1982 EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY

EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN


Preamble.

The 1982 Eastman Kodak Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement for eligible executives of Eastman Kodak Company and certain of its subsidiaries effective for compensation earned in 1982 and later years.  Under the Plan, each Eligible Employee is annually given an opportunity to elect to defer payment of part of his or her compensation earned during the year following his or her election.

This Plan is intended to satisfy Code section 409A with respect to benefits subject thereto, and the terms and conditions of this Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.  This Plan also provides for benefits not subject to Code section 409A by reason of having been earned and vested before January 1, 2005, and no amendment to this Plan that might constitute a “material modification” within the meaning of Code section 409A and the Treasury regulations thereunder shall apply to such benefits unless such amendment expressly provides for the loss of such benefits’ grandfathered status.

From January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008, this Plan was operated in good faith compliance with the requirements of Code section 409A, and the Treasury regulations and applicable guidance thereunder.  Any administrative practices and interpretations established in order to enable the Plan to operate in good-faith compliance but contrary to the terms of such Plan as then in effect are hereby expressly ratified.  Effective January 1, 2009, the terms and conditions of this amended and restated Plan have been adopted to reflect the final Treasury regulations under Code section 409A.

This Plan will be interpreted and administered in accordance with Eastman Kodak Company’s Policy Regarding Section 409A Compliance with respect to benefits subject to Code section 409A.

B.
any person is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Kodak representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of Kodak’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (the “Kodak Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (B) shall not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (i) by Kodak or any subsidiary, (ii) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Kodak or any subsidiary, or (iii) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities;

D.
the shareholders of Kodak approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of Kodak.

7.4           Dividend Equivalents in the Stock Account

Effective as of the payment date for each cash dividend on the Common Stock, additional units of Common Stock shall be credited to the Stock Account of each SOG Participant who had a balance in his or her Stock Account on the record date for such dividend.  The number of units that shall be credited to the Stock Account of such a SOG Participant shall be computed by multiplying the dollar value of the dividend paid upon a single share of Common Stock by the number
of units of Common Stock held in the SOG Participant's Stock Account on the record date for such dividend and dividing the product thereof by the Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date for such dividend.

7.5           Stock Dividends in the Stock Account

Effective as of the payment date for each stock dividend (as defined in Code section 305) on the Common Stock, additional units of Common Stock shall be credited to the Stock Account of each SOG Participant who had a balance in his or her Stock Account on the record date for such dividend.  The number of units that shall be credited to the Stock Account of such a SOG Participant shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock which the SOG Participant would have received as stock dividends had he or she been the owner on the record date for such stock dividend of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of units credited to his or her Stock Account on such record date.  To the extent the SOG Participant would have also received cash, in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, had he or she been the record owner of such shares for such stock dividend, then his or her Stock Account shall also be credited with that number of units, or fractions thereof, equal to such cash amount divided by the Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date for such dividend.

7.6           Recapitalization in the Stock Account

If Kodak undergoes a reorganization as defined in Code section 368(a), the Compensation Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, take whatever action it deems necessary, advisable or appropriate with respect to the Stock Accounts in order to reflect such transaction, including, but not limited to, adjusting the number of units credited to a SOG Participant's Stock Account.  Any action taken shall comply with Code section 409A.

13
 

complete distribution under Section 8.2 or liquidation under Section 7.8 of the Stock Account of a SOG Participant who has terminated his or her employment with the Company, the SOG Participant shall continue to be able to make elections pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3 and his or her Stock Account shall continue to be credited with additional units of Common Stock pursuant to Sections 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6.

The provisions of this Section 7.8 shall be applicable if on the second anniversary of the SOG Participant's retirement or, if earlier, Separation From Service with the Company, the SOG Participant has a balance remaining in his or her Stock Account.  In such case, effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following the date of such second anniversary, the entire balance of the SOG Participant's Stock Account shall automatically be transferred to his or her Deferred Compensation Account and, he or she shall thereafter be ineligible to transfer any amounts to his or her Stock Account.  For purposes of valuing the units of Common Stock subject to such a transfer, the method described in Section 7.3 shall be used.

The Chief Human Resources Officer and Senior Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company, shall designate the actual date by which payment is to be made within a year, provided that payment must in all cases be made no earlier than January 1st and no later than December 31st of the year in which payment becomes due.  However, if the Participant at the time of Separation from Service is subject to the six-month waiting period following separation from service that Kodak requires for certain executive employees as a result of Code section 409A and the selected payment date for the year in which payment is due is within the six-month waiting period, payment instead will be made as soon as practicable after the expiration of such period (and in any case within 90 days after such expiration).

8.4           Valuation

The amount of each payment shall be equal to the value, as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date, of the Participant's Accounts, divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid.  If payment of a Participant’s Accounts is determined by the Compensation Committee (with respect to Grandfathered Dollars) and/or required under a distribution election (with respect to benefits other than Grandfathered Dollars) to be paid in installments and the Participant has a balance in his or her Stock Account at the time of the payment of an installment, the amount that shall be distributed from his or her Stock Account shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the total amount of the installment determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence by the percentage obtained by dividing the balance in the Stock Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the total value of the Participant’s Accounts as of such date.  Similarly, in such case, the amount that shall be distributed from the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the total amount of the installment determined in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.4 by the percentage obtained by dividing the balance in the Deferred Compensation Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the total value of the Participant’s Accounts as of such date.  The calculations described in this Section shall be performed separately for the portion of Accounts attributable to Grandfathered Dollars and for the other portion of the Accounts.

