Re:  Employment Agreement

 

 

Dear Jeff:

 

This mutually agreeable form of employment agreement (this “Agreement”), will be your employment agreement and will be effective on March 12, 2014 (“the Effective Date”).  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” shall refer to Eastman Kodak Company.

 

	
1.  

	
Terms Schedule

 

Some of the terms of your employment are in the attached schedule (your “Schedule”), which is part of this Agreement.

 

	
2.  

	
Scheduled Term

 

The term of this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and end on March 12, 2017.

 

	
3.  

	
Your Position, Performance and Other Activities

 

	
(a)  

	
Position.  You will be employed in the position stated in your Schedule.

 

	
(b)  

	
Authority, Responsibilities, and Reporting.  Your authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company.  As Chief Executive Officer, you will serve as a member of the Board without additional compensation.

 

	
(c)  

	
Performance.  You will devote substantially all of your business time and attention to the Company and will use good faith efforts to discharge your responsibilities under this Agreement to the best of your ability.

 

	
(d)  

	
Other Activities.  During your Scheduled Term and subject to the terms of the Schedule, you may (1) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (2) manage

 

  

1

  

	
(e)  

	
personal investments, or (3) engage in any other permitted activity stated in your Schedule, so long as these activities, whether individually or in the aggregate, do not materially interfere with your performance of your responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

	
(f)  

	
Incorporation of Employee’s Agreement.  The terms of Eastman Kodak Company Employee’s Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, are incorporated by reference and you agree to abide by such sections.

 

	
4.  

	
Your Compensation

 

	
(a)  

	
Salary.  You will receive an annual base salary (your “Salary”).  Commencing on the Effective Date,  the starting amount of your Salary will be the amount set forth  in your Schedule.   The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board will review your Salary at least annually and may increase it at any time for any reason.  However, your Salary may not be decreased at any time (including after any increase) absent your prior written consent, and any increase in your Salary will not reduce or limit any other obligation to you under this Agreement.  Your Salary will be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal practices for similarly situated executives.

 

	
(b)  

	
Annual Incentive.  You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s short-term variable pay plan for its management level employees, known as Executive Compensation for Excellence and Leadership (“EXCEL”) (your “Annual Incentive”).  Your annual target award under EXCEL will be determined in accordance with your Schedule.  Any actual award in a given annual performance period will depend upon performance against corporate goals selected by management and approved by the appropriate committee of the Board and will be paid in the discretion of such committee.  The terms of the EXCEL plan itself govern and control all interpretations of the plan.

 

	
(c)  

	
Long Term Incentive Awards.  On or shortly after the Effective Date, you will be granted the equity awards stated in your Schedule, which will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable award notice. Your equity awards are stated on your Schedule in terms of dollar ($) value. The actual number of restricted stock units you will be granted is calculated by dividing the dollar value of your award by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant.  To determine the number of stock options to be delivered to you, the average of the closing price of the Company's stock over 10 trading days ending on March 12, 2014 will be calculated. The fair value of the stock options will be estimated using appropriate valuation techniques, such as a Black-Scholes model, and a 10-day trailing average stock price as a stock price assumption. The target dollar value to be delivered in stock options will be divided by the calculated fair value to determine the number of stock options.

 

	
5.  

	
Your Benefits

 

	
(a)  

	
Employee Benefit Plans.  During the Scheduled Term, you will be entitled to participate in each of the Company’s employee benefit and welfare plans, including plans providing retirement benefits and medical, dental, hospitalization, life and disability insurance, on a

 

  

2

  

	
(b)  

	
basis that is at least as favorable as that provided to similarly situated executives of the Company.

 

	
(c)  

	
Vacation.  You will be entitled to paid annual vacation in accordance with your Schedule.

 

	
(d)  

	
Business Expenses.  You will be reimbursed for all reasonable business expenses incurred by you in performing your responsibilities under this Agreement, subject to the terms of applicable Company reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time.

