or shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt or so comply.

24.    Acceptance of Award Terms and Conditions. A Participant has until the end of the ninety (90) 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 ninety (90) 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.

The Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees to the following conditions with respect to the Award granted 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, to the extent permitted by the Plan. The grant of an Award is an exceptional, 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 Awards have been granted 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 and vesting provisions.

Participation in the Plan is voluntary and does not create a right to employment with the Participant’s Employer, shall not be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Corporation, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment relationship at any time. The Participant understands that the Corporation has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who are 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.

The Award and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income from and value of same, are extraordinary items that do not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Corporation or, if different, the Employer, and which are outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any, and are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation. As such, the Award, and the income from and value of same, are 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, leave-related payments, holiday pay, 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 other Affiliate.

Unless otherwise agreed with the Corporation, the Award and shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, and the income from and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service the Participant may provide as a director of any Affiliate.

The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty.

No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award or recoupment of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan resulting from (a) the termination of the Participant’s employment by the Corporation or the Employer (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not the termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws); and/or (b) an actual breach by the Participant of Section 19, Section 20, any stand-alone restrictive covenant agreement, or any local restrictive covenant agreement; and/or (c) the application of the Corporation’s Recoupment Policy, Recovery Policy, or any recovery or clawback policy required by law.

The Corporation is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Corporation making any recommendations regarding participation in the Plan, or the acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Further, the Participant understands that he or she should consult with his or her own advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

Neither the Corporation, the Employer nor any other Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement.

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, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Corporation or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges 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 Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges 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.

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

(1)withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Corporation and/or the Employer; or

(2)withholding from the 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 the Participant’s behalf, pursuant to this authorization); or

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

provided, however, that if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then the Corporation will withhold in shares upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is not feasible under applicable tax or law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (1), (2) and (3) above.

The Corporation may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including minimum rates or maximum applicable rates in applicable jurisdictions. In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the common stock equivalent), or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Corporation or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Participant 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 the Participant’s 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 the Participant if he or she fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

The Corporation is located at 351 Phelps Drive Irving, TX 75038, USA and grants employees of the Corporation and its Affiliates the opportunity to participate in the Plan, at the Corporation’s sole discretion. If the Participant would like to participate in the Plan and is an employee in a country outside the European Economic Area, the Participant understands that he or she should review the following information about the Corporation’s data processing practices and declare his or her consent. If the Participant is an employee in a country that is a member of the European Economic Area, the Participant should review the information about the Corporation's data processing practices set forth in Appendix A attached hereto.

The Participant also understands that the Corporation may rely on a different legal basis for the processing or transfer of data in the future and/or request that the Participant provides another data privacy consent.  If applicable and upon request of the Corporation, the Participant agrees to provide an executed acknowledgment or data privacy consent form to the Corporation or the Employer (or any other acknowledgments, agreements or consents) that the Corporation and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future.  The Participant understands that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to execute any such acknowledgment, agreement or consent requested by the Corporation and/or the Employer.

If the Participant agrees with the data processing practices described in this notice, the Participant will declare his or her consent by clicking the "Accept" icon on the Merrill Lynch website.

The Participant understands that he or she is solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses or notices, which may be necessary for the Award, to acquire the shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the 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 the Participant may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.

In accepting the grant of this Award, the Participant 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 Appendix A and Appendix B, in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including Appendix A and Appendix B.

The Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically and expressly approves the following sections of the Award Agreement: Section 2(g) on Payment of Tax-Related Items; Section 5 on No Right of Continued Employment; Section 8 on Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction; the section on Acknowledgment of Conditions; and the Data Privacy Notice sections of both the Award Agreement and Appendix A for the Participant's country.

Subject to Sections 19(p) and 20(n), 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.

The Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement. Furthermore, if the Participant has 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 additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Award Agreement for the Participant's country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to any of the countries included in Appendix A, the additional terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Corporation determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Appendix A and Appendix B constitute part of this Award Agreement.

The Participant acknowledges that the grant of an Award is expressly conditioned on the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 19 and 20.

The Corporation reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's 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 for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant 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. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by on-line delivery and agrees 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.

A waiver by the Corporation of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Participant or any other participant.

The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect the Participant's ability to, directly or indirectly, accept, acquire, sell, or attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock or rights to shares of Common Stock (e.g., RSUs), or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Corporation (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions or the Participant's country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Participant may be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell Corporation securities.  Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Corporation insider trading policy.  The Participant is responsible for ensuring his or her compliance with any applicable restrictions and is advised to speak with his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

The Participant's country may have certain foreign asset and/or foreign account reporting requirements, tax and/or exchange controls which may affect the Participant's ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends paid on shares acquired under the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant's country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant's country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of his or her participation in the Plan to the Participant’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. In addition, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Corporation or the Employer as may be required to allow the Corporation or the Employer to comply with local laws, rules and regulations in the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Finally, the Participant agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with their personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in their country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.

