Exercise:

 

No Option will be exercisable prior to the date on which it vests.  Upon Vesting, the Options will allow the purchase of Shares at the Option Price noted above.  Each Option provides for the ability to purchase a single Share.  

 

Subject to the “Withholding” provision below, the Options shall be exercised by written notice or by any other method permitted by the Committee stating the number of Options to be exercised, with payment of the aggregate Option Price for the number of Options exercised.

 

The aggregate Option Price for the Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company in full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant:

 


	
 
	
(i)
	
in cash or its equivalent (e.g., by cashier’s check); 




 


	
 
	
(ii)
	
to the extent permitted by the Committee, in Shares previously owned by the Grantee having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee, 




 


	
 
	
(iii)
	
any combination of the foregoing; or 




 


	
 
	
(iv)
	
in consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan.




 

Under no circumstances will fractional Shares be issued; if the Grantee elects to pay the Option Price for the Shares using Shares already owned by him or her, or Shares to be received from his or her exercise of this Option and such payment involves a fraction of a Share, the remaining fraction of such Share shall be redeemed by the Company and the Company shall pay the Grantee the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share in cash in lieu of issuing such fractional Share. 

 

Expiration Date:

 

Each Option will expire at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Grant Date, unless sooner forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement or the Plan.

 

General Terms Applicable to Both RSUs and Options

 

Withholding:

 

Pursuant to Section 16.4 of the Plan, the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any amount deliverable under the Award or otherwise (including Shares otherwise deliverable), or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal,

state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with this Award.

through an independent broker-dealer arrangement to sell a sufficient number of Shares;




 

in each case, having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum tax required to be withheld.

 

If the Grantee is located in a country outside of the United States, the RSUs or Options may be subject to applicable local laws, which may limit, qualify or supplement the terms set forth herein, including how the applicable tax withholdings associated with the grant, payment or exercise of the RSUs or Options are satisfied.  In addition, if the Grantee is located in a country outside of the United States, he or she may be subject to foreign asset reporting, repatriation or other obligations under the laws of the country in which he or she resides, and the Grantee is advised to consult with his or her individual advisor as to what, if any, obligations apply to him or her a result of the receipt, payment or exercise of the RSUs or Options, or the sale of the Kodak shares received by him or her.

 

Grantee Rights:

 

The Grantee will not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying or covered by the Award, whether or not vested, until such Shares are actually issued and delivered to the Grantee.

 

Change of Control:

 

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Committee may, but shall not be required, to make one or more of the adjustments set forth in Section 14.2 of the Plan to the Award if and to the extent that the Award is outstanding at the time of the Change of Control.

Pursuant to Section 15.2 of the Plan, the Committee may from time to time amend this Award Agreement; provided, however, no amendment shall materially adversely impair the rights of the Grantee under this Award Agreement without the Grantee’s consent.

The Company may unilaterally amend this Award Agreement for purposes of exemption from or compliance with Section 409A if, in its sole discretion, the Company determines that such amendment would not have a material adverse effect with respect to the Grantee’s rights under this Award Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person connected with the Plan or the Award in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and its directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment will be applicable with respect to the Award or payments made under this Award Agreement, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to the Grantee.
