                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                  EASTMAN EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

         PREAMBLE. The Amended and Restated Eastman Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement
for eligible employees of Eastman Chemical Company ("the Company") and certain
of its subsidiaries. Under the Plan, each Eligible Employee is annually given an
opportunity to defer payment of part of his or her cash compensation.

In addition, this document reflects the merger into this Plan of an unfunded,
non-qualified deferred compensation plan known as the Eastman ESOP Excess Plan
(the "ESOP Excess Plan"), which restores to eligible employees allocations that
cannot be made under the Eastman Employee Stock Ownership Plan because of the
limitations of Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Such merger occurred as of October 1, 2001, and following such merger,
the amounts credited to the Participant's Account under the ESOP Excess Plan
shall be treated as a separate account (the ESOP Account) until January 1, 2003,
at which time such accounts shall be merged into the Participant's EDCP Account
hereunder. In addition, future ESOP allocations, if any, that would have been
made under the ESOP Excess Plan shall, after October 1, 2001, be made to the
Participant's EDCP Account under Section 2.2 of this Plan.

This Plan originally was adopted effective January 1, 1994, and is now amended
and restated effective as of August 1, 2002.

SECTION 1.  DEFINITIONS.

         SECTION  1.1. "Account" means the EDCP Account and the ESOP Account.
Each such Account is further sub-divided into an Interest Account and a Stock
Account. Effective as of January 1, 2003, each Participant's ESOP Account will
be merged into such Participant's EDCP Account.

         SECTION 1.2.  "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

         SECTION 1.3.  "Change In Control" means a change in control of the
Company of a nature that would be required to be reported (assuming such event
has not been "previously reported") in response to Item 1 (a) of a Current
Report on Form 8-K, as in effect on August 1, 1993, pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that, without limitation, a Change In
Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) any "person" within
the meaning of Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company, a
subsidiary of the Company, or any employee benefit plan(s) sponsored by the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company, is or has become the "beneficial
owner," as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly,
of 25% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the
Company ordinarily having the right to vote at the election of directors;
provided, however, that the following will not constitute a Change In Control:
any acquisition by any corporation if, immediately following such acquisition,
more than 75% of the outstanding securities of the acquiring corporation
ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors is beneficially
owned by all or substantially all of those persons who, immediately prior to
such acquisition, were the beneficial owners of the outstanding securities of
the Company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, or
(ii) individuals who constitute the Board on January 1, 1994 (the "Incumbent
Board") have ceased for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof,


                                      157
<PAGE>
provided that: any person becoming a director subsequent to January 1, 1994
whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, was
approved by a vote of at least three-quarters (3/4) of the directors comprising
the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy
statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for
director without objection to such nomination) shall be, for purposes of the
Plan, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board,
(iii) upon approval by the Company's stockholders of a reorganization, merger
or consolidation, other than one with respect to which all or substantially all
of those persons who were the beneficial owners, immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger or consolidation, of outstanding securities of the
Company ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors own,
immediately after such transaction, more than 75% of the outstanding securities
of the resulting corporation ordinarily having the right to vote in the
election of directors; or (iv) upon approval by the Company's stockholders of a
complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company or the sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than
to a subsidiary of the Company. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the
foregoing, the Compensation Committee may determine, if it deems it to be in
the best interest of the Company, that an event or events otherwise
constituting a Change In Control shall not be so considered. Such determination
shall be effective only if it is made by the Compensation Committee prior to
the occurrence of an event that otherwise would be or probably will lead to a
Change In Control or after such event if made by the Compensation Committee a
majority of which is composed of directors who were members of the Board
immediately prior to the event that otherwise would be or probably will lead to
a Change In Control.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.2.  For any Plan Year in which an Eligible Employee has
Excess Compensation, then at such time, if any, as the Company makes a
contribution to the ESOP with respect to such Plan Year, the Company shall
credit to the Eligible Employee's Stock Account within his EDCP Account under
this Plan, an amount equal to the product of (1) the amount of such Eligible
Employee's Excess Compensation multiplied by (2) the ESOP Payout Percentage.