The Participant acknowledges that he or she has reviewed the Corporation’s Code of Conduct. The Participant further acknowledges that he or she understands and will comply with the terms and standards contained in that Code of Conduct, including but not limited to the prohibition against retaliation, and specifically acknowledges that he or she has an obligation to report suspected violations of the Code of Conduct pursuant to the Corporation’s Escalation Policy.

The Participant accepts this grant via electronic signature by clicking the "Accept" icon and certifies that he or she has read, understands and agrees to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Equity Participation Plan (the "Plan"), the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement and all other applicable documents (including any country-specific terms applicable to the Participant's grant). The Participant hereby authorizes the Employer to furnish the Corporation (and any agent administering the Plan or providing recordkeeping services) with such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Awards and enable administration of the Plan and the Participant understands that such information shall be used only as long and to the extent necessary to administer the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Participant agrees that his or her participation in the Plan and the Awards granted to the Participant under the Plan will be governed solely by Delaware law.

Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Award Agreement.

This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Participant under the Plan if the Participant resides and/or works in any of the countries listed below.

This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of April 2023. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of the Participant’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at vesting of the Award or the subsequent sale of the shares or receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Corporation is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant’s country may apply to the Participant’s situation.

Finally, if the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, transferred or transfers employment and or residency after the Award is granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to the Participant. The Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant in such circumstances.

For Participants resident in a country in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the following language replaces in its entirety the data privacy section in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

Neither the RSUs nor the underlying shares of Common Stock are publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange in Argentina.

Argentine residents must report any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and held on December 31st of each year on their annual tax return for the year.

Please note that exchange control regulations in Argentina are subject to frequent change. The Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor regarding any exchange control obligations the Participant may have in connection with the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant must comply with any and all Argentine currency exchange restrictions, approvals and reporting requirements in connection with the vesting of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends paid on such shares.

This offer is being made under Division 1A, Part 7.12 of the Australia Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Please note that if the Participant offers shares of Common Stock for sale to a person or entity resident in Australia, the offer may be subject to disclosure requirements under Australian law. The Participant should obtain legal advice regarding the relevant disclosure obligations prior to making any such offer.

The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (the “Act”) applies (subject to conditions in the Act).

Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan or the Award Agreement, the Participant will not be entitled to and shall not claim any benefit under the Plan if the provision of such benefit would give rise to a breach of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth.) (the “Act”), any other provision of the Act, or any other applicable statute, rule or regulation which limits or restricts the giving of such benefits. Further, the Employer is under no obligation to seek or obtain the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting for the purpose of overcoming any such limitation or restriction.

Exchange control reporting is required for cash transactions exceeding AUD 10,000 and for international fund transfers. If an Australian bank is assisting with the transaction, the bank will file the report on the Participant’s behalf. If there is no Australian bank involved in the transaction, the Participant will be required to file the report him or herself.

The Award Agreement, Plan and all other materials the Participant may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or the offering of securities in Bahrain, nor do they constitute an allotment of securities in Bahrain. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the RSUs will be deposited into a Corporation-designated brokerage account outside Bahrain. In no event will shares of Common Stock be issued or delivered in Bahrain. The issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the RSUs described herein has not and will not be registered in Bahrain and, hence, the shares of Common Stock described herein may not be admitted or used for offering, placement or public circulation in Bahrain. Accordingly, the Participant may not make any public advertising or announcements regarding the RSUs or shares of Common Stock in Bahrain, promote these shares of Common Stock to legal entities or individuals in Bahrain, or sell shares of Common Stock directly to other legal entities or individuals in Bahrain. Any disposition or sale of such shares of Common Stock must take place outside Bahrain.

Belgian residents are required to report any securities (e.g., shares acquired under the Plan) or bank accounts opened and maintained outside Belgium (e.g., any brokerage account opened in connection with the Plan) on their annual tax returns. Belgian residents are also required to complete a separate report providing the National Bank of Belgium with details regarding any such account, including the account number, the name of the bank in which such account is held and the country in which such account is located. The forms to complete this report are available on the website of the National Bank of Belgium. Belgian residents should consult with their personal tax advisors to determine their personal reporting obligations.

