 [Reverse of Note] 
 KIMBERLY-CLARK CORPORATION 
 FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE JULY 30, 2010 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one
or more series under a First Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of March 1, 1988, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as
successor Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series
designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $450,000,000. 
 Interest on the Securities is payable quarterly on
January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year and on the maturity date (each, an “interest payment date”), commencing October 31, 2007, to the persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the
close of business on January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15, as applicable (in each case, whether or not a business day), immediately preceding the related interest payment date; provided, however, that interest payable on
any maturity date shall be payable to the person to whom the principal of the Securities is payable. Interest on the Securities will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. 
 Interest payable on any interest payment date or maturity date shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding
interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the Securities) to, but excluding, such interest
payment date or maturity date, as the case may be. If any interest payment date (other than the maturity date) would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, such interest payment date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that
is a business day, except that if such business day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, such interest payment date (other than the maturity date) shall be the immediately preceding business day. If the maturity date of the Securities
falls on a day that is not a business day, the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the immediately succeeding business day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so
payable for the period from and after such date to the immediately succeeding business day. 
 For purposes of the Securities, by
“business day” we mean a day which is not a day when banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed, and that is also a “London business day”, which is a day on which dealings
in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 
 The term “maturity,” when used with respect to the
Securities, means the date on which the principal of such the Securities or an installment of principal becomes due and payable as herein provided or as provided in the indenture, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration,
call for redemption, repayment or otherwise. 
 The Securities shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR (as defined
below) for the applicable interest reset period or initial interest period (each as defined below) plus 0.10% (10 basis points) and will be reset quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing
October 31, 2007 (each, an “interest reset date”). The interest rate for the initial interest period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of two London business days prior to the original issue 








 
date, plus 0.10% per annum. The “initial interest period” will be the period from and including the original issue date to but excluding the
initial interest reset date. Thereafter, each “interest reset period” will be the period from and including an interest reset date to but excluding the immediately succeeding interest reset date; provided that the final interest
reset period for the Securities will be the period from and including the interest reset date immediately preceding the maturity date of the Securities to but excluding the maturity date. 
 If any interest reset date would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, the interest reset date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding
day that is a business day, except that if that business day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest reset date shall be the immediately preceding business day. 
 The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if that day is an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the interest
determination date (as defined below) immediately preceding such interest reset date or (ii) if that day is not an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the interest determination date immediately preceding the most recent
interest reset date or the original issue date, as the case may be. 
 The interest rate applicable to each interest reset period commencing
on the related interest reset date, or the original issue date in the case of the initial interest period, will be the rate determined as of the applicable interest determination date. The “interest determination date” will be the second
London business day immediately preceding the original issue date, in the case of the initial interest reset period, or thereafter the applicable interest reset date. 
 The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., or its successor appointed by the Company, will act as calculation agent. Three-month LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent as of the applicable interest
determination date in accordance with the following provisions: 
  

	 	(i)	LIBOR is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the 3-month period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on
the applicable interest determination date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service
or such other service or services as may be created for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be
determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) below. 

  

	 	(ii)	 With respect to an interest determination date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest
determination date, the calculation agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) in the London interbank market selected by the calculation agent (after
consultation with the Company) to provide the calculation agent with a quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest
determination date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is
representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the calculation agent. If
fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such interest determination date by 











	 	 
three major banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in
U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest determination date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000
that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the calculation agent are not quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such interest
determination date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding interest determination date. 


 All percentages
resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Securities will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or
..09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. 
 Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Company and the trustee (if the calculation agent is not the trustee) of the interest rate for the new interest reset period. Upon request of a
holder of the Securities, the calculation agent will provide to such holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next interest reset period. 
 All calculations made by the calculation agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Securities shall be conclusive and binding on the holders
and the Company, absent manifest errors. 
 The Securities will not be redeemable. 
 The Securities will not be entitled to any sinking fund. 
 If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its
right to redeem this series of Securities, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of Securities to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option,
prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of an impending Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may
constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Securities on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice
shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. 

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the
extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Securities, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event
provisions of the Securities by virtue of such conflict. 







 On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

  

	 	•	 	 accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities (in integral multiples of $1,000) properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer;



  

	 	•	 	 deposit with the Trustee an amount equal to the aggregate repurchase price in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and



  

	 	•	 	 deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount
of Securities being purchased by the Company. 


 The Trustee will promptly mail to each Holder of Securities properly
tendered the repurchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities
surrendered; provided, that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 The Company will
not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the
Company and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. 
 “Below Investment Grade
Rating Event” means the Securities are rated below Investment Grade by each of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period
following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided that a
Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event
for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing
at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall
have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the
following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including,
without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
then outstanding number of shares of the Company’s Voting Stock; or 








 
(3) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors. 
 “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who (1) was a member of
such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of
Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director). 
 “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Ltd. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating
categories of S&P); and a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch); or the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the
Company. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc. 
 “Rating Agency” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate
the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under
the Exchange Act, selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc. 
 “Voting
Stock” means the Company’s capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such Person,
even if the right so to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and
their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 







 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness on this
Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security. 
 Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained for

Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 This Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this
Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form and notifies the Trustee thereof. If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form
in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, registered in such names as such Depositary shall direct, bearing interest at the same rate, having the same date of issuance, redemption provisions, Stated Maturity and other terms and
of differing denominations aggregating a like amount. 
 This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a
nominee of the Depositary, or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor. Except as provided above,
owners of beneficial interests in this global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except that in the event the Company deposits money or Government
Obligations as provided in Section 402 of the Indenture, such payments will be made only from proceeds of such money or Government Obligations. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the
Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 
 All capitalized terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