SECTION 3.  TIME OF ELECTION OF DEFERRAL. An Eligible Employee who wishes to
defer compensation must irrevocably elect to do so during the applicable
Enrollment Period. The Enrollment Period shall end prior to the first day of the
calendar year in which the applicable Deferrable Amount will first be paid,
earned, or awarded. Elections shall be made annually.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the first year in which a person becomes
an Eligible Employee by reason of being employed by the Company, the eligible
Employee may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of his or her
Deferrable Amount earned for services to be performed subsequent to such
election, provided that such election is made no later than the end of the
Initial Enrollment Period; (ii) in the first year in which a person becomes an
Eligible Employee through an acquisition by the Company of such person's
previous employer, the eligible Employee may elect to defer receipt of all or
any portion of his or her signing bonus and/or retention bonus, provided that
(x) the deferred amount represents compensation for services to be performed
subsequent to such election, and (y) such election is made no later than the end
of the Initial Enrollment Period; (iii) if and to the extent the Vice President,
Human Resources or the Compensation Committee approves the deferral of Severance
Pay pursuant to Section 1.7, such approval shall set forth the terms of the
deferral of such Severance Pay; (iv) the initial election for deferral of a cash
award under the Company's Employee/Team Recognition Program or the Chairman &
CEO's Award Program shall be made no later than August 31, 2002.

SECTION 4.  HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENTS.

         SECTION 4. 1.  INTEREST ACCOUNTS. Amounts in a Participant's Interest
Accounts are hypothetically invested in an interest bearing account which bears
interest computed at the Interest Rate, compounded monthly.

         SECTION 4.2.  STOCK ACCOUNTS. Amounts in a Participant's Stock Accounts
are hypothetically invested in units of Common Stock. Amounts deferred into
Stock Accounts 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.


                                      161
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.  DEFERRALS AND CREDITING AMOUNTS TO ACCOUNTS.

         SECTION 5.1.  Manner of Electing Deferral. An Eligible Employee may
elect to defer compensation by executing and returning to the Compensation
Committee a deferred compensation form provided by the Company. The form shall
indicate (i) the amount and sources of Deferrable Amount to be deferred; (ii)
whether deferral of annual base cash compensation is to be at the same rate
throughout the year, or at one rate for part of the year and at a second rate
for the remainder of the year; and (iii) the portion of the deferral to be
credited to the Participant's Interest Account and Stock Account respectively.
An election to defer compensation shall be irrevocable following the end of the
applicable Enrollment Period, but the portion of the deferral to be credited to
the Participant's Interest Account and Stock Account, respectively, may be
reallocated by the Participant in the manner specified by the Compensation
Committee or its authorized designee through and including the business day
immediately preceding the date on which the deferred amount is credited to the
Participant's Accounts pursuant to Section 5.2.

         SECTION 5.2.  Crediting of Amounts to Accounts. Except as otherwise
provided in this Section with respect to Section 16 Insiders, amounts to be
deferred shall be credited to the Participant's Interest Account and/or Stock
Account, as applicable, within the EDCP Account as of the date such amounts are
otherwise payable. An ESOP allocation which is made pursuant to Section 2.2
shall be credited to the Participant's Stock Account within the EDCP Account as
of the date the Company makes the contribution to the ESOP which triggers the
ESOP allocation under this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Section
16 Insider, each and every Deferrable Amount, when initially credited to the
Participant's EDCP Account, shall be held in a Participant's Interest Account
until the next date that dividends are paid on Common Stock (see Section 7.6 of
the Plan), and on such date the Deferrable Amount that would have been initially
credited to the Participant's Stock Account but for this sentence shall be
transferred, together with allocable interest thereon, to the Participant's
Stock Account, provided that such transfer shall be subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 7.2.