A stock exchange tax applies to transactions executed by a Belgian resident through a non-Belgian financial intermediary, such as a U.S. broker. The Stock Exchange Tax likely will apply when the Participant sells shares of Common Stock. The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor for additional details regarding the Participant’s obligations with respect to the Stock Exchange Tax.

An annual securities accounts tax may be payable if the total value of securities held in a Belgian or foreign securities account (e.g., shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) exceeds a certain threshold on four reference dates within the relevant reporting period (i.e., December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30). In such cases, the tax will be due on the value of the qualifying securities held in such account. The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor regarding the application of this tax.

There are no country-specific provisions.

By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that he or she agrees to comply with applicable Brazilian laws and pay any and all applicable Tax-Related Items associated with the vesting of the RSUs, the conversion of the RSUs into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the receipt of any dividends, and the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

By accepting the Award, the Participant agrees that (i) the Participant is making an investment decision; (ii) the shares of Common Stock will be issued to Participant only if the vesting and/or performance conditions are met, and (iii) the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is not fixed and may increase or decrease in value over the vesting period without compensation to the Participant.

If the Participant is resident or domiciled in Brazil, he or she will be required to submit annually a declaration of assets and rights held outside of Brazil to the Central Bank of Brazil if the aggregate value of such assets and rights is equal to or greater than US$1,000,000. Assets and rights that must be reported include shares of Common Stock, and may include RSUs.

Tax on Financial Transaction (IOF).

Payments to foreign countries and repatriation of funds into Brazil (including proceeds from the sale) and the conversion of USD into BRL associated with such fund transfers may be subject to the Tax on Financial Transactions. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable Tax on Financial Transactions arising from the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant should consult with his or her personal tax advisor for additional details.

The Participant is permitted to sell shares acquired through the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided the resale of shares acquired under the Plan takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed. The Corporation’s shares are currently listed on New York Stock Exchange.

The following provision supplements the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

Except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or this Award Agreement, for the purposes of this Award Agreement, the Participant's termination of employment will be measured effective as of the date that is the earlier of: (1) the date the Participant's employment is terminated, no matter how the termination arises; and (2) the date the Participant receives notice of termination of employment from the Employer. In either case, the date shall exclude any period during which notice, pay in lieu of notice or related payments or damages are provided or required to be provided under local law. For greater certainty, the Participant will not earn or be entitled to any pro-rated vesting for that portion of time before the date on which the Participant's right to vest terminates, nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable employment standards

legislation explicitly requires continued vesting during a statutory notice period, the Participant's right to vest in the RSUs, if any, will terminate effective as of the last day of the Participant's minimum statutory notice period, but the Participant will not earn or be entitled to pro-rated vesting if the vesting date falls after the end of the Participant's statutory notice period, nor will the Participant be entitled to any compensation for lost vesting.

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the vesting schedule may change prospectively in the event the Participant’s service status changes between full- and part-time and/or in the event the Participant is on a leave of absence, in accordance with Corporation’s policies relating to work schedules and vesting of RSUs or as determined by the Committee. In case of any dispute as to whether and when a termination of the Participant’s employment has occurred, the Committee will have sole discretion to determine whether such termination of the Participant’s employment has occurred and the effective date of such termination (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be actively providing services while on a leave of absence).

A French translation of the Plan and the Award Agreement can be made available to the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable upon the Participant’s request. The Participant understands that, from time to time, additional information related to the offering of the Plan might be provided in English and such information may not be immediately available in French. However, upon request, the Corporation will translate into French documents related to the offering of the Plan as soon as reasonably practicable.

The Participant hereby authorizes the Corporation and the Corporation’s representatives, including the broker(s) designated by the Corporation, to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. The Participant further authorizes the Corporation, any Affiliate and the plan administrators to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors. The Participant further authorizes the Corporation and any Affiliate to record such information and to keep such information in the Participant’s employee file. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s personal information, including any sensitive personal information, may be transferred or disclosed outside the Province of Quebec, including to the United States. Finally, the Participant acknowledges that the Corporation, the Employer or any other Affiliate or other parties involved in the administration of the Plan use technology for profiling purposes and to make automated decisions that may have an impact on the Participant or the administration of the Plan.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information

Foreign specified property (including shares of Common Stock) held by Canadian residents must be reported annually on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of such foreign specified property exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year. Foreign specified property includes shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and may include the RSUs. The RSUs must be reported - generally at a nil cost - if the $100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property the Participant holds. If shares of Common Stock are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the shares. The ACB would normally equal the Fair Market Value of the shares at vesting, but if the Participant owns other shares, this ACB may have to be averaged with the

ACB of the other shares owned by the Participant. If due, the Form must be filed by April 30 of the following year. The Participant should speak with a personal tax advisor to determine the scope of foreign property that must be considered for purposes of this requirement.

