Exhibit 10.3

W.W. GRAINGER, INC.
2015 Incentive Plan
Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

This Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of April 1, 2019 (the "Grant Date"), is entered into between W.W. Grainger, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the "Company"), and you as the executive (the "Executive"), who is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (the "Employer").

In consideration of the Executive's agreement to enter into an Unfair Competition Agreement with the Company concurrently with this Agreement on the Grant Date (the "Unfair Competition Agreement"), the Company desires to grant the Executive an award of performance restricted stock units (the "PRSUs"), providing for the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock ("Shares") pursuant to the W.W. Grainger, Inc. 2015 Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the "Plan") subject to the Company's attainment of certain long-term performance goals and the Executive agrees to enter into the Unfair Competition Agreement and accept such PRSUs on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Plan and the Unfair Competition Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in the Plan. 

In consideration of the mutual provisions set forth in this Agreement and in the Unfair Competition Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I
Grants
1.01    Grant.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and the Unfair Competition Agreement (the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference) and effective on the Grant Date, the Company hereby grants to the Executive the number of PRSUs (the "Target PRSUs") as specified in the April 1, 2019 award grant notice posted to the Executive's electronic investment account maintained with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, the brokerage firm/third party service provider engaged by the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan (the "Administrator").  Each PRSU represents a contractual right to receive one (1) Share upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The actual number of PRSUs that may become vested and settled pursuant to this Agreement will depend on the Company’s average return on invested capital ("ROIC") during the period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 (the "Measurement Period").  For this purpose, ROIC means the Company’s operating earnings divided by its net working assets, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The actual number of vested PRSUs will be determined in accordance with Section 2 below.
ARTICLE II
Provisions Relating to PRSUs

2.01    ROIC Target. The actual number of PRSUs subject to this Agreement shall be determined based upon the Company's achievement of the ROIC Target as follows (“Actual PRSUs”):

	
		
	If the Company's average ROIC
during the Measurement Period is:
	Actual PRSUs:

	Less than 18%
	0% of the Target PRSUs

	18% or more
	100% of the Target PRSUs

For purposes of the foregoing, the level of achievement of the ROIC Target shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion by calculating the Company's return on invested capital for each applicable fiscal year by dividing (i) the Company's operating earnings for the applicable fiscal year, by (ii) the Company's net working assets for the applicable fiscal year.  Further, the actual number of PRSUs subject to this Agreement based upon the Company's achievement of the ROIC Target shall be determined by applying straight-line interpolation rounded down to the nearest whole number of PRSUs. If the PRSUs vest, then in settlement of the PRSUs, the Executive will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of PRSUs determined under this Section 2.01, subject, however, to the withholding provisions below.  If the PRSUs do not vest, then they will be forfeited in full and the Executive shall have no further rights with respect to the award hereunder.

2.02    Vesting of PSUs.  If the Executive remains continuously employed by the Employer (or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate) through the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the "PRSUS Vesting Date"), the actual number of PRSUs as determined pursuant to Section 2.01 shall become fully vested on such date and the Executive shall be entitled to receive the underlying Shares as provided herein.  The PRSUs shall not vest before the PRSU Vesting Date unless otherwise provided or permitted by the Plan or this Agreement, and any PRSUs that do not vest shall be forfeited in full and the Executive shall have no further rights with respect to such PRSUs.  Each PRSU that becomes vested as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 2.06. No dividend equivalents will be paid on the shares of Common Stock underlying the PRSUs. 

2.03    Effect of Termination of Employment.  Except as otherwise stated in the Plan, if the Executive's employment or service is terminated prior to the PRSU Vesting Date for any reason whatsoever other than the Executive's death, Disability (defined below) or retirement, the PRSU shall be forfeited in their entirety.  If the Executive is a resident of, or employed in, the United States, "Termination Date" shall mean the effective date of termination of the Executive's employment.  If the Executive is a resident of, or employed outside of, the United States, "Termination Date" shall mean the earliest of (i) the date on which notice of termination is provided to the Executive, (ii) the last day of the Executive's active service with the Employer or (iii) the last day on which the Executive is an employee of the Employer, as determined in each case without including any required advanced notice period and irrespective of the status of the termination under local labor or employment laws.