         SECTION 5.3.  Transfers of Obligations from other Deferred Compensation
Plans. The Compensation Committee hereby delegates to the Company's Vice
President, Human Resources, the authority to permit from time to time the
transfer to the EDCP Account under this Plan from other non-qualified deferred
compensation plans or arrangements maintained by the Company or its affiliates,
any amounts accrued to an Eligible Employee under such other plan or
arrangement. In each case, before permitting such transfer the Company's Vice
President, Human Resources shall determine that such transfer is in the best
interests of the Company, and shall further determine that such transfer to this
Plan is permitted under the terms of such other plan or arrangement.

SECTION 6.  DEFERRAL PERIOD. Subject to Sections 9, 10, and 19 hereof, the
amounts credited to a Participant's Accounts and earnings thereon will be
deferred until the Participant retires or otherwise terminates employment with
the Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries. Any such election shall be made
during the applicable Enrollment Period on the deferred compensation form
referenced in Section 5 above. The payment of a Participant's Account shall be
governed by Sections 8, 9, 10, and 19, as applicable.


                                      162
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fixed date election made by an Eligible
Employee under the Kodak Executive Deferred Compensation Plan shall remain in
force under this Plan, provided he or she continues as an employee of the
Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries during the period of deferral. Payment
of such amount pursuant to a deferral election made under such Kodak Plan shall
be made in cash in a single lump sum on the fifth business day in March in the
year following the termination of such deferral period, and the amount of the
lump sum due the Participant shall be valued as of the last Valuation Date in
February in the year following the termination of the deferral period. If such
Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its U.S.
Subsidiaries prior to the end of the fixed period, Section 8 shall govern the
payment of his or her Accounts.

SECTION 7.  INVESTMENT IN THE STOCK ACCOUNT AND TRANSFERS BETWEEN ACCOUNTS.

         SECTION 7.1.  Election Into the Stock Account. Amounts to be credited
to a Participant's Stock Account, whether by reason of a deferral election by
the Participant or an ESOP allocation by the Company, shall be credited, as of
the date described in Section 5.2, with that number of units of Common Stock,
and fractions thereof, obtained by dividing the dollar amount to be credited
into the respective Stock Account by the Market Value of the Common Stock as of
such date.

         SECTION 7.2.  Transfers Between Accounts. Except as otherwise provided
in this Section, a Participant may direct that all or any portion, designated as
a whole dollar amount, of the existing balance of his or her Interest or Stock
Account be transferred to the other Account, effective as of (i) the date such
election is made, if and only if such election is made prior to the close of
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a day on which the Common Stock is
traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or (ii) if such election is made after
the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on a given day or at any
time on a day on which no sales of Common Stock are made on the New York Stock
Exchange, then on the next business day on which the Common Stock is traded on
the New York Stock Exchange (the date described in (i) or (ii), as applicable,
is referred to hereinafter as the election's "Effective Date").

Such election shall be made in the manner specified by the Committee or its
authorized designee; provided however, that a Section 16 Insider may only elect
to transfer between his or her Accounts if he or she has made no election within
the previous six months to effect an "opposite way" fund-switching (i.e.,
transfer out versus transfer in) transfer into or out of the Stock Account or
the Eastman Stock Funds of the Eastman Investment and Employee Stock Ownership
Plan, or any other "opposite way" intra-plan transfer or plan distribution
involving a Company equity securities fund which constitutes a "Discretionary
Transaction" as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. A Participant's
election to transfer less than all of the funds in his or her Interest Accounts
to his or her Stock Accounts shall be applied pro rata to the Interest Account
in the Participant's EDCP Account and ESOP Account. The same procedure shall be
followed if the Participant elects to transfer less than all of the funds in his
or her Stock Accounts to his or her Interest Accounts.

In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, a Section 16 Insider's
Deferrable Amount that is initially allocated to his or her Interest Account as
provided in Section 5.2, shall be transferred, following such initial


                                      163
<PAGE>

allocation, from the Participant's Interest Account to his or her Stock Account
in the manner provided in Section 5.2.