The RSUs are granted and are made subject to general ruling n° 336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (“CMF”). This offer refers to securities not registered at the securities registry or at the foreign securities registry of the CMF, and therefore such securities are not subject to its oversight. Given that these securities are not registered in Chile, there is no obligation from the issuer to provide public information on them in Chile. These securities cannot be subject to public offering in Chile while they are not registered at the corresponding securities registry in Chile.

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

The Chilean Internal Revenue Service (the “CIRS”) requires all taxpayers to provide
information annually regarding (i) the results of investments held abroad and (ii) any taxes paid
abroad which the taxpayers will use as a credit against Chilean income tax. The sworn
statements disclosing this information (or Formularios) must be submitted electronically
through the CIRS website, www.sii.cl, using Form 1929, which is due on July 1 each year.

The following provisions apply only to Participants who are subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE"), as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion:

The following provision replaces Section 2(d) of the Award Agreement.

In the event that 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 calculated as (1) the total number of RSUs granted under the Award minus the number of RSUs already vested under the Award multiplied by (2) the number of full months of employment during the Restricted Period divided by 36. Any fractional share of the Corporation resulting from such a prorated award shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and shall be paid, along with any other shares earned under such prorated award, within 70 days following the Participant's termination of employment. For the purposes of this Award, a shutdown or divestiture of the Corporation’s or its Affiliate’s business unit is defined as one for which the charges related to the shutdown or divestiture are accounted for, and reported externally, as an exit activity in the Corporation's applicable SEC filings. The Corporation has complete discretion to determine whether a shutdown or divestiture of a business unit has occurred under the terms of the Plan.

Except for termination of employment due to Retirement or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit, as described above, and notwithstanding any other provision in the Award Agreement, the Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents, upon any termination of employment including, but not limited to, any termination that is due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, death 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 Retirement, then provided that, in the sole discretion of the Corporation, (i) no circumstances exist that could lead to a determination that the Participant should be, or could have been, terminated for Cause; and (ii) an Accounting Restatement (as defined in the Recovery Policy, as applicable) has not occurred and/or the Participant has not engaged in conduct that would trigger the Committee’s right of recoupment under the Corporation's Recoupment Policy (as defined in Section 21 of this Award Agreement), it shall result in 100% vesting of any RSUs that are outstanding and unvested under this Award grant and such Award shall be paid within 70 days following the Participant's termination of employment or such later period as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, subject to Section 20(l) of the Plan, if applicable.

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she must sell any shares of Common Stock issued to him or her upon vesting of the RSUs as soon as practicable following the Participant's termination of employment for any reason and in no event later than three months following the Participant's termination of employment. The Participant agrees that if he or she continues to hold any of such shares of Common Stock after this time, the shares of Common Stock may be sold by the Corporation’s designated broker on the Participant's behalf at the instruction of the Corporation. Therefore, by accepting the RSUs, the Participant understands and agrees that the Corporation is authorized to, and may in its sole discretion, instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of shares of Common Stock (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and that the Participant expressly authorizes the Corporation’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock. The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation’s designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Common Stock at any particular price. Upon the sale of the shares of Common Stock, the proceeds, less any Tax-Related Items and brokerage fees or commissions will be remitted to the Participant pursuant to the procedures described in the “Exchange Control Information” section below.

Shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Plan must be maintained in an account with Merrill Lynch or such other broker as may be designated by the Corporation until the shares of Common Stock are sold through that broker. If the Corporation changes its broker, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation may transfer any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan to the new designated broker if necessary for legal or administrative reasons. The Participant agrees to sign any documentation necessary to facilitate the transfer. In addition, the Participant may be required to sell any shares of Common Stock obtained under the Plan if the Corporation determines that the application of such condition is necessary or advisable for China SAFE exchange control, legal or other administrative reasons.

The Participant understands and agrees that, to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements, the Participant will be required to immediately repatriate to China the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the RSUs or from any dividends or dividend equivalents paid on the shares of Common Stock. The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Corporation or one of its Affiliates in China, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that the cash proceeds related to the Participant's participation in the Plan may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The Corporation may deliver the proceeds to the Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Corporation's discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, the Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are converted to local currency, there may be delays in delivering the proceeds to the Participant. The Participant agrees to bear the risk of any currency fluctuation between the time the shares of Common Stock are sold, either through voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation, or proceeds are otherwise realized under the Plan and the time such proceeds are distributed to the Participant through the special exchange control account.