2.04    Effect of Death, Disability or Retirement of the Executive. If the Executive’s employment or service is terminated prior to the PRSU Vesting Date due to death or Disability, the Executive will immediately become vested in the number of Actual PRSUs equal to 100% of the Target PRSUs. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall have the same meaning as defined in the Plan, subject to modification as may be required to conform to the laws, rules and regulations ("Laws") of the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). For the sake of clarity, the date of the Executive’s death or Disability shall be a PRSU Vesting Date. Each Actual PRSU that becomes vested as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 2.06.

2.05  Effect of Retirement of the Executive. If the Executive’s employment or service is terminated prior to the PRSU Vesting Date due to the retirement of the Executive, the Executive will continue vesting in accordance with Section 2.02 as if the Executive had not been terminated. Each Actual PRSU that becomes vested as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 2.06. For purposes of this Agreement, 

"retirement" shall mean the Executive’s termination of service with (i) 25 years of service, (ii) 20 years of service and attainment of age 55, or (iii) attainment of age 60. 

2.06 Settlement. Upon the PRSU Vesting Date, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days following the applicable PRSU Vesting Date), settle the PRSU by registering Shares in the Executive's name and delivering such Shares to the Executive's electronic stock plan account maintained by the Stock Plan Administrator.  At the discretion of the Committee, and subject to such policies and procedures as it may adopt from time to time, the Executive's PRSU may be settled in the form of: (i) cash, to the extent settlement in Shares (a) is prohibited under applicable Laws, (b) would require the Executive, the Company or the Employer to obtain the approval of any governmental and/or regulatory body in the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different), or (c) is administratively burdensome or (ii) Shares, but the Company may require the Executive to immediately sell such Shares if necessary to comply with applicable Laws (in which case, the Executive hereby expressly authorizes the Company to issue sales instructions in relation to such Shares on the Executive's behalf). 

ARTICLE III
Recoupment
3.01    Recoupment in Event of Misconduct.  If the Company determines that the Executive has committed or engaged in misconduct against the Company or has engaged in any criminal conduct, including embezzlement, fraud or theft, that involves or is related to the Company, or any other conduct that violates Company policy, causes or is discovered to have caused, any loss, damage, injury or other endangerment to the Company's property or reputation, and such Executive has received or is entitled to receive performance stock units, performance restricted stock units, stock options, restricted stock units or cash incentive compensation (collectively, "Incentive Compensation"), then the Company shall have the right to cancel the Incentive Compensation, require the return of Shares acquired under the Plan, recapture any gain realized upon the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan or take any other action it deems appropriate under the circumstances with respect to recouping the Incentive Compensation. The Company shall have sole discretion in determining whether the Executive's conduct was in compliance with applicable Law or Company policy and the extent to which the Company will seek recovery of the Incentive Compensation notwithstanding any other remedies available to the Company. If the Executive engages in misconduct or is believed to have engaged in misconduct, including but not limited to any violation of any of Executive's obligations under the Unfair Competition Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to take the actions outlined above for recouping the Incentive Compensation, as the Company deems appropriate under the circumstances.
3.02    Recoupment in Event of Materially Inaccurate Financial Results.  If the Company has publicly filed materially inaccurate financial results (the "Subject Financials"), whether or not they result in a restatement, the Company has the discretion to recover any Incentive Compensation that was paid or settled to the Executive during the period covered by the Subject Financials as set forth herein.  If the payment or settlement of Incentive Compensation would have been lower had the achievement of applicable financial performance goals been calculated based on restated financial results with respect to the Subject Financials, the Company may, if it determines it appropriate in its sole discretion, recover the portion of the paid or settled Incentive Compensation in excess of the payment or settlement that would have been made based on restated financial results.  The Company will not seek to recover Incentive Compensation received or settled more than three (3) years after the date of the initial filing that contained the Subject Financials.
3.03    Recoupment in Event of Error. If the Executive receives any amount in excess of what the Executive should have received under the terms of this Agreement for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a mistake in calculations or administrative error), all as determined by the Committee, then the Company shall have the right to cancel the Incentive Compensation, require the return of Shares acquired 