         SECTION 7.3.  TRANSFER INTO THE STOCK ACCOUNT. If a Participant elects
pursuant to Section 7.2 to transfer an amount from his or her Interest Accounts
to his or her Stock Accounts, then, effective as of the election's Effective
Date, his or her Stock Accounts shall be credited with that number of units of
Common Stock; and fractions thereof, obtained by dividing the dollar amount
elected to be transferred by the Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Valuation Date immediately preceding the election's Effective Date; and (ii) his
or her Interest Accounts shall be reduced by the amount elected to be
transferred.

         SECTION 7.4.  TRANSFER OUT OF THE STOCK ACCOUNT. If a Participant
elects pursuant to Section 7.2 to transfer an amount from his or her Stock
Accounts to his or her Interest Account, effective as of the election's
Effective Date; (i) his or her Interest Accounts shall be credited with a dollar
amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying the number of units to be
transferred by the Market Value of the Common Stock on the Valuation Date
immediately preceding the election's Effective Date; and (ii) his or her Stock
Accounts shall be reduced by the number of units elected to be transferred.

         SECTION 7.5.  DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. Effective as of the payment date
for each cash dividend on the Common Stock, the Stock Accounts of each
Participant who had a balance in his or her Stock Accounts on the record date
for such dividend shall be credited with a number of units of Common Stock, and
fractions thereof, obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate dollar amount of such
cash dividend payable in respect of such Participant's Stock Accounts
(determined by multiplying the dollar value of the dividend paid upon a single
share of Common Stock by the number of units of Common Stock held in the
Participant's Stock Accounts on the record date for such dividend); by (ii) the
Market Value of the Common Stock on the Valuation Date immediately preceding the
payment date for such cash dividend.

         SECTION 7.6.  STOCK DIVIDENDS. Effective as of the payment date for
each stock dividend on the Common Stock, additional units of Common Stock shall
be credited to the Stock Accounts of each Participant who had a balance in his
or her Stock Accounts on the record date for such dividend. The number of units
that shall be credited to the Stock Account of such a Participant shall equal
the number of shares of Common Stock and fractions thereof, which the
Participant would have received as stock dividends had he or she been the owner
on the record date for such stock dividend of the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of units credited to his or her Stock Accounts on such
record date.

         SECTION 7.7.  RECAPITALIZATION. If, as a result of a recapitalization
of the Company, the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a
greater number or smaller number of shares, the number of units credited to a
Participant's Stock Accounts shall be appropriately adjusted on the same basis.

         SECTION 7.8.  DISTRIBUTIONS. Amounts in respect of units of Common
Stock may only be distributed out of the Stock Accounts by transfer to the
Interest Accounts (pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.4 or 7.10) or withdrawal from
the Stock Accounts (pursuant to Sections 8, 9, 10, or 19), and shall be
distributed in cash. The number of units to be distributed from a Participant's


                                      164
<PAGE>

Stock Accounts shall be valued by multiplying the number of such units by the
Market Value of the Common Stock as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding
the date such distribution is to occur. Pending the complete distribution under
Section 8.2 or liquidation under Section 7.10 of the Stock Accounts of a
Participant who has terminated his or her employment with the Company or any of
its U.S. Subsidiaries, the Participant shall continue to be able to make
elections pursuant to Sections 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 and his or her Stock Accounts
shall continue to be credited with additional units of Common Stock pursuant to
Sections 7.5, 7.6, and 7.7.

         SECTION 7.9.  RESPONSIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT CHOICES. Each Participant
is solely responsible for any decision to defer compensation into his or her
EDCP Stock Account, and to retain in his or her ESOP Stock Account any amounts
credited thereto, and to transfer amounts to and from his or her Stock Accounts.
Each Participant accepts all investment risks entailed by such decision,
including the risk of loss and a decrease in the value of the amounts he or she
elects to transfer into his or her Stock Accounts.

         SECTION 7.10.  NO REINVESTMENT IN STOCK ACCOUNTS AFTER TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT. Once a Participant has terminated employment with the Company and
all of its U.S. Subsidiaries, a Participant may, until his Account is fully
distributed and pursuant to the rules of this Plan, elect to liquidate units of
the Stock Accounts and transfer such value to the Interest Accounts, but the
Participant may not transfer any funds from the Interest Accounts into the Stock
Accounts. For purposes of valuing the units of Common Stock subject to such a
transfer, the approach described in Section 7.8 shall be used.