The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Corporation in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

The shares of Common Stock are not and will not be registered in the Colombian registry of publicly traded securities (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores) and therefore the shares of Common Stock may not be offered to the public in Colombia. Nothing in this document should be construed as the making of a public offer of securities in Colombia. An offer of shares of Common Stock to employees will not be considered a public offer provided that it meets the conditions set forth in Article 6.1.1.1.1 in Decree 2555,2010. In the event that the Corporation, in its sole discretion, determines that the offer of the Awards in Colombia may constitute a “public offer of securities”, the Participant understands and agrees that the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, cease to offer participation in the Plan in Colombia. In the event that the Corporation exercises its discretion to cease offering the Plan in Colombia, the Participant will no longer be permitted to participate in the Plan as of the date established by the Corporation.

Exchange Control Information

Colombian residents must register shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, regardless of value, with the Central Bank of Colombia (Banco de la República) as foreign investment held abroad. In addition, the liquidation of such investments must be transferred through the Colombian foreign exchange market (e.g. local banks), which includes the obligation of correctly completing and filing the

appropriate foreign exchange form (declaración de cambio). The Participant is responsible for complying with applicable exchange control requirements in Colombia.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information

The Participant must file an informative return with the Colombian Tax Office detailing any assets held abroad. If the individual value of any of these assets exceeds a certain threshold, the Participant must describe each asset and indicate the jurisdiction in which it is located, its nature and its value.

The following provision supplements the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

The Participant acknowledges that pursuant to Article 128 of the Colombian Labor Code, the Plan and related benefits do not constitute a component of the Participant's “salary” for any legal purpose. To this extent, they will not be included for purposes of calculating any labor benefits, such as legal/fringe benefits, vacation, indemnities, payroll taxes, social insurance contributions and/or any other labor-related amount which may be payable.

There are no country-specific provisions.

The Czech National Bank may require the Participant to fulfill certain notification duties in relation to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock and the opening and maintenance of a foreign account (e.g., may be required to report foreign direct investment, financial credits from abroad, investment in foreign securities, and associated collections and payments). However, because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the RSUs and the sale of Common Stock to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with any applicable Czech exchange control laws.

French residents holding shares of Common Stock outside of France or maintaining a foreign bank account are required to report such to the French tax authorities when filing their annual tax returns, including any accounts that were closed during the year.

Effective from September 2013, the report must be filed electronically. The form of report (“Allgemeine Meldeportal Statistik”) can be accessed via the Bundesbank’s website (www.bundesbank.de) and is available in both German and English. The Participant is responsible for satisfying the reporting obligation.

If the Participant’s acquisition of shares of Common Stock leads to a so-called qualified participation at any point during the calendar year, the Participant will need to report the acquisition when he or she files a tax return for the relevant year. A qualified participation occurs only if (i) the Participant owns 1% or more of the Corporation and the value of the shares of Common Stock exceeds €150,000 or (ii) the Participant holds shares of Common Stock exceeding 10% of the Corporation’s total Common Stock.

By participating in the Plan, the Participant acknowledges that he or she is proficient in reading and understanding English and fully understands the terms of the Plan, or, alternatively, that the Participant will seek appropriate assistance to understand the terms and conditions in the Award Agreement and this Appendix A.

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she will be restricted from online brokerage account transactions the Corporation’s designated broker. Therefore, by accepting the Awards, the Participant understands and agrees that the Participant will call the Corporation’s designated broker to initiate any sale or transfer of any shares of Common Stock issued to him or her upon vesting of the Awards.

If the Participant is a director of the Corporation’s Malaysian Affiliate, the Participant 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 Participant receives or disposes of an interest (e.g., an Award or shares) in the Corporation or any related company.

By accepting the Award, the Participant understands and agrees that any modification of the Plan or the Award Agreement or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of employment.

In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Appendix A, 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 Participant further acknowledges that the Participant has read and specifically and expressly approves the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement, in which the following is clearly described and established:

    (1)    The Participant’s participation in the Plan does not constitute an acquired right.

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

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

    (4)    Neither the Corporation nor any Affiliates are responsible for any decrease in the value of the Award granted and/or shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan.

In accepting the grant of this Award, the Participant expressly recognizes that the 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 Participant’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between the Participant and the Corporation since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and his or her sole Employer is K-C AFC Manufacturing S. de R.L. de C.V. (“KCC-Mexico”). Based on the foregoing, the Participant 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 Participant 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 Participant’s employment.

The Participant 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 Participant’s participation at any time without any liability to the Participant.

