KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
AWARD AGREEMENT
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 2011 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) and the Award Agreement, including any country-specific terms and conditions contained in Appendix A to the Award Agreement.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the Plan to encourage those employees who materially contribute, by managerial, scientific or other innovative means, to the success of the Corporation or of an Affiliate, to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation, thereby increasing their motivation for and interest in the Corporation’s 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 Performance Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) at the target level of ______ (the “Target Level”), subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Plan, and the Corporation's attainment of the Performance Goals established by the Committee. The actual number of PRSUs earned by the Participant at the end of the Restricted Period may range from 0 to 200% of the Target Level.
2. Transferability Restrictions.
(a) Restricted Period. During the Restricted Period, the Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the Award, and any such attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or disposal shall be void. Except as provided under paragraph 2, the Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents, shall be subject to forfeiture until the end of the Restricted Period. The Participant becomes 100% vested in the number of PRSUs earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal at the end of the Restricted Period as approved and authorized by the Committee.
The Restricted Period shall begin on the date of the granting of this Award, and shall end on [Insert]. 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 PRSUs, 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 to vote such shares as the record owner thereof.
During each year in the Restricted Period, the Participant will not be paid dividend equivalents on the unvested PRSUs but the Participant will receive a credit equal to dividends declared on the Corporation’s Common Stock which will be reinvested in additional PRSUs at the then fair market value of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the date dividends are paid, and the additional PRSUs will be accumulated and paid if and when the PRSUs vest, based on the

actual number of PRSUs that vest. In the case of dividends paid in property other than cash, the amount of the dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of the payment of the dividend, as determined in good faith by the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any cash or other property of the Corporation.
(b) Termination of Employment. 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 PRSUs 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 (i) is due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, or (ii) if more than six months after the Grant Date, is due to death, Retirement, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred while a Participant is on military leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate under an applicable statute or by contract. For purposes of this subparagraph, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for the Corporation or an Affiliate. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence is substituted for such six-month period in determining whether a termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred. A termination of employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate to accept immediate reemployment with the Corporation or an Affiliate likewise shall not be deemed to be a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan. A Participant who is classified as an intermittent employee shall be deemed to have a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan.
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
Page 2 of 52

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 Awards 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 pro rata vesting in the number of PRSUs earned. This pro rata vesting shall be determined based on the Target Level of PRSUs (including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a)) (1) prorated for the number of full months of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, multiplied by (2) the Performance Goal percentage as approved and authorized by the Committee at the end of the Restricted Period. Any fractional share of the 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 Restricted Period 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"). 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) 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 20 of this Award Agreement), it shall result in 100% vesting in the number of PRSUs earned based on attainment of the Performance Goal at the end of the Restricted Period as approved and authorized by the Committee, and such Award shall be paid within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.
Notwithstanding this Section 2(c), if the Corporation receives an opinion of counsel that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable Retirement treatment that applies to the PRSUs under this Section 2(c) being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, then the Corporation will not apply the favorable Retirement treatment and PRSUs will be treated as they would under the rules that apply if the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate ends for any other reason, as applicable.
(d) Shutdown or Divestiture. In the event that more than six months after the Grant Date the Participant’s termination of employment is due to the shutdown or divestiture of the Corporation’s or its Affiliate’s business it shall result in pro rata vesting in the number of PRSUs earned. This pro rata vesting shall be determined based on the Target Level of PRSUs (including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a)) (1) prorated for the number of full years of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, multiplied by (2) the Performance Goal percentage as approved and authorized by the Committee at the end of the Restricted Period. Any fractional share of the 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 Restricted Period. For the purposes of this Award, a
Page 3 of 52

