Exhibit (10.4)
1982 EASTMAN KODAK
COMPANY
EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION
PLAN
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.

person becoming a director subsequent to December 9, 1999, whose
election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at
least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board
(either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of
Kodak in which such person is named as a nominee for director,
without written objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent
Director; provided , however , that no individual
initially elected or nominated as a director of Kodak as a result
of an actual or threatened election contest (as described in Rule
14a-11 under the Act) (“Election Contest”) or any other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on
behalf of any “person” (as such term is defined in
Section 3(a)(9) of the Act) other than the Board (“Proxy
Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to

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;
|
|
|
|
the
consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange
or similar form of corporate transaction involving Kodak or any of
its subsidiaries that requires the approval of Kodak's
shareholders, whether for such transaction or the
|
|
|
issuance of
securities in the transaction (a “Reorganization”), or
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
Kodak’s assets to an entity that is not an affiliate of Kodak
(a “Sale”), unless immediately following such
Reorganization or Sale: (i) more than 60%
of the total voting power of (x) the corporation resulting from
such Reorganization or Sale (the “Surviving Company”),
or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly
or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of the voting
securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Company
(the “Parent Company”), is represented by Kodak Voting
Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such
Reorganization or Sale (or, if applicable, is represented by shares
into which such Kodak Voting Securities were converted pursuant to
such Reorganization or Sale), and such voting power among the
holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the
voting power of such Kodak Voting Securities among the holders
thereof immediately prior to the Reorganization or Sale, (ii) no

Company, the Surviving Company) following the consummation of the
Reorganization or Sale were Incumbent Directors at the time of the
Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement
providing for such Reorganization or Sale (any Reorganization or
Sale which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (i), (ii) and
(iii) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying
Transaction”); or
|
|
|
|
the
shareholders of Kodak approve a plan of complete liquidation or
dissolution of Kodak.
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur
solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more
than 25% of Kodak Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition
of Kodak Voting Securities by Kodak which reduces the number of
Kodak Voting Securities outstanding; provided that if
after such acquisition by Kodak such person becomes the beneficial
owner of additional Kodak Voting Securities that increases the
percentage of outstanding Kodak Voting Securities beneficially
owned by such person, a Change in Control shall then
occur.
With respect to
benefits other than Grandfathered Dollars, “Change in
Control” means an event that both satisfies the above
definition and qualifies as a “change in the ownership or
effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of the corporation” within
the meaning of Sections 1.409A-3(a)(5) and 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the
Treasury regulations. Solely for the purpose of
determining whether a “Change in Control” has occurred
in connection with the payment of benefits other than Grandfathered
Dollars, it is noted that the above definition of “Change in
Control” shall be interpreted to require that in the case of
director elections under A, the approval of the Incumbent Directors
must be given prior to their election, and references to a
“subsidiary” or “affiliate” of Kodak shall
mean an entity in which Kodak possesses a direct or indirect
ownership interest of 50% or more of the total combined voting

however, he or she is a full-time employee and provided further

Elections
An Eligible

with this Article 4 a deferred compensation form provided by
Kodak. An Eligible Employee may only make a deferral

the calendar year following the calendar year of the Accelerated
Distribution, in accordance with Section 8.8. Deferrals
by an otherwise-Eligible Employee who received a hardship
distribution under the Eastman Kodak Employees’ Savings and
Investment Plan or another 401(k) plan, or who received a
distribution due to an unforeseeable emergency under Section 8.7,
shall be restricted as required by the relevant 401(k) plan or
Section 8.7, as applicable. The Compensation Committee or its
designee may impose such restrictions or prohibitions on deferral
elections for subsequent calendar years as it deems
appropriate.
An Eligible
Employee who wishes to defer compensation under the Plan must
irrevocably elect to do so during the Enrollment Period immediately
preceding the calendar year for which such compensation is
earned. Elections made during the Enrollment Period
shall be effective the first day of the calendar year immediately
following the Enrollment Period. Elections shall be made
annually. An Employee who would qualify as an Eligible
Employee but who is hired after the close of the Enrollment Period
must wait until the next Enrollment Period to file an
election.
Deferral
elections made under this Plan with respect to any calendar year
will be final and, after the close of the Enrollment Period for
such calendar year, may not be revoked or amended in any
manner.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, deferrals under this Plan will be cancelled in the
event that a hardship distribution is made under the Eastman Kodak
Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan or another 401(k) plan
to the extent required by such plan, or in the event of a
distribution
due to an
unforeseeable emergency under Section 8.7.

5 Hypothetical

5.1 Deferred
Compensation Account
Amounts in a
Participant's Deferred Compensation Account are hypothetically

Amounts in a
SOG Participant's Stock Account are hypothetically invested in

Account are recorded as units of Common Stock, and fractions
thereof, with one unit equating to a single share of Common
Stock. Thus, the value of one unit shall be the Market
Value of a single share of Common Stock. The use of
units is merely a bookkeeping convenience; the units are not actual
shares of Common Stock. The Company will not reserve or
otherwise set aside any Common Stock for or to any Stock
Account.

Amounts to be
deferred by a Participant shall be credited to the Participant's
Account as follows:

Deferrable
Amount shall be credited each pay period on the date such amount is
otherwise payable;