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

The RSUs and the shares of Common Stock offered under the Plan have not been registered with the National Register of Securities maintained by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission and cannot be offered or sold publicly in Mexico. In addition, the Plan, the Award Agreement and any other document relating to the RSUs may not be publicly distributed in Mexico. These materials are addressed to the Participant only because of their existing relationship with the Corporation and these materials should not be reproduced or copied in any form. The offer contained in these materials does not constitute a public offering of securities but rather constitutes a private placement of securities addressed specifically to individuals who are present employees of the Mexican subsidiary of the Corporation made in accordance with the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law, and any rights under such offering shall not be assigned or transferred.

There are no country-specific provisions

The Participant is being offered RSUs which, if vested, will entitle the Participant to acquire shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan. The shares of Common Stock, if issued, will give the Participant a stake in the ownership of the Corporation. The Participant may receive a return if dividends are paid.

If the Corporation runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preferred shares (if any) have been paid. The Participant may lose some or all of the Participant’s investment, if any.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result,

the Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment. The Participant is advised to ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.

The shares of Common Stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). This means that if the Participant acquires shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Participant may be able to sell the shares of Common Stock on the NYSE if there are interested buyers. The Participant may get less than the Participant invested. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.

For a copy of the Corporation’s most recent financial statements (and, where applicable, a copy of the auditor’s report on those financial statements), as well as information on risk factors impacting the Corporation’s business that may affect the value of the shares of Common Stock, the Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion on the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov as well as on the Corporation’s “Investor Relations” website at https://investor.kimberly-clark.com.

There are no country-specific provisions.

Neither this Award nor any shares of Common Stock that the Participant may acquire at vesting of this Award constitute a public offering of securities, as they are available only to eligible employees of the Corporation and its Affiliates.

There are no country-specific provisions.

Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement, Awards granted to Participants in the Philippines do not provide any right for the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock and shall be paid only in cash in an amount equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock at vesting less any Tax-Related Items. The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Awards vest and the time the cash payment is distributed to the Participant. The Corporation reserves the right to settle the Awards in shares of Common Stock to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

By accepting the Award, the Participant consents and agrees to assume any and all liability for fringe benefit tax that may be payable by the Corporation and/or the Employer (as determined by the Corporation or the Employer in their discretion) in connection with the Award and any awards previously granted by the Corporation. Further, by accepting the Award, the Participant agrees that the Corporation and/or the Employer may collect the fringe benefit tax from the Participant by any of the means set forth in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement, or any other reasonable method established by the Corporation.

There are no country specific provisions.

Settlement of RSUs 

Depending on applicable restrictions then in effect, the Corporation has the sole discretion to postpone the vesting and/or settlement of any RSUs, to determine whether to settle any vested RSUs in shares of Common Stock or in cash, or to cancel such RSUs for no consideration. 

This Award Agreement, the Plan and all other materials the Participant may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia. Absent any requirement under local law, 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.

The Participant understands that the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock under the Plan are to be issued and sold solely in the United States. Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant upon vesting of the RSUs shall be delivered to the Participant’s brokerage account in the United States, where such shares of Common Stock must be held until the time of sale. In no event will shares of Common Stock be delivered to the Participant in Russia.

All restrictions on the payment of funds by non-residents into a Russian resident’s declared foreign brokerage account in the United States, including dividends and proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock have been abolished. Russian residents may now receive, hold and remit dividends and proceeds from the sale of shares (including shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) into and out of a brokerage account without any requirement to first repatriate such funds to an authorized bank in Russia. The Participant should be aware that the rules related to foreign bank accounts are different and that certain restrictions with respect to payments by non-residents into a Russian currency resident’s foreign bank account may continue to apply where the foreign bank account is located in the U.S. The Participant should contact his or her personal advisor to confirm the application of the exchange control restrictions prior to vesting in the RSUs and selling shares of Common Stock, as significant penalties may apply in the case of non-compliance with the exchange control restrictions and because such exchange control restrictions are subject to change.

Russian residents are required to report the opening, closing or change in account details of any foreign bank account to the Russian tax authorities within one month of the opening, closing or change of such account. Russian residents are also required to report to the Russian tax authorities on or before June 1 of the following year (i) the beginning and ending balances in a foreign bank account each year and (ii) transactions related to such foreign account during the year. Foreign brokerage accounts and foreign accounts with other financial institutions (financial market organizations) must also be reported. Certain specific exemptions from reporting requirements may apply. Non-compliance with the reporting obligations could impact the Participant’s ability to vest, receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to the RSUs, maintain the account outside of Russia and participate in the Plan. The Participant should consult with his or her personal legal advisor to determine how these reporting requirements may apply to any account opened in connection with the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

This provision supplements the Data Privacy section in the Acknowledgment and Conditions section of the Award Agreement:

Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Corporation). Accordingly, the Participant should inform the Corporation if he or she is covered by these laws because the Participant should not in this case hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

This document may not be distributed in the Kingdom except to such persons as are permitted under the Rules on the Offer of Securities and Continuing Obligations issued by the Capital Market Authority.