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, the Award which would have otherwise been forfeited will be handled consistent with subsection 14(b) of the Plan and shall be paid within 10 days following the last day of employment of the Participant with the Corporation or an Affiliate. 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. The payment of the Award, including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a), shall be made in shares of Common Stock. Except as may otherwise be provided in subparagraph 2(e), the payment of an Award shall be made within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.
(g) Payment of 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
Page 4 of 52

federal law, or if the consent or approval of any regulatory body shall be necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of the Award or the delivery of shares thereunder, such shares may not be delivered unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained. The Corporation agrees to use its best efforts to obtain any such requisite listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.
The Participant is solely responsible for obtaining/providing whatever exchange control approvals, permits, licenses, or notices, which may be necessary for the Participant to hold the Award, or to receive any payment of cash or shares or to hold or sell the shares subject to the Award, if any. Neither the Corporation nor its Affiliates will be responsible for obtaining any such approvals, licenses or permits, or for making any such notices, nor will the Corporation or its Affiliates be liable for any fines or penalties the Participant may incur for failure to obtain any required approvals, permits or licenses or to make any required notices.
5. No Right of Continued Employment. The granting of this Award does not confer upon the Participant any legal right to be continued in the employ of the Corporation or its Affiliates, and the Corporation and its Affiliates reserve the right to discharge the Participant whenever the interest of the Corporation or its Affiliates may so require without liability to the Corporation or its Affiliates, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or its Affiliates, or the Committee, except as to any rights which may be expressly conferred on the Participant under this Award.
6. Discretion of the Corporation, Board of Directors and the Committee. Any decision made or action taken by the Corporation or by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or by the Committee arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration, interpretation and effect of this Award shall be within the absolute discretion of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Committee, as the case may be, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons.
7. Inalienability of Benefits and Interest. This Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any such attempted action shall be void and no such benefit or interest shall be in any manner liable for or subject to debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of the Participant.
8. Delaware Law to Govern. The Plan is governed by and subject to the laws of the United States of America. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of this Award and any rights under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and federal courts located in the District of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for any dispute arising out of or related to the Award or the Award Agreement and the Participant consents to and waives any objection to the exercise of personal jurisdiction and venue by such courts.
9. Purchase of Common Stock. The Corporation and its Affiliates may, but shall not be required to, purchase shares of Common Stock of the Corporation for purposes of satisfying the requirements of this Award. The Corporation and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to retain and shall have the unlimited right to sell or otherwise deal with for their own account, any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation purchased for satisfying the requirements of this Award.

10. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Corporation under this Award, except as required under Section 19 below, shall be addressed to the Corporation in care of its Director of Compensation located at the World Headquarters, and any notice to be given to the Participant under the terms of this Award may be addressed to him or her at the address as it appears on the Corporation's records, or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as aforesaid, registered and deposited, postage and registry fee prepaid, in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government or any equivalent non-U.S. postal service.
11. Changes in Capitalization. In the event there are any changes in the Common Stock or the capitalization of the Corporation through a corporate transaction, such as any merger, any acquisition through the issuance of capital stock of the Corporation, any consolidation, any separation of the Corporation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock of the Corporation), any reorganization of the Corporation (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code), or any partial or complete liquidation by the Corporation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments and changes shall be made by the Committee in (a) the number of shares subject to this Award, and (b) such other provisions of this Award as may be necessary and equitable to carry out the foregoing purposes.
12. Effect on Other Plans. All benefits under this Award shall constitute special incentives and shall not affect the level of benefits provided to or received by the Participant (or the Participant's estate or beneficiaries) as part of any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or an Affiliate. This Award shall not be construed to affect in any way the Participant's rights and obligations under any other plan maintained by the Corporation or an Affiliate on behalf of employees.
13. Discretionary Nature of Award. The grant of an Award is a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Awards or benefits in lieu of Awards in the future. Future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the timing of any grant, the number of PRSUs and vesting provisions. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, holiday pay, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.
14. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby authorizes their actual employer (the “Employer”) to furnish the Corporation (and any agent of the Corporation administering the Plan or providing Plan recordkeeping services) with such information and data as it shall request in order to facilitate the grant of Awards and administration of the Plan and the Participant waives any data privacy rights such Participant might otherwise have with respect to such information. The Controller of personal data processing is Kimberly-Clark Corporation with registered offices at 351 Phelps Drive, Irving, Texas 75038, United States of America.
15. Conflict with Plan or other Documents. This Award is awarded pursuant to and subject to the Plan. This Agreement is intended to supplement and carry out the terms of the Plan. It is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan and, in the event of a conflict, the Plan shall prevail. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the terms of any notice,
Page 6 of 52

