announces the need for the applicable financial statements to be restated. The Board, or the Committee, will only seek to recoup Awards paid to Participants who are the Chief Executive Officer, Level 1 Executives, Level 2 Executives or Level 3
Executives, whose fraud or intentional misconduct was a significant contributing factor to the need for such restatement, as determined by the Board or the Committee, as applicable.

 Except as may be
specifically provided in an Award pursuant to Section 3(a), a Participant shall have no right to an Award under the Plan for any Year in which the Participant is not actively employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries on June 30 of such
Year. When establishing Awards each Year, the Committee may also provide that in the event a Participant is not employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date on which the Award is paid, the Participant may forfeit his or her right to the
Award paid under the Plan. 
  

	5.	Administration. 

 The Plan will be administered by
the Committee. The Committee will have the authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe rules relating to the Plan and to make all determinations necessary or advisable in administering the Plan. Decisions of the Committee with respect to the Plan
will be final and conclusive.

	7.	Amendment or Termination of the Plan. 

 The
Committee may from time to time suspend, revise, amend or terminate the Plan. 
  

	8.	Applicable Law. 

 To the extent not preempted by
federal law, the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the
substantive law of another jurisdiction. 
  

	9.	No Rights to Employment. 

 Nothing contained in the
Plan shall give any person the right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company reserves the right to terminate any Participant at any time for any reason notwithstanding the existence of the Plan.

  

	10.	No Assignment. 

 Except as otherwise required by
applicable law, any interest, benefit, payment, claim or right of any Participant under the Plan shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or hypothecated by any Participant and shall not be subject in any manner to any claims of
any creditor of any Participant or beneficiary, and any attempt to take any such action shall be null and void. During the lifetime of any Participant, payment of an Award shall only be made to such Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may establish such procedures as it deems necessary for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts would be payable in the event of any Participant’s death. 
  

	11.	Gender, Number and References. 

 Except where
otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. Any reference in the Plan to a Section of the Plan either in the
Plan or to an act or code or to any section thereof or rule or regulation thereunder shall be deemed to refer to such Section of the Plan, act, code, section, rule or regulation, as may be amended from time to time, or to any successor Section of
the Plan, act, code, section, rule or regulation.

 If any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Plan, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and all other applications thereof shall not in any

  

 4 

 
way be affected or impaired thereby. This Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision has never comprised a
part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. In lieu of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions there shall be added automatically as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms and economic effect to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid, legal and enforceable. 
  

	13.	Requirements of Law. 

 The issuance of cash under
the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 
  

	14.	Non-Exclusive Plan. 

 The adoption of the Plan by
the Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable. 
  

	15.	Section 409A Compliance. 

 To the extent
applicable, it is intended that this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations or other guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of
the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (“Section 409A”). Any provision that would cause the Plan or any Award granted hereunder to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with
Section 409A, which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A.

(in multiples of 10%) to be paid in Shares, deferred cash or Deferred Stock Units.

installments, as set forth in Section 6(c) herein. 

  

	 	(iv)	Each Participation Agreement shall also set forth whether Deferred Stock Unit Awards will be paid as a lump sum payment or in five annual installments, as set forth in
Section 6(c) herein. 

 (c) Payment of Shares and Crediting of Accounts.

his or her accrued Director’s Fees for the quarter, multiplied by the percentage of such Director’s Fees previously selected by the Participant to be applied to the purchase of Shares, and divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share as of
the last trading day in such calendar quarter. Cash shall be distributed in lieu of fractional Shares. 

  

	 	(ii)	A Participant who elects to receive all or a portion of his or her Director’s Fees as deferred cash shall have credited to his or her Account as of the last day of each
calendar quarter an amount determined by multiplying his or her accrued Director’s Fees for the quarter by the percentage of such Director’s Fees previously selected by the Participant to be received as deferred cash.

  

	 	(iii)	A Participant who elects to receive all or a portion of his or her Director’s Fees as Deferred Stock Units shall have credited to his or Account as of the last day of each
calendar quarter the number of Deferred Stock Units (including fractional Deferred Stock Units) determined by multiplying his or her accrued Director’s Fees for the quarter by the percentage of such Director’s Fees previously selected by
the Participant to be applied to the purchase of Deferred Stock Units, and dividing the product thereof by the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the last trading day in such calendar quarter. 

