    Section
      3. Administration.
      This
      Subplan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have
      authority to interpret this Subplan, to prescribe rules and regulations relating
      to this Subplan, and to take any other actions it deems necessary or advisable

      granted to it under Section 3 of the Plan. At the end of the Performance
      Period, the Committee shall approve Actual Grant Amounts awarded to participants
      under this Subplan. 

    


    Section
      4. Eligibility.
      The
      Employees who are eligible to participate in this Subplan are those Employees
      who, as of the Participation Date, are at Salary Grade 120 and above. These

      of
      the Exchange Act, and held positions with the Company considered carrying
      responsibilities and functions generally associated with a vice-president-level

      the
      Participation Date, are not
      eligible
      to participate in this Subplan. 

    


    Section
      5. Form of Awards.
      Subject
      to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Subplan, Awards under this
      Subplan shall be paid in the form of unrestricted shares of Common Stock, except
      for conversions to cash and deferrals under Section 9 of this Subplan, and
      except that if a participant is entitled to any fraction of a share of Common
      Stock, as a result of Section 10 of this Subplan or otherwise, then in lieu
      of
      receiving such fraction of a share, the participant shall be paid a cash amount
      representing the market value, as determined by the Committee, of such fraction
      of a share at the time of payment.

    


    Section
      6. Size of Awards.
      

    


    (a) Target
      Award Range.
      Exhibit
      A hereto shows by Salary Grade the Target Award Range. The Salary Grade to
      be
      used in determining the size of any Award Amount to a participant under this
      Subplan shall be the Salary Grade applicable to the position held by the
      participant on the Participation Date. The actual size of the Award Amount
      to
      the participant shall be determined based on an assessment by his or her senior
      management of the participant’s past performance and potential for contributions
      to the Company’s future long term success. Based on this assessment, the
      participant may receive no award, the target award amount, or any amount within
      the Target Award Range to the nearest 10 performance shares. Each member of
      senior management will have a performance share budget, based on the cumulative
      award targets for their reports, which must be balanced for their organizations.

              Stock
                Option Grants for Employees Named After the Participation
                Date.
                Employees who are hired into, or promoted to a Salary Grade 120 or
                above
                position after the Participation Date but prior to the Performance
                Period,
                will be eligible to receive an additional number of options to purchase
                Company stock as of the next scheduled meeting of the Compensation
                Committee following their hire or promotion. The additional grant
                of
                options will be determined based on several factors, including timing
                of
                the promotion or hire, number of options received in the previous
                assignment, stock option target ranges for the employee’s new salary
                grade, and considerations of performance assessment. The amount of
                the
                award will be recommended by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for
                approval by the Compensation Committee. The option grant price will
                be the
                closing price of Company common stock on the New York Stock Exchange
                on
                the meeting date of the Compensation
                Committee.

            


    

    


    
      	(c)  	
              Actual
                Grant Amount.
                Subject to the Committee’s authority to adjust the Actual Grant Amount
                described in Section 12, the Actual Grant Amount awarded to the
                participant at the end of the Performance Period is determined by
                applying
                a multiplier to the participant’s Award Amount. The multiplier shall be
                determined by comparing Company performance relative to two
                measures:

            


    

    


    
      	(i)  	
              The
                Company's TSR during the Performance Period relative to the TSRs
                of the
                companies in the Comparison Group during the Performance
                Period.
                The Company and each company in the Comparison Group shall be ranked
                by
                TSR, in descending order, with the company having the highest TSR
                during
                the Performance Period being ranked number one. The Comparison Group
                shall
                further be separated into quintiles (first 20%, second 20%, etc.)
                and the
                Company's position, in relation to the Comparison Group, shall be
                expressed as a position in the applicable quintile ranking;
                and

            


    

    


    
      	 	 	
              (ii)
                

            	
              The
                arithmetic average, for each of the Performance Years during the
                Performance Period, of the Company’s average Return on Capital minus a
                Return on Capital target.
                The Return on Capital target will be determined by the Committee.
                 

            


    

    


    An
      award
      multiplier table is shown in Exhibit B. The award multiplier is based on the
      Company’s performance relative to its quintile ranking relative to the
      Comparison Group, and its average Return on Capital relative to a target during
      the Performance Period. The award multipliers range from 3.0 (i.e. 300%), if
      the
      Company's TSR is in the top performing quintile (top 20%) of companies in the
      Comparison Group, and the average Return on Capital minus the target Return
      on
      Capital is greater than 10 percentage points, to 0.0 (with no shares of Common
      Stock being delivered to participants under this Subplan), if the Company does
      not meet certain levels of performance relative to the two measures.


    


    Section
      7. Composition of Comparison Group.
      The
      Comparison Group is composed of companies relevant for purposes of TSR
      comparisons under this Subplan. However, during the Performance Period, a
      company in the Comparison Group may be dropped from the Comparison Group if
      a
      company's common stock ceases to be publicly traded on a national stock exchange
      or market; or a company is a party to a significant merger, acquisition, or
      other reorganization. Under these, or similar circumstances, the company or
      companies may be removed from the Comparison Group, and may be replaced with
      another company or companies by Standard & Poor’s, consistent with their
      established criteria for selection of companies for the Comparison Group. In
      any
      case where the Comparison Group ceases to exist, or is otherwise determined
      to
      no longer be appropriate as the basis for a measure under this Subplan, the
      Committee may designate a replacement Comparison Group. In any such case, the
      Committee shall have authority to determine the appropriate method of
      calculating the TSR of such former and/or replacement Comparison Group, whether
      by complete substitution of the replacement Comparison Group (and disregard
      of
      the former Comparison Group) over the entire Performance Period or by pro rata
      calculations for each Comparison Group or otherwise.