SECTION 8.  PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION.

         SECTION 8.1.  BACKGROUND. No withdrawal may be made from a
Participant's Accounts except as provided in this Section 8 and Sections 9, 10,
and 19.

         SECTION 8.2.  MANNER OF PAYMENT. Payment of a Participant's Accounts
shall be made in a single lump sum or annual installments, as elected by the
Participant pursuant to this Section 8. The maximum number of annual
installments is ten. The minimum annual installment payment permitted from the
EDCP or ESOP Account, respectively, under such election (determined based on the
value of the Participant's Accounts as of the last Valuation Date of the
calendar year in which the Participant terminates employment, and disregarding
any earnings under this Plan after such date) shall be one thousand dollars
($1,000); this minimum shall be applied by dividing by $1,000 the value of the
Participant's respective Accounts (EDCP or ESOP) as of the last Valuation Date
of the calendar year in which the Participant terminates employment, and the
result, rounded down to the next largest whole number, shall be the maximum
number of annual installments permitted. All payments from the Plan shall be
made in cash.

         SECTION 8.3.  TIMING OF PAYMENTS. Payments shall be made by the fifth
business day in March and shall commence in any year elected by the Participant
pursuant to this Section 8, up through the tenth year following the year in
which the Participant retires, becomes disabled, or for any other reason, ceases
to be an employee of the Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries, but in no
event shall payment commence later than the year the Participant reaches age 71.


                                      165
<PAGE>

         SECTION 8.4.  VALUATION. The amount of each payment shall be equal to
the value, as of the preceding Valuation Date, of the Participant's Accounts,
divided by the number of remaining to be paid. If payment of a Participant's
Accounts is to be paid in installments and the Participant has a balance in his
or her Stock Account at the time of the payment of an installment, the amount
that shall be distributed from his or her Stock Account shall be the amount
obtained by multiplying the total amount of the installment determined in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence by the percentage obtained by
dividing the balance in the Stock Account as of the immediately preceding
Valuation Date by the total value of the Participant's Accounts as of such date.
Similarly, in such case, the amount that shall be distributed from the
Participant's Interest Account shall be the amount obtained by multiplying the
total amount of the installment determined in accordance with the first sentence
of this Section 8.4 by the percentage obtained by dividing the balance in the
Interest Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation Date by the total
value of the Participant's Accounts as of such date.

         SECTION 8.5.  PARTICIPANT PAYMENT ELECTIONS. Except as provided in
Section 8.6, an election by a Participant concerning the method of payment under
Section 8.2 or the commencement of payments under Section 8.3 must be made at
least one (1) year before the Participant's termination of employment, and must
be made on forms provided by the Company. If a Participant does not have a valid
election in force at the time of termination of employment, then (i) if the
value of his aggregate Accounts as of the last Valuation Date of the calendar
year in which he terminates employment is less than ten thousand dollars
($10,000), then his Accounts shall be paid in a single lump sum; (ii) if the
aggregate value of his Accounts as of the last Valuation Date of the calendar
year in which he terminates employment is ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or
more, then his Accounts shall be paid in ten (10) annual installments; and (iii)
regardless of whether payment is made in a single lump sum or installments,
payment shall commence by the fifth business day in March following the calendar
year in which the Participant terminates employment.

         SECTION 8.6.  SPECIAL PAYMENT ELECTION RULES.

         (a)      Notwithstanding Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5, if a Participant
terminates employment less than one (1) year after the date he first becomes
eligible to participate in this Plan, then an election made by the Participant
under this Section 8 no later than thirty (30) days after the date he first
becomes eligible to participate in this Plan shall be valid.