 (d) Modification or Revocation of Election by Participant. Elections made pursuant to paragraphs (b)(i) and (ii) of this Section 4 are

apply only to Director’s Fees earned in the next Plan Year beginning after the date of the new Participation Agreement. 
  

	5.	Maintenance and Investment of Accounts. 

 (a)
Accounts. A separate Account shall be maintained for each Participant. In addition, various subaccounts may be maintained for a Participant as necessary to reflect separate Participation Agreements, cash deferrals, and Deferred Stock Units. A
Participant’s Account shall be utilized solely as a device for measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid 

  

 6 

 
to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, and shall not constitute or be treated as a trust fund of any kind. The balance of a Participant’s Account
shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the value of the deemed investments thereof, adjustments, credits and debits pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, any Deferred Stock Unit Awards, and distributions pursuant to Section 6.

 (b) Deferred Stock Units. 
  

	 	(i)	Deemed Investment in Shares. The Account of a Participant who elects to receive Deferred Stock Units, as well as the Account of a Participant who receives Deferred Stock Unit
Awards, shall be treated as if it were invested in Deferred Stock Units equivalent in value to the Fair Market Value of Shares in accordance with the following rules: 

  

	 	a.	Deemed Reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents. The number of Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account shall be increased on each date on which a dividend
is paid on Shares. The number of additional Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account as a result of such increase shall be determined by (1) multiplying the total number of Deferred Stock Units (excluding fractional
Deferred Stock Units) credited to the Participant’s Account immediately before such increase by the amount of the dividend paid per Share on the dividend payment date, and (2) dividing the product so determined by the Fair Market Value of
a Share on the dividend payment date. 

  

	 	b.	Adjustments upon Change in Capitalization. In the event of any merger, reorganization consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, spin-off, stock
split, reverse stock split, share combination, share exchange, extraordinary dividend, or any change in the corporate structure affecting the Shares, the number of Deferred Stock Units credited to a Participant’s Account and/or the kind or
class of shares deliverable under the Plan shall be adjusted in such manner as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Board, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to
be made available under the Plan. The determination of the Board as to such adjustments, if any, to be made shall be conclusive and binding on all Participants and Beneficiaries. 

  

	 	(ii)	Hypothetical Nature of Investments. The Deferred Stock Units established hereunder shall be used solely to determine the amounts to be paid hereunder, shall not be or
represent an equity security of the Company, shall not be convertible into or otherwise entitle a Participant to acquire an equity security of the Company and shall not carry any voting rights. 

 (c) Cash Deferrals. Cash deferrals shall be credited with interest at an annual rate for each Plan Year equal to the Prime Lending Rate of Wells
Fargo Bank as in effect on January 1 of such year. Interest shall be accrued to the date of the actual payment and shall be compounded on a calendar quarter basis. 
  

 7 

	6.	Payments. 

 (a) Time of Payment. Payments to
a Participant with respect to the Participant’s Account, including any Deferred Stock Unit Awards credited to a Participant’s Account, shall begin as of the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date; provided, however, that if a
Participant dies before the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date, payment of the entire value of the Participant’s Account shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) below
after the Board receives all documents and other information that it requests in connection with the payment. 
 (b) Medium of
Payment. Except to the extent the Board determines otherwise, the portion of the Participant’s Account denominated in Deferred Stock Units shall be paid in Shares. One Share shall be paid for each whole Deferred Stock Unit contained
therein, and any fractional Deferred Stock Units shall be paid in cash. The portion of the Participant’s Account denominated in cash shall be paid in cash. 
 (c) Form of Payment. 
  

	 	(i)	Lump Sum. A Participant shall receive his or her Account under the Plan in the form of a lump sum payment unless the Participant has elected to receive any portion thereof in
five annual installments in accordance with subparagraph (ii). The lump sum shall be payable to the Participant in cash and/or Shares on the Payment Commencement Date. If the Participant dies before his or her Payment Commencement Date, a lump sum
payment shall be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary on the Payment Commencement Date. 

