ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Under Article 12 of the 2000 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 executives 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 February 17, 2004 meeting, and was amended and restated by the Committee at its October 17, 2006 meeting, effective October 17, 2006, except that any changes related to the definitions of, and references to Fair Market Value and Market Value shall be effective January 1, 2006.
1.2 Purpose
This Administrative Guide governs the Committee’s grant of Awards under Article 12 of the Plan pursuant to a subprogram that is hereinafter referred to as the “Leadership Stock Program,” to be effective as of January 1, 2004, 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 through 55, 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

ARTICLE 6. ESTABLISING PERFORMANCE FACTORS
6.1 Performance Criteria
The Committee has selected Earnings per Share as the “ Performance Criteria ” for purposes of establishing the Performance Goal for the Performance Cycle.
6.2 Performance Goal
No later than its regularly scheduled meeting for the month of February in the first year of the Performance Cycle, the Committee shall establish the target amount of Earnings per Share for each of the two calendar years of the Performance Cycle that, when aggregated, will serve as the “ Performance Goal ” for purposes of assessing the Company’s performance during the entire Performance Cycle.
The Committee will also establish the minimum aggregate amount of Earnings per Share for the two calendar years of the Performance Cycle (the “ Minimum Performance Goal” ) that will serve as the minimum actual Earnings per Share for the entire Performance Cycle that will be necessary in order for any amount of an Award to be considered to have been earned by the Participants for the Performance Cycle.
The Committee will cause the Performance Goal and the Minimum Performance Goal to be documented in an Exhibit “B” to this Administrative Guide .
6.3 Performance Formula
The “ Performance Formula ,” which will determine the amount of an Award that will be considered to have been earned by a Participant, is as follows:
Award Earned = Target Award x Applicable Award Percentage
The Company’s actual Earnings per Share for the entire Performance Cycle in relation to the Performance Goal shall be used to determine the Applicable Award Percentage.
No later than its regularly scheduled meeting for the month of February in the first year of the Performance Cycle, the Committee shall establish the specific formula by which the Applicable Award Percentage will be determined.