 

	
(e)  

	
Indemnification; Advancement of Expenses.  Pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, the Company will indemnify you and advance or reimburse expenses to the same extent as the most favorable indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provisions applicable to any member of the Board.  If the Company’s ability to make any payment contemplated by your applicable indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provisions depends on an investigation or determination by the Board or any member of the Company, at your request the Company will use its best efforts to cause the investigation to be made (at the Company’s expense) and to have the relevant Board reach a determination as soon as reasonably possible.

 

	
(f)  

	
Additional Benefits.  During your employment, you will be provided any additional benefits stated in your Schedule.

a.

b.  

	
the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination:  (i) more than 50% of the total voting power of (x) the entity resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Entity”), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of at least 95% of the voting power, is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (ii) no person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Entity or the parent), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the parent (or, if there is no parent, the Surviving Entity) and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the parent (or, if there is no parent, the Surviving Entity) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (b) shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person (and in all cases results in beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the Company Voting Securities), a Change of Control shall then occur.

(c)  

	
Advance Notice Generally Required.

 

	
1.  

	
To terminate your employment before the end of the Scheduled Term, either you or the Company must provide a Termination Notice to the other.  A “Termination Notice” is a written notice that states the specific provision of this Agreement on which termination is based, including, if applicable, the specific clause of the definition of Cause or Good Reason and a reasonably detailed description of the facts that permit termination under that clause; provided, that the failure to include any fact in a Termination Notice that contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason does not preclude either party from asserting that fact in enforcing its rights under this Agreement.

 

	
2.  

	
You and the Company agree to provide 30 days’ advance Termination Notice of any termination, unless your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or because of your Disability or death.  If you die or become Disabled after you provide a valid Termination Notice with Good Reason or the Company provides Termination Notice without Cause, your termination will be treated as a termination with Good Reason or without Cause, effective as of the date of your Disability or death.

 

	
3.  

	
Following receipt of such notice, the Company may, at its sole discretion, choose to either (1) waive that notice period (thereby immediately terminating your employment) or (2) place you on paid leave, at your then-current salary for any or all of the notice period.

 

	
(d)  

	
With Good Reason or Without Cause.  If, during the Scheduled Term, the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason:

 

	
1.  

	
The Company will pay you the following at the end of your employment: (A) your accrued but unpaid Salary through the last day of your employment, (B) your Salary for any accrued but unused vacation, and (C) any accrued expense reimbursements and other cash entitlements (including for accrued expense reimbursement for which supporting documentation is submitted within 30 days after termination of your employment) (together, your “Accrued Compensation”).  In addition, the Company will timely pay you any amounts and provide you any benefits that are required, or to which you are entitled, under any plan, contract or arrangement of the Company as of the end of your employment (together, the “Other Benefits”).

 

	
2.  

	
The Company will pay you severance (“Severance Payments”) in an amount equal to your Salary, multiplied by the severance multiplier on your Schedule (“Severance Multiplier”).

 

	
3.  

	
Your Annual Incentive will be governed by the terms of the EXCEL plan and any applicable Administrative Guide or Award notice.

 

	
4.  

	
Your Long-Term Equity Awards will continue to vest and remain exercisable according to the terms of the applicable award, in each case without regard to any continued employment condition.  The benefits in this Section 6(d)(3) are referred to as “Continued Vesting.”

  

6

  

 

	
(e)  

	
For Cause or without Good Reason.  If the Company terminates your employment for Cause or you terminate your employment without Good Reason, the Company will pay your Accrued Compensation and your Other Benefits.  Effective upon the date of this termination for Cause or without Good Reason, all of the unvested portion of your remaining equity would be immediately forfeited.

 

	
(f)  

	
For Your Disability or Death.  If, during the Scheduled Term, your employment terminates as a result of your Disability or death, the Company will pay your Accrued Compensation, Earned Annual Incentive and will provide Continued Vesting of your Long Term Incentive Awards in accordance with the terms of the applicable awards, without regard to any continued employment condition, and your  Other Benefits.

