to the terms of the Executive Officer Achievement Award Program.

Long-Term Incentives
You will be eligible for annual long-term incentive grants consistent with your

Signing Bonus
At our next regular grant date, currently scheduled on or around October 31,
2008, you will be granted $250,000 of economic value in the form of Restricted
Stock Units (“RSUs”). The RSU grant will vest 33% on the first, 33% on the
second and 34% on the third anniversaries of the grant date.  As a condition of
receiving these grants, you will be required to sign a Noncompetition and
Confidentiality Agreement.  A copy of this agreement is attached.

Benefits and Vacation
As an employee of Kimberly-Clark, you will be eligible for a benefits program
that includes medical, dental, life and accident insurance coverage along with
an incentive investment plan, paid vacation/holidays and various other
benefits.  You will be provided booklets explaining the terms and conditions of
these benefit plans.

You will receive four weeks of vacation beginning in 2008. Unused vacation,
granted on an exception basis, will be forfeited at the end of the year and not
paid out in cash.

Stock Ownership Guidelines
Kimberly-Clark has stock ownership guidelines requiring your position to
maintain ownership in Kimberly-Clark stock equal to three times base salary. You
are permitted five years to reach this goal. For purposes of determining your
ownership, time-vested restricted stock and any shares owned outright are
counted. If, at the end of the five years, you are not in compliance with
guidelines, your situation will be reviewed by the CEO. Non-compliance can
result in a decreased long-term incentive grant.

Conditions of this Offer
This offer is subject to the completion of the Preplacement Health History Form,
to ensure that you are physically capable of carrying out the essential duties
of your position.  If you choose to make us aware that you have a disability

disability could reasonably be accommodated in regard to those essential job
functions.

This offer is also subject to verification that you have the legal right to work

Because your position may involve access to confidential business information,
Kimberly-Clark will perform a pre-placement background investigation.  Our offer
of employment is contingent upon the results of this background
investigation.  United States Public Law 104-208 requires we advise you "that an
investigative consumer report including information as to...character, general
reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living" may be made.  Upon
written request, additional information as to the nature and scope of the report
will be provided.

Kimberly-Clark is a drug-free work environment.  As a result, an additional
condition of this offer is that you must pass a pre-employment urine drug
screening.  This drug screening must be completed within five days of
acceptance.

As usual, the employment relationship can be ended by you or Kimberly-Clark for
any reason upon appropriate notice.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (office: 972-281-1404,
