ARTICLE 1  --  PURPOSE, EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

1.1           Purpose

The purposes of the Plan are to provide an annual incentive to Key Employees of the Company to put forth maximum efforts toward the continued growth and success of the Company, to encourage such Key Employees to remain in the employ of the Company, to assist the Company in attracting and motivating new Key Employees on a competitive basis, and to endeavor to qualify the Awards granted to Covered Employees under the Plan as performance-based compensation as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code.  The Plan is intended to apply to Key Employees of the Company in the United States and throughout the world.

The Plan is intended to qualify for exemption from Section 409A of the Code, by reason of the short-term deferral rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations.  No person acquires a legally binding right to any Award hereunder until the year following the Performance Period, except Awards governed by Articles 11 and 12.  Awards governed by Articles 11 and 12 will be paid by March 15th of the year following the Performance Period in which the legally binding right to the Award arose.  Awards otherwise will be paid in the year following the Performance Period, unless deferred under a separate plan pursuant to Article 9.

1.2           Effective Date

The Plan, in its amended and restated form, will be effective as of January 1, 2009.

14
 

ARTICLE 6  --  SETTING PERFORMANCE GOALS AND PERFORMANCE FORMULA

Within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer, within the maximum period allowed pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall establish in writing:

 
(a)
the one or more Performance Goals for the Performance Period based upon the Performance Criteria;

 
(b)
the one or more Performance Formulas for the Performance Period; and

 
(c)
an objective means of allocating, on behalf of each Covered Employee, a portion of the Award Pool (not to exceed the amount set forth in Section 7.3(b)) to be granted, subject to the Committee’s exercise of Negative Discretion, for such Performance Period in the event the Performance Goals for such period are attained.


 
15
 

ARTICLE 7  --  AWARD DETERMINATION

7.1           Certification

 
(a)
In General.  As soon as practicable following the availability of performance results for the completed Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Company's performance in relation to the Performance Goals for that period and certify in writing whether the Performance Goals were satisfied.

 
(b)
Performance Goals Achieved.  If the Committee certifies that the Performance Goals for a Performance Period were satisfied, it shall determine the Awards for such Performance Period by following the procedure described in Section 7.2.   During the course of this procedure, the Committee shall certify in writing for the Performance Period the amount of: (i) the Award Pool; and (ii) the Award Pool to be allocated to each Covered Employee in accordance with Section 7.2(c).

 
(c)
Performance Goals Not Achieved.  In the event the Performance Goals for a Performance Period are not satisfied, the limitation contained in Section 7.3(c) shall apply to the Covered Employees.

7.2           Calculation of Awards

 
(a)
In General.  As detailed below in the succeeding provisions of this Section 7.2, the procedure for determining Awards for a Performance Period involves the following steps:

(1)           determining the Award Pool;
(2)           allocating the Award Pool to Covered Employees;
(3)           determining the Actual Award Pool; and
 
(4)
allocating the Actual Award Pool among individual Participants other than Covered Employees.

Upon completion of this process, any Awards earned for the Performance Period shall be paid in accordance with Article 8.

 
(b)
Determining Award Pool.  The Committee shall determine the Award Pool for the Performance Period by applying the Performance Formula for such Performance Period against the Performance Goals for the same Performance Period.

 
16
 


 
(c)
Allocating Award Pool to Covered Employees.  The Committee shall determine, by way of the objective means established pursuant to Article 6, the portion of the Award Pool that is to be allocated to each Covered Employee for the Performance
 
Period.  The Committee shall have no discretion to increase the amount of any Covered Employee’s Award as so determined, but may through Negative Discretion reduce the amount of or totally eliminate such Award if it determines, in its absolute and sole discretion, that such a reduction or elimination is appropriate.