under the Plan, recapture any gain realized upon the sale of Shares acquired under the Plan or take any other action it deems appropriate under the circumstances with respect to recouping the Incentive Compensation.
3.04    Implementation.  For purposes of this Article III, the Executive expressly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on behalf of the Executive, to the Stock Plan Administrator (and/or any other brokerage firm/third party service provider engaged by the Company to hold Shares and other amounts acquired under the Plan) to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return to the Company any Incentive Compensation subject to recoupment hereunder. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company's rights hereunder shall not be affected in any way by any subsequent change in the Executive’s status, including retirement or termination of employment (including due to death or Disability). The Executive expressly agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and the Employer harmless from any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys' fees) that the Company or the Employer may incur as a result of the Executive’s actions or in the Company and the Employer’s efforts to recover such previously made payments or value pursuant to Article III.
3.05    Forfeiture.  To the extent any of the events set forth in this Article III occur before the Executive receives any Incentive Compensation due hereunder, any such Incentive Compensation shall be forfeited as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
3.06    Executive Consent.  For purposes of the Company’s enforcement of this Article III, the Executive expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Executive’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold any cash payments, Shares or other amounts acquired by the Executive under the Plan to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such cash payments, Shares or other amounts to the Company.

ARTICLE IV
Tax
4.01  Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Executive is and remains the Executive's responsibility and that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PRSU, including the grant of the PRSU, the vesting of the PRSU, the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to the PRSU and the receipt of any dividends and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PRSU to reduce or eliminate the Executive's liability for Tax-Related Items.
4.02    Tax Withholding Obligations. Prior to the delivery of Shares (or cash) upon the vesting of the PRSU, if the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company shall withhold a sufficient number of whole Shares otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the PRSU that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares or the cash equivalent.  Depending on the withholding method specified in the Plan, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Company shall make a cash payment to the Executive equal to the over-withheld amount, if applicable, as soon as administratively practicable.  The cash equivalent of the Shares withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items.  In the event that the withholding of Shares is prohibited under applicable Law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Company or the Employer, the Company and the Employer may withhold the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares in cash from the Executive's regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts 

payable to the Executive, or may require the Executive to personally make payment of the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld.  In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of Shares by the Company or through the withholding of cash from the Executive's regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to the Executive, no Shares will be issued to the Executive (or the Executive's estate) upon vesting of the PRSU unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee) have been made by the Executive with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such PRSUs.  If the obligation for the Executive's Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of Shares as described herein, the Executive shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares issuable upon vesting, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the vesting or any other aspect of the PRSU.
The Executive will pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Executive's participation in the Plan or the Executive's acquisition of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means described in this Article IV. The Company may refuse to deliver any Shares due upon vesting of the PRSU if the Executive fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described herein. If the Executive is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, the Executive acknowledges that the Company, the Employer or one or more of their respective Subsidiaries may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  The Executive hereby consents to any action reasonably taken by the Company and the Employer to meet his or her obligation for Tax-Related Items.  By accepting this grant of the PRSU, the Executive expressly consents to the withholding of Shares and/or withholding from the Executive's regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to the Executive as provided for hereunder.  All other Tax-Related Items related to the PRSU and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the Executive's sole responsibility.

ARTICLE V
International Arrangements
5.01  Exchange Controls. As a condition to this PRSU award, the Executive agrees to comply with any applicable foreign exchange Laws and hereby consents to any necessary, appropriate or advisable actions taken by the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries as may be required to comply with any applicable Laws of the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  
5.02    Foreign Asset and Account Reporting Requirements. The Executive acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements, which may affect the Executive's ability to acquire or hold Shares acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or dividend equivalent payments) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different). The Executive may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that it is his or her personal responsibility to be compliant with such Laws.
5.03    Country Specific Addendum.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the PRSU shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different) set forth in the addendum to this Agreement ("Addendum"). If the Executive transfers residence and/or employment to another country reflected in an Addendum at the time of transfer, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Executive to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such special terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local Laws or to facilitate the operation and administration 

