Administrative Guide for September 16, 2008 Grant under the

2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan

 

 

ARTICLE 1.     PURPOSE

 

1.1     Background

 

Under Article 10 (Restricted Stock Awards) of the 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation (the “Plan”), the Executive Compensation and Development Compensation Committee of Kodak’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) may, among other things, award Restricted Stock Unit Awards to those Participants as the Committee in its discretion may determine, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as it deems appropriate.

 

1.2     Purpose

 

The purpose of this Administrative Guide is to evidence the Committee’s September 16, 2008 grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards under Article 10 of the 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan.

 

1.3     Administration

 

This Administrative Guide will 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 this Administrative Guide, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, and to make all other determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of it.  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 this Administrative Guide will be final and binding for all purposes and upon all interested persons and their heirs, successors and personal representatives.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Committee shall not make any change to this Administrative Guide that would cause the Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted thereunder to violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or other official guidance issued thereunder.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company's Chief Human Resources Officer is authorized to round fractional shares arising in any way under this Administrative Guide either up or down with respect to any or all Participants, for ease of administration or some other reasonable purpose.

ARTICLE 2.     DEFINITIONS

 

Any defined term used in this Administrative Guide, other than those set forth in this Article 2 or defined within another Article of this Administrative Guide, will have the same meaning for purposes of this document as that ascribed to it under the terms of the Plan.

 

2.1     Approved Reason

 

“Approved Reason” means a reason for terminating employment which the CEO of Kodak determines, in his or her sole and absolute discretion, is in the best interests of the Company.

“Participant Account” means the account established by the Company for each Participant who is granted an Award under this Administrative Guide to record and account for the Units granted to him or her and any other Units that are to be credited to the Participant’s Participant Account pursuant to Article 7, until such time as the balance in the Participant Account is paid, canceled, forfeited or terminated as the case may be.

 

2.3     Unit

 

“Unit” means a bookkeeping entry used by the Company to record and account for the amount of the Award granted to a Participant and any dividend equivalents or stock dividends that are to be credited to the Participant’s Participant Account pursuant to Article 7 until such time as the balance in the Participant Account is paid, canceled, forfeited, or terminated, as the case may be.  Units are expressed in terms of one Unit being the equivalent of one share of Common Stock.

more onerous than those that would apply were the Award to be granted to a U.S. citizen residing in the United States, the CEO may, in the exercise of his sole discretion, either grant Awards in alternative form or forms or modify an Award to include additional or different terms or conditions; provided, however, that any modified or alternative form of Award shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and other official guidance issued thereunder.