 
(d)
Determining Actual Award Pool.  The Committee may use its discretion to adjust upward or downward the amount of the Award Pool for any Performance Period.  No such adjustment will, however, affect the amount of the Awards paid to the Covered Employees for the Performance Period.  To the extent the Committee determines to exercise discretion with regard to the Award Pool for a Performance Period, the amount remaining after such adjustment shall be the Actual Award Pool for the Performance Period.  Thus, if the Committee elects not to exercise discretion with respect to the Award Pool for a Performance Period, the amount of the Actual Award Pool for the Performance Period will equal the amount of the Award Pool for such period.  Examples of situations where the Committee may choose to exercise this discretion include unanticipated economic or market changes, extreme currency exchange effects, management or significant workforce issues, or dramatic shifts in customer satisfaction.

 
(e)
Allocating Actual Award Pool to Individual Participants Other Than Covered Employee.  Based on such factors, indicia, standards, goals, criteria and/or measures that the Committee shall determine, the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine for each Participant, other than those that are Covered Employees, the portion, if any, of the Actual Award Pool that will be awarded to such Participant for the Performance Period.  By way of illustration, and not by way of limitation, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, consider: (1) the Participant’s position and level of responsibility, individual merit, contribution to the success of the Company and Target Award; (2) the performance of the Company or the organizational unit of the Participant based upon attainment of financial and other performance criteria and goals; and (3) business unit, division or department achievements.

 
17
 


7.3
Limitations on Awards

The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall control over any Plan provision to the contrary.
 
(a)
Maximum Award Pool.  The total of all Awards granted for a Performance Period shall not exceed the amount of the Actual Award Pool for such Performance Period.
 
 
(b)
Maximum Award Payable to Covered Employees.  The maximum Award payable to any Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance Period shall be $5,000,000.

 
(c)
Attainment of Performance Goals.  The Performance Goals for a Performance Period must be achieved in order for a Covered Employee to receive an Award for such Performance Period.

At the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, elect to defer payment of all or any part of any Award which the Participant might earn with respect to a Performance Period and which is paid in cash by complying with such procedures as the Committee may prescribe.  Any Award, or portion thereof, upon which such an election is made shall be deferred into, and be subject to the terms, conditions and requirements of, the Eastman Kodak Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan, 1982 Eastman Kodak Company Executive Deferred Compensation Plan or such other applicable deferred compensation plan of the Company.

ARTICLE 11  --  CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

11.1        Background

Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.1, 4.4 and 13.9, the provisions of this Article 11 shall control over any contrary provision.  Upon a Change in Ownership: (a) the terms of this Article 11 shall immediately become operative, without further action or consent by any person or entity; (b) all terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations in effect on any unpaid and/or deferred Award shall immediately lapse as of the date of such event; and (c) no other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations shall be imposed upon any Awards on or after such date, and in no event shall an Award be forfeited on or after such date.  Nothing herein overrides the terms of any plan under which an Award was deferred pursuant to Article 9, and any such deferred Awards remain subject to the terms of such deferred compensation plan.

11.2        Payment of Awards

Upon a Change in Ownership, any Key Employee, whether or not he or she is still employed by the Company, shall be paid, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the Change in Ownership, the Awards set forth in (a) and (b) below:

 
(a)
All of the Key Employee’s unpaid Awards; and

 
(b)
A pro-rata Award for the Performance Period in which the Change in Ownership occurs.  The amount of the pro-rata Award shall be determined by multiplying the Target Award for such Performance Period for Participants in the same wage grade as the Key Employee by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months in the Performance Period prior to the date of the Change in Ownership and the denominator of which shall be the total number of full months in the Performance Period.  For purposes of this calculation, a partial month shall be treated as a full month to the extent 15 or more days in such month have elapsed.  To the extent Target Awards have not yet been established for the Performance Period, the Target Awards for the immediately preceding Performance Period shall be used.  The pro-rata Awards shall be paid to the Key Employee in the form of a lump-sum cash payment.

11.3        Miscellaneous

Upon a Change In Ownership, no action, including, but not by way of limitation, the amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan, shall be taken which would affect the rights of any Key Employee or the operation of the Plan with respect to any Award to which the Key Employee may have become entitled hereunder on or prior to the date of such action or as a result of such Change In Ownership.