  

	 	 (ii)
	 Five Annual Installments. A Participant may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her Account under the
Plan in five annual installments. Such election must be made in the Participant’s Participation Agreement pursuant to Section 4. Annual installments shall be payable to the Participant in cash/and or Shares beginning as of the Payment
Commencement Date and continuing each Payment Anniversary Date thereafter until all installments have been paid. The first annual installment shall equal one-fifth (1/5th) of the value of the Participant’s Account(s), determined as of the Payment Commencement Date. Each successive annual installment shall equal the value of the Participant’s Account(s), determined as of
the Payment Anniversary Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the excess of five over the number of installment payments previously made (i.e., 1/4th in year 2, 1/3rd in year 3, etc.). If the Participant dies before the
Participant’s Payment Commencement Date having elected to receive benefits in five annual installments, or after the Participant’s Payment Commencement Date but before all five installments have been paid, the remaining installments shall
be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the schedule in this subparagraph (ii).

determined by the Board, payments under the Plan that are made in the form of Shares, in whole or in part, shall be made from the aggregate number of Shares authorized to be issued under and otherwise in accordance with the terms of The Clorox
Company 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (or any successor stock incentive plan approved by the stockholders of the Company). No Shares are reserved for issuance under the Plan. 
  

	8.	Change in Control. 

 Except as otherwise provided by
the Board, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the value of all amounts deferred by a Participant which have not yet been credited to the Participant’s Account and the value of such
Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant, in each case as a lump sum cash payment regardless of the Participants’ deferral elections set forth in the Participation Agreements. For purposes of payments under this
Section 8, the value of a Deferred Stock Unit shall be computed as the greater of (a) the Fair Market Value of a Share on or nearest the date on which the Change in Control is deemed to occur, or (b) the highest per share price for
Shares actually paid in connection with the Change in Control. 
  

	9.	Taxes. 

 The Company shall have the power and right
to deduct or withhold from all credits and payments under the Plan any applicable taxes that the Board reasonably determines to be required by law to be withheld from such credits and payments. 
  

	10.	Beneficiary Designation. 

 (a) Beneficiary
Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person, persons or entity as his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. A Beneficiary designation shall be made, and may be amended, by the Participant by filing a written
designation with the Board, on such form and in accordance with such procedures as the Board shall establish from time to time. 
 (b) No
Beneficiary Designation. If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s
estate. 
  

	11.	Amendment or Termination of the Plan. 

 The Board or
the Committee may at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Beneficiary
under the Plan unless consented to in writing by such Participant or, in the event the Participant is deceased, the Beneficiary.

	12.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Gender, Number and
References. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. Any reference in the Plan to a Section
of the Plan or to an act or code or to any section thereof or rule or regulation thereunder shall be deemed to refer to such Section of the Plan, act, code, section, rule or regulation, as may be amended from time to time, or to any successor
Section of the Plan, act, code, section, rule or regulation. 
 (b) No Assignment. Except as specifically set forth in the Plan
with respect to the designation of Beneficiaries and as otherwise required by applicable law, any interest, benefit, payment, claim or right of any Participant under the Plan shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or
hypothecated by any Participant and shall not be subject in any manner to any claims of any creditor of any Participant or Beneficiary, and any attempt to take any such action shall be null and void. 
 (c) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Plan, or any application thereof, shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and all other applications thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Plan shall be construed and enforced
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision has never comprised a part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or by
its severance herefrom. In lieu of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions there shall be added automatically as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms and economic effect to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may
be possible and be valid, legal and enforceable. 
 (d) Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding on
any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successors is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or other event, or a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company and references to the “Company” herein any in any Participation Agreements shall be deemed to refer to such successors. 
 (e) Requirements of Law. The payment of cash or Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. 
 (f) Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan benefiting persons who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
All payments pursuant to the Plan will be made from the general assets of the Company, and the rights of Participants and Beneficiaries under the Plan will be only those of general unsecured creditors of the Company. 
 (g) Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State of California, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

 (h) Non-Exclusive Plan. The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed as creating
any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable. 
 (i)
(i) Code Section 409A Compliance. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan and all deferrals and payments made hereunder comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Any provision that would cause the Plan or
any deferral or payment made hereunder to fail to satisfy Section 409A shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with Section 409A, which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A.