         (b)      Notwithstanding Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5, if a Participant
terminates employment under circumstances not contemplated at the time the
Participant filed with the Company his or her election under Section 8.5
(hereafter "Changed Circumstances"), then the Vice President, Human Resources,
with respect to Participants who are not executive officers of the Company, and
the Compensation Committee, with respect to Participants who are executive
officers of the Company, may allow such Participant to change his or her
election made under Section 8.5. The determination of whether or not to change
such election shall be made by the Vice President, Human Resources or the
Compensation Committee, as applicable, in his or its sole discretion, taking
into account such factors as deemed appropriate, and without regard to any prior
determinations made by such parties. Until announced otherwise by the Vice
President, Human Resources, "Changed Circumstances" shall mean (and shall only


                                      166
<PAGE>

mean) a Company-initiated termination of employment.

         (c)      Notwithstanding Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5, if and to the
extent the Vice President, Human Resources or the Compensation Committee
approves the deferral of Severance Pay pursuant to Section 1.7, such approval
shall set forth the terms of the payment of such Severance Pay under the Plan,
including the time of commencement of payment and the form of payment.

         (d)      Any new payment election made by a Participant on or after
October 1, 2001, shall, once effective, apply to both the Participant's EDCP
Account and ESOP Account. If a Participant makes no new payment election on or
after October 1, 2001, then (i) from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002,
the most recent payment election made by a Participant under the Eastman ESOP
Excess Plan shall continue to govern payment of the Participant's ESOP Account
under this Plan; and (ii) effective January 1, 2003, the ESOP Accounts shall be
merged into the EDCP Accounts, and any payment election made prior to that time
with respect to the ESOP Account shall be disregarded, other than for an ESOP
Account which is in pay status on January 1, 2003. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a former Participant who terminated employment prior to October 1,
2001, may continue to make a separate payment election with respect to his ESOP
Account thereafter.

SECTION 9.  PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION AFTER DEATH. If a Participant dies
prior to complete payment of his or her Accounts, the balance of such Accounts,
valued as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date payment is made,
shall be paid in a single, lump sum Payment to: (i) the beneficiary or
contingent beneficiary designated by the Participant on forms supplied by the
Compensation Committee; or, in the absence of a valid designation of a
beneficiary or contingent beneficiary, (ii) the Participant's estate within 30
days after appointment of a legal representative of the deceased Participant.

Any new beneficiary election made by a Participant on or after October 1, 2001,
shall apply to both the Participant's EDCP Account and ESOP Account. If a
Participant makes no new beneficiary election on or after October 1, 2001, then
(i) from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002, the most recent beneficiary
election made by a Participant under the Eastman ESOP Excess Plan shall continue
to govern payment of the Participant's ESOP Account under this Plan; and (ii)
effective January 1, 2003, the ESOP Accounts shall be merged into the EDCP
Accounts, and any beneficiary election made prior to that time with respect to
the ESOP Account shall be disregarded, other than for an ESOP Account which is
in pay status on January 1, 2003. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a former
Participant who terminated employment prior to October 1, 2001, may continue to
make a separate beneficiary election with respect to his ESOP Account
thereafter.

SECTION 10.  ACCELERATION OF PAYMENT FOR HARDSHIP.

         SECTION 10.1.  HARDSHIP. Upon written approval from the Company's Vice
President, Human Resources, with respect to Participants other than executive
officers of the Company, and by the Compensation Committee, with respect to
Participants who are executive officers of the Company, and subject to the
restrictions in the next two sentences, a Participant, whether or not he or she
is still employed by the Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries, may be
permitted to receive all or part of his or her Accounts if the Company's Vice
President, Human Resources, or the Compensation Committee, as applicable,
determines that an emergency event beyond the Participant's control exists which
would cause such Participant severe financial hardship if the payment of his or
her Accounts were not approved. Any such distribution for hardship shall be


                                      167
<PAGE>

limited to the amount needed to meet such emergency.

         SECTION 10.2.  OTHER PAYMENTS. Any participant in the Plan may at his
or her discretion withdraw at any time all or part of that person's Accounts
under the Plan; provided, if this option is exercised the individual will
forfeit to the Corporation 10% of his or her aggregate Accounts, and will not be
permitted to make deferrals to or receive ESOP allocations under this plan for a
period of 36 months from date any payment to a participant is made under this
section.