communication, plan summary, prospectus or other ancillary documentation relating to the Award, this Agreement will prevail.
16. Successors. This Award Agreement, including but not limited to the non-competition obligations described in Section 19 below, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Corporation.
17. Amendments. The Committee may at any time alter or amend this Award to the extent (1) permitted by law, (2) permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation is listed, and (3) permitted under applicable provisions of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including rule 16b-3 thereof).
18. Defined Terms. Terms which are capitalized are defined herein or in the Plan and have the same meaning set forth in the Plan, unless the context indicates otherwise.
19. Non-Competition Provisions For U.S. Participants Only.
(a) As the Award is intended to encourage the Participant to continue employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate, during which time the Participant will have access to the Corporation’s or Affiliate’s confidential information and trade secrets, including confidential information and trade secrets first developed after the Grant Date, 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, without the written consent of General Counsel of the Corporation or his/her designee, in any country or countries for which Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain or manufacturing oversight responsibilities during the last twelve (12) months of Participant’s employment, either directly or indirectly, perform duties or undertake responsibilities 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. As used herein, “Competitor” 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. As used herein, “Business of the Corporation” is the development, production, sales and/or marketing of (i) health and hygiene products; (ii) washroom and workplace protective and safety products; and (iii) the materials, packaging and other components/subcomponents of such products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s residence or principal place of employment on the Grant Date is in California or any other jurisdiction where any provision of this Section 19(a) prohibiting post-employment non-compete covenants is restricted by
applicable law, then the provisions of this Section 19(a) will not apply to the extent any such provision is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) During 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
Page 7 of 52

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 General Counsel, Attention: Non-Competition Agreement, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, 351 Phelps Drive, Irving, TX 75038. Provided, however, the foregoing notice requirement shall not apply if the Participant resides and/or primarily works in the State of California or any other jurisdiction where any provision of this Section 19(b) prohibiting post-employment non-compete covenants is restricted by applicable law.
(c) 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.
(d) 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.
(e) In the event of an anticipated or actual breach by the Participant of this provision, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that damages would not be an adequate remedy to compensate the Corporation for the harm to the business of the Corporation and, in such event, agrees that the Corporation shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and to temporary 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 permanent relief to which the Corporation may be entitled or the damages otherwise recoverable by the Corporation in any such event.
(f) If the Participant violates any aspect of this provision, 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.
20. Forfeiture and Recoupment.
(a) The PRSUs are subject to the compensation recovery provisions of the Plan. In addition, the PRSUs are subject to the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Compensation Recoupment Policy (such policy, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Recoupment Policy”) if the Participant is a Leader (as defined in the Recoupment Policy). Further, the PRSUs are subject to recoupment, as determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, if following a Participant’s Retirement, the Corporation discovers facts that such Participant’s employment could have been terminated for Cause. A recovery under this section may be made by (a) cancelling any PRSUs which have not yet vested or been settled; (b) recovering shares of Common Stock or cash equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock issued on
Page 8 of 52

settlement of the PRSUs, including shares resulting from dividend equivalents; (c) recovering proceeds realized by the Participant on the sale of such Common Stock; (d) withholding compensation otherwise due to the Participant; (e) payment by the Participant; and/or (e) by such other means determined appropriate under the terms of the Recoupment Policy. If the Participant is required to repay the Corporation, the Corporation is entitled to offset the payment in a way that is intended to avoid the application of penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.
Without limiting the foregoing, if, following a Participant’s Separation from Service for a reason other than the Participant’s termination for Cause, the Corporation discovers facts that such Participant’s Separation from Service could have been for Cause, such Participant’s Separation from Service will be deemed to have been for Cause for all purposes, and as a result, (a) the Employer will cease payment of any benefit otherwise payable to the Participant under the Plan and (b) the Participant will be required to repay to the Corporation all cash amounts received under the Plan that would not have been payable to such Participant had such Separation from Service been for Cause under Section 3.2(a) above.
(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 Corporation may seek recovery by any of the methods described in Section 20(a) or other such means determined appropriate under the terms of the Recoupment Policy.
21. Whistleblower Statutes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award Agreement, nothing in Sections 19 or 20 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.
22. 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 PRSUs 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.
23. Acceptance of Award Terms and Conditions. A Participant has until the end of the one hundred twenty (120) day period beginning from the Grant Date of this Award to accept this Award Agreement. If the Participant does not accept this Award Agreement on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period then the grant of the Award, as set forth in Section 1, shall not be binding on and shall be voidable by the Corporation, in which case it shall have no further force or effect.
Page 9 of 52

