Second Supplemental Benefit Plan



 Exhibit No (10)i 
  
 SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN 
 TO THE 
 KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION 
 PENSION PLAN 
  
 Amended and Restated Effective as of December 31, 2005 
  

	1.	Use of Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in Section 6 below. 

  

	2.	Purpose. The Second Supplemental Benefit Plan is for the purpose of providing Participants and their Beneficiaries with such benefits, in addition to the Retirement Plan and
the Supplemental Plan, as are necessary to fulfill the intent of the Retirement Plan without regard to Section 415 of the Code or any dollar limit imposed by the Code on the amount of compensation considered under the Retirement Plan. It is
intended that the Second Supplemental Benefit Plan constitute an unfunded plan of deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Title I of ERISA. 

  

	3.	Benefit. The Benefit of a Participant or a Survivor under the Second Supplemental Benefit Plan shall be the difference between: 

  

	 	(a)	the monthly amount payable under the Retirement Plan, which monthly amount shall be calculated (i) without regard to Article XI of the Retirement Plan and (ii) using the
term Earnings defined as set forth in Section 6(f) of the Second Supplemental Benefit Plan below; less 

  

	 	(b)	the sum of (i) the monthly amount payable under the Retirement Plan and (ii) the monthly amount payable under the Supplemental Plan. 

  

	4.	Lump Sum Payments. 

  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Retirement Plan, a Participant (or surviving spouse or designated beneficiary, as the case may be) shall be entitled to elect to receive
his Grandfathered Benefit payable under Section 3 as a Lump Sum Payment (subject to any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld) under the following circumstances: 

  
 (i) The Participant (or surviving spouse or designated
beneficiary, as the case may be) has Timely Elected to receive such Lump Sum Payment; 
  
 (ii) the Corporation experiences a Change of Control; or 
  
 (iii) the Corporation’s long-term credit rating falls below Investment Grade.

	 	(b)	If a Participant (or surviving spouse or designated beneficiary, as the case may be) elects a Lump Sum Payment pursuant to subsection 4(a)(i) above, such election is subject to
approval by the Retirement Trust Committee in its sole discretion. In addition, the Lump Sum Payment shall be payable at the same time as the payments are eligible to commence under the Retirement Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	If a Participant (or surviving spouse or designated beneficiary, as the case may be) elects a Lump Sum Payment pursuant to subsections 4(a)(ii) or 4(a)(iii) above, the Lump Sum
Payment shall be reduced for active employee Participants by a penalty equal to ten percent (10%) of the Benefit otherwise payable and for a former employee, or a surviving spouse or designated beneficiary, by a penalty equal to five percent
(5%) of the Grandfathered Benefit otherwise payable. Such penalty shall be permanently forfeited and shall not be paid to or in respect of, the Participant or surviving spouse or designated beneficiary. In addition, such election must be made
within two years after a Change of Control or within 90 days after the date the Corporation’s long-term credit rating falls below Investment Grade. Such Lump Sum Payment shall be made within thirty days of the date of election.


  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, any portion of a Participant’s Benefit which is not a Grandfathered Benefit shall automatically be paid as a Lump Sum Payment.
Such payment shall be made following the date which is six months after the Participant’s separation from service (or, if earlier the date of death of the Participant). 

  

	 	(e)	If a Participant has received a Lump Sum Payment pursuant to this Section 4, such Participant may accrue an additional Benefit under this Plan after the date of such Lump Sum
Payment, provided, however, that such future participation shall not result in duplication of benefits. Accordingly, if he has received a distribution of a Benefit under the Plan by reason of prior participation, his Benefit shall be reduced by the
actuarial equivalent (at the date of the later distribution) of the present value of the Benefit previously paid hereunder. 

  

	 	(f)	 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Second Supplemental Benefit Plan to the contrary, (i) in the event that a portion of the Lump Sum Payment of a
Grandfathered Benefit due a Participant pursuant to this Section 4 would not be deductible by the Company pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company, at its discretion, may postpone payment of such amounts to the Participant until
such time that the payments would be deductible by the Company, (ii) in the event that a portion of the Lump Sum Payment of a Participant’s Benefit which is not a Grandfathered Benefit due a Participant pursuant to this Section 4
would not be deductible by the Company pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, the payment will be delayed where the Company reasonably anticipates that the Company’s deduction with respect to such payment otherwise would be limited or
eliminated by application of section

162(m); provided that the payment shall be made either at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment of
the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of section 162(m). Provided, however, that no payment postponed pursuant to this subsection 4(f) shall be postponed beyond the first anniversary of the date such Participant terminated
employment. Any Lump Sum Payment postponed pursuant to subsection 4(d) or 4(f) shall include interest for the period such Lump Sum Payment is postponed at a per annum rate equal to the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill secondary market rate as published
by the Federal Reserve Board for the calendar week ending prior to January 1 (for terminations of employment in either of the two subsequent fiscal quarters ending March 31 or June 30) or prior to July 1 (for terminations of
employment in either of the subsequent fiscal quarters ending on September 30 or December 31), or such other rate as determined pursuant to uniform Committee rules. 


  

	 	(g)	Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary, except where waived by the Participant’s spouse as required under the provisions of the Retirement Plan, all
Grandfathered Benefits payable to a Participant shall be paid in the same form as the benefits would be payable under the Retirement Plan. Provided, however, for each Participant whose employment terminates after February 18, 2002, if the
amount of the Lump Sum Distribution, calculated as if such Participant (or surviving spouse or designated beneficiary, as the case may be) had made an election to receive a Lump Sum Distribution at the earliest time that such person could have made
an election under subsection 4(a)(i), does not exceed $25,000, then such Lump Sum Distribution shall be paid at the earliest time such person could have made an election under subsection 4(a)(i). 

  

	5.	Amendment and Termination. The Corporation, by action of its Board of Directors, may amend the Second Supplemental Benefit Plan in any respect, or terminate the Second
Supplemental Benefit Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall be effective to the extent it eliminates or reduces any “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefit” or adds or modifies conditions relating to
“Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” the result of which is a further restriction on such benefit unless such protected benefits are preserved with respect to benefits accrued as of the later of the adoption date or effective date of the
amendment. “Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits” are benefits described in Section 411(d)(6)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, early retirement benefits and retirement-type subsidies, and optional forms of benefit.