      8. Preconditions to Receipt of an Award.

    


    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Continuous
                Employment.
                Except as specified in paragraph (b) below, to remain eligible for
                an
                Award under this Subplan, an eligible Employee must remain continuously
                employed with the Company or a Subsidiary at all times from the Effective
                Date through the Award Payment
                Date.

              (b)

            	
              Death,
                Disability, Retirement, or Termination for an Approved Reason Before
                the
                Award Payment Date.
                If
                a participant's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated
                due to death, disability, retirement, or any approved reason prior
                to the
                Award Payment Date, the participant shall receive, subject to the
                terms
                and conditions of the Plan and this Subplan, an Award representing
                a
                prorated portion of the Actual Grant Amount to which such participant
                otherwise would be entitled, with the precise amount of such Award
                to be
                determined by multiplying the Actual Grant Amount by a fraction,
                the
                numerator of which is the number of full calendar months employed
                in the
                Performance Period from the Effective Date through and including
                the
                effective date of such termination, and the denominator of which
                is 36
                (the total number of months in the Performance Period).
                

            


    

    


    Section
      9. Manner and Timing of Award Payments.

    


    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Timing
                of Award Payment.
                Except for deferrals under Sections 9(c) and 9(d), if any Awards
                are
                payable under this Subplan, the payment of such Awards to eligible
                Employees shall be made as soon as is administratively practicable
                after
                the end of the Performance Period and final approval by the
                Committee.

            


    

    


    
      	
              (b)

            	
              Tax
                Withholding.
                The Company may withhold or require the grantee to remit a cash amount
                sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including
                the
                participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld. Further,
                either the Company or the grantee may elect to satisfy the withholding
                requirement by having the Company withhold shares of common stock
                having a
                Fair
                Market
                Value
                on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory
                total tax which could be imposed on the
                transaction.

            


    

    


    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Deferral
                of Award in Excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount.
                If payment of the Award would, or could in the reasonable estimation
                of
                the Committee, result in the participant's receiving compensation
                in
                excess of the Maximum Deductible Amount in a given year, then such
                portion
                (or all, as applicable) of the Award as would, or could in the reasonable
                estimation of the Committee, cause such participant to receive
                compensation from the Company in excess of the Maximum Deductible
                Amount
                may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, be converted into the
                right
                to receive a cash payment, which shall be deferred until after the
                participant retires or otherwise terminates employment with the Company
                and its Subsidiaries, provided that such deferral is compliant with
                the
                requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and Treasury
                Regulations and guidance
                thereunder.

            


    

    


    
      	
              (d)
                

            	
              Election
                to Defer the Award.
                Any participant in this Subplan may elect to defer the Award until
                after
                the participant retires or otherwise terminates employment with the
                Company and its Subsidiaries under the terms and subject to the conditions
                of the Eastman Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, as the same
                now
                exists or may be amended hereafter (the "EDCP"). If the participant
                chooses to defer the Award, the Award shall be converted into the
                right to
                receive a cash payment.

            


    

    


    
      	
              (e)
                

            	
              Award
                Deferral to the EDCP.
                In the event that all or any portion of an Award is converted into
                a right
                to receive a cash payment pursuant to Sections 9(c) or 9(d), except
                as
                otherwise provided in this Section with respect to Section 16 insiders,
                an
                amount representing the Fair Market Value, as of the date the Common
                Stock
                covered by the Award otherwise would be delivered to the participant,
                of
                the Actual Grant Amount (or the deferred portion thereof) will be
                credited
                to the Stock Account of the EDCP, and hypothetically invested in
                units of
                Common Stock. Notwithstanding
                the foregoing, for each Section 16 insider electing to defer the
                Award,
                the 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, 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, subject to provisions set forth in the EDCP. Thereafter,
                such amount shall be treated in the same manner as other investments
                in
                the EDCP and shall be subject to the terms and conditions
                thereof.

            


    

    


    Section
      10. No Rights as Stockholder.
      No
      certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued under this Subplan
      nor
      shall any participant have any rights as a stockholder as a result of
      participation in this Subplan, until the Actual Grant Amount has been determined
      and such participant has otherwise become entitled to an Award under the terms
      of the Plan and this Subplan. In particular, no participant shall have any
      right
      to vote or to receive dividends on any shares of Common Stock under this
      Subplan, until certificates for such shares have been issued as described above;
      provided, however, that if payment of all or any portion of an Award under
      this
      Subplan has been deferred pursuant to Section 9 of this Subplan or
      otherwise, but such Award otherwise has become payable hereunder, then during
      the period during which payment is deferred, the deferred Award shall be
      credited with additional units of Common Stock, and (if applicable) fractions
      thereof, based on any dividends declared on the Common Stock, in accordance
      with
      the terms of the EDCP.
