EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
Administrative Guide for the 2006-2007 Performance Cycle of the Leadership Stock Program under Article 7 (Performance Awards) of the 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan
ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Under Article 7 (Performance Awards) of the 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan (the “ Plan ”), the Executive Compensation and Development Committee of Kodak’s Board of Directors (the “ Committee ”) may, among other things, award the opportunity to earn shares of Common Stock to those Participants as the Committee in its discretion may determine, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as it deems appropriate. This Administrative Guide was originally adopted by the Committee at its March 27, 2006 meeting, and was amended and restated by the Committee at its October 17, 2006 meeting, effective January 1, 2006.
1.2 Purpose
This Administrative Guide governs the Committee’s grant of Awards under Article 7 of the Plan pursuant to a subprogram that is hereinafter referred to as the “Leadership Stock Program,” to be effective as of January 1, 2006, by which the Committee will award the opportunity to earn shares of Common Stock for the Cycle to (a) all executives employed by Kodak world-wide in wage grades 48 and higher, and (b) certain designated senior-level executives employed by Kodak Subsidiaries, with the objectives of improving the relationship between controllable performance and realized compensation and enhancing the focus on long-term operating goals. It is expected that improvement in these areas will have a corollary effect upon the price of the Common Stock.
In addition, this Administrative Guide is intended to establish those requirements necessary to ensure that the Cycle’s Awards will be treated as performance-based compensation for the purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. These requirements include establishment of the Cycle’s Performance Criteria, performance goals under the Performance Criteria and Performance Formula.
1.3 Administration
The Leadership Stock Program shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee is authorized to issue this Administrative Guide and to make changes in this Administrative Guide as it from time to time deems proper. The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe the

If there are any inconsistencies between the terms of this Administrative Guide and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Any determination by the Committee in carrying out, administering or construing the Leadership Stock Program will be final and binding for all purposes and upon all interested persons and their heirs, successors and personal representatives. The Committee is authorized to suspend or terminate the Leadership Stock Program, at any time, for any reason, with or without prior notice. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company's Director, Human Resources is authorized to round fractional shares arising in any way under the Plan either up or down with respect to any or all Participants, for ease of administration or some other reasonable purpose.