Acknowledgment of Conditions
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.
Page 10 of 52

The Award will be subject to any policy adopted by the Corporation relating to the recovery of such Award to the extent it is determined that the Performance Goals were not actually achieved.
No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from 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).
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 PRSUs or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the PRSUs 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 PRSUs, the vesting of PRSUs, the conversion of the PRSUs into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the 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.
Prior to 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
Page 11 of 52

(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.
(i)Data Collection and Usage. The Corporation collects, processes and uses the Participant’s personal data, including, name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Corporation, and details of all awards, canceled, vested, or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, which the Corporation receives from the Participant or the Participant’s Employer. If the Corporation offers the Participant the opportunity to participate in the Plan, then
Page 12 of 52

the Corporation will collect the Participant’s personal data for purposes of allocating stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Corporation’s legal basis for the processing of the Participant's personal data would be the Participant’s consent.
(ii)Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Corporation transfers participant data to Merrill Lynch, an independent service provider based in the United States, which assists the Corporation with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Corporation may select a different service provider and share the Participant’s data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Corporation’s service provider will open an account for the Participant. The Participant will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition for participation in the Plan.
(iii)International Data Transfers. The Corporation and its service providers are based in the United States. If the Participant is outside of the United States, the Participant should note that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States. The Corporation’s legal basis for the transfer of the Participant’s personal data is the Participant’s consent.
(iv)Data Retention. The Corporation will use the Participant’s personal data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and security laws. When the Corporation no longer needs the Participant’s personal data, the Corporation will remove it from its systems. If the Corporation keeps data longer, it would be to satisfy legal or regulatory obligations and the Corporation’s legal basis would be relevant laws or regulations.
(v)Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. The Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Participant’s grant of consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the Participant does not consent, or if he or she withdraws their consent, the Participant cannot participate in the Plan. This would not affect the Participant’s salary as an employee; the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.
(vi)Data Subject Rights. The Participant has a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her country. Depending on where the Participant is based, the Participant’s rights may include the right to (i) request access or copies of personal data the Corporation processes, (ii) rectification of incorrect data, (iii) deletion of data, (iv) restrictions on processing, (v) portability of data, (vi) to lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant’s country, and/or (vii) a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Participant’s personal data. To receive clarification regarding the Participant’s rights or to exercise the rights please contact the Corporation at Attn: Long-term Incentive Plan Administration at Kimberly Clark, 351 Phelps Drive Irving, TX 75038, USA.
Page 13 of 52

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, in their entirety and fully understands and accepts all provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including Appendix A.
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 Delaware Law to Govern; 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.
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.
Page 14 of 52

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 constitutes part of this Award Agreement.
For U.S. Participants only: the Participant acknowledges that the grant of an Award is expressly conditioned on the non-competition provisions set forth in Section 19.
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 agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or a third-party designated by the Corporation.
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., PRSUs), 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 and 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 participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker
Page 15 of 52

within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and that 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.
Conclusion and Acceptance
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 2011 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.

KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION
PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
AWARD AGREEMENT
APPENDIX A
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 December 2020. 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.
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (INCLUDING THE UNITED KINGDOM) AND SWITZERLAND
Data Protection
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:
(a)The Participant is hereby notified of the collection, use and transfer outside of the European Economic Area, as described in the Award Agreement, in electronic or other form, of his or her Personal Data (defined below) by and among, as applicable, the Corporation and certain of its Affiliates for the exclusive and legitimate purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
Page 17 of 52