         SECTION 10.3.  ACCELERATED PAYMENT. If under Eastman Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan one-half or more of the Participants or one-fifth or more of
the Participants with one-half or more of the value of all benefits owed
exercise their option for immediate distribution in any consecutive six-month
period this will trigger immediate payment to all Participants of all benefits
owed under the terms of the plan, immediate payout under this section will not
involve reduction of the amounts paid to Participants as set forth in section
10.2. Any individual that has been penalized in this six-month period for
electing immediate withdrawal will be paid that penalty, and continuing
participation will be allowed, if payout to all Participants under this section
occurs.

         SECTION 10.4.  SECTION 16 INSIDERS. A Section 16 Insider may only
receive a withdrawal from his or her Stock Account pursuant to this Section 10
if he or she has made no election within the previous six months to effect a
fund-switching transfer into the Stock Account or the Eastman Stock Fund of the
Eastman Investment Plan or the Savings and Investment Plan Appendix, or any
other "opposite way" intra-plan transfer into a Company equity securities fund
which constitutes a "Discretionary Transaction" as defined in Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act. If such a distribution occurs while the Participant is
employed by the Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries, any election to defer
compensation for the year in which the Participant receives a withdrawal shall
be ineffective as to compensation earned for the pay period following the pay
period during which the withdrawal is made and thereafter for the remainder of
such year and shall be ineffective as to any other compensation elected to be
deferred for such year.

         SECTION 10.5.  EDCP AND ESOP ELECTIONS. A Participant's election to
withdraw less than all of the funds in his or her Accounts under Sections 10.1
or 10.2 above shall be applied pro rata to all of the Participant's sub-accounts
under the Plan (i.e., to the two investment accounts under the EDCP Account, and
to the two investment accounts under the ESOP Account).

SECTION 11.  NON-COMPETITION AND NON-DISCLOSURE PROVISION. Participant will not,
without the written consent of the Company, either during his or her employment
by the Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries or thereafter, disclose to anyone
or make use of any confidential information which he or she has acquired during
his or her employment relating to any of the business of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, except as such disclosure or use may be required in connection
with his or her work as an employee of the Company or any of its U.S.
Subsidiaries. During Participant's employment by the Company or any of its U.S.
Subsidiaries, and for a period of two years after the termination of such
employment, he or she will not, without the written consent of the Company,
either as principal, agent, consultant, employee or otherwise, engage in any
work or other activity in competition with the Company in the field or fields in


                                      168
<PAGE>

which he or she has worked for the Company or any of its U.S. Subsidiaries. The
agreement in this Section 11 applies separately in the United States and in
other countries but only to the extent that its application shall be reasonably
necessary for the protection of the Company. If the Participant does not comply
with the terms of this Section 11, the Company's Vice President, Human
Resources, with respect to Participants other than executive officers of the
Company, or the Compensation Committee, with respect to executive officers of
the Company may, in his or its sole discretion, direct the Company to pay to the
Participant the balance credited to his or her Interest Accounts and/or Stock
Accounts.

SECTION 12.  PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS UNSECURED. The benefits payable under this
Plan shall be paid by the Company each year out of its general assets. To the
extent a Participant acquires the right to receive a payment under this Plan,
such right shall be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor of the
Company. No amount payable under this Plan may be assigned, transferred,
encumbered or subject to any legal process for the payment of any claim against
a Participant. No Participant shall have the right to exercise any of the rights
or privileges of a shareowner with respect to the units credited to his or her
Stock Accounts.

SECTION 13.  NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. Participation in the Plan shall
not give any employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company or any of
its U.S. Subsidiaries. The Company and each employer U S. Subsidiary reserve the
right to terminate any Participant at any time.

SECTION 14.  STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT. Statements will be sent no less frequently
than annually to each Participant or his or her estate showing the value of the
Participant's Accounts.

SECTION 15.  DEDUCTIONS. The Company will withhold to the extent required by law
an applicable income and other taxes from amounts deferred or paid under the
Plan.