ARTICLE 12  --  CHANGE IN CONTROL

12.1        Background

Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.1, 4.4 and 13.9, the provisions of this Article 12 shall control over any contrary provision.  All Key Employees shall be eligible for the treatment afforded by this Article 12 if their employment with the Company terminates within two years following a Change In Control, unless the termination is due to (a) death; (b) Disability; (c) Cause; (d) resignation other than (1) resignation from a declined reassignment to a job that is not reasonably equivalent in responsibility or compensation (as defined in Kodak’s Termination Allowance Plan), or that is not in the same geographic area (as defined in Kodak’s Termination Allowance Plan), or (2) resignation within thirty days of a reduction in base pay; or (e) Retirement.

12.2        Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions

If a Key Employee qualifies for treatment under Section 12.1, his or her Awards shall be treated in the manner described in Subsections 11.1(b) and (c).  Nothing herein overrides the terms of any plan under which an Award was deferred pursuant to Article 9, and any such deferred Awards remain subject to the terms of such deferred compensation plan.

12.3        Payment of Awards

If a Key Employee qualifies for treatment under Section 12.1, he or she shall be paid, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after his or her termination of employment, the Awards set forth in (a) and (b) below:

 
(a)
All of the Key Employee’s unpaid Awards; and

 
(b)
A pro-rata Award for the Performance Period in which his or her termination of employment occurs.  The amount of the pro-rata Award shall be determined by multiplying the Target Award for such Performance Period for Participants in the same wage grade as the Key Employee by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months in the Performance Period prior to the date of the Key Employee’s termination of employment and the denominator of which shall be the total number of full months in the Performance Period.  For purposes of this calculation, a partial month shall be treated as a full month to the extent 15 or more days in such month have elapsed.  To the extent Target Awards have not yet been established for the Performance Period, the Target Awards for the immediately preceding Performance Period shall be

used.  The pro-rata Awards shall be paid to the Key Employee in the form of a lump-sum cash payment.


Furthermore, during the two years following a Change in Control while these provisions remain in effect, Awards to any Key Employees who qualify for Awards (in accordance with the normal terms of the Plan or in accordance with this Article 12) will be paid no later than March 15th of the year following the Performance Period, in order to ensure that all Awards are paid within the short-term deferral period described in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations.

12.4        Miscellaneous

Upon a Change In Control, no action, including, but not by way of limitation, the amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan, shall be taken which would affect the rights of any Key Employee or the operation of the Plan with respect to any Award to which the Key Employee may have become entitled hereunder prior to the date of the Change In Control or to which he or she may become entitled as a result of such Change In Control.

ARTICLE 13  --  MISCELLANEOUS

13.1             Nonassignability

No Awards under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, transfer (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, nor shall any Award be payable to anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted.

13.2             Withholding Taxes

The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment.

13.3             Amendments to Awards

The Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any unearned, deferred or unpaid Award, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned but not yet paid, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided, however, that any such amendment which, in the opinion of the Committee, is adverse to the Participant shall require the Participant's consent.

13.4
No Right to Continued Employment or Grants

Participation in the Plan shall not give any Key Employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company.  Kodak or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary, reserves the right to terminate any Key Employee at any time.  Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Key Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award.

13.5             Amendment/Termination

The Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time with or without prior notice.  In addition, the Committee, or any person to whom the Committee has delegated the requisite authority, may, from time to time and with or without prior notice, amend the Plan in any manner, but may not without shareholder approval adopt any amendment which would require the vote of the shareholders of Kodak pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, but only insofar as such amendment affects Covered Employees.

 
26
 

13.6             Governing Law

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except as superseded by applicable Federal Law, without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

13.7
No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets

To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company and the Participant shall not have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company.  All of the Awards granted under the Plan shall be unfunded.

13.8             No Guarantee of Tax Consequences

No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, Kodak and its Subsidiaries and their directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, Federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to amounts deferred under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.

13.9             Compliance with Section 162(m)

If any provision of the Plan would cause the Awards granted to a Covered Employee not to constitute qualified Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, that provision, insofar as it pertains to the Covered Employee, shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of, this Plan, but the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

13.10           Exemption From Section 409A

The Plan is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed and administered accordingly.