(b)The Participant understands that the Corporation and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Corporation, details of all entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Personal Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
(c)The Participant understands that providing the Corporation with this Personal Data is necessary for the performance of the Award Agreement and that the Participant's refusal to provide the Personal Data would make it impossible for the Corporation to perform its contractual obligations and may affect the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan. The Participant's Personal Data shall be accessible within the Corporation only by the persons specifically charged with Personal Data processing operations and by the persons that need to access the Personal Data because of their duties and position in relation to the performance of the Award Agreement.
(d)The Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant may, at any time and without cost, contact Long-term Incentive Plan Administration at Kimberly Clark, 351 Phelps Drive Irving, TX 75038, USA to enforce his or her rights under the data protection laws in the Participant's country, which may include the right to (i) request access or copies of Personal Data subject to processing; (ii) request rectification of incorrect Personal Data; (iii) request deletion of Personal Data; (iv) request restriction on processing of Personal Data; (v) request portability of Personal Data; (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in the Participant's country; and/or (vii) request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Personal Data.
(e)The Corporation provides appropriate safeguards for protecting Personal Data that it receives in the U.S. through its adherence to data transfer agreements entered into between the Corporation and its Affiliates within the European Union.
(f)Further, the Participant understands that the Corporation will transfer Personal Data to Merrill Lynch and/or such other third parties as may be selected by the Corporation, which are assisting the Corporation with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Corporation may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Personal Data with such other provider(s) serving in a similar manner. The Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan.
(g)Merrill Lynch is based in the United States. The Participant's country or jurisdiction may have different data privacy laws and protections than the United States. Notwithstanding, by participating in the Plan, the Participant agrees to the transfer of his or her Personal Data to Merrill Lynch for the exclusive purpose of administering the Participant's participation in the Plan. The Corporation's legal basis, where required, for the transfer of Data to Merrill Lynch is the Participant's consent.
Page 18 of 52

(h)Finally, the Participant may choose to opt out of allowing the Corporation to share his or her Personal Data with Merrill Lynch and others as described above, although execution of such choice may mean the Corporation cannot grant awards under the Plan to the Participant. For questions about this choice or to make this choice, the Participant should contact Long-term Incentive Plan Administration at Kimberly Clark, 351 Phelps Drive Irving, TX 75038, USA.

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.

Acknowledgment of Conditions
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
Page 22 of 52

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 PRSUs, 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.
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 PRSUs. The PRSUs 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 following provisions apply if the Participant is a resident of Quebec:
Language Consent
The parties acknowledge that it is their express wish that the Award Agreement, as well as all documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant hereto or relating directly or indirectly hereto, be drawn up in English.

CHILE
Securities Law Information
The PRSUs 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.
La oferta privada de estos PRSUs se inicia y se acoge a las disposiciones de la norma de carácter general nº 336 de la Comisón para el Mercado Financiero (“CMF”).

Estos valores no podrán ser objeto de oferta pública en Chile mientras no sean inscritos en el registro de valores correspondiente.

Shutdown or Divestiture
The following provision replaces Section 2(d) of the Award Agreement.
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 determined based on the Target Level of Awards (including any accrued dividend equivalents accumulated pursuant to Section 2(a)) and by prorating the number of full years of employment during the Restricted Period prior to the Participant's termination of employment, and shall be paid within 70 days following the Participant's termination of employment. Any fractional share of the Corporation resulting from such a prorated Award shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

Except for a termination of employment due to 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, Retirement or Total and Permanent Disability.

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.

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 Awards or from any dividends or dividend equivalents paid on the shares of Common Stock.

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.

Securities Law Information
The Participant is being offered PRSUs 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.

SPAIN
Securities Law Information
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 this 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.
Labor Law Acknowledgment
By accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that he or she understands and agrees to participation in the Plan and that he or she has received a copy of the Plan.
The Participant understands that the Corporation has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Corporation or its Affiliates throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Corporation or any of its Affiliates on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that any grant is given on the assumption and condition that it shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Participant understands and freely accepts that there is no guarantee that any benefit whatsoever shall arise from any gratuitous and discretionary grant since the future value of the Award and the underlying shares is unknown and unpredictable. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant understands, acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the Award shall be null and void.
Further, the Participant understands that the Award is a conditional right. Participant shall forfeit any unvested Award upon termination of employment unless such termination is (i) due to a Qualified Termination of Employment, or (ii) if more than six months after the Grant Date, due to death, Total and Permanent Disability, or the shutdown or divestiture of a business unit. 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
Page 46 of 52