 

	
(g)  

	
For End of Scheduled Term.  At the end of your Scheduled Term, the Company will (i) pay your (x) Accrued Compensation, (y) Earned Annual Incentive and (z) Annual Incentive in respect of the fiscal year in which the end of your Scheduled Term occurs, based on actual achievement of applicable performance targets (which such amount shall not be prorated).  Your Long-Term Equity Award will be subject to Continued Vesting.

 

	
(h)  

	
Benefits Bearing.  In no event shall any of the severance payments or benefits provided under this Section 6 be “benefits bearing.”

 

	
(i)  

	
Clawback.  In the event you breach any of the terms in Sections 2, 5, 6 or 7 of the Eastman Kodak Company Employee’s Agreement, this Agreement or the release described in Section 6(j) below, in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies that the Company may pursue against you, no further Severance Payments will be made to you pursuant to this Section 6 and you agree to immediately repay to the Company all moneys previously paid to you pursuant to this Section 6.

 

	
(j)  

	
Timing.  The benefits provided in this Section 6 will begin at the end of your employment, and any cash payments owed to you under this Section 6 will be paid in one lump sum 65 days following your date of termination, except for Severance Payments, which will be made consistently with the Company’s normal payroll cycles and begin as soon as administratively practicable after your separation from service subject to Section 6(k).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Severance Payments owed to you and any Continued Vesting of your Long Term Incentive Awards will only be provided if, at the time of your termination, you provide a release of any and all claims you may have against the Company (other than the rights and benefits provided in Section 5 and the other rights under this Agreement that continue following your employment) in a form reasonably provided by the Company such that you have taken all action necessary for such release to become effective and irrevocable no later than 65 days following your date of termination.  The Termination Allowance Plan (“TAP”) provides broad-based severance benefits to eligible Company employees.  You agree that if you become eligible for severance payments under this Agreement you will not be entitled to TAP benefits.  Should a court nonetheless award you TAP benefits in such circumstances, you agree that the amount of severance payments will be reduced by such award and be immediately repaid to the Company.

(k)  

	
Section 409A.  This Agreement is intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) with respect to amounts, if any, subject thereto and shall be interpreted, construed and performed consistent with such intent.  To the extent you would otherwise be entitled to any payment that under this Agreement, or any plan or arrangement of the Company or its affiliates, constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, and that if paid during the six months beginning on the date of termination of your employment would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax because you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined by the Company), the payment, together with any earnings on it, will be paid to you on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of your date of termination or your death.  Similarly, to the extent you would otherwise be entitled to any benefit (other than a payment) during the six months beginning on termination of your employment that would be subject to the Section 409A additional tax, the benefit will be delayed and will begin being provided (together, if applicable, with an adjustment to compensate you for the delay) on the earlier of the six-month anniversary of your date of termination or your death or change in control (within the meaning of Section 409A).  In addition, any payment or benefit due upon a termination of your employment that represents “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be paid or provided to you only upon a “separation from service” as defined in Treas.  Reg.  § 1.409A-1(h).  Each payment under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A, amounts payable under Sections 6(d)(1), 6(d)(2), 6(d)(3) and 6(d)(4) of this Agreement shall be deemed not to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treas.  Reg.  Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Treas.  Reg.  Section 1.409A-1 through A-6.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere, any payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treas.  Reg.  Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) shall be paid or provided to you only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of your second taxable year following your taxable year in which the “separation from service” occurs; and provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of your third taxable year following the taxable year in which your “separation from service” occurs.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Agreement is determined to be subject to Section 409A, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any life-time or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

You acknowledge and agree that confidential information, including, without limitation, Company intellectual property, customer lists and other proprietary business information, obtained by you while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries concerning the business affairs of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company are the property of the Company or such subsidiary (hereinafter, “Confidential Information”).  Consequently, you agree that, except to the extent required by applicable law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or orders of courts or regulatory authorities, you shall not at any time (whether during or after your employment) disclose to any unauthorized person or use for your own account any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters are or become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of your acts or omissions to act or as required by law.  You shall deliver to the Company at the termination of your employment, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) containing or constituting Confidential Information which you may then possess or have under your control.