of the PRSU and the Plan (or the Company may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Executive's transfer). In all circumstances, any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.
5.04    Controlling Language. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that it is the Executive's express intent that this Agreement, the Plan, the Unfair Competition Agreement and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted pursuant to the PRSU be drawn up in English.  If the Executive has received this Agreement, the Plan, the Unfair Competition Agreement or any other documents related to the PRSU translated into a language other than English and the meaning of any translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
6.01  Restriction on Transferability. Except to the extent expressly provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the PRSUs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated at any time other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to do so contrary to the provisions hereof shall be null and void.
6.02  Rights as Shareholder. The Executive shall not have voting or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares issuable upon the vesting of PRSUs until the date of issuance of such Shares.  Upon settlement of the PRSU, the Executive will obtain, with respect to the Shares received in such settlement, full voting and other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
6.03  Administration. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules.  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon the Executive, the Company, and all other Persons.  No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.
6.04  No Employment Rights. This Agreement and the Executive's participation in the Plan are not and shall not be interpreted to: (i) form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) confer upon the Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries; or (iii) interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the Executive's employment at any time.
6.05    Nature of Grant.  In accepting the grant hereunder, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) the Executive has read the Plan and any PRSUs granted under it shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, including but not limited to the power of the Committee to interpret and determine the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement and to make all determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, all of which interpretations and determinations shall be final and binding; (iii) the PRSU does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of PRSUs, benefits in lieu of PRSUs, or any other Plan benefits in the future; (iv) nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create or enlarge any other contractual obligations between the Company or the Employer and the Executive; (v) any grant under the Plan, including any grant of PRSUs, is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long service option, pension, or 

retirement benefits or similar payments; (vi) the Executive is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (vii) the future value of the Shares underlying the PRSU granted hereunder is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (viii) neither the Company, the Employer nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be liable for any change in value of the PRSU, the amount realized upon settlement of the PRSU or the amount realized upon a subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement of the PRSU, resulting from any fluctuation of the United States Dollar/local currency foreign exchange rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have the discretion to adjust the terms and conditions of any award of PRSUs to correct for any windfalls or shortfalls in such PRSU which, in the Committee's determination, arise from factors beyond the Executive's control; provided, however, that the Committee's authority with respect to any PRSU to a "covered employee," as defined in Section 162(m)(3) of the Code, shall be limited to decreasing, and not increasing, such PRSU.
6.06  Compliance with Law.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Shares pursuant to this Agreement pending compliance with all applicable Laws (including any registration requirements or tax withholding requirements) and compliance with the Laws and practices of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Shares are listed or quoted. If the Executive resides or is employed outside of the United States, the Executive agrees, as a condition of the grant of the PRSUs, to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends and any proceeds derived from the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the PRSUs) if required by and in accordance with local Laws in the Executive’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  In addition, the Executive also agrees to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Employer, as may be required to allow the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Employer to comply with local Laws in the Executive’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  Finally, the Executive agrees to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with the Executive’s personal legal and tax obligations under local Laws in the Executive’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
6.07  Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Agreement executed by (i) the Company and the Executive, (ii) the Company (at the discretion of the Committee), so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to the Executive, and provided that no such amendment having a material adverse affect on the rights of the Executive hereunder may be made without the Executive's written consent or (iii) the Company (at the discretion of the Committee) in any way it may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in applicable Laws or any future Laws or judicial decisions.
6.08  Notices.  Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of its Corporate Secretary.  Any notice to be given to the Executive shall be addressed to the Executive at the address listed in the Employer's records or to the Executive's electronic investment account held at the Stock Plan Administrator.  By a notice given pursuant to this Section 6.08, either party may designate a different address for notices.  Any notice shall have been deemed given when actually delivered.
6.09 Severability.  If all or any part of this Agreement or the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of this Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any provision of this Agreement (or part of such provision) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such provision (or part of such provision) to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