automatically lose any rights to the PRSUs 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.
Exchange Control Information
The acquisition, ownership and sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan must be declared to the Spanish Dirección General de Comercio e Inversiones (the “DGCI”), which is a department of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. The Participant must also declare ownership of any shares of Common Stock by filing a Form D-6 with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the shares of Common Stock are owned. In addition, the sale of shares of Common Stock must also be declared on Form D-6 filed with the DGCI in January, unless the sale proceeds exceed the applicable threshold (currently €1,502,530) (or the Participant holds 10% or more of the share capital of the Corporation or such other amount that would entitle the Participant to join the Corporation's Board of Directors), in which case, the filing is due within one month after the sale.
When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of shares of Common Stock (e.g., sale proceeds) exceeding €50,000, the Participant must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. The Participant will need to provide the institution with the following information: (i) the Participant’s name, address, and tax identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Corporation; (iii) the amount of the payment; the currency used; (iv) the country of origin; (v) the reasons for the payment; and (vi) further information that may be required.

If neither the total balances nor total transactions with non-residents during the relevant period exceed €50,000,000, a summarized form declaration may be used. More frequent reporting is required if such transaction value or account balance exceeds €100,000,000.
Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information
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.

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.
Securities Law Information
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.

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.

Exchange Control Information
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.

Tax Acknowledgment
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 Her Majesty’s Revenue & 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 to be 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.

Corporation’s or any Affiliate’s trade secrets or Confidential Information, nor use the same for any other purpose, other than to carry out the Participant’s functions as an employee. The Participant shall use all personal endeavours to prevent publication or disclosure of such trade secrets and Confidential Information. “Confidential Information,” for purposes of these covenants, means information in whatever form (including, without limitation, in written, oral, visual or electronic form or on any magnetic or optical disk or memory and wherever located) 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, 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 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 your employment, whether or not such information (if in anything other than oral form) is marked confidential.
2. During the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate, it is recognised that the Participant may have access to trade secrets and information of a highly confidential nature, including Confidential Information, disclosure of which after termination of employment could seriously harm the interests of the Corporation or any Affiliate. The Participant shall not at any time after termination of employment (otherwise than as required by law) divulge to any person any trade secret or Confidential Information which is the property of the Corporation or any Affiliate.
3. During the Participant’s employment by the Corporation or any Affiliate it is acknowledged that the Participant will acquire highly confidential information, including Confidential Information, and should the Participant’s employment with the Employer cease, it may be difficult to police clause 2 above, prohibiting the disclosure of such information. It is further acknowledged that it may be difficult to police the non-solicitation and dealing clauses set out below. For these reasons, the Participant shall not, for a period of 12 months (less any period spent on garden leave) be engaged by a Competitor, whether as an employee, director, consultant or advisor. “Competitor,” for purposes of these covenants, means any company carrying out Restricted Business within the United Kingdom so as to create competition with the Corporation or any Affiliate. “Restricted Business,” for purposes of these covenants, means any business activity carried out by the Participant either directly or indirectly for the Corporation or any Affiliate during the Relevant Period. “Relevant Period,” for purposes of these covenants, means the 12-month period ending with the termination date.
4. The Participant shall not during the period of 12 months after the termination date, either directly or indirectly, on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm or company, solicit or seek to conduct Restricted Business, or conduct Restricted Business, with any Restricted Customer or Prospective Customer. “Restricted Customer,” for purposes of these covenants, means any person, firm or company who was a customer or distributor of the Corporation or any Affiliate at any time during the Relevant Period and with whom the Participant had material dealings within the Relevant Period. “Prospective Customer,” for purposes of these covenants, means any person, firm or company with whom the Corporation or any Affiliate was involved in negotiations in the Relevant Period with a view to dealing with it as a customer, and with whom the Participant had contact within the Relevant Period.

5. The Participant shall not during the period of 12 months after the termination date directly or indirectly induce any person who was an employee of the Corporation or any Affiliate at the termination date and with whom the Participant had material dealings during the Relevant Period to leave the employment of the Corporation or any Affiliate.
6. In this Award Agreement, references to acting directly or indirectly include acting jointly with or through another person.
7. Each of the restrictions contained in this Award Agreement is intended to be separate and severable. In the event of any of the restrictions shall be held to be void, but would be valid if part of the wording was deleted, such restriction shall apply with such deletion as may be necessary to make it valid and effective.