SECTION 16.  ADMINISTRATION.

         SECTION 16.1.  RESPONSIBILITY. Except as expressly provided otherwise
herein, the Compensation Committee shall have total and exclusive responsibility
to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its
terms.

         SECTION 16.2.  AUTHORITY OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The
Compensation Committee shall have all the authority that may be necessary or
helpful to enable it to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Plan.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Compensation
Committee shall have the exclusive right to interpret the Plan, to determine
eligibility for participation in the Plan, to decide all questions concerning
eligibility for and the amount of benefits payable under the Plan, to construe
any ambiguous provision of the Plan, to correct any default, to supply any
omission, to reconcile any inconsistency, and to decide any and all questions
arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan.

         SECTION 16.3.  DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY. The Compensation Committee
shall have full discretionary authority in all matters related to the discharge
of its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the Plan
including, without limitation, its construction of the terms of the Plan and its
determination of eligibility for participation and benefits under the Plan. It
is the intent that the decisions of the Compensation Committee and its


                                      169
<PAGE>

action with respect to the Plan shall be final and binding upon all persons
having or claiming to have any right or interest in or under the Plan and that
no such decision or action shall be modified upon judicial review unless such
decision or action is proven to be arbitrary or capricious.

         SECTION 16.4.  AUTHORITY OF VICE PRESIDENT HUMAN RESOURCES. Where
expressly provided for under Sections 8, 10 and 11, the authority of the
Compensation Committee is delegated to the Company's Vice President, Human
Resources, and to that extent the provisions of Section 16.1 through 16.3 above
shall be deemed to apply to such Vice President.

         SECTION 16.5.  DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. The Compensation Committee may
provide additional delegation of some or all of its authority under the Plan to
any person or persons provided that any such delegation be in writing.

SECTION 17. AMENDMENT. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.
In addition, the Board may, from time to time, amend the Plan in any manner
without shareowner approval; provided however, that the Board may condition any
amendment on the approval of shareowners if such approval is necessary or
advisable with respect to tax, securities, or other applicable laws. However, no
amendment, modification, or termination shall, without the consent of a
Participant, adversely affect such Participant's accruals in his or her Accounts
as of the date of such amendment, modification, or termination.

SECTION 18.  GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be construed, governed and enforced
in accordance with the law of Tennessee, except as such laws are preempted by
applicable federal law.

SECTION 19.  CHANGE IN CONTROL.

         SECTION 19.1.  BACKGROUND. The terms of this Section 19 shall
immediately become operative, without further action or consent by any person or
entity, upon a Change in Control, and once operative shall supersede and control
over any other provisions of this Plan.

         SECTION 19.2.  AMENDMENT ON OR AFTER CHANGE IN CONTROL. On or after 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 Participant or the operation of this Plan with respect
to the balance in the Participant's Accounts without the written consent of the
Participant, or, if the Participant is deceased, the Participant's beneficiary
under this Plan (if any).

         SECTION 19.3.  ATTORNEY FEES. The Corporation shall pay all reasonable
legal fees and related expenses incurred by a participant in seeking to obtain
or enforce any payment, benefit or right such participant may be entitled to
under the plan after a Change in Control; provided, however, the participant
shall be required to repay any such amounts to the Corporation to the extent a
court of competent jurisdiction issues a final and non-appealable order setting
forth the determination that the position taken by the participant was frivolous
or advanced in bad faith.


                                      170

SECTION 20.  COMPLIANCE WITH SEC REGULATIONS. It is the Company's intent that
the Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and any
regulations promulgated thereunder. If any provision of the Plan is found not to
be in compliance with such rule, the provision shall be deemed null and void.
All transactions under the plan, including, but not by way of limitation, a
Participant's election to defer compensation or transfer Account balances under
Section 7 and hardship withdrawals under Section 10, shall be executed in
accordance with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as amended
and any regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that any of the
provisions contained herein do not conform with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act
or any amendments thereto or any successor regulation, then the Committee may
make such modifications so as to conform the Plan to the Rule's requirements.

SECTION 21.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Plan shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