6.10  Construction. The PRSUs are being issued pursuant to Article 9 (Performance Shares/Performance Units) of the Plan.  PRSUs are subject to the terms of the Plan.  The Executive acknowledges receipt of the Plan booklet which contains the entire Plan, and the Executive represents and warrants that the Executive has read the Plan.  Additional copies of the Plan are available upon request during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Company.  To the extent that any provision of this Agreement violates or is inconsistent with an express provision of the Plan, the Plan provision shall govern and any inconsistent provision in this Agreement shall be of no force or effect. The words "including," "includes," or "include" are to be read as listing non-exclusive examples of the matters referred to, whether or not words such as "without limitation" or "but not limited to" are used in each instance.
6.11  Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.   EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PRSUs, THE PLAN OR THIS AGREEMENT.
6.12   Waiver; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  A waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Executive shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Executive. This Agreement shall not be construed to create any third party beneficiary rights.
6.13   Data Privacy.  The Company is located at 100 Grainger Parkway, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045, United States of America, and grants PRSUs under the Plan to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries in its sole discretion.  In conjunction with the Company's grant of the PRSUs under the Plan and its ongoing administration of such awards, the Company is providing the following information about its data collection, processing and transfer practices.  In accepting the grant of the PRSU, the Executive expressly and explicitly consents to the personal data activities as described herein.
i.Data Collection, Processing and Usage. The Company and the Employer will collect, process and use certain personal information about the Executive, specifically, the Executive’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number, passport number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all PRSUs or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Executive’s favor (“Data”), for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company's legal basis for the collection, processing and use of the Executive's Data is the Executive's consent.  The Executive's Data also may be disclosed to certain securities or other regulatory authorities where the Company’s securities are listed or traded or regulatory filings are made.  The Company's legal basis for such disclosure of the Executive's Data is to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
ii.Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company and the Employer transfer the Executive's Data to the Stock Plan Administrator based in the United States of America, which assists the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  In the future, the Company may select a different Stock Plan Administrator and share the Executive's Data with another company that serves in a similar manner.  The Stock Plan Administrator will open an account for the Executive to receive and trade Shares acquired under the Plan.  The Executive will be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the Stock Plan Administrator, which is a condition of the Executive's ability to participate in the Plan. 
iii.International Data Transfers. The Company and the Stock Plan Administrator are based in the United States of America.  The Executive should note that the Executive's country of residence may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States of America.  The Company's legal basis for the transfer of the Executive's Data to the United States of America is the Executive consent.
iv.Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent, Denial or Withdrawal.  The Executive's 

participation in the Plan and the Executive's grant of consent hereunder is purely voluntary.  The Executive may deny or withdraw his or her consent at any time.  If the Executive does not consent, or if the Executive later withdraws his or her consent, the Executive may be unable to participate in the Plan.  This would not affect the Executive's existing employment or salary; instead, the Executive merely may forfeit the opportunities associated with participation in the Plan.
v.Data Retention. The Executive understands that the Executive's Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Executive's PRSU and participation in the Plan. When the Company no longer needs the Data, the Company will remove it from its systems. 
vi.Data Subject Rights. The Executive understands that the Executive may have the right under applicable law to (i) access or copy the Executive's Data that the Company possesses, (ii) rectify incorrect Data concerning the Executive, (iii) delete the Executive's Data, (iv) restrict processing of the Executive's Data, (vi) lodge complaints with the competent supervisory authorities in the Executive’s country of residence. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Executive understands that the Executive can contact his or her local human resources representative.
6.14    Private Placement.  The grant of the PRSUs is not intended to be a public offering of securities in the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different).  The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filing with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local Laws).  
6.15    No Advice Regarding Grant.  The Company and the Employer are not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company or the Employer making any recommendations regarding the PRSU, the Executive's participation in the Plan or the Executive's acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.  The Executive is hereby advised to consult with the Executive's own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or the Agreement.    
6.16     Securities Law Restrictions.  The Executive acknowledges that, depending on the Executive's country of residence (and country of employment, if different) or where the Company Shares are listed, the Executive shall be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse Laws, which may affect the Executive's ability to acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of Shares, rights to Shares (e.g., PRSUs) or rights linked to the value of Shares during such times as the Executive is considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company or its business (as defined by the local Laws in the Executive's country of residence and/or employment).  Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Executive placed before the Executive possessed inside information.  Furthermore, the Executive could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party (other than on a "need to know" basis) and (ii) "tipping" third parties (including other employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries) or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.  Any restrictions under these Laws are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading or other policy. The Executive solely is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult with his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.
6.17    EU Age Discrimination Rules. If the Executive is a local national of and employed in the United Kingdom or a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the PRSUs and the terms and conditions governing the PRSUs are intended to comply with the age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as implemented into local law (the "Age Discrimination Rules").  To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local Laws.

6.18    Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the PRSUs granted to the Executive under the Plan by electronic means.

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 as set forth on Appendix A-1. 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 February 28, 2022.  Holders of Awards shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares 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.  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, 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, including any garden leave or similar leave, 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 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 within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.  In the event that more than six months after the Grant Date the Participant’s termination of employment is due to Retirement 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 within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period. 
(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, 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 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.  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.
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, 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, either in the United States of America or 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 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 employer; address of 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 not affected by the Participant’s belief that such employment may perhaps not violate this 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.
(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 revise or reform any aspect of this Section 19 so as to make the scope of such Section 19 as broad as can be enforced under applicable law. 
(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 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 Agreement, including but not limited to, all attorneys’ fees.
(g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no section of this Section 19 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.
20.    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.
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. 
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).
In the event of termination of the Participant’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws and except as otherwise explicitly provided in the Award Agreement or the Plan), the Participant’s right to receive PRSUs and vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award (including whether the Participant may still be considered employed while on a leave of absence). 
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

		
	(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

	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 problematic 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 minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in applicable jurisdictions, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the common stock equivalent.  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 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. 

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. 
Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, the Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A to this Award Agreement for the Participant's country.  Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix A, the special 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 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 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 one 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 January 2019.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, the Corporation strongly recommends that the Participant 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

Data Protection
For Participants resident in a country in the European Economic Area, 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.  
(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.    
(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.

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.  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:

The Participant's Employer, Corporation any other Affiliate to which the Participant provides service must be registered with SAFE prior to settlement of the PRSUs.

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.
Termination of Employment

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.  Therefore, by accepting the Awards, the Participant understands and agrees that the Corporation is authorized to, and may in its sole discretion, instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of shares of Common Stock (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) and that the Participant expressly authorizes the Corporation’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

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.  The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of the cash proceeds will be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Corporation or one of its Affiliates in China, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that the cash proceeds related to the Participant's participation in the Plan may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant.

NEW ZEALAND
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.
If the Corporation runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors and holders of preference shares (if any) have been paid.  The Participant may lose some or all of the Participant’s investment, if any.
New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest.  This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision.  The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme.  As a result, the Participant may not be given all the information usually required.  The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.  The Participant is advised to ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing.
The shares of Common Stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).  This means that if the Participant acquires shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Participant may be able to sell the shares of Common Stock on the NYSE if there are interested buyers.  The Participant may get less than the Participant invested.  The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.

For information on risk factors impacting the Corporation’s business that may affect the value of the shares pf Common Stock, the Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion on the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at www.sec.gov, as well as on the Corporation’s “Investor Relations” website at http://investor.kimberly-clark.com/index.cfm.

This Award Agreement, the Plan and all other materials the Participant may receive regarding participation in the Plan do not constitute advertising or an offering of securities in Russia.  Absent any requirement under local law, the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the Plan has not and will not be registered in Russia and hence the shares described in any Plan-related documents may not be offered or placed in public circulation in Russia. In no event will shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Plan be delivered to the Participant in Russia.

Further, the Participant understands and agrees that if the Participant does not complete and return a Consent form to the Corporation if requested, the Corporation will not be able to grant PRSUs to the Participant or other awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing to complete a Consent form or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.
Anti-Corruption Information
Anti-corruption laws prohibit certain public servants, their spouses and their dependent children from owning any foreign source financial instruments (e.g., shares of foreign companies such as the Corporation).  Accordingly, the Participant should inform the Corporation if he or she is covered by these laws because the Participant should not hold shares of common stock acquired under the Plan.

SINGAPORE

(“SFA”).
Securities Law Information
The grant of the PRSUs is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the SFA under which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements and is not made with a view to the underlying shares of Common Stock being subsequently offered for sale to any other party.  The Plan has not been and will not be lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Exchange Control Information
To participate in the Plan, the Participant must comply with exchange control regulations and rulings (the “Exchange Control Regulations”) in South Africa.  
Because the Exchange Control Regulations change frequently and without notice, the Participant understands that he or she should consult a legal advisor prior to the acquisition or sale of shares under the Plan to ensure compliance with current regulations.  The Participant understands that it is his or her responsibility to comply with South African exchange control laws, and neither the Corporation nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

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 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.
Spanish residents are required to declare electronically to the Bank of Spain any foreign accounts (including brokerage accounts held abroad), any foreign instruments (including any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan) and any transactions with non-Spanish residents (including any payments of shares of Common Stock made to the Participant by the Corporation or through a U.S. brokerage account) if the value of the transactions for all such accounts during the prior year or the balances in such accounts as of December 31 of the prior year exceeds €1,000,000.  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.  The reporting must be completed by the following March 31.