8.5           Termination of Employment with Respect to Eastman Chemical Company Spin-Off

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Participants who ceased to be employed by Kodak or any Subsidiary of Kodak and were employed by Eastman Chemical Company or one of its subsidiaries in connection with the distribution of the common stock of Eastman Chemical Company to the shareholders of Kodak in 1994, were not considered to have terminated employment for purposes of this Plan.

8.6           Payment of Deferred Compensation After Death

If a Participant dies prior to complete payment of his or her Accounts, the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall become operative.

 
A.
Stock Account.  Effective as of the date of a SOG Participant's death, the entire balance of his or her Stock Account shall be transferred to his or her Deferred Compensation Account.  For purposes of valuing the units of Common Stock subject to such a transfer, the deceased SOG Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited with a dollar amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the number of units in the deceased SOG Participant's Stock Account at the time of his or her death by the Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of his or her death.  Thereafter, no amounts in the deceased SOG Participant's Deferred Compensation Account shall be eligible for transfer to the deceased SOG Participant's Stock Account by any person, including, but not by way of limitation, the deceased SOG Participant's beneficiary or legal representative.

 
B.
Distribution.  The balance of the Participant's Accounts, valued as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date payment is made, shall be paid in a single, lump-sum payment to: (1) the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary designated by the Participant on forms supplied by the Compensation Committee; or, in the absence of a valid designation of a beneficiary or contingent beneficiary, (2) the Participant's estate within 30 days after appointment of a legal representative of the deceased Participant.  In any event, payment will be made no later than the end of the taxable year of death (or, if later, the fifteenth day of the third month following the date of death).

8.7           Acceleration of Payment for Hardship

Upon written approval from Kodak's Chairman of the Board (the Compensation Committee, in the case of a request from the Chairman of the Board) a Participant, whether or not he or she is still employed by Kodak or any Subsidiary, may be permitted to receive all or part of his or her Accounts if the Chairman of the Board (or the Compensation Committee, when applicable) determines that an emergency event beyond the Participant's control exists which would cause such Participant severe financial hardship if the payment of his or her Accounts were not approved.  By way of clarification, regardless of whether a Participant’s Accounts consist of Grandfathered Dollars, benefits other than Grandfathered Dollars, or both, distribution shall be permitted only to the extent that the emergency event constitutes an “unforeseeable emergency” within the meaning of Code section 409A.  An “unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the Participant’s beneficiary or the Participant’s dependent(s) (as defined in Code section 152 without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B)) or loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant (as contemplated by Code section 409A and the Treasury regulations).

Any such distribution for hardship shall be limited to the amount needed to meet such emergency.  If such a distribution occurs while the Participant is employed by Kodak or any Subsidiary, any election to defer compensation for the year in which the Participant receives a hardship withdrawal shall be ineffective as to compensation earned for the pay period following the pay period during which the withdrawal is made and thereafter for the remainder of such year and shall be ineffective as to any wage dividend or any other compensation elected to be deferred for such year.

8.8           Accelerated Distribution

A.  
In General.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Participant may elect an Accelerated Distribution from the portion of his or her Deferred Compensation Account attributable to Grandfathered Dollars, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.8.

B.  
Accounts.  An Accelerated Distribution may only be made from a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, not from the Participant’s Stock Account.  Amounts in a Participant’s Accounts which are not attributable to Grandfathered Dollars cannot be distributed under this Section 8.8 under any circumstances.

C.  
Election Form.  The election to take an Accelerated Distribution will be made by filing a form provided by and filed with Kodak.

D.  
Time of Election.  To be processed in the same year in which an election is made, an Accelerated Distribution election must be  received by Kodak on or prior to November 30.  Elections made after this date will not be processed until the immediately following year.

 
19
 


E.  
Amount.  The amount of the Accelerated Distribution election will be not less than 25% of the portion of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account attributable to Grandfathered Dollars as of the date Kodak processes the Participant’s election.
 
F.  
Date of Distribution.  Subject to Section 8.8(D), the amount of theAccelerated Distribution will be paid in a single payment  within 30days of Kodak’s receipt of the election or as soon thereafter as is administratively possible.
 
G.  
Early Distribution Penalty.  All Accelerated Distributions will be subject to a 10% penalty.  Consequently, if a Participant requests an Accelerated Distribution of the entire amount of Grandfathered Dollars in his or her Deferred Compensation Account, 10% of the amount will be permanently forfeited and Kodak will have no obligation to either the Participant or his or her beneficiary with respect to such forfeited amount.  If a Participant receives an Accelerated Distribution of 25% or more of the Grandfathered Dollars in his or her Deferred Compensation Account, the Participant will forfeit 10% of the gross amount to be distributed from the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account and Kodak will have no obligatin to either the Participant or his or her beneficiary with respect to such forfeited amount.

H.  
Limit on Accelerated Distributions.  A Participant may not receive more than one Accelerated Distribution in any calendar year. 
 
I.  
Further Deferrals.  A Participant who receives an AcceleratedDistribution will not be eligible to make deferrals under the Plan forthe calendar year commencing after his or her receipt of theAccelerated Distribution.  The Participant may file a new election during the Enrollment Period for any subsequent calendar year, if the Participant is otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan.

 
J.  
Rules Adopted by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee will have the authority to adopt additional rules relating to Accelerated Distributions.  
 
K.  
Tax Withholding.  Accelerated Distribution payments will be paid subject to all withholding taxes required under applicable law.
