Penalty play explanation

in the first hand you have a flush penalty and a 9 penalty so you only keep the king

in the second hand you have a flush penalty but no 9 penalty so you can keep the king and the ten

rule: KT ( < K when both fp and 9p)

            I understand the ramifications of learning penalty plays...how they're not really cost effective... but given that,I have encountered one in 9/6 Jacks which I don't understand and am hoping someone can explain.

Given: Kc10c4c5h9h The correct option is to keep the Kc rather than the Kc10c.

Given: Kh10h6h2s3s The correct hold is Kh10h rather than just the Kh

My questions why hold the K alone in the first and yet the Kh10h in the second?

Would appreciate an explanation why

Thanks