(b)  

	
Assumption by any Surviving Company.  Before the effectiveness of any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction (including an exchange offer combined with a merger or consolidation) involving the Company (a “Reorganization”) or any sale, lease or other disposition (including by way of a series of transactions or by way of merger, consolidation, stock sale or similar transaction involving one or more subsidiaries) of all or substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets (a “Sale”), the Company will cause (1) the Surviving Company to unconditionally assume this Agreement in writing and (2) a copy of the assumption to be provided to you.  After the Reorganization or Sale, the Surviving Company will be treated for all purposes as the Company under this Agreement.  The “Surviving Company” means (A) in a Reorganization, the entity resulting from the Reorganization or (B) in a Sale, the entity that has acquired all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

	
11.  

	
General Provisions

 

	
(a)  

	
Withholding.  You and the Company will treat all payments to you under this Agreement as compensation for services.  Accordingly, the Company may withhold from any payment any taxes that are required to be withheld under any law, rule or regulation.

 

	
(b)  

	
Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court of competent jurisdiction (or legally empowered agency) to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then (1) the provision will be amended automatically to the minimum extent necessary to cure the illegality or invalidity and permit enforcement and (2) the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected.  In particular, if any provision of Section 8 is so found to violate law or be unenforceable because it applies for longer than a maximum permitted period or to greater than a maximum permitted area, it will be automatically amended to apply for the maximum permitted period and maximum permitted area.

 

	
(c)  

	
No Set-off or Mitigation.  Your and the Company’s respective obligations under this Agreement will not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other right you or any member of the Company may have against each other or anyone else (except as this Agreement specifically states).  You do not need to seek other employment or take any other action to mitigate any amounts owed to you under this Agreement, and those amounts will not be reduced if you do obtain other employment.

Eastman Kodak Company Employee’s Agreement

 

EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY

 

EMPLOYEE’S AGREEMENT

 

PREAMBLE

 

Eastman Kodak Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively called “Kodak”) operate in very competitive environments around the world.  As part of your employment, you may from time to time have access to confidential and proprietary company information.  This Employee’s Agreement governs certain understandings between Kodak and you regarding your work for Kodak, its confidential and proprietary information, and your responsibilities to Kodak including, but not limited to, nondisclosure of Kodak’s confidential and proprietary information (as defined in paragraph 1 below), assignment of rights, improper competition (as applicable), and nonsolicitation.

 

BACKGROUND

 

I understand that Kodak is engaged in the research, development, manufacture, use, marketing and sale of and services related to equipment, materials (including, but not limited to, photographic and other imaging media), software, firmware, components, web applications, multimedia data including, but not limited to, audio information, hardcopy information, digital information (including but not limited to metadata), chemicals, and systems including any of the foregoing (collectively, “Kodak Business”).  I also understand that, in connection with the Kodak Business, I will be exposed to and may generate information including, but not limited to, technical, marketing, accounting, cost, sales, medical, personnel data, customer lists, vendor lists, production procedures, administrative and service information (hereinafter collectively “Kodak Proprietary Information”).  I further understand that Kodak requires its employees to assign to it all right, title and interest in and to all worldwide inventions, discoveries, improvements, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, mask works, any and all other copyrightable subject matter, and any application for any of the foregoing (hereinafter separately and collectively called “Rights”) within or arising out of any field of employment in which they work during their employment by Kodak and for a period of time after termination of employment from Kodak as described more fully below, and that this Agreement is essential for the full protection of the Kodak Business.

 

Therefore, in consideration of my employment by Kodak and of certain other benefits to be received by me in connection with such employment, it is understood and agreed as follows:

 

	
1.  

	
Nondisclosure

 

During my employment by Kodak, and thereafter, I will not disclose to any person or entity or make use of any Kodak Proprietary Information, trade secret, or other information of a confidential nature regarding the Kodak Business or the commercial, financial, technical or business affairs of Kodak, including such trade secret, proprietary or confidential information of any customer or other entity to which Kodak owes an obligation not to disclose such information, which I acquire during my employment by Kodak, including but not limited to records kept in the ordinary course of business (hereinafter collectively called “Kodak Confidential Information”), except as such disclosure or use may be required in connection with my work as an employee of Kodak.  I understand that this restriction prohibits disclosure to Kodak affiliates and subsidiaries in which Kodak owns less than 80% of the stock, unless I receive written authorization for specific disclosures from my management.

 

	
2.  

	
Assignment of Rights

 

	
2.1  

	
I hereby sell, assign and transfer to Kodak all of my right, title and interest in and to all Rights that, during my employment by Kodak and within two (2) years following termination of my employment from Kodak, are made or conceived by me, alone or with others, that (i) are within or arise out of any general field of the Kodak Business in which I have been employed or have worked during my employment by Kodak; or (ii) arise out of any work I perform or information I received regarding the Kodak Business which I received while employed by Kodak; or (iii) arise from work that Kodak authorizes me to perform for or on behalf of any person or entity affiliated with Kodak.

 

	
2.2  

	
While employed in California, no employee will be required to make an assignment of any invention to the extent prohibited by California Labor Code §2870(a) (a copy of which will be made available to any employee upon request).

 

	
2.3  

	
I will fully disclose to Kodak as promptly as available all information known or possessed by me concerning the Rights referred to in the preceding section 2.1, and upon request by Kodak and without any further remuneration in any form to me by Kodak, but at the expense of Kodak, execute all applications for patents and for copyright registrations, assignments thereof and other instruments and do all things which Kodak deems necessary to vest and maintain in it the entire right, title and interest in and to all such Rights.

 

 

  

14

 

 

	
3.  

	
Improper Competition

 

	
3.1  

	
The restrictions contained in this section 3 will apply during my employment by Kodak and continue after the termination of my employment for any reason (whether voluntary or involuntary or with or without cause) for a period equal to the total number of months I was employed by Kodak, whether continuously or not, but not for fewer than six (6) months nor more than eighteen (18) months after such termination (the “Post Employment Period”).

 

	
3.2  

	
During the period described in section 3.1 following termination of my employment by Kodak, I will, prior to accepting employment with a Competing Business (as defined in section 3.3), inform that Competing Business of the existence of this Agreement and provide a copy to that Competing Business.

 

	
3.3  

	
While employed by Kodak and during the Post-Employment Period, I will not work, be employed by, consult, advise, assist or engage in any business or activity that: (a) competes with any area of the Kodak Business in or with which I worked at Kodak (a “Competing Business”) during the two (2) years immediately preceding termination of my Kodak employment; and (b) involves subject matter(s) about which I gained Kodak Confidential Information during the two (2) years immediately preceding termination of my Kodak employment.  Prior to accepting employment, working, consulting, advising or assisting in or with any Competing Business, I agree to: (a) provide such Competing Business with a copy of this Agreement: (b) advise my Kodak supervisor or an appropriate Kodak Human Resources representative of my intent to accept such position; and (c) at Kodak’s request, to provide information and/or facilitate Kodak’s communication with such Competing Business concerning the nature, scope and responsibilities of such position.

 

	
3.4  

	
During the Post-Employment Period, the restrictions of section 3.3 will apply only to my work or activities within the relevant geographic area(s) or with the accounts, as defined in this section.

 

	
3.4.1  

	
If I was employed by Kodak in a sales or service job immediately prior to the termination of my employment, and if my responsibilities were confined to specific territories, accounts, or regions, then the restrictions will apply to:   (a) any and all sales or service territories, or regions in which I worked within the two (2) years prior to termination of my employment and, (b) the then existing accounts and prospective accounts of Kodak with which I worked within the two (2) years immediately preceding termination of my employment with Kodak.

 

	
3.4.2  

	
If, immediately prior to the termination of my Kodak employment: (a) I was employed by Kodak in a sales or service job and my responsibilities were not confined to specific territories, accounts or regions, or (b) if I was employed by Kodak in any other capacity, then the relevant geographic area(s) will consist of the United States and any other country to which my responsibilities extended, unless a narrower geographic area would be sufficient to protect from disclosure the Kodak Confidential Information of which I have knowledge.

 

	
3.4.3  

	
I understand and agree that the foregoing geographic restrictions are necessary in light of the international scope of the Kodak Business and the business of Kodak’s competitors, and that the disclosure or use anywhere of Kodak Confidential Information to or for the benefit of a Competing Business would irreparably harm Kodak.

 

	
3.4.4  

	
If during the Post-Employment Period, this Agreement prohibits me from accepting an offer of full-time employment consistent with my skills, abilities, and education solely because of the provisions of this section 3, and if I provide to Kodak proof of such offer and rejection, the provisions of this section 3 shall thereafter continue to bind me only as long as Kodak pays me, for each month in which I am unable to secure a position consistent with my skills, abilities, and education, an amount equal to 1/12th of my annual total target compensation at the time of termination (exclusive of employee benefits, non-recurring bonuses, vacation pay and/or other special compensation), less any severance, separation or termination benefits or the like that I am entitled to receive from Kodak for the same pay period, and less any compensation I receive during the same period in the form of unemployment insurance or in exchange for any employment, consulting or other work I have undertaken.  Any such payments will also be less all amounts that Kodak is required by law to withhold.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, I understand that if Kodak declines or ceases to make one or more payments to me due to my failure to comply with the restrictions and obligations I have agreed to under the terms of this Agreement, or for any of the reasons enumerated in Section 3.4.6 below, I will not be excused from, and will continue to be subject to, all of the restrictions and obligations set forth in this section 3.

 

	
3.4.5  

	
In return for any payments made by Kodak under section 3.4.4, I agree to make conscientious, aggressive and continuing efforts to find other employment or income consistent with my skills, abilities and education but not prohibited by this section 3.  Within seven (7) days of Kodak’s request, I will provide documentation satisfactory to Kodak of my efforts to obtain employment or income, all employment, contracting, or consulting offers I have received during the Post-Employment Period, the amount of any income received from employment (including self-employment), contracting, consulting, or any other work performed by me, and the identity of the employer offering employment, or other entity requesting contracting or consulting services or other work, and any other information or documents reasonably necessary for Kodak to verify my income and employment status.

 

	
3.4.6  

	
Kodak, at its option and sole discretion, may decline to make post-employment compensation payments:

 

	
(1)  

	
for any month during which I, in the reasonable determination of Kodak, have not conscientiously sought employment, or

 

	
(2)  

	
for any month during which I have failed to provide documentation requested by Kodak, as provided for above, or

 

	
(3)  

	
if I breach this Agreement or any other post-employment obligations I may owe Kodak; or

 

	
(4)  

	
if I reject an offer of employment that Kodak does not deem to be in violation of section 3.3 above; or

 

	
(5)  

	
by giving me written permission to accept available employment or by giving me a written release from some or all of the obligations of section 3 of this Agreement (in which case, the terms of such release shall govern my obligations for the remainder of the Post-Employment Period); or

 

	
(6)  

	
if I am terminated from Kodak or any subsequent employment, contracting, or consulting engagement “for cause,” which as defined herein includes, but is not limited to, the following:

 

	
·  

	
neglect of duties, failure to follow policies or supervisor’s directives, or insubordination;

 

	
·  

	
dishonesty, deception, fraud, or breach of trust or loyalty in connection with the affairs of an employer;

 

	
·  

	
conviction of any felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor, other than a minor traffic offense;

 

	
·  

	
any act or omission in the scope of employment that places an employer in violation of any applicable law or regulation; or

 

	
·  

	
breach of any of the material terms or conditions contained in this Agreement.

 

	
3.5  

	
I understand that this section 3 will not be effective at any time during which I am employed by Kodak in the State of California.

 

 

  

15

 

 

	
4.  

	
Nonsolicitation

 

During my Kodak employment and for a period of one (1) year after termination of my employment for any reason (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or with or without cause), I will not, directly or indirectly, either for myself or for the benefit of any other person or entity:  (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Kodak to leave the employ of Kodak, (ii) in any way interfere with the relationships between Kodak and any employee of Kodak, (iii) employ or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any person who has been an employee of Kodak during the six months immediately preceding such employment or (iv) solicit, entice, call upon or in any way for the purpose of diverting or taking away or attempting to divert or take away any of Kodak’s customers and suppliers to do business with a Competing Business.

 

	
5.  

	
Return of Property

 

I agree that, upon termination of my employment for any reason (whether voluntary or involuntary or with or without cause), I will immediately return to Kodak, (i) all Kodak Confidential Information in any form (including without limitation printed, handwritten, and electronically-stored materials or information), together with all copies, thereof, within my possession, custody  or control and; (ii) all other Kodak property in my possession, custody or control, including, but not limited to, office keys, identification badges or passes, Kodak credit cards, automobiles, computer equipment and software (“Kodak Property”).  Under no circumstances will I deliver or give such Kodak Confidential Information or Kodak Property to any person or entity without Kodak management’s advance written permission and, upon Kodak’s request, I will verify that I have not done so.

 

	
6.  

	
At-Will Employment

 

I understand that, regardless of any statement made to me or contained in any handbook, policy statement, or other document, my employment will be “at-will”.  That is, I will be free to terminate my employment at any time, for any reason, and Kodak is free to do the same.  No other agreement relating to this issue will be effective unless it is contained in a written agreement which:  (1) mentions me by name; (2) references this Agreement by name and date; (3) specifically acknowledges that it is intended to amend this Agreement; and (4) is signed by a Kodak corporate officer and me.

 

	
7.  

	
Business Conduct

 

I understand that Kodak is an ethical company and that I am required to adhere to Kodak’s policies and procedures regarding ethical business practices, including but not limited to, Kodak’s conflict of interest policy and policies concerning the protection of Kodak Confidential Information.  I understand that my failure to do so constitutes a breach of this Agreement.

 

	
8.  

	
Miscellaneous.

 

	
8.1  

	
I agree that Kodak has provided me with valuable consideration for accepting the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth in section 3.  Among other things, that consideration includes my employment and/or continued employment and certain benefits to be received by me in connection with such employment, some of which may be conditioned upon a validly executed Employee’s Agreement.

 

	
8.2  

	
This Agreement replaces any and all previous agreements relating to the same or similar matters that I may have entered into with Kodak with respect to my present or any future period of employment by Kodak.  Further, the terms of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Kodak and shall be binding upon my heirs, assigns, administrators and representatives.  No  oral agreement, statement or representation shall be effective to alter the terms of this Agreement.

 

	
8.3  

	
I understand and agree that a breach of the provisions of this Agreement will cause Kodak irreparable injury that may not be compensable by receipt of money damages.  I, therefore, expressly agree that Kodak shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies legally available, to injunctive and/or other equitable relief, including but not limited to temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief, to prevent or remedy a breach of this Agreement, or any part hereof, and to payment of reasonable attorneys fees it incurs in enforcing this Agreement.

 

	
8.4  

	
If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is for any reason held unacceptably broad, it shall be construed or rewritten (blue-lined) so as to be enforceable to the extent of the greatest protection to Kodak under existing law.

 

	
8.5  

	
All titles or headings in this agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision herein.

 

	
8.6  

	
THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPALS OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.  I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN AND ADJUDICATED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, UNLESS THERE IS NO BASIS FOR FEDERAL JURISDICTION, IN WHICH CASE SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT IN AND ADJUDICATED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SUPREME COURT, COUNTY OF MONROE.

Fort Wayne, Indiana  46809

		
	Re:
	Retirement and Consulting Agreement

Dear Scott:
On behalf of the Board of Directors and all of Franklin Electric, I want to thank you for your dedicated service as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the past 11 plus years. We appreciate the hard work and dedication you have put forth to guide us through what at times have been challenging periods, and we are stronger and better suited to compete in today’s global economy as a result of your efforts.  We are extremely pleased you have agreed to serve as Non-Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors and also to continue to provide transition and consulting services.
This Retirement and Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) will constitute the full agreement between you and Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (the “Company”) with respect to your retirement from the Company’s employment and your service as a non-employee director and as a consultant.
Retirement
Your employment with the Company will end effective as of the conclusion of the May, 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (your “Retirement Date”).  In connection with your retirement:

1.    You will be paid your salary earned through your Retirement Date.
2.    Your outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards granted to you under the Company’s Stock Plans will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement.
3.    You will be entitled to a cash bonus for 2014 as explained below.
4.    The Employment Agreement between you and the Company will terminate as of your Retirement Date.  Your active participation in all of the Company’s retirement plans, health and welfare plans and employee policies and programs will end on your Retirement Date, and you will be entitled to any benefits thereunder in accordance with the terms of such plans, policies and programs.
Non-Employee Director Compensation
For the period beginning with your Retirement Date and ending at the conclusion of the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, you will serve as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, with the duties and responsibilities are described on Exhibit A.  This is a non-officer, non-employee, independent 

contractor position.  For such Board service, you will be entitled to the following compensation (which will be paid quarterly in arrears):
1.    A $60,000 annual retainer.
2.    An additional $125,000 retainer for services as Non-Executive Chairman.
Consulting Duties and Compensation
For the period beginning with your Retirement Date and ending December 31, 2014, you will provide to the Company the consulting services described on Exhibit A, as well as any additional consulting services as may be mutually agreed upon by you and the Board of Directors.  You will be compensated for these consulting services as follows:
1.    You will be entitled to $218,000, which will be paid monthly in arrears over the eight month period, with the first payment to be made on or about June 1, 2014.
2.    You will participate in the Company’s Annual Bonus Program for 2014, with a target bonus opportunity equal to $592,500.  This target amount is based on the total non-bonus cash compensation paid to you in 2014.  The target bonus will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Annual Bonus Program based on actual 2014 performance, with 100% of the award opportunity based on the Company’s financial goals.
3.    The Company will reimburse you for any reasonable expenses incurred by you in the performance of the consulting services.
4.    In the event of your death prior to December 31, 2014, the remainder of your monthly payments and a prorata portion of the target annual bonus (based on the period of time from January 1, 2014 through the date of your death) will be paid to your designated beneficiary.
Except as stated above and except for your compensation as a non-employee director, all other benefits, bonuses and compensation will end on your Retirement Date.  As a consultant, you will be an independent contractor, and not an employee of the Company.  You will not be entitled to continue active participation in or receive benefits under any other Company plans, policies or programs maintained for employees, including life, disability, pension, profit sharing, stock-based, vacation or fringe benefit programs, and your service as a consultant will not be included in determining service for any reason under such plans, policies or programs.
Other Provisions
1.    You agree that you will comply with the terms of the Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement in effect between you and the Company; provided, however, that the restrictive periods described therein will end 18 months after the end of your service as a consultant (June 30, 2016), all references therein relating to employment shall be deemed to include your service as a consultant, and all references to termination of employment shall mean termination of service as both an employee and a consultant.
2.    You agree that you may only serve as a chairman, lead or presiding director, or similar role, or as a chief executive officer, or similar role, at another public company if approved by the remaining Board members upon recommendation from the Governance Committee.
3.    In consideration of the payments and benefits provided to you above, you hereby release and forever discharge the Company, and all of its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, 

and other representatives, whether current or former (collectively “Released Parties”), from any and all obligations, rights, claims, and damages, of any and every kind, nature and character, known or unknown which arise from or relate to your employment with the Company or your retirement therefrom, or any past actions or omissions of any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release the Company of its obligations to you under this Agreement or any indemnification obligations to you under the Company’s bylaws, articles of incorporation, or Indiana law.
*    *    *    *
Once again Scott, my sincerest thanks for all of the work you have done on our behalf, and I look forward to continuing to work with you on the Company’s Board of Directors.
Sincerely,

/s/ David A. Roberts