The Capital Market Authority does not make any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of this document, and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss arising from, or incurred in reliance upon, any part of this document. Prospective purchasers of the securities offered hereby should conduct their own due diligence on the accuracy of the information relating to the securities. If the Participant does not understand the contents of this document, the Participant should consult an authorized financial adviser.

The Participant agrees that any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the RSUs will not be offered for sale in Singapore prior to the six-month anniversary of the Grant Date, unless such sale or offer is made pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”), or pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provisions of the SFA.

The grant of the RSUs is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the SFA under which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements and is not made with a view to the underlying shares of Common Stock being subsequently offered for sale to any other party. The Plan has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

If the Participant is a director, associate director or shadow director of the Corporation’s Singapore Affiliate, the Participant is subject to certain notification requirements under the Singapore Companies Act (Cap. 50, Rev Ed 2006). Among these requirements is an obligation to notify the Corporation’s Singapore Affiliate in writing when the Participant receives an interest (e.g., an Award or shares) in the Corporation or any Affiliate. In addition, the Participant must notify the Corporation’s Singapore Affiliate when he or she sells shares of the Corporation or of any Affiliate (including when the Participant sells shares issued upon vesting and settlement of the Award). These notifications must be made within two business days of (i) acquiring or disposing of any interest in the Corporation or any Affiliate, or (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g., upon vesting of the Award or when shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan are subsequently sold). In addition, a notification of the Participant’s interests in the Corporation or any Affiliate must be made within two business days of becoming a director, associate director or shadow director.

If the Participant permanently resides in the Slovak Republic and, apart from being employed, carries on business activities as an independent entrepreneur (in Slovakian, podnikatel), the Participant will be obligated to report his or her foreign assets (including any foreign securities) to the National Bank of Slovakia (provided that the value of the foreign assets exceeds an amount of €2,000,000). These reports must be submitted on a monthly basis by the 15th day of the respective calendar month, as well as on a quarterly basis by the 15th day of the calendar month following the respective calendar quarter, using notification form DEV (NBS) 1-12, which may be found at the National Bank of Slovakia’s website at www.nbs.sk.

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

To participate in the Plan, the Participant must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.

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.

In compliance with South African securities law, the Participant acknowledges that the documents listed below are available for review at the addresses listed below:

1)The Corporation's most recent annual financial statements: https://investor.kimberly-clark.com.

2)The Corporation's most recent Plan prospectus may be accessed online through Merrill Lynch, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Corporation in the future, at www.mybenefits.ml.com in the Document Library.

A copy of the above documents will be sent free of charge upon written request to Stock Plan Administrator, P.O. Box 619100, Dallas, Texas ###-###-####. In addition, the Participant should contact his or her tax advisor for specific information concerning his or her personal tax situation with regard to Plan participation.

No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the grant of the Award. The Award Agreement (including this Appendix A) has not been, nor will it be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and does not constitute a public offering prospectus.

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) due to death, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. Vesting will cease, for example, regardless of whether (1) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (2) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) the Participant terminates his or her employment or service relationship due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; and (4) the Participant terminates his or her employment or service relationship due to a unilateral breach of contract by the Corporation or an Affiliate. Consequently, upon termination of the Participant’s employment or service relationship for any of the above reasons, the Participant may automatically lose any rights to the RSUs that were not vested on the date of termination of the Participant’s employment or service relationship, as described in the Plan and the Award Agreement.

If the Participant holds 10% or more of the Corporation’s share capital, the Participant must declare the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of Common Stock to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”) of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.

In addition, the Participant may be required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of shares of Common Stock made to the Participant by the Corporation) depending on the value of such accounts and instruments and the amount of the transactions during the relevant year as of December 31 of the relevant year.

If the Participant holds rights or assets (e.g., shares of Common Stock or cash held in a bank or brokerage account) outside of Spain with a value in excess of €50,000 per type of right or asset (e.g., shares of Common Stock, cash, etc.) as of December 31 each year, the Participant is required to report certain information regarding such rights and assets on tax form 720.  After such rights and/or assets are initially reported, the reporting obligation will only apply for subsequent years if the value of any previously-reported rights or assets increases by more than €20,000 or if the ownership of the assets is transferred or relinquished during the year.  The reporting must be completed by the following March 31. 

Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Awards (i) constitutes a prospectus according to articles 35 et seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services (“FinSA”) (ii) may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than a participant or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss reviewing body according to article 51 FinSA or any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”).

The Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and understands the terms regarding collection, processing and transfer of data contained in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement and, by participating in the Plan the Participant agrees to such terms. In this regard, upon request of the Corporation or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide any executed data privacy consent form to the Employer or the Corporation (or any other agreements or consents that may be required by the Employer or the Corporation) that the Corporation and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws now or in the future. The Participant understands that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to execute any such consent or agreement.

The offer of participation in the Plan is available only for employees of the Corporation and its Affiliates. The offer of participation in the Plan is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.

Taiwanese residents may acquire and remit foreign currency (including proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of dividends) into and out of Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year. If the transaction amount is TWD500,000 or more in a single transaction, the Participant must submit a foreign exchange transaction form and also provide supporting documentation to the satisfaction of the remitting bank.

If the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock or the receipt of dividends paid on such shares are equal to or greater than US$1,000,000 in a single transaction, Thai residents must repatriate all cash proceeds to Thailand immediately following the receipt of the cash proceeds and then either convert such proceeds to Thai Baht or deposit the proceeds into a foreign currency account opened with a commercial bank in Thailand within 360 days of repatriation. In addition, Thai residents must specifically report the inward remittance to the Bank of Thailand on a foreign exchange transaction form.

Failure to comply with the above obligations may lead to penalties being assessed by the Bank of Thailand. Because exchange control regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant should consult with his or her legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock (or receiving any other funds in connection with the Plan) to ensure compliance with current regulations. It is the Participant’s responsibility to comply with exchange control laws in Thailand and neither the Corporation nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

Turkish residents are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in Turkey. Turkish residents must sell the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan outside of Turkey. The Shares are currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange in the U.S. under the ticker symbol “KMB” and shares of Common Stock may be sold on this exchange.

Under Turkish law, Turkish residents are permitted to purchase and sell securities or derivatives traded on exchanges abroad only through a financial intermediary licensed in Turkey.  Therefore, the Participant may be required to appoint a Turkish broker to assist him or her with the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.  The Participant should consult his or her personal legal advisor before selling any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan to confirm the applicability of this requirement to the Participant.

Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement, Awards granted to Participants in Ukraine do not provide any right for the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock and shall be paid only in cash through local payroll in an amount equal to the value of the shares at vesting less any Tax-Related Items. The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Awards vest and the time the cash payment is distributed to Participant through local payroll. The Corporation reserves the right to settle the Awards in shares of Common Stock to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any documents in connection with this statement, including the Plan and the Award Agreement, or any other incidental communication materials distributed in connection with the Award. Further, neither the Ministry of Economy nor the Dubai Department of Economic Development has approved this statement nor taken steps to verify the information set out in it, and has no responsibility for it. Residents of the United Arab Emirates who have any questions regarding the contents of the Plan and the Award Agreement should obtain independent professional advice.

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

Without limitation to the information regarding Tax-Related Items in the Award Agreement, the Participant agrees that he or she is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items, as and when requested by the Corporation or, if different, the Employer or by HM & Customs (“HMRC”) (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Corporation and/or the Employer for all Tax-Related Items that they are required to pay, or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC on the Participant’s behalf (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) and authorizes the Corporation and/or the Employer to recover such amounts by any of the means referred to in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an executive officer or director (as within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the Participant understands that he or she may not be able to indemnify the Corporation for the amount of any Tax-Related Items not collected from or paid by the Participant, if the indemnification could be considered a loan. In this case, the Tax-Related Items not collected or paid may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.

The Participant acknowledges that the Participant ultimately will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying to the Corporation or the Employer (as appropriate) the amount of any NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Corporation and/or the Employer may also recover from the Participant at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Acknowledgment of Conditions section of the Award Agreement.

There are no country-specific provisions.

Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement, Awards granted to Participants in Vietnam do not provide any right for the Participant to receive shares of Common Stock and shall be paid only in cash through local payroll in an amount equal to the value of the shares at vesting less any Tax-Related Items. The Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Awards vest and the time the cash payment is distributed to the Participant through local payroll. The Corporation reserves the right to settle the Awards in shares of Common Stock to the extent the Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.

Subject to Section 19(h), the length of the Participant’s non-competition obligations following termination of employment as set forth in Section 19(b) and/or Section 20(c) of this Award Agreement is based on the Participant’s Salary Grade as of the date of termination of employment:
