USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of the Common Stock offered hereby.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK
The following is a brief description of the Common
Stock.
Dividend Rights
Each share of the Common Stock ranks equally with all
other shares of Common Stock with respect to dividends.
Dividends may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid by
Kodak at such times as the Board of Directors determines, all
pursuant to the provisions of the New Jersey Business Corporation
Act.
Voting Rights
Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per
share of such stock held. The Common Stock does not have
cumulative voting rights. Holders of Common Stock are entitled
to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval under New
Jersey law and Kodak's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
By-Laws, and to elect the members of the Board of Directors.
Directors are divided into three classes, each such class, as
nearly as possible, having the same number of directors. At
each annual meeting of the shareholders, the directors chosen to
succeed those whose terms have then expired shall be identified
as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and
shall be elected by the shareholders for a term expiring at the
third succeeding annual meeting of the shareholders.
Liquidation Rights
Holders of Common Stock are entitled on liquidation to
receive all assets which remain after payment to creditors and
holders of preferred stock.
Preemptive Rights
Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive
rights. There are no provisions for redemption, conversion
rights, sinking funds, or liability for further calls or
assessments by Kodak with respect to the Common Stock.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
All of the shares of Common Stock that may be offered
hereby from time to time will be owned and offered by or on
behalf of the Retirement Income Plan. The Kodak Retirement
Income Plan Committee (the "Committee") is the named fiduciary of
the Retirement Income Plan pursuant to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA").
The Retirement Income Plan, created in 1928, is a tax-
qualified, defined benefit pension plan for virtually all U.S.
employees of Kodak. Retirement income benefits are based upon an
individual's "average participating compensation," which is the
average of three years of those earnings described in the
Retirement Income Plan as "participating compensation." For an
employee with up to 35 years of accrued service, the annual
normal retirement income benefit is computed by multiplying the
number of years of accrued service by the sum of (a) 1.3% of
"average participating compensation" ("APC") for the employee's
final three years, plus (b) 0.3% of APC in excess of the average
Social Security wage base for the employee's final three years.
For an employee with more than 35 years of accrued service, the
amount computed above is increased by 1% for each year in excess
of 35 years. The retirement income benefit is not subject to any
deductions for Social Security benefits or other offsets.
Officers are entitled to benefits on the same basis as other
employees. The normal form of benefit is an annuity, but a lump
sum payment is available as an option for benefits accrued prior
to January 1, 1996.
Under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, the
Retirement Income Plan is permitted to invest up to 10% of its
assets in qualifying employer securities, including shares of
Common Stock issued by Kodak. Between November 17, 1995 and
December 18, 1995 (inclusive), Kodak contributed shares of Common
Stock to the Retirement Income Plan in lieu of current and
certain future cash contributions. The Committee, on behalf of
the Retirement Income Plan and consistent with its
responsibilities under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code,
decided to accept the contribution. Kodak decided to contribute
the shares of Common Stock because it believed the investment
would be an appropriate investment for, and would improve the
funding position of, the Retirement Income Plan.
The Committee appointed The Bank of New York (together
with any successor, the "Investment Manager") to serve as an
investment manager for the Retirement Income Plan with respect to
the management and disposition of all of the shares of Common
Stock held by the Retirement Income Plan in a separate investment
fund (the "Fund") pursuant to a Management Agreement dated
November 14, 1995 between the Committee and the Investment
Manager (the "Management Agreement").
The Investment Manager has responsibility to manage the
shares of Common Stock held by the Retirement Income Plan in the
Fund in accordance with and subject to ERISA and the Management
Agreement. The Investment Manager has the authority and
discretion to cause the Retirement Income Plan to retain such
shares or sell all or any portion thereof from time to time as it
may deem appropriate, and to direct the voting of and the
exercise of all other rights relating to such shares.
As of September 30, 1995, the Retirement Income Plan
did not have beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock.
Between November 17, 1995 and December 18, 1995 (inclusive),
Kodak contributed 7,354,316 shares of Common Stock to the
Retirement Income Plan having an aggregate value of $499,999,237
at the time of their contribution. All shares of Common Stock
contributed by Kodak to the Retirement Income Plan were treasury
shares of Kodak prior to their contribution. Such shares
represent approximately 2.1% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of September 30, 1995 (not including such shares).
Kodak will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale
of any of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. All of such
proceeds will be for the account of the Selling Stockholder and
for the benefit of employees and retirees and their beneficiaries
participating in the Retirement Income Plan.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholder may sell the Common Stock from
time to time in one or more transactions inside and/or outside
the United States (i) through underwriters, (ii) through dealers,
(iii) through brokers or agents or (iv) directly to purchasers.
If the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder requires a
Prospectus Supplement, any such Prospectus Supplement with
respect to the Common Stock being offered thereby will set forth
the terms of the offering of such Common Stock, including the
names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the sale
of such Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to be sold and any applicable commissions or discounts.
The net proceeds to the Selling Stockholder also will be set
forth in any such Prospectus Supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the Common Stock
being sold will be acquired by the underwriters for their own
account and distribution of the Common Stock by such underwriters
may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Unless
otherwise set forth in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to
the sale of the Common Stock being offered thereby, the
obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Common Stock
will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the
underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such Common Stock
if any of such Common Stock is purchased. The initial public
offering price of any shares of Common Stock and any discounts or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be
changed from time to time.
If dealers are used in the sale, unless otherwise
indicated in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to the sale
of the Common Stock being offered thereby, the Selling
Stockholder will sell such Common Stock to the dealers as
principals. The dealers may then resell such Common Stock to the
public at varying prices to be determined by such dealers at the
time of resale.
Common Stock may also be sold through brokers or agents
designated by the Selling Stockholder from time to time or
directly by the Selling Stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated
in any Prospectus Supplement sales through a broker will be in
ordinary brokerage transactions in which customary commissions
will be paid and sales through any other agent will be on a best
efforts basis for the period of the agent's appointment.
The Selling Stockholder and any underwriters, dealers
or agents that participate in the distribution of Common Stock
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act and any profit on the sale of such Common Stock
and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation
received by any such underwriter, dealer or agent may be deemed
to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act.
Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the
distribution of the Common Stock may be entitled under agreements
entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments
which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make
in respect thereof. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be
customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services
for, the Company and/or the Selling Stockholder in the ordinary
course of business.
To comply with the securities laws of certain
jurisdictions, if applicable, the Common Stock will be offered or
sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain jurisdictions the
Common Stock may not be offered or sold unless it has been
registered or qualified for sale in such jurisdictions or any
exemption from registration or qualification is available and is
complied with.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as
of November 17, 1995, by and between Eastman Kodak Company and
The Bank of New York as Investment Manager for the Kodak
Retirement Income Plan, all expenses of the registration of the
Common Stock will be paid by the Company, including, without
limitation, Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance
with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that
the Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and
selling commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholder will be
indemnified by the Company against certain civil liabilities,
including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or will
be entitled to contribution in connection therewith.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The validity of the Common Stock will be passed upon
for the Company by Gary P. Van Graafeiland, its Senior Vice
President and General Counsel.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements incorporated in
this Prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994, as amended by Form 10-K/A

Item 15. Indemnification.
Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation
Act empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
and employees against (a) expenses or liabilities in connection
with any proceeding involving such persons by reason of their
being such directors, officers, or employees, other than a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, if (i) such
directors, officers, or employees acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and, (ii) with respect to any
criminal proceeding, such directors, officers, or employees had
no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful, and
(b) expenses in connection with any proceeding by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor involving
such persons by reason of their being such directors, officers,

in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Article 8, Section 2 of the Company's by-laws provides for
indemnification, to the full extent permitted by law, of the
Company's directors, officers, and employees. In addition, the
Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance
insuring its directors and officers against that which they
cannot be indemnified by the Company.
In the event of an underwritten offering of any Common
Stock, the underwriters will agree to indemnify the Company and
its directors and officers against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, unless
the information required to be included in such post-
effective amendment is contained in a periodic report
filed by Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
incorporated herein by reference;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement,
unless the information required to be included in such
post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic
report filed by Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and incorporated herein by reference; and
(iii) To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the
provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ARTICLE 2. DEFINITIONS
The terms used in this Plan shall have the following meanings
unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context.
2.01 Accrued Benefit
The "Accrued Benefit" for each Participant is the Normal
Retirement Benefit determined according to Section 5.01.
2.02 Accrued Service
"Accrued Service" is the aggregate of all periods of employment
as a Covered Employee which, as a component of the Plan
formula, is used to calculate the amount of the Participant's
Accrued Benefit and is subject to the following rules:
(a) Credit for Employment as a Covered Employee. Accrued
Service credit will be given for each Hour of Service
completed as a Covered Employee.
(1) Employment as a Regular Full-Time Employee,
Supplementary Full-Time Employee or Conditional
Full-Time Employee. If the Covered Employee is a
Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary Full-
Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time Employee,
190 Hours of Service will be credited for any
calendar month in which he completes at least one
Hour of Service. One year of Accrued Service will
be credited if a Covered Employee who is a Regular
Full-Time Employee, Supplementary Full-Time
Employee or Conditional Full-Time Employee is
credited with 2280 or more Hours of Service during
a Plan Year. If such a Covered Employee is
credited with fewer than 2280 Hours of Service in
a Plan Year, credit will be given for a partial
year of Accrued Service based on the ratio that
such Hours of Service bear to 2280.
(2) Employment Other Than as a Regular Full-Time
Employee, Supplementary Full-Time Employee or
Conditional Full-Time Employee.
(A) General Rule. If the Covered Employee is not
a Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary
Full-Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time
Employee, one year of Accrued Service will be
credited if a Covered Employee who is not a
Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary
Full-Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time
Employee is credited with 1700 or more Hours
of Service during a Plan Year. If
such a Covered Employee is credited with
fewer than 1700 Hours of Service, credit will
be given for a partial year of Accrued
Service based on the ratio that such Hours of
Service bear to 1700.
(B) Special Rule for Covered Employees in New
York City. For periods in which Covered
Employee who is not a Regular Full-Time
Employee, Supplementary Full-Time Employee or
Conditional Full-Time Employee is employed in
New York City, where the Employer has
adopted, due to local custom, a work week of
35 hours, the number 1487.5 will be
substituted for the number 1700 in
subparagraph (A).
(C) Special Rule for Service Credited Through
July 1, 1973. For periods through June 30,
1973, Accrued Service for a Covered Employee
as of June 30, 1973 who was not employed as a
Regular Full-Time Employee on that date will
be calculated in accordance with this
subparagraph; provided, however, that for
periods during which the Covered Employee was
employed by Eastman Chemical Company, this
subparagraph (C) shall not apply. For such a
Covered Employee who was not employed as a
physician, the Covered Employee will be
deemed to have been employed as a Regular
Full-Time Employee through July 1, 1973,
under the terms of the Prior Plan as in
effect on July 1, 1973. For such a Covered
Employee who was employed as a physician, the
Covered Employee will be credited with
Accrued Service for periods through June 30,
1973 equal to Total Service credited before
July 1, 1973 multiplied by the ratio of the
Participant's Accrued Service for the period
from July 1, 1973 through December 31, 1976
divided by Total Service for the period from
July 1, 1973 through December 31, 1976.
(b) Credit for Periods of Disability. Accrued Service for
periods of disability will be credited to a Disabled
Individual who again becomes a Covered Employee for at
least one year from the date of his return or who
becomes eligible to retire pursuant to Section 4.05
while a Disabled Individual or within one year of his
date of return in accordance with the following rules:
(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) below, Accrued
Service credit will be added to Accrued Service
credit given in accordance with subsection (a)
above for each completed month while a Disabled
Individual in accordance with the following rules:
(A) If a Covered Employee was employed as a
Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary
Full-Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time
Employee at the time the disability
commenced, each month of such disability will
be deemed to consist of 190 Hours of Service.
(B) If a Covered Employee was employed other than
as a Regular Full-Time Employee,
Supplementary Full-Time Employee or
Conditional Full-Time Employee at the time
the disability commenced, each month of such
disability will be deemed to consist of the
average number of monthly Hours of Service
during the twelve months immediately
preceding the month during which the Covered
Employee last performed duties for the
Employer.
(2) The amount of Accrued Service credited under
paragraph (1) above (if any) is limited to an
amount which, when combined with Accrued Service
credited under subsection (a), produces a Normal
Retirement Benefit that is less than or equal to:
(A) for a Participant whose effective date of
disability occurred before January 1, 1993:
(i) 40% of the Participant's IASR limiting
IASR in each case to the dollar limit in
effect under Code section 401(a)(17)
effective January 1 of the Plan Year in
which Accrued Service is credited under
this subsection (b).
reduced by
(ii) one-half of the Participant's primary
Social Security Disability Income
Benefit.
(B) for a Participant whose effective date of
disability occurred on or after January 1,
1993:
(i) 70% of the Participant's IASR, limiting
IASR to the dollar limit in effect under
Code section 401(a)(17) effective
January 1 of the Plan Year in which
Accrued Service is credited under this
subsection (b).
reduced by
(ii) the Participant's primary Social
Security Disability Income Benefit.
(3) In no event shall Accrued Service be credited for
periods of disability after a Participant has
elected to receive or begins to receive his
Accrued Benefit from the Plan.
(c) Credit for Periods of Unpaid Leave. For purposes of
calculating Accrued Service under this Section, Hours
of Service will be credited to a person who is absent
from employment, and who has been granted a leave
under the Employer's Leave of Absence policy, in
accordance with the following rules:
(1) If a Covered Employee was employed as a Regular
Full-Time Employee, Supplementary Full-Time
Employee or Conditional Full-Time Employee at the
time the leave commenced, each month of such leave
will be deemed to consist of 190 Hours of Service;
provided, however, that for periods after December
31, 1994, a month of such leave will be deemed to
consist of Hours of Service only if the month is
one of the first twelve months of such leave.
(2) If a Covered Employee was employed other than as a
Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary Full-
Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time Employee at
the time the leave commenced, each month of such
leave will be deemed to consist of the average
number of monthly Hours of Service during the
twelve months immediately preceding the month
during which the Covered Employee last performed
duties for the Employer; provided, however, that
for periods after December 31, 1994, a month of
such leave will be deemed to consist of Hours of
Service only if the month is one of the first

Service.
(2) If the Covered Employee was employed other than as
a Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary Full-
Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time Employee at
the time the paid leave commenced, each month of
such leave will be deemed to consist of the
average number of monthly Hours of Service during
the twelve months immediately preceding the month
during which the Covered Employee last performed
duties for the Employer.
(e) Credit for Periods of Military Leave. For purposes of
calculating Accrued Service under this Section, Hours
of Service will be credited to a Covered Employee for
periods of military leave in accordance with the
following rules:
(1) If the Covered Employee is reemployed by the
Employer within the time and in the manner
required to entitle the Covered Employee to
reemployment rights and benefits under the
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
Rights Act of 1994:
(A) If the Covered Employee was employed as a
Regular Full-Time Employee, Supplementary
Full-Time Employee or Conditional Full-Time

deemed to consist of 190 Hours of Service.
(B) If the Covered Employee was employed other
than as a Regular Full-Time Employee,
Supplementary Full-Time Employee or
Conditional Full-Time Employee at the time
the military leave commenced, each month of
such leave will be deemed to consist of the
average number of monthly Hours of Service

(2) If the Covered Employee is not reemployed by the

however, that for periods after December 31,
1994, a month of such leave will be deemed to
consist of Hours of Service only if the month
is one of the first twelve months of such
leave.
(B) If a Covered Employee was employed other than
as a Regular Full-Time Employee,
Supplementary Full-Time Employee or
Conditional Full-Time Employee at the time
the leave commenced, each month of such leave
will be deemed to consist of the average
number of monthly Hours of Service
during the twelve months immediately
preceding the month during which the Covered
Employee last performed duties for the
Employer; provided, however, that for periods
after December 31, 1994, a month of such
leave will be deemed to consist of Hours of
Service only if the month is one of the first
twelve months of such leave.
(f) Credit for Periods of Employment with Company Not
Participating in the Plan. Except as indicated in
Appendix D, Accrued Service will be credited for
periods of employment with an Affiliated Company or
any other entity that participates in the Plan only if
and from the date such entity begins to participate in

(D) An Employee who terminates employment and who
is reemployed within 12 months will be
credited with Vesting Service for the
intervening period of time.
(E) Notwithstanding the rules set forth in
subparagraphs (A) through (D) above, in the
case of an Employee who had completed at
least five but less than ten years of Vesting
Service as of January 1, 1986, Vesting
Service will be calculated using both the
method described in subsection (a)(1) and the
method described in subparagraphs (A) through
(D) above, and the Employee will then be
credited with Vesting Service in accordance
with the method of calculation which produces
the larger amount of Vesting Service.
(b) Except as indicated in subsection (a) above, Vesting
Service is credited only for periods of employment
with an Affiliated Company, and not for periods of
employment with any entity prior to the date such
entity becomes an Affiliated Company. Furthermore,
Vesting Service will be credited for any period of
absence or for any period of time after the Employee
ceases to be an Employee only in accordance with
subsection (a)(2)(C) and (D). For periods prior to
January 1, 1995, in the case of a person who has been
granted a
leave under the Employer's Leave of Absence policy,
Vesting Service will be credited for the period of
leave upon the person's reemployment immediately upon
expiration of the leave prior to January 1, 1995.
ARTICLE 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION
3.01 Employees Covered
An Employee becomes a Participant under the Plan on the date on
which he first becomes a Covered Employee.
3.02 Special Rules for Employment with Entities other than the

If a Participant ceases to be a Covered Employee but his
employment continues under any of the following circumstances,
his employment will not considered to have terminated and the
following special rules will apply:
(a) Transfers to or Reemployment by an Affiliated Company.
If the former Covered Employee is an Active

(2) The Participant's APC will include compensation
from the Affiliated Company up to the date he
ceases to be an Active Participant.
(3) The Participant's Accrued Service will include
only Accrued Service up to the date he ceased to

Service will include only Total Service and
Vesting Service up to the date he ceased to be an
Active Participant.
(2) The Participant's APC will include only

(3) The Participant's Accrued Service will include
only Accrued Service up to the date he ceased to

ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS
4.01 Normal Retirement
An Active Participant who reaches Normal Retirement Age is
entitled to a Normal Retirement Benefit. No minimum service is
required for a Normal Retirement Benefit.
A Participant who works past age 65 for an Affiliated Company
other than as a Limited Service Employee will be notified by
personal delivery or first class mail that KRIPCO intends to
delay commencement of benefit payments and the rules governing
suspensions.
4.02 Early Retirement
An Active Participant who:
(a) has both reached age 55 and completed at least 10
years of Total Service; or
(b) has attained a combined age and Total Service of at
least 75, and whose employment has terminated within
the meaning of Section 4.07 before Normal Retirement
Age is entitled to elect an Early Retirement Benefit.
4.03 Deferred Retirement
An Active Participant employed by an Affiliated Company beyond
his Normal Retirement Date will be entitled to a Deferred
Retirement Benefit upon termination of employment with the
Affiliated Companies or, if earlier, upon reaching his
Mandatory Commencement Date.
An Active Participant who has reached his Mandatory
Commencement Date will be considered an Active Participant
until his employment has terminated within the meaning of
Section 4.07.
Employment beyond the Normal Retirement Date requires the
approval of the Board for an Employee who, for the two-year
period immediately prior to such date, is employed in a bona
fide executive or high policymaking position, and whose annual
retirement benefit, consisting of the benefit payable under
this Plan pursuant to Section 5.01 and the benefit payable
under the Kodak Excess Retirement Income Plan and the Kodak
Unfunded Retirement Income Plan, is at least $44,000. In these
cases, if an Employee is working in a location where state law
provides for employment continuation, such continuation will be
permitted in accordance with the terms of such law.
4.04 Vested Benefit
An Active Participant whose employment has terminated within
the meaning of Section 4.07 prior to satisfying the eligibility
requirement for an Early Retirement Benefit or a Normal
Retirement Benefit and after completing 5 or more years of
Vesting Service is entitled to a Vested Benefit.

credited to the Disabled Individual as of the date he ceased to
be an Active Participant.
4.06 Amount, Form and Timing of Benefits
The amount, form and timing of benefits payable will be
determined in accordance with Articles 5, 6, and 7.
4.07 Termination of Employment
A Participant is not eligible to receive benefits under the
Plan until his employment terminates. Generally, a Participant
is considered to have terminated his employment only when he
has voluntarily or involuntarily severed his service as an
Employee with any Affiliated Company. A Participant who is no
longer an Employee will not be considered to have terminated
his employment for the purpose of entitlement to benefit
commencement in the following situations:
(a) Status as a Disabled Individual. Ceasing to be an
Employee because of disability shall constitute a
termination of a Participant's service for the purpose
of entitlement to the commencement of benefits under
Articles 4, 5, 6 or 7 only upon the earliest of the
following events:
(1) the Participant withdraws any application for
long-term disability benefits and irrevocably
waives any rights he may have under any broad-
based long-term disability plan maintained by the
Employer;
(2) a final determination is made that the individual
is not entitled to receive benefits under a broad-
based long-term disability plan maintained by the
Employer;
(3) benefits under a broad-based long-term disability
plan maintained by the Employer cease under the
terms of such plan;
(4) the Disabled Individual elects an Early Retirement
Benefit after satisfying the requirements of
Section 4.05; or
(5) the Disabled Individual reaches his Normal
Retirement Date.
(b) Transfer to Related Company. The transfer of a
Covered Employee from the employ of an Affiliated
Company to any employer as defined in Section
9.01(a)(2) shall not constitute a termination of the
employee's service for the purpose of entitlement to
the commencement of benefits under Articles 4, 5, 6 or
7.
(c) Transfer to a Subsequent Employer. The transfer of a
Covered Employee from the employ of the Employer to a
subsequent employer as a result of, or in connection
with, a "business disposition" (as defined in (1)
below), shall not be considered to constitute a
termination of the employee's service for the purpose
of determining entitlement to the commencement of
benefits under Articles 4, 5, 6 or 7. An Employee who
ceases to be an Employee of the Employer as a result
of, or in connection with, a business disposition,
shall be considered to have terminated employment for
the purpose of determining entitlement to the
commencement of benefits under Articles 4, 5, 6 or 7
only when he terminates service with such subsequent
employer.
(1) For purposes of this Section, "business
disposition" means any of the following
transactions:
(A) the sale or other transfer to a "subsequent
employer" (as defined in (2) below) of all or
substantially all of the assets used by the
Employee's Employer in a trade or business
conducted by the Employer;
(B) if the Employee was employed by a subsidiary
corporation (within the meaning of Code
section 424(f)) of Eastman Kodak Company, or
by a corporation that is a member of a
controlled group of corporations (within the
meaning of Code section 414(b) as modified by
Code section 415(h)) that includes Eastman
Kodak Company, the liquidation, sale, or
other means of terminating the parent-
subsidiary or controlled group relationship
of the employer with Eastman Kodak Company;
(C) if the Employee was employed by an entity
other than a corporation that, together with
Eastman Kodak Company, is treated as a single
employer (within the meaning of Code section
414(c) as modified by Code section 415(h)),
the liquidation, sale, or other means of
terminating the treatment of the employer and
Eastman Kodak Company as a single employer;
(D) the loss or expiration of a contract with a
government agency and the entry into a
successor contract by a "subsequent employer"
and such government agency;
(E) the sale or other transfer to a "subsequent
employer" of all or substantially all of the
assets used by the Employee's Employer at a
plant, facility, or other business location
of the Employer;
(F) any other sale, transfer, or disposition of
assets of the Employee's Employer to a
"subsequent employer;" or
(G) any change in the contractual arrangements
governing the performance of the Employee's
services where, immediately following the
change in the contractual arrangements, the
former Employee continues to perform
primarily the same services in the same
location for the same recipient.
(2) For purposes of this Section "subsequent employer"
means
(A) any entity that, in connection with the
business disposition, becomes the sponsor of
the Plan or that sponsors a qualified plan to
which assets and liabilities attributable to
the employee's benefits under the Plan are
transferred in connection with the business
disposition;
(B) any entity that, together with an entity
described in subparagraph (A), is treated as
part of a controlled group of corporations or
as a single employer pursuant to Code section
414(b), (c), (m) or (o);
(C) any entity that has maintained, or begins to
maintain a contractual relationship with an
Employer governing the performance of
services either by Employees of such entity
for such Employer or by Employees of such
Employer for such entity; or
(D) any other entity that engages in a business
disposition with Eastman Kodak Company or any
Affiliated Company.
ARTICLE 5. AMOUNT OF BENEFITS5
5.01 Normal Retirement Benefit
The annual benefit payable as a Normal Retirement Benefit is,
subject to any applicable adjustments in Section 5.06, equal
to:
(a) The sum of:
(1) 1.3 percent of that portion of the Participant's
APC not in excess of his ASSB, plus
(2) 1.6 percent of any portion of the Participant's
APC in excess of his ASSB
multiplied by
(b) The Participant's Accrued Service, excluding any
portion of such Accrued Service in excess of 35 years;
plus
(c) The product of subsections (a) and (b) above
multiplied by one-twelfth of 1 percent for each
completed month of Accrued Service in excess of 35
years that the Participant has accrued.
5.02 Early Retirement Benefit
The annual benefit payable as an Early Retirement Benefit is
equal to:
(a) the Normal Retirement Benefit determined according to
the formula in Section 5.01
multiplied by
(b) the applicable factor from either (1) or (2) below
which produces the greater benefit:

*NOTES (Applicable to (1) and (2) above):
A. Factors for periods that are not integral years are
determined by straight-line interpolation between the
factors for the nearest integral years.
B. In certain circumstances and only for periods of service
through December 31, 1994, those of the above factors
which are less than 1.00, will be increased by .05 for
each 2.5 years of Total Service outside of the United
States and Canada, but in no event will the increase yield
a factor greater than 1.00. To qualify for this
acceleration of factors, an Active Participant must have
been located in a country outside of the United States and
Canada, prior to January 1, 1974, as a result of an
assignment from the United States. Furthermore, such a
Participant must have completed five or more years of such
overseas Total Service prior to January 1, 1974, if not
located overseas on December 31, 1973.
C. With respect to benefits accrued through December 31,
1994, but not thereafter, the Early Retirement Benefit for
an Active Participant who is employed by an Affiliated
Company as an aircraft pilot is determined by using the
factors in paragraph (1) for persons with 30 or more years
of Total Service, regardless of the Active Participant's
actual number of years of Total Service.
5.03 Deferred Retirement Benefit
The annual benefit payable as a Deferred Retirement Benefit is
determined in the same manner as the Normal Retirement Benefit
under Section 5.01; provided, however, that the annual Deferred
Retirement Benefit will be no less than the amount which would
have been payable as a Normal Retirement Benefit if the
Participant had terminated employment at his Normal Retirement
Age.
5.04 Vested Benefit
(a) Vested Benefit At Normal Retirement Age. The annual
benefit payable as a Vested Benefit to a Terminated
Vested Participant who has reached Normal Retirement
Age is determined in the same manner as the Normal
Retirement Benefit under Section 5.01, using the APC,
ASSB and Accrued Service in effect on the date
immediately preceding the date on which the Active
Participant became a Terminated Vested Participant.
(b) Vested Benefit Before Normal Retirement Age - Before
Reaching Age 55 or Before Completing 10 Years of Total
Service. The annual benefit payable as a Vested
Benefit to a Terminated Vested Participant who has not
yet reached Normal Retirement Age and who has either
not yet reached age 55 or not been credited with at
least ten years of Total Service is the Actuarial
Equivalent of the Normal Retirement Benefit determined
under Section 5.01, using APC, ASSB and Accrued
Service in effect on the date immediately preceding
the date on which the Active Participant became a
Terminated Vested Participant.
(c) Vested Benefit Before Normal Retirement Age - After
Reaching Age 55 and Completing 10 Years of Total
Service. The annual benefit payable as a Vested
Benefit to a Terminated Vested Participant who has not
yet reached Normal Retirement Age but who has reached
age 55 and has been credited with at least ten years
of Total Service is the greater of (1) or (2) below:
(1) Using APC, ASSB and Accrued Service in effect as
of August 31, 1990,
(A) the Accrued Benefit determined according to
the formula in Section 5.01
multiplied by
(B) the appropriate factor from the following

*NOTES (Applicable to (1)(B) and (2)(B) above):
A. Factors for periods that are not integral years are
determined by straight-line interpolation between the
factors for the nearest integral years.
B. In certain circumstances and only for periods of service
through
December 31, 1994, those of the above factors which are
less than 1.00, will be increased by .05 for each 2.5
years of Total Service outside of the United States and
Canada, but in no event will the increase yield a factor
greater than 1.00. To qualify for this acceleration of
factors, an Active Participant must have been located in a
country outside of the United States and Canada, prior to
January 1, 1974, as a result of an assignment from the
United States. Furthermore, such a Participant must have
completed five or more years of such overseas Total
Service prior to January 1, 1974, if not located overseas
on December 31, 1973.
5.05 Disability Retirement Benefit
The annual benefit payable as a Disability Retirement Benefit
is equal to the Normal Retirement Benefit determined under
Section 5.01 or, if the Disabled Individual is eligible for and
has elected an Early Retirement Benefit, the Early Retirement
Benefit determined under Section 5.02 calculated on the basis
of APC, ASSB and Accrued Service credited to the Disabled
Individual immediately prior to his Annuity Starting Date.
5.06 Adjustment to Amount of Benefits
(a) Benefit Option Adjustments. The Normal Retirement
Benefit, Early Retirement Benefit, Deferred Retirement
Benefit, Vested Benefit or Disability Retirement Benefit
will be payable monthly on the first day of each month
commencing as of the Annuity Starting Date continuing for
the life of the Participant and shall cease upon his death
unless an alternative payment method applies under Article
7. If the benefit is paid in accordance with any other
payment method, the benefit payable shall be the Actuarial
Equivalent of the present value of the benefit which would
otherwise be payable to the Participant. For a
Participant who has not reached Normal Retirement Age and
who is entitled to an Early Retirement Benefit, the
present value will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the
Early Retirement Benefit. In all other cases, the present
value will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the Normal
Retirement Benefit or, for those who have passed Normal
Retirement Date, the Actuarial Equivalent of the Deferred
Retirement Benefit. If the payment method changes after
the Annuity Starting Date, Actuarial Equivalence will be
determined as of the effective date of the payment method
change.
(b) Death Benefit Charges for Coverage Before Annuity
Starting Date. For any period that OSIB, PRSB or QPSA
coverage was in effect for a Participant, the
Participant's Accrued Benefit will be reduced as
follows:
(1) By 1/48 of 1 percent of the Accrued Benefit for
each full or partial month of OSIB coverage,
beginning with the first day of the second month
for which the coverage is initially effective;
(2) By 1/24 of 1 percent of the Accrued Benefit for
each full or partial month of PRSB coverage for a
Terminated Vested Participant, beginning with the
first day of the fourth month for which the
coverage is initially effective; and
(3) By 1/24 of 1 percent of the Accrued Benefit for
each full or partial month of QPSA coverage
beginning with the first day of the fourth month
for which the coverage is initially effective.
If a Participant revokes his earlier election of OSIB
coverage or elects to discontinue PRSB or QPSA
coverage and subsequently elects to resume such
coverage, the appropriate charge described above will
be made for each full or partial month of coverage
beginning with the first day of the month in which the
resumed coverage is effective.
(c) Limitations under Code section 415. The amount of the
Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Retirement Benefit,
Deferred Retirement Benefit, Vested Benefit or
Disability Retirement Benefit is subject to the limits
of Code section 415 as set forth in Section 9.01.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the amount of
the Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Retirement
Benefit, Deferred Retirement Benefit, Vested Benefit
or Disability Retirement Benefit shall be increased
after the Annuity Starting Date to reflect post-
retirement cost-of-living increases made in accordance
with Code section 415(d) and section 1.415-
3(c)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations. To the
extent any part of a Participant's Accrued Benefit
under the Plan has been distributed in a lump sum, no
part of such distributed Accrued Benefit shall be
increased to reflect post-retirement cost-of-living
increases made in accordance with Code section 415(d)
and section 1.415-3(c)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax
Regulations.
(d) Adjusted Benefits for Participants Subject to the
Limitation of Code section 401(a)(17).
(1) If a Participant's PC for any twelve-month period
beginning before January 1, 1994, is reduced by
Section 2.39(e), the Participant's benefit will
equal the greater of the following benefits:
(A) The sum of the amounts determined in Step 2
and Step 3 of paragraph (2) below; or
(B) The amount determined in Step 4 of paragraph
(2) below.
(2) For each affected Participant, the following
amounts shall be determined:
Step 1: The Participant's December 31, 1993
Accrued Benefit. The Participant's
December 31, 1993 Accrued Benefit is the
greater of the following amounts:
(A) The Participant's Accrued Benefit as of
December 31, 1988, calculated as if he had
terminated employment as of that date
determined without regard to the limitations
of Code section 401(a)(17).
(B) The Participant's Accrued Benefit as of
December 31, 1993, calculated as if he had
terminated employment as of that date by
taking into account all Accrued Service
credited as of December 31, 1993 and limiting
PC for all twelve-month periods to $235,840.
Step 2: The Participant's December 31, 1993
Accrued Benefit Adjusted for
Increases in the limitation under
Code section 401(a)(17). Multiply the
amount determined in Step 1 by the
following ratio: the Participant's
current APC (limiting PC for any
twelve-month period to the Code
section 401(a)(17) limit in effect on
the first day of the Plan Year in
which the twelve-month period begins)
divided by the Participant's APC as
of December 31, 1993 (limiting PC for
any twelve-month period beginning
after December 31, 1988, and before
January 1, 1994, to $235,840).
Step 3: The Participant's post-1993 Accruals.
Calculate the Participant's Accrued
Benefit for periods after 1993 by
taking into account Accrued Service
credited for periods after 1993 and
limiting PC for any twelve-month
period beginning after December 31,
1993, to the Code section 401(a)(17)
limit in effect on the first day of
the Plan Year in which the twelve-
month period begins.
Step 4: The Participant's Accrued Benefit in
Accordance with Section 5.01.
Calculate the Participant's Accrued
Benefit by taking into account all
credited Accrued Service and limiting
PC for all twelve-month periods to
the Code section 401(a)(17) limit in
effect on the first day of the Plan
Year in which the twelve-month period
begins.
(e) Minimum Benefits for Rehired Participants. The
benefit of a Participant who has been rehired by an
Affiliated Company after terminating employment with
the Affiliated Companies and before receiving a lump
sum payment in full satisfaction of his Accrued
Benefit as of his most recent termination of
employment shall be subject to the following minimum
benefit rules:
(1) If the Participant was eligible for a Vested
Benefit at his earlier termination of employment,
the Participant's Accrued Benefit will not be less
than the Accrued Benefit to which the Participant
would have been entitled had he not been rehired.
(2) If the Participant was eligible for an Early
Retirement Benefit at his earlier termination of
employment, the Participant's Accrued Benefit will
not be less than the Accrued Benefit to which the
Participant would have been entitled had he not
been rehired, and the Participant's Early
Retirement Benefit will not be less than the Early
Retirement Benefit which the Participant would
have received had he remained retired.
(f) Domestic Relations Order Adjustments. If a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order requires the Plan to make
payments to an alternate payee while the Participant
is still an Active Participant, the Participant's
Accrued Benefit will be reduced by the portion of his
Accrued Benefit awarded to the alternate payee.
(g) Cost of Living Adjustments. The Normal Retirement
Benefit, Early Retirement Benefit, Deferred Retirement
Benefit, or Disability Retirement Benefit is adjusted
in certain cases effective February 1, 1985, and in
certain cases, effective January 1, 1991, under
Appendix C.
(h) Change in Control Adjustments. In the case of a
Participant who terminates employment within five
years following a "Change In Control" (as defined in
Appendix B), the Participant's Accrued Benefit will be
subject to a Change In Control Benefit Adjustment in
accordance with Appendix B.
(i) Nonduplication of Benefits. Benefits otherwise
payable under this Plan will be reduced to the extent
of benefits provided under another qualified
nongovernmental defined benefit pension plan and
actually payable based on service for the same periods
of employment as are payable under this Plan.
ARTICLE 6. TIMING OF BENEFITS
6.01 Normal Retirement Benefit
The Normal Retirement Benefit is payable as of the
Participant's Normal Retirement Date.
(a) Suspension of Benefits. Payment of benefits to a
Participant who continues employment with an
Affiliated Company beyond his Normal Retirement Date
will be suspended for any month in which the
Participant is credited with at least 40 Hours of
Service during the month.
(1) This suspension does not apply if the Participant
is employed as a Limited Service Employee.
(2) This suspension does not apply if the Participant
has reached his Mandatory Commencement Date.
(b) Recovery of Overpayments. If the Plan makes a payment
to an Active Participant for a month during which
benefits should have been suspended under subsection
(a), the Plan will recover the overpayment by
deducting it from future benefit payments with respect
to the Participant. The deduction will be taken, if
possible, entirely from the first payment due after
the suspension period. If the entire deduction cannot
be made from the first payment, no later payment may
be reduced by the deduction by more than 25%.
(c) Notice Requirements and Claims Procedures. Payments
will be suspended under this Section only upon notice
to the Participant by personal delivery or first class
mail of the rules governing suspensions and that
KRIPCO intends to suspend benefit payments. A
Participant may appeal a suspension of benefits in the
same manner as a denial of benefits.
(d) Commencement of Payments. Normal Retirement Benefits
which have been suspended under this Section will
commence on or before the later of:
(1) the first day of the third calendar month
following the calendar month in which the
Participant fails to complete at least 40 Hours of
Service; or
(2) the first day of the calendar month following the
month in which the Participant notifies KRIPCO
that he has failed to complete at least 40 Hours
of Service in a calendar month; and
the first payment will include the payment scheduled
to occur on the date payments commence and any amounts
withheld during the period between the end of the
month in which the Participant fails to complete at
least 40 Hours of Service and the resumption of
payments.
6.02 Early Retirement Benefit
The Early Retirement Benefit is payable, at the Participant's
election in accordance with Section 7.03, as of the first day
of the month following the month of the Participant's last
termination of employment within the meaning of Section 4.07,
or the Disabled Individual's satisfaction of the requirements
of Section 4.05, or as of the first day of any month thereafter
before the Participant's Normal Retirement Date.
6.03 Deferred Retirement Benefit
The Deferred Retirement Benefit is payable as of the first day
of the month following the month in which the Participant
terminates employment within the meaning of Section 4.07 or, if
earlier, the Participant's Mandatory Commencement Date.
6.04 Vested Benefit
The Vested Benefit is payable as of the earliest of the
following dates:
(a) the first day of the month following the month in
which the Terminated Vested Participant reaches his
Normal Retirement Age; or
(b) if the Terminated Vested Participant elects in
accordance with Section 7.03, and so elects before the
first day of the fourth month following the month in
which his termination of employment is processed, the
first day of the month following the month in which
such election is made; or
(c) if the Terminated Vested Participant has completed 10
years of Total Service and elects in accordance with
Section 7.03, the first day of the month following the
month in which the Terminated Vested Participant
reaches age 55 or as of the first day of any month
thereafter up to and including the first day of the
month following the month in which the Terminated
Vested Participant reaches his Normal Retirement Age.
6.05 Disability Retirement Benefit
The Disability Retirement Benefit is payable as of the first
day of the month following the month in which the Disabled
Individual reaches his Normal Retirement Age or, if the
Disabled Individual has satisfied the requirements of Section
4.05(a) or (b), the Early Retirement Benefit is payable as of
the first day of any month following the month in which the
Disabled Individual's election is made in accordance with
Section 7.03 to receive an Early Retirement Benefit up to and
including the first day of the month in which the Disabled
Individual reaches his Normal Retirement Age.
ARTICLE 7. FORM OF BENEFITS
7.01 Payment of Small Benefits
(a) Lump Sum Payment. If the single-sum Actuarial
Equivalent of the benefit payable to any Participant
as of the first day of the month following the month
in which his employment terminates within the meaning
of Section 4.07 is $3,5000 or less, then that amount
will be distributed to the Participant as soon as
practicable in a single lump sum and the payment will
fully discharge all Plan liabilities with respect to
such benefit; provided, however that no such single-
sum payment shall be made as of any date after the
Annuity Starting Date.
(b) Deemed Lump Sum Payment. Any Participant who has
terminated employment but who is not an Inactive
Participant will be deemed to receive a cashout of his
vested Accrued Benefit with a value of zero.
7.02 Normal Form of Payment
The benefits of a Participant entitled to receive a pension
under Article 4 which has a single-sum Actuarial Equivalent
value of more than $3,500 shall be payable in the normal form
described in this Section unless the Participant elects, at the
time and in the manner prescribed by KRIPCO, to convert such
pension into an alternative payment method which is the
Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit described in Articles 4 and
5.
(a) Unmarried Participant. The benefit of a Participant
who does not have a spouse as of his Annuity Starting
Date will be paid in a straight life annuity as
described in Section 7.04(a).
(b) Married Participant. The benefit of a Participant who
has a spouse as of his Annuity Starting Date will be
paid in a qualified 50% joint and survivor annuity as
described in Section 7.04(b).
7.03 Elections of Forms of Payment
A Participant whose benefit is otherwise payable in the normal
form described in Section 7.02, may elect in writing to KRIPCO
to receive his benefit in one of the forms set forth in Section
7.04 (subject to any limitations described with respect to a
particular option).
(a) Notice of Election Options. KRIPCO will notify each
Participant of his right to elect not to take the
normal form of benefit at least 30 days and no more
than 90 days before the Participant's Annuity Starting
Date. Such notification will be in writing and will
contain a written explanation of the terms and
conditions of the alternative forms of payment
described in Section 7.04, and a statement of the
rights of the Participant and his spouse, if any,
under this Article.
(b) Election Forms. KRIPCO will provide to each
Participant whose benefits have not yet commenced, an
election form as well as a written explanation of the
terms, conditions, and effects of such an election.
(c) Election Period.
(1) General Rule. The period during which a
Participant has the right to elect not to take the
normal form of benefit will begin no earlier than
90 days before the Annuity Starting Date and,
subject to paragraph (5) below, will end on the
Annuity Starting Date.
(2) Delay of Annuity Starting Date. If the notice
described in subsection (a) is not provided to the
Participant within the specified time, and the
Participant has not yet reached his Normal
Retirement Date, the Annuity Starting Date will be
postponed, subject to paragraphs (3), (4) and (5)
below, to include at least 30 calendar days and no
more than 90 calendar days following the date on
which such information is given to the
Participant. In the event that the Participant
notifies the Employer less than 30 days before the
date which would otherwise have been the Annuity
Starting Date of his intent to retire before his
Normal Retirement Date, the Annuity Starting Date
will be postponed, subject to paragraphs (3), (4)
and (5) below, to include at least 30 calendar
days following the date notice is provided. No
form of benefit will be payable until the
Participant's decision is received by KRIPCO.
(3) No Delay of Annuity Starting Date after Normal
Retirement Date. If the notice described in
subsection (a) is not provided to the Participant
within the specified time, and the Participant has
reached his Normal Retirement Date, the Annuity
Starting Date will be his Normal Retirement Date
or, if later, the first of the month following the
month in which the Participant terminates
employment, and the benefit will be paid, subject
to paragraph (5) below, in the normal form
described in Section 7.02. In the event that the
Participant notifies the Employer less than 30
days before the date which would otherwise have
been the Annuity Starting Date of his intent to
retire on or after his Normal Retirement Date the
benefit will be paid, subject to paragraph (5)
below, in the normal form described in Section
7.02.
(4) Time Limit for Election by Terminated Vested
Participant under Section 6.04(b) of Lump Sum
Payment or Immediate Commencement of Benefits.
The Annuity Starting Date of benefits paid
immediately under Section 6.04(b) shall,
notwithstanding the above provisions, be no later
than the first day of the fourth month following
the month in which the Terminated Vested
Participant's termination of employment is
processed. Accordingly, benefits are payable
under Section 6.04(b) only if:
(A) the Terminated Vested Participant makes an
election within the election period specified
under Section 6.04(b); and
(B) the notice requirements of subsection (a) are
satisfied.
The Terminated Vested Participant's election under
Section 6.04(b) will be ineffective if it is not
made within the time required for his Annuity
Starting Date to occur within the 90-day period
following his receipt of the last notice and
explanation described in subsection (a).
Accordingly, in order for the Terminated Vested
Participant to have the full election period
described under Section 6.04(b), he must request
and obtain an additional notice and explanation in
advance of the first day of the fourth month
following the processing of his termination of
employment. If the Terminated Vested
Participant's election under Section 6.04(b) is
not effective, the Terminated Vested Participant's
benefit will be paid at the time determined under
Section 6.04(a) or, if applicable, Section
6.04(c), and in any form provided under Article 7
including the lump sum payment described in
Section 7.04(e).
(5) Exception to 30-Day Rule. If a Participant, after
having received the written explanation described
in subsection (a) above, affirmatively elects any
form of payment permitted under
the Plan and his spouse, if any, consents to that
form of payment (if necessary), the Participant's
Annuity Starting Date may be less than 30 days
after such written explanation was given to him,
provided that the following requirements are met:
(A) KRIPCO provides information to the
Participant clearly indicating that the
Participant has a right to at least 30 days
to consider whether to receive his benefit in
any of the forms permitted under the Plan;
(B) The Participant shall be entitled to revoke
an affirmative election of a form of payment
until the Annuity Starting Date, or, if
later, at any time prior to the expiration of
the 7-day period that begins the day after
the explanation of the qualified joint and
survivor annuity is given to the Participant;
(C) The Annuity Starting Date must be after the
date that the explanation of the qualified
joint and survivor annuity is given to the
Participant, although the Annuity Starting
Date may be before the date that any
affirmative election of a form of payment is
made by the Participant and before the date
the payment may commence under the provisions
of this paragraph (5);
(D) Payment in accordance with the Participant's
affirmative election shall commence on the
Participant's Annuity Starting Date, or, if
later, as soon as practicable after such date
but no earlier than the day after the
expiration of the 7-day period that begins
the day after the explanation of the
qualified joint and survivor annuity is given
to the Participant; and
(E) To be effective, any election or revocation
of an election during the 7-day election
period shall be delivered to KRIPCO on a form
approved by KRIPCO.
(d) Spousal Consent. Any election by a Participant not to
take a qualified 50% joint and survivor annuity shall
be effective only if it is delivered to KRIPCO on a
form approved by KRIPCO and, unless KRIPCO is
satisfied that a Participant does not have a spouse as
of his Annuity Starting Date, or that the Participant
is deemed not to have a spouse because no spouse can
be located, because the Participant has a court order
to the effect that the Participant is either legally
separated or has been abandoned (as legal separation
and abandonment are defined under local law), or
because of such other circumstances as may be
prescribed by regulations issued under the Code, only
if the Participant's spouse as of the Annuity
Starting Date consents in writing specifically to such
election and the consent acknowledges the effect of
the consent and is witnessed by a notary public or an
equivalent thereof in jurisdictions outside the United
States. An election of a Contingent Annuitant annuity
which provides for payments equal to at least 50
percent of the amount payable to the Participant after
his death to the spouse of the Participant as of his
Annuity Starting Date, shall be effective without
spousal consent.
(e) Effective Date of Election. An election to take any
form of payment will become effective upon the Annuity
Starting Date or, if later, on the day after the
expiration of the 7-day period described in subsection
(c)(5) above.
(f) Changes in Form of Payment Before Annuity Starting
Date.
(1) Participant's Right to Revoke. Prior to the
Annuity Starting Date or, if later and if
applicable, the expiration of the 7-day election
period described in subsection (c)(5) above, a
Participant may revoke his election to take any
form of payment at any time during the election
period described in subsection (c) above. To be
effective, such revocation must be delivered to
KRIPCO on a form approved by KRIPCO. A subsequent
election to take any form of payment may be made
at any time during the election period in
accordance with the procedure set forth above.
(2) Spousal Consent. A spouse who has properly
consented to an election by a Participant not to
take a qualified joint and survivor annuity may
not revoke such consent.
(3) Effect of Death. If the Participant dies before
the Annuity Starting Date, benefits will not be
payable under this Article and death benefits, if
any, will be payable under Article 10. If the
Participant's Contingent Annuitant, if any, dies
before the Annuity Starting Date, benefits will be
payable in the normal form described in Section
7.02 unless the Participant elects, in accordance
with Section 7.03, a different form of benefit.
(g) Changes in Form of Payment After Annuity Starting
Date.
(1) Benefit Payable at Normal Retirement Date Before
Expiration of the Election Period. In the case of
a Participant whose Annuity Starting Date occurred
under subsection (c)(3) above at his Normal
Retirement Date without timely notice as described
in subsection (a) above, the Participant may elect
any form of payment described in Section 7.04
within 90 days of the date
the notice described in subsection (a) above is
provided. However, a Participant who makes an
election under the 7-day election procedure
described in subsection (c)(5) above and does not
thereafter revoke such election shall not be
entitled to make a new election after the
expiration of such 7-day election period.
(2) Divorce within One Year of Marriage. If the
marriage of the Participant and his spouse as of
the Annuity Starting Date does not last at least
364 days on account of divorce, the Participant
may elect in writing, on forms provided by KRIPCO,
not to take a qualified 50% joint and survivor
annuity and, in such a case, a straight life
annuity will be provided unless the Participant
elects a Contingent Annuitant annuity as described
in Section 7.04(c) or (d).
(3) Participant's Right to Revoke the Form of Payment
After the Annuity Starting Date. On or after the
Annuity Starting Date, a Participant may elect any
form of payment described in Section 7.04 other
than the lump sum payment described in Section
7.04(e), may change the designation of his
Contingent Annuitant, and/or may change the
percentage of the benefit payable to the
Contingent Annuitant.
For any of the above-described elections to take
effect, the Participant and his Contingent
Annuitant must be alive on the effective date of
the election, which is the first day of the second
month following the month in which KRIPCO receives
satisfactory evidence of the good health of the
Participant and/or the Contingent Annuitant,
whichever is appropriate.
Elections discussed above would entail a
revocation of the previous election and in order
to be effective, must be delivered to KRIPCO on a
form approved by KRIPCO together with, where
appropriate, a spousal consent of the type
described in subsection (d) above. Unless
otherwise provided by a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order, the Participant's spouse as of
his Annuity Starting Date will be considered to be
his spouse when he revokes the form of payment,
even if the Participant is no longer married to
that person at the time the Participant revokes a
previous election. The procedures under this
paragraph (3) do not apply to elections under
subsection (c)(5) above.
7.04 Forms of Payment
The forms of payment and special rules which apply to various
options are described below:
(a) Straight Life Annuity. An annuity payable monthly
during the Participant's lifetime, with no further
payments on his behalf after his death.
(b) Qualified 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity. An annuity
payable monthly during the Participant's lifetime and,
if the Participant's spouse is still alive at the time
of the Participant's death, with payments equal to 50
percent of the amount payable to the Participant to
the Participant's surviving spouse for the lifetime of
the surviving spouse, with no further payment after
the death of the surviving spouse. If the spouse is
not alive when the Participant dies, no further
payments are made. Unless otherwise provided by a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order, for purposes of
the qualified 50% joint and survivor annuity, the
Participant's spouse as of his Annuity Starting Date
will be considered to be his spouse at his death, even
if the Participant is no longer married to that person
at the time the Participant dies. This option is
available only if a Participant is married on his
Annuity Starting Date.
(c) Contingent Annuitant or Annuitants Annuity. An
annuity payable monthly during the Participant's
lifetime and, if the Participant's Contingent
Annuitant or Contingent Annuitants is or are, as
applicable, still alive at the time of the
Participant's death, with payments equal to the amount
payable to the Participant or any lesser amount as
specified by the Participant being payable to the
Participant's Contingent Annuitant or Contingent
Annuitants, as the case may be, for the lifetime of
the Contingent Annuitant or Contingent Annuitants,
with no future payment after the death of the
Contingent Annuitant or Contingent Annuitants. If no
Contingent Annuitant is still alive when the
Participant dies, no further payments are made.
(d) Straight Life Annuity/50% Joint and Survivor Annuity
with Deferred Contingent Annuitant Annuity. An
annuity which, for a period up to a deferral date
determined by the Participant, is either a straight
life annuity or a 50% joint and survivor annuity.
Upon the deferral date, the annuity converts to a
Contingent Annuitant or Contingent Annuitants' annuity
if the Participant's designated Contingent Annuitant
or Contingent Annuitants is or are, as applicable,
still alive. An election of this option must be made
prior to the Annuity Starting Date.
(e) Lump Sum. A single lump sum payment in cash. No lump
sum payment is made if the Participant dies before his
Annuity Starting Date. This option is available only
to a Participant who either was an Active Participant
as of April 19, 1990, or is credited with two or more
years of Total Service after August 31, 1990. A lump
sum
payment is payable to a Terminated Vested Participant
only if the Terminated Vested Participant elects the
lump sum payment before the first day of the fourth
month following the month in which his termination of
employment is processed and makes such election in
accordance with Section 7.03.
7.05 Legal Restrictions on Forms of Payment
(a) Minimum Distributions. All distributions required
under this Article 7 shall be determined and made in
accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder, including the minimum
distribution incidental benefit requirements of
Proposed Income Tax Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-2.
If the Accrued Benefit of a Participant is to be
distributed other than in a lump sum after the
Mandatory Commencement Date, the following minimum
distribution rules shall apply:
(1) As of the first Distribution Calendar Year,
distributions if not made in a single lump sum,
may only be made over one of the following periods
(or combinations thereof): (A) the life of the
Participant; or (B) the life of the Participant
and a Designated Beneficiary;
(2) If the Participant's Accrued Benefit is to be paid
in the form of annuity distributions under the
Plan, payments under the annuity shall satisfy the
following requirements:
(A) the annuity distributions must be paid in
periodic payments made at monthly intervals;
(B) the distribution period must be over a life
(or lives) not longer than a life expectancy
(or joint and last survivor expectancy)
described in Code Section 401(a)(9)(A)(ii),
whichever is applicable;
(C) payments must either be nonincreasing or
increase only because of an increase in
benefits under the Plan;
(D) if the Participant's Accrued Benefit is being
distributed in the form of a Contingent
Annuitant Annuity for the joint lives of the
Participant and a nonspouse beneficiary,
annuity payments to be made on or after the
Participant's Mandatory Commencement Date to
the Contingent Annuitant after the
Participant's death must not at any time
exceed the applicable percentage of the
annuity payment for such period that would
have been payable to the Participant using
the table set forth in Q&A A-6 of Section
1.401(a)(9)-2 of the Proposed Income Tax
Regulations;
(E) if the form of distribution is an annuity
made in accordance with this Section 7.05(a)
rather than a lump sum, any additional
benefits accruing to the Participant after
his or her Mandatory Commencement Date shall
be distributed as an identifiable component
of the annuity beginning with the first
monthly payment ending in the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in
which such amount accrues.
(3) If the form of distribution is a lump sum rather
than an annuity made in accordance with this
Section 7.05(a), any additional benefits accruing
to the Participant after his or her Mandatory
Commencement Date shall be distributed as an
identifiable lump sum as soon as practicable
following the calendar year in which such amount
accrues.
(b) Incidental Death Benefit Rule. If the Participant's
Contingent Annuitant is not his spouse, the form of
payment must result in the Participant receiving a
benefit with a value of more than 50 percent of the
value of the straight life annuity which might
otherwise have been payable to the Participant in
accordance with Article 4.
(c) Protected Forms of Payment. In addition to the normal
and forms of benefit described in this Article,
special forms of benefit will be available to certain
Employees as indicated in Appendix D.
ARTICLE 8. QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS AND DIRECT
ROLLOVERS
8.01 Qualified Domestic Relations Orders
(a) General Rule. Any portion of a Participant's benefit
under the Plan payable to an alternate payee pursuant
to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order shall be paid
in accordance with such order. A Qualified Domestic
Relations Order may provide that a former spouse will
be deemed to be the Participant's spouse for purposes
of the Plan with respect to all or a portion of the
Participant's benefit.
(b) Timing of Payments to an Alternate Payee. A Qualified
Domestic Relations Order shall be honored only if, in
addition to satisfying the other requirements
applicable to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders, the
Qualified Domestic Relations Order provides for
payments to the alternate payee on or after:
(1) the Participant has terminated employment; or
(2) the Participant would, if the Participant
terminated employment, be eligible for a Normal
Retirement Benefit under Section 4.01, an Early
Retirement Benefit under Section 4.02, or a
Deferred Retirement Benefit under Section 4.03.
(c) Payment to an Alternate Payee While Participant is
Actively Employed by an Affiliated Company. To the
extent that a Qualified Domestic Relations Order
awards a portion of the Participant's Accrued Benefit
to an alternate payee and requires the Plan to make
payments to the alternate payee while the Participant
is still an Active Participant and before the
Participant reaches age 65, such payments shall be
determined under Section 5.02 based on the
Participant's age at the time payments begin to the
alternate payee, substituting the Actuarial Equivalent
factor for the factor otherwise used in Section 5.02.
(d) Rule for Small Benefits. If all or a portion of a
Participant's benefit is payable to an alternate payee
under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the $3,500
amount referenced in Sections 7.01(a) and 7.02 applies
separately to the benefit due the alternate payee and
the benefit due the Participant. The amounts are not
aggregated for purposes of Section 7.01. Accordingly,
if the single sum Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit
payable to the alternate payee is $3,500 or less as of
the date specified in the Qualified Domestic Relations
Order for the commencement of payments to the
alternate payee, that amount will be distributed to
the alternate payee as soon as practicable in a single
lump sum and the payment will fully discharge all Plan
liabilities with respect to such benefit.
8.02 Direct Rollovers
At the election of a Participant or his spouse or former spouse
entitled to a lump sum distribution under Article 7, the
foregoing provisions of this Article 8, or under Article 10,
KRIPCO shall direct the Trustee to make a direct rollover to
the trustee or other custodian of an "eligible retirement plan"
by any reasonable means (including providing the Participant or
spouse or former spouse with a check made payable only to the
trustee or custodian) of all, or a specified portion (but at
least $500), of an "eligible rollover distribution," subject to
the following restrictions:
(a) An "eligible rollover distribution" is any
distribution of all or any portion of the
Participant's benefit, except that an "eligible
rollover distribution" does not include
(1) any distribution that is one of a series of
substantially equal periodic payments (made not
less frequently than annually) made for the life
(or life expectancy) of the recipient or the joint
lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
recipient and the recipient's designated
beneficiary, or for a specified period of at least
ten years; or
(2) any distribution required under Code section
401(a)(9).
(b) An "eligible retirement plan" is an individual
retirement account described in Code section 408(a),
an individual retirement annuity described in Code
section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code
section 403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code
section 401(a), that accepts the recipient's "eligible
rollover distribution." If the recipient is the
Participant's surviving spouse, but not an alternate
payee receiving a distribution pursuant to a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order, an "eligible retirement
plan" is an individual retirement account described in
Code section 408(a) or an individual retirement
annuity described in Code section 408(b) that accepts
the surviving spouse's "eligible rollover
distribution," but not an annuity plan described in
Code section 403(a) nor a qualified trust described in
Code section 401(a).
(c) The Participant or his spouse or former spouse must
specify, in such form and at such time as KRIPCO may
prescribe, the "eligible retirement plan" to which the
distribution is to be paid and may specify only one
"eligible retirement plan."
(d) The Participant or his spouse or former spouse must
provide to KRIPCO in a timely manner adequate
information regarding the designated "eligible
retirement plan."
ARTICLE 9. LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS
9.01 Limitations under Code section 415.
(a) Definitions and Rules of Interpretation. For purposes
of this Section, the following definitions and rules
of interpretation shall apply:
(1) "Annual Additions" -- the sum of
(A) Employer contributions made directly or
indirectly,
(B) the Participant's contributions,
(C) forfeitures,
(D) amounts allocated after March 31, 1984, to an
individual medical account that is part of a
pension or annuity plan maintained by the
Employer are treated as annual additions
to a defined contribution plan. Also,
amounts derived from contributions paid or
accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable
years ending after such date, that are
attributable to post-retirement medical
benefits allocated to the separate account of
a key employee (as defined in Code section
419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit fund are
treated as annual additions to a defined
contribution plan, and
(E) allocations under a simplified employee
pension.
This definition shall not require the
recomputation of the Annual Addition for any
Limitation Year beginning before January 1, 1987.
(2) "Annual Benefit" -- a retirement benefit under the
Plan which is payable annually in the form of a
straight life annuity. Except as provided below,
a benefit payable in a form other than a straight
life annuity must be adjusted to an actuarial
equivalent straight life annuity before applying
the limitations of this Article. In the case of a
benefit payable in a form that is not subject to
Code section 417(e)(3), the interest rate
assumption used to determine actuarial equivalence
will be the greater of the interest rate used
under the Plan for the particular form of benefit
being paid or 5 percent. In the case of a benefit
payable in a form that is subject to Code section
417(e)(3), the interest rate assumption used to
determine actuarial equivalence will be the
greater of the interest rate used under the Plan
for the particular form of benefit being paid or
the Applicable Interest Rate as defined in Section
2.07 (whether or not the form of benefit is a lump
sum). The mortality table used to determine
actuarial equivalence shall be the Applicable
Mortality Table as defined in Section 2.08. The
annual benefit does not include any benefits
attributable to employee contributions or rollover
contributions, or the assets transferred from a
qualified plan that was not maintained by the
Employer. No actuarial adjustment to the benefit
is required for (a) the value of a qualified joint
and survivor annuity, (b) the value of benefits
that are not directly related to retirement
benefits (such as the qualified disability
benefit, pre-retirement death benefits, and post-
retirement medical benefits), and (c) the value of
post-retirement cost-of-living increases made in
accordance with Code section 415(d) and section
1.415-3(c)(2)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations.
If the benefit the Participant would otherwise
accrue in a Limitation Year would produce an
annual benefit in excess of the Maximum
Permissible Amount, the rate of accrual will be
reduced so that the annual benefit will equal the
Maximum Permissible Amount.
(3) "Compensation" -- with respect to a Limitation
Year, a Participant's wages, salaries for
professional services, amounts received by an
Employee pursuant to an unfunded nonqualified plan
in the Limitation Year in which such amounts are
includable in the gross income of the Employee,
and other amounts received for personal services
actually rendered to the Employer but excluding
other deferred compensation, stock options, and
other distributions which receive special tax
benefit.
(4) "Current Accrued Benefit" -- a Participant's
protected accrued benefit (within the meaning of
Code section 411(a)(7) and 411(d)(6)) under the
terms of the Plan as of December 31, 1994, for the
Annuity Starting Date and optional form and taking
into account the limitations of Code section 415
prior to the Code section 415(b)(2)(E) changes
contained in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act,
Pub. L. 103-465 (GATT), which includes the
Retirement Protection Act of 1994 (RPA '94),
including the participation requirements of Code
section 415(b)(5). In determining the amount of a
Participant's Current Accrued Benefit, the
following shall be disregarded:
(A) any Plan amendments increasing benefits after
1994; and
(B) any cost of living adjustments occurring
after 1994.
(5) "Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation" -- $90,000 (as
adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under
Code section 415(d)).
(6) "Defined Benefit Fraction" -- a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the Participant's
projected annual benefits under all the defined
benefit plans (whether or not terminated)
maintained by the Employer, and the denominator of
which is the lesser of 125 percent of the dollar
limitation determined for the limitation year
under sections 415(b) and (d) of the Internal
Revenue Code and in accordance with section
5.11(b) below or 140 percent of the Highest
Average Compensation, including any adjustments
under Code section 415(b).
Notwithstanding the above, if the Participant was
a Participant as of the first day of the first
Limitation Year beginning after December 31, 1986,
in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by
the Employer which were in existence on May 6,
1986, the denominator of this fraction will not be
less than 125 percent of the sum of the annual
benefits under such plans which the Participant
had accrued as of the close of the last limitation
year beginning before January 1, 1987,
disregarding any changes in the terms and
conditions of the plans after May 5, 1986.
(7) "Defined Contribution Fraction" -- a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the Annual
Additions to the Participant's account under all
the defined contribution plans (whether or not
terminated) maintained by the Employer for the
current and all prior limitation years, (including
the Annual Additions attributable to the
Participant's nondeductible employee contributions
to this and all other defined benefit plans
(whether or not terminated) maintained by the
Employer, and the Annual Additions attributable to
all welfare benefit funds or individual medical
accounts and simplified employee pensions
maintained by the Employer), and the denominator
of which is the sum of the maximum aggregate
amounts for the current and all prior limitation
years of service with the Employer (regardless of
whether a defined contribution plan was maintained
by the Employer).
The maximum aggregate amount in any limitation
year is the lesser of 125 percent of the dollar
limitation determined under sections 415(b) and
(d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect under
section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code
or 35 percent of the Participant's Compensation
for such year.
If the employee was a Participant as of the first
day of the first limitation year beginning after
December 31, 1986, in one or more defined
contribution plans maintained by the Employer
which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the
numerator of this fraction will be adjusted if the
sum of this fraction and the defined benefit
fraction would otherwise exceed 1.0 under the
terms of this plan. Under the adjustment, an
amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of
the sum of the fractions over 1.0 times (2) the
denominator of this fraction, will be permanently
subtracted from the numerator of this fraction.
The adjustment is calculated using the fractions
as they would be computed as of the end of the
last limitation year beginning before January 1,
1987, and disregarding any changes in the terms
and conditions of the plans made after May 5,
1986, but using the section 415 limitation
applicable to the first limitation year beginning
on or after January 1, 1987.
(8) "Employer" -- any corporation which is a member of
a controlled group of corporations as defined in
Code section 414(b) as modified by Code section
415(h) which includes the Employer or any trades
or businesses (whether or not incorporated) which
are under common control as defined in Code
section 414(c) as modified by Code section 415(h)
with the Employer or a member of an affiliated
service group (as defined in Code section 414(m))
which includes the Employer.
(9) "Highest Average Compensation" -- The average
compensation for the three consecutive Years of
Service with the Employer that produces the
highest average.
(10) "Limitation Year" -- the Plan Year.
(11) "Maximum Permissible Amount":
(A) The lesser of the Defined Benefit Dollar
Limitation or 100 percent of the
Participant's highest average Compensation.
(B) If the Participant has less than 10 Years of
Participation, the Defined Benefit Dollar
Limitation is reduced by one-tenth for each
Year of Participation (or part thereof) less
than ten. If the Participant has less than
ten years of service with the Employer, the
compensation limitation is reduced by one-
tenth for each Year of Service (or part
thereof) less than ten. The adjustments of
this subsection (B) shall be applied in the
denominator of the defined benefit fraction
based upon Years of Service. Years of
Service shall include future years occurring
before the Participant's normal retirement
age. Such future years shall include the
year which contains the date the Participant
reaches Normal Retirement Age, only if it can
be reasonably anticipated that the
Participant will receive a Year of Service
for such year.
(C) If the annual benefit of the Participant
commences before the Participant's Social
Security Retirement age, but on or after age
62, the Defined Benefit Dollar Limitation as
reduced above, if necessary, shall be
determined as follows:
(i) If a Participant's Social Security
Retirement Age is 65, the dollar
limitation for benefits commencing on
or after age 62 is determined by
reducing the Defined Benefit Dollar
Limitation by 5/9 of one percent for
each month by which benefits commence
before the month in which the
Participant attains age 65.
(ii) If a Participant's Social Security
Retirement Age is greater than 65, the
dollar limitation for benefits
commencing on or after age 62 is
determined by reducing the Defined
Benefit Dollar Limitation by 5/9 of
one percent for each of the
first 36 months and 5/12 of one
percent for each of the additional
months (up to 24 months) by which
benefits commence before the month of
the Participant's Social Security
Retirement Age.
(D) If the annual benefit of a Participant
commences prior to age 62, the Defined
Benefit Dollar Limitation shall be further
reduced so that such Limitation is
actuarially equivalent to such Limitation
at age 62. In the case of a benefit
payable in a form that is not subject to
Code section 417(e)(3), the reduced dollar
amount is the lesser of the equivalent
amount computed using the interest rate and
mortality table (or other tabular factor)
used for actuarial equivalence for early
retirement benefits under the Plan and the
amount computed using 5 percent interest
and the Applicable Mortality Table as
defined in Section 2.08. In the case of a
benefit payable in a form that is subject
to Code section 417(e)(3), the reduced
dollar amount is the lesser of the
equivalent amount computed using the
interest rate and mortality table (or other
tabular factor) used for actuarial
equivalence for early retirement benefits
under the Plan and the amount computed
using the Applicable Interest Rate as
defined in Section 2.07 (whether or not the
form of benefit is a lump sum) and the
Applicable Mortality Table as defined in
Section 2.08. Any decrease in the Defined
Benefit Dollar Limitation determined in
accordance with this subsection (D) shall
not reflect the mortality decrement to the
extent that benefits will not be forfeited
upon the death of the Participant.
(E) If the annual benefit of a Participant
commences after the Participant's Social
Security Retirement Age, the Defined
Benefit Dollar Limitation as reduced in (B)
above, if necessary, shall be increased so
that it is the actuarial equivalent of an
annual benefit of such dollar limitation
beginning at the Participant's Social
Security Retirement Age. The increased
dollar amount is the lesser of the
equivalent amount computed using the
interest rate and mortality table (or other
tabular factor) used for actuarial
equivalence for early retirement benefits
under the Plan and the amount computed
using 5 percent interest and the Applicable
Mortality Table as defined in Section 2.08.
(F) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Maximum Permissible Amount
shall not be less that the Participant's
Current Accrued Benefit.
(12) "Projected Annual Benefit" -- the Annual Benefit
to which a Participant would be entitled under
this Plan on the assumptions that he continues
employment until any date as of which benefits
are payable to the Participant as a Retired
Participant or a Terminated Vested Participant,
(or current date, if that is later than his
Normal Retirement Age), that his Compensation
continues at the same rate as in effect for the
Limitation Year under consideration until any
date at which benefits are payable (or current
date, if that is later than his Normal
Retirement Age), and that all other relevant
factors used to determine benefits under the
Plan remain constant as of the current
Limitation Year for all future Limitation Years.
(13) "Social Security Retirement Age" -- age 65 in
the case of a Participant attaining age 62
before January 1, 2000 (i.e., born before
January 1, 1938), age 66 for a Participant
attaining age 62 after December 31, 1999, and
before January 1, 2017 (i.e., born after
December 31, 1937, but before January 1, 1955),
and age 67 for a Participant attaining age 62
after December 31, 2016 (i.e., born after
December 31, 1954).
(14) "Year of Participation" -- a year of Accrued
Service.
(15) "Year of Service" -- a year of Vesting Service.
(16) All defined benefit plans (whether or not
terminated) of the Employer shall be treated as
being a part of this Plan, and all defined
contribution plans (whether or not terminated)
of the Employer shall be treated as being a part
of the Eastman Kodak Employees' Savings and
Investment Plan ("SIP"). In addition, if any
Participant is or has ever been a participant in
another qualified plan maintained by the
employer, or a welfare benefit fund, as defined
in Code section 419(e), maintained by the
Employer, or an individual medical account, as
defined in Code section 415(l)(2), maintained by
the Employer, or a simplified employee pension,
as defined in Code section 408(k), maintained by
the Employer, that provides an Annual Addition
as defined in Section 9.1(a)(1), section 9.1(b)
is also applicable to that Participant's
benefits.
(b) Limitation on Benefits
(1) The Annual Benefit otherwise payable to a
Participant at any time will not exceed the
Maximum Permissible Amount. If the benefit the
Participant would otherwise accrue in a
Limitation Year would produce an Annual Benefit
in excess of the Maximum Permissible Amount, the
rate of accrual under this Plan will be reduced
so that the annual benefit will equal the
Maximum Permissible Amount.
(2) No Participant of this Plan who is also covered
by the SIP or any other defined contribution
plan of the Employer shall accrue an Annual
Benefit in excess of the adjusted Maximum
Permissible Amount. For purpose of this
provision, the adjusted Maximum Permissible
Amount is the lesser of the Maximum Permissible
Amount or the Code section 415(e) aggregated
limitation. For the purpose of this provision,
the 415(e) aggregated limitation shall be
determined by subtracting the Defined
Contribution Fraction from 1.0 with the result
being equal to the Defined Benefit Fraction of a
Participant. The benefit accrual by a
Participant in this Plan will be reduced to the
extent necessary to prevent the sum of the
Defined Contribution Fraction and Defined
Benefit Fraction, computed as of the close of
the Limitation Year, from exceeding 1.0.
9.02 Limit on Annual Payments to Top-25 Employees
(a) Definitions and Rules of Interpretation. For
purposes of this Section, the following definitions
and rules of interpretation shall apply:
(1) "benefit" - loans in excess of the amounts set
forth in Code section 72(p)(2)(A), any periodic
income, any withdrawal values payable to a
living employee, and any death benefits not
provided for by insurance on the employee's
life.
(2) "current liabilities" - current liabilities as
defined in Code section 412(l)(7).
(3) "highly compensated employee" - a highly
compensated employee as that term is defined in
Code section 414(q).
(4) "top-25 employee" - in any one year, the group
of 25 highly compensated employees and former
highly compensated employees with the largest
amount of compensation in the current or any
prior year.
(b) Limit on Annual Payments. The annual payments to any
top-25 employee are restricted to an amount equal to
the payments that would be made on behalf of the
employee under a straight life annuity that is the
Actuarial Equivalent of the sum of the employee's
Accrued Benefit and the employee's other benefits
under the plan. This restriction does not apply,
however, if:
(1) after payment to a top-25 employee of all
benefits, the value of Plan assets equals or
exceeds 110% of the value of current liabilities
(as defined in Code section 412(l)(7));
(2) the value of the benefits payable to or on behalf
of the top-25 employee is less than 1% of the
value of current liabilities before distribution;
or
(3) the Commissioner determines that such provisions
are not necessary to prevent the prohibited
discrimination that may occur in the event of an
early termination of the plan.
ARTICLE 10. DEATH BENEFITS BEFORE THE ANNUITY STARTING DATE
10.01 General
If the Participant dies before the Annuity Starting Date, death
benefits, if any, will be payable under this Article. If the
Participant dies after the Annuity Starting Date, death
benefits, if any, are based upon the form of payment under
Article 7.
10.02 Eligibility
Death benefits are payable on behalf of any Participant with
death benefit coverage as described below who has not yet
reached his Annuity Starting Date.
(a) Active Participants. An Active Participant who is
entitled to a Vested Benefit has Pre-retirement SIB
coverage.
(b) Active Participants - Special Rule for Certain
Grandfathered Participants. An Active Participant
who:
(1) attained age 55 before January 1, 1984;
(2) was an Employee on January 1, 1984 and
continuously through the date of his death;
(3) elected OSIB coverage before January 1, 1993; and
(4) has not revoked his election of OSIB coverage on
or after January 1, 1993,
has OSIB coverage.
(c) Disabled Individuals. A Disabled Individual who had
Pre-retirement SIB coverage immediately prior to his
effective date of disability has Pre-retirement SIB
coverage so long as he remains eligible to receive
benefits from a broad-based long-term disability plan
maintained by the Employer. A Disabled Individual who
had OSIB coverage immediately prior to his effective
date of disability may continue such coverage so long
as he remains eligible to receive benefits from a
broad-based long-term disability plan maintained by
the Employer.
(d) Terminated Vested Participants. A Terminated Vested
Participant who has not yet reached his Annuity
Starting Date is eligible for PRSB coverage if the
Participant does not have Pre-retirement SIB coverage
under subsection (e).
(e) Terminated Vested Participants - Lay Off. A
Terminated Vested Participant whose employment
terminated on account of layoff and who had Pre-
retirement SIB coverage immediately prior to the
layoff has Pre-retirement SIB coverage during the
month of layoff and for a period of up to three months
thereafter but ending on his Annuity Starting Date.
(f) Retired Participants. A Retired Participant who has
not yet reached his Annuity Starting Date is eligible
for QPSA coverage.
(g) Other Inactive Participants. An Inactive Participant
not covered by any of the foregoing categories has
Pre-retirement SIB coverage.
10.03 Pre-retirement Survivor Income Benefit (Pre-retirement
SIB) Coverage
(a) Period of Coverage. Pre-retirement SIB coverage
begins on the first day of the month in which the
Participant becomes vested under this Plan. Pre-
retirement SIB coverage will terminate at 12:00
midnight on the earlier of the following dates:
(1) the last date on which the Participant has an
eligible beneficiary; or
(2) the day before the date on which the Participant
becomes a Retired Participant or a Terminated
Vested Participant, except that in the case of a
layoff, coverage will be extended during the month
of layoff and for a period of up to three months
thereafter.
If coverage terminates under paragraph (1) and the
Participant subsequently acquires an eligible
beneficiary, the Participant will again have Pre-
retirement SIB coverage.
(b) No Election. Pre-retirement SIB coverage is
automatic.
(c) Cost. Pre-retirement SIB coverage is provided at no
charge to the Participant.
(d) Eligible Beneficiaries. Pre-retirement SIB will be
payable:
(1) to the Participant's surviving spouse if the
Participant and his spouse were married
continuously during the 364 days preceding the
Participant's death;
(2) if the Participant is enrolled in KLife or the
Family Protection Program and has no eligible
surviving spouse, to the Participant's dependent
children; or
(3) if the Participant is enrolled in KLife or the
Family Protection Program and has no eligible
surviving spouse nor dependent children (because
all dependent children have either died or lost
dependency status), to the Participant's dependent
parents.
A natural child, legally adopted child, or step-child
of the Participant is considered a dependent child if
the child is unmarried; is either under age 19 or a
full-time student and under age 23; and depends upon
the Participant for at least one-half of his support.
A parent of the Participant is considered a dependent
parent if the parent depends upon the Participant for
more than one-half of his support.
(e) Amount. Pre-retirement SIB is a monthly benefit equal
to a percentage of the Accrued Benefit as of the date
of the Participant's death, and is calculated as
follows:
Step 1: Calculate the Participant's Accrued Benefit
and divide that benefit by 12.
Step 2: A) Multiply the amount calculated in Step 1
by 20 percent if the deceased Participant
died before the month of his 55th
birthday or by 30 percent if the deceased
Participant died during or after the
month of his 55th birthday. If the
benefit is to be paid to a surviving
spouse more than 10 years younger than
the Participant, reduce the amount
calculated by 1/12
of 1 percent for each full or partial
month that the spouse is more than 10
years younger than the Participant.
B) If there is an eligible surviving spouse,
multiply the amount calculated in Step 1
by the appropriate Actuarial Equivalent
factor for early retirement, determined
as of the date when the benefit is
payable, then multiply that result by the
appropriate Actuarial Equivalent factor
for joint lives which would apply if the
qualified 50% joint and survivor annuity
benefit were payable, determined as of
the date when the benefit is payable, and
then multiply that result by 50 percent.
If there is no surviving spouse, omit
this Step 2(B).
C) The larger of the two benefits calculated
in (A) and (B) above is the benefit
payable.
In no case will the Pre-retirement SIB payable to the
Participant's surviving spouse be less than the amount
which would have been payable as of the same date to
the surviving spouse as a qualified pre-retirement
survivor annuity under subsection (g).
(f) Time and Manner of Payment
(1) Manner of Payments. The Pre-retirement SIB will
be payable monthly to the deceased Participant's
beneficiary provided that Pre-retirement SIB
coverage was in effect on the date of the
Participant's death.
(2) Commencement of Payments. If the Participant dies
on or after the date on which he becomes eligible
to elect to retire in accordance with Section
4.02, the benefit will be payable monthly
beginning as of the first day of the month
following the month of the Participant's death.
If the Participant dies before becoming eligible
to elect to retire in accordance with Section
4.02, the benefit will be payable beginning as of
the first day of the month in which he would have
become eligible to elect to retire in accordance
with Section 4.02, except that his Total Service
shall be limited to that amount of Total Service
accrued as of the date of his death.
(3) Termination of Payments. Benefit payments will
terminate after the payment due for the month in
which the death of such Participant's last
surviving beneficiary dies.
(g) Election of Qualified Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity
in Lieu of Pre-retirement SIB. A surviving spouse
entitled to Pre-retirement SIB may waive Pre-
retirement SIB and elect, in lieu thereof, a qualified
pre-retirement survivor annuity payable in accordance
with the following provisions:
(1) Amount.
(A) The qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity
is a monthly benefit equal to a percentage of
the Accrued Benefit as of the date of the
Participant's death, and is calculated as
follows:
Step 1: Calculate the Participant's Accrued
Benefit and divide that benefit by
12.
Step 2: Multiply the amount calculated in
Step 1 by the appropriate Actuarial
Equivalent factor for early
retirement, determined as of the date
when the benefit is payable, then
multiply that result by the
appropriate Actuarial Equivalent
factor for joint lives which would
apply if the benefit were payable as
a qualified 50% joint and survivor
annuity, determined as of the date
when the benefit is payable, and then
multiply that result by 50 percent.
(B) Adjustment for Early Retirees. If a
Participant dies after becoming entitled to
an Early Retirement Benefit, the factor used
to calculate the Participant's assumed
benefit in Step 2 will be determined as of
the day immediately preceding the date of his
death.
(2) Time and Manner of Payment
(A) Manner of Payments. The qualified pre-
retirement survivor annuity will be payable
monthly to the deceased Participant's
eligible spouse only if the eligible spouse
waives Pre-retirement SIB.
(B) Commencement of Payments. If the Participant
dies before becoming eligible for an Early
Retirement Benefit or a Normal Retirement
Benefit, the surviving spouse may elect to
commence receiving benefits as soon as
practicable following the month of the
Participant's death, and Total Service shall
be limited to the amount of Total Service
accrued as of the date of his death.
(C) Termination of Payments. Benefit payments
will terminate after the payment due for the
month in which the death of such
Participant's spouse dies.
(D) Special Rule for Small Benefits.
Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) and (B), if
the surviving spouse elects an immediate
qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity in
lieu of Pre-retirement SIB and if the single-
sum Actuarial Equivalent of the immediate
qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity is
$3,500 or less as of the first day of the
month the qualified pre-retirement survivor
annuity is payable, that amount will be
distributed to the surviving spouse as soon
as practicable in a single lump sum and the
payment will fully discharge all Plan
liabilities with respect to such benefit.
10.04 Optional Pre-retirement Survivor Income Benefit (OSIB)
Coverage
(a) Period of Coverage. OSIB coverage begins in
accordance with the provisions of the Prior Plan.
OSIB coverage will terminate at 12:00 midnight on the
earliest of the following dates:
(1) the first date on or after January 1, 1993, on
which the Participant has no beneficiary;
(2) the effective date of the Participant's election
revoking coverage in accordance with subsection
(b); or
(3) the day before the date on which the Participant
becomes a Retired Participant, except that in the
case of a layoff, coverage will be extended during
the month of layoff and for a period of two months
thereafter.
(b) Revocation of Election. An eligible Participant may
revoke his election of OSIB coverage at any time
during the election period.
(1) Election Period. The period for revoking an
election of OSIB coverage ends on the earlier of
the date coverage terminates in accordance with
subsection (a) or the date of the Participant's
death.
(2) Election Procedure. An election to revoke OSIB
coverage must be made on forms supplied by KRIPCO
and must be received by KRIPCO to be effective.
(3) Effective Date of Election. The effective date of
an election to revoke OSIB coverage is the date on
which such election is received by KRIPCO.
(4) Further Elections. A Participant who revokes his
election of OSIB coverage may not thereafter elect
coverage.
(c) Cost. The Participant's Accrued Benefit will be
reduced in accordance with Section 5.06(b).
(d) Eligible Beneficiaries. OSIB will be payable:
(1) to the Participant's surviving spouse if the
Participant and his spouse were married
continuously during the 364 days preceding the
Participant's death;
(2) if the Participant is enrolled in KLife or the
Family Protection Program and has no eligible
surviving spouse, to the Participant's dependent
children; or
(3) if the Participant is enrolled in KLife or the
Family Protection Program and has no eligible
surviving spouse nor dependent children (because
all dependent children have either died or lost
dependency status), to the Participant's dependent
parents.
A natural child, legally adopted child, or step-child
of the Participant is considered a dependent child if
the child is unmarried; is either under age 19 or a
full-time student and under age 23; depends upon the
Participant for more than one-half of his support; and
either resides with the Participant or does not reside
with the Participant because of divorce or full-time
attendance in school. A parent of the Participant is
considered a dependent parent if the parent depends
upon the Participant for more than one-half of his
support.
(e) Amount. OSIB is a monthly benefit equal to a
percentage of the Accrued Benefit as of the date of
the Participant's death, and is calculated as follows:
Step 1: Calculate the Participant's Accrued Benefit
and divide that benefit by 12.
Step 2: Multiply the amount calculated in Step 1 by
20 percent. If the benefit is to be paid to
a surviving spouse more than 10 years younger
than the Participant, reduce the amount
calculated by 1/12 of 1 percent for each full
or partial month that the spouse is more than
10 years younger than the Participant.
(f) Time and Manner of Payment
(1) Manner of Payments. OSIB will be payable monthly
to the deceased Participant's beneficiary provided
that OSIB coverage was in effect on the date of
the Participant's death.
(2) Commencement of Payments. If the Participant dies
on or after the date on which he becomes eligible
to elect to retire in accordance with Section
4.02, the benefit will be payable monthly
beginning as of the first day of the month
following the month of the Participant's death.
If the Participant dies before becoming eligible
to elect to retire in accordance with Section
4.02, the benefit will be payable beginning as of
the first day of the month in which he would have
become eligible to elect to retire in accordance
with Section 4.02, except that his Total Service
shall be limited to that amount of Total Service
accrued as of the date of his death.
(3) Termination of Payments. Benefit payments will
terminate after the payment due for the month in
which the death of such Participant's last
surviving beneficiary dies.
10.05 Pre-Retirement Spouse Benefit (PRSB) and Qualified Pre-
retirement
Survivor Annuity (QPSA) Coverage
(a) Period of Coverage. PRSB coverage is effective as of
the date on which a Participant first becomes a
Terminated Vested Participant and has been married
continuously for 364 days to his current spouse. QPSA
coverage is effective as of the date on which a
Participant first becomes a Retired Participant and is
married. PRSB or QPSA coverage will terminate at
12:00 midnight on the earliest of the following dates:
(1) the last date on which the Participant has a
spouse;
(2) the effective date of the Participant's election
declining coverage in accordance with subsection
(b); or
(3) the day before the Participant's Annuity Starting
Date.
If coverage terminates under paragraph (1) and the
Participant should subsequently acquire an eligible
spouse, the Participant will again have PRSB or QPSA
coverage.
(b) Election to Decline Coverage. For a Terminated Vested
Participant, PRSB coverage is automatic through the
first day of the fourth month following the month in
which the Terminated Vested Participant terminated
employment and is automatic after that date
unless the Terminated Vested Participant elects to
decline PRSB coverage. For a Retired Participant,
QPSA coverage is automatic through the first day of
the fourth month following the month in which the
Retired Participant terminated employment and is
automatic after that date unless the Retired
Participant elects to decline QPSA coverage.
(1) Election Period. The period for declining PRSB or
QPSA coverage begins on the date on which the
Participant ceases to be an Active Participant and
ends on the earlier of his Annuity Starting Date
or the date of his death.
(2) Notice of Election. KRIPCO will notify each
Participant of his right to decline PRSB or QPSA
coverage within the two-year period ending one
year after the Participant's termination of
employment. Such notification will be in writing
and will inform the Participant of his right, as
appropriate, to decline PRSB or QPSA coverage, and
will contain a written explanation of the terms
and conditions of PRSB or QPSA coverage, as
appropriate, and a statement of the rights of the
Participant and his spouse, if any, under this
Article. If the notice is not provided to the
Participant within the specified time, PRSB or
QPSA coverage will be provided without charge
until the 90th day after such notice has been
delivered to the Participant or mailed to such
Participant's last known mailing address.
(3) Election Procedure. An election to decline PRSB
or QPSA coverage must be made on forms supplied by
KRIPCO and must be received by KRIPCO to be
effective. Furthermore, unless KRIPCO is
satisfied that a Participant does not have a
spouse, or that the Participant is deemed not to
have a spouse because no spouse can be located,
because the Participant has a court order to the
effect that the Participant is either legally
separated or has been abandoned (as legal
separation and abandonment are defined under local
law), or because of such other circumstances as
may be prescribed by regulations issued under the
Code, the Participant's spouse must consent in
writing to an election to decline PRSB or QPSA
coverage and the spouse's consent must acknowledge
the effect thereof and be witnessed by a notary
public.
(4) Election Revocations. A Participant's election to
decline PRSB or QPSA coverage may be revoked at
any time during the election period described in
paragraph (1) above. To be effective, such
revocation must be delivered to KRIPCO on a form
approved by KRIPCO. Subsequent to the revocation
of the election, a Participant may elect to
decline PRSB or QPSA coverage at any time during
the appropriate election periods in accordance
with the procedure set forth above.
(5) Effective Date of Election. The effective date of
an election to decline PRSB or QPSA coverage is
the date on which such election is received by
KRIPCO or, if later, the first day of the fourth
month following the month in which the Terminated
Vested Participant or Retired Participant
terminated employment. The effective date of an
election to resume previously discontinued PRSB or
QPSA coverage is the date on which such election
is received by KRIPCO.
(c) Cost. The Participant's Accrued Benefit will be
reduced in accordance with Section 5.06(b).
(d) Eligible Beneficiary. The QPSA will be payable to the
Retired Participant's surviving spouse. If the
Participant is a Terminated Vested Participant, the
PRSB will be payable to the Participant's surviving
spouse only if the Participant and his spouse were
married continuously during the 364 days preceding the
Participant's death. If the Participant's spouse dies
before the Participant, no PRSB or QPSA will be
payable.
(e) Amount.
(1) The PRSB or QPSA is a monthly benefit equal to a
percentage of the Accrued Benefit as of the date
of the Participant's death, and is calculated as
follows:
Step 1: Calculate the Participant's Accrued
Benefit and divide that benefit by 12.
Step 2: Multiply the amount calculated in Step 1
by the appropriate Actuarial Equivalent
factor for early retirement, determined
as of the date when the benefit is
payable, then multiply that result by the
appropriate Actuarial Equivalent factor
for joint lives which would apply if the
benefit were payable as a qualified 50%
joint and survivor annuity, determined as
of the date when the benefit is payable,
and then multiply that result by 50
percent.
(2) Adjustment for Early Retirees. If a Participant
dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date, after
becoming entitled to an Early Retirement Benefit,
the factor used to calculate the Participant's
assumed benefit in Step 2 will be determined as of
the day immediately preceding the date of his
death.
(3) Adjustment for Prior Elections. If a Retired
Participant or a Terminated Vested Participant
dies prior to his Annuity Starting Date and within
90 days of electing a Contingent
Annuity annuity for the benefit of his spouse
which would have provided a survivor benefit in
excess of 50% of the amount payable to the
Participant, "50 percent" in Step 2 will be
replaced with the percentage survivor benefit
elected by the Participant.
(f) Time and Manner of Payment
(1) Manner of Payments. The PRSB or QPSA will be
payable monthly to the deceased Participant's
eligible spouse provided that PRSB or QPSA
coverage was in effect on the date of the
Participant's death.
(2) Commencement of Payments. If the Participation
dies on or after the date on which he became
eligible for a Normal Retirement Benefit, the
benefit will be payable monthly beginning as of
the first day of the month following the month of
the Participant's death. If the Participant dies
before becoming eligible for a Normal Retirement,
the surviving spouse may elect to commence
receiving benefits as of the first day of the
month following the month of the Participant's
death or, if later, as of the first day of the
month in which the Participant would have reached
his Normal Retirement Date, and Total Service
shall be limited to that amount of Total Service
accrued as of the date of his death.
(3) Termination of Payments. Benefit payments will
terminate after the payment due for the month in
which the death of such Participant's spouse dies.
(4) Special Rule for Small Benefits. Notwithstanding
paragraphs (1) and (2) above, if the single-sum
Actuarial Equivalent of the benefit payable to the
surviving spouse of a Terminated Vested
Participant or a Retired Participant as of the
first day of the month the PRSB or QPSA is payable
is $3,500 or less, that amount will be distributed
to the surviving spouse as soon as practicable in
a single lump sum and the payment will fully
discharge all Plan liabilities with respect to
such benefit.
ARTICLE 11. REHIRES AND SUSPENSION OF BENEFITS
11.01 Pending Lump Sum Payment
If a Participant has elected a lump sum payment under Section
7.04(e) or if the Participant's benefit is payable in the form
of a lump sum under Section 7.01, but the Participant is
rehired before payment is actually made, then no lump sum
payment will be made.
11.02 Rehire of Participant After the Annuity Starting Date
(a) Suspension of Benefits before Normal Retirement Date.
Payment of benefits to a Participant who has reached
his Annuity Starting Date will be suspended for any
month prior to his Normal Retirement Date in which the
Participant is rehired by an Affiliated Company;
provided, however, that this suspension does not apply
if the Participant is rehired as a Limited Service
Employee. If the Plan makes a payment to an Active
Participant for a month during which benefits should
have been suspended under this subsection (a), the
Plan will recover the overpayment by deducting it from
future benefit payments with respect to the
Participant. The deduction will be taken, if
possible, entirely from the first payment due after
the suspension period. If the entire deduction cannot
be made from the first payment, no later payment may
be reduced by the deduction by more than 25%.
(b) Suspension of Benefits after Normal Retirement Date.
(1) Payment of benefits to a Participant who has
reached his Annuity Starting Date will be
suspended for any month following his Normal
Retirement Date in which the Participant is
rehired by an Affiliated Company and is credited
with at least 40 Hours of Service during the
month.
(A) This suspension does not apply if the
Participant is rehired as a Limited Service
Employee.
(B) This suspension does not apply if the
Participant has reached his Mandatory
Commencement Date.
(2) Recovery of Overpayments. If the Plan makes a
payment to an Active Participant for a month
during which benefits should have been suspended
under paragraph (1), the Plan will recover the
overpayment by deducting it from future benefit
payments with respect to the Participant. The
deduction will be taken, if possible, entirely
from the first payment due after the suspension
period. If the entire deduction cannot be made
from the first payment, no later payment may be
reduced by the deduction by more than 25%.
(3) Notice Requirements and Claims Procedures.
Payments will be suspended under this subsection
(b) only upon notice to the Participant by
personal delivery or first class mail of the rules
governing suspensions and that KRIPCO intends to
suspend benefit payments. Any Participant in pay
status who is rehired by an Affiliated Company
should notify KRIPCO that he has been rehired. A
Participant may appeal a suspension of benefits in
the same manner as a denial of benefits.
11.03 Death Benefits
A rehired Participant who is a Covered Employee will again be
entitled to the coverage of the death benefit provisions of
Article 10, and not in accordance with the form of payment
elected before rehire. The calculation of the death benefit
will be based on the Participant's entire Accrued Benefit at
the time of the Participant's death.
11.04 Payment of Benefits Upon Subsequent Termination of
Employment
(a) Amount.
(1) Prior Service.
(A) General Rule. In general, the Accrued
Benefit earned following a rehire is
calculated by taking into account all Vesting
Service, Total Service and Accrued Service
credited to the Participant immediately prior
to his immediately preceding termination of
employment and after the rehire. An Employee
who is reemployed within 12 months of his
termination of employment will be credited
with Vesting Service for the intervening
period of time.
(B) Effect of Prior Lump Sum Payment. If the
Participant is rehired after a lump sum
payment is made under Section 7.04(e) or
7.01(a) representing the Participant's entire
Accrued Benefit, the Participant's Accrued
Service upon which the payment was based
shall not be reinstated and, accordingly,
shall be disregarded for calculating the
Participant's subsequent benefit. Vesting
Service and Total Service credited to the
Participant immediately prior to his
immediately preceding termination of
employment will, however, generally be
restored. If the Participant received a
deemed lump sum payment under Section
7.01(b), all Vesting Service, Total Service
and Accrued Service credited to the
Participant immediately prior to his
immediately preceding termination of
employment will be restored.
(2) Average Participating Compensation. In general,
the Accrued Benefit earned following a rehire is
calculated by using pre-rehire years, if
necessary, to get a full 39-month period for the
purpose of determining APC.
(3) Minimum Benefit. The Accrued Benefit calculated
following a rehire is calculated taking into
account the minimum benefit rules of Section
5.06(e).
(4) Cost of Living Adjustments. If the rehired
Participant had been receiving benefits from the
Plan prior to his rehire and if that benefit had
been adjusted as described in Appendix C of the
Prior Plan, the benefit payable upon his
subsequent termination of employment shall be no
less than the adjusted benefit he had previously
been receiving.
(b) Time of Payment. Benefits payable to a Participant
who has not yet reached his Normal Retirement Date
will be payable in accordance with the normal rules
for payment under Article 6. Benefits payable to a
Participant who has reached his Normal Retirement Date
which have been suspended under Section 11.02(b) will
resume on or before the later of:
(1) the first day of the third calendar month
following the calendar month in which the
Participant fails to complete at least 40 Hours of
Service; or
(2) the first day of the calendar month following the
month in which the Participant notifies KRIPCO
that he has failed to complete at least 40 Hours
of Service in a calendar month; and
the first payment will include the payment scheduled
to occur on the date payments commence and any amounts
withheld during the period between the end of the
month in which the Participant fails to complete at
least 40 Hours of Service and the resumption of
payments.
(c) Form of Payment. The Participant's entire Accrued
Benefit will be payable in accordance with the normal
rules for payment options and the date payments resume
will be considered his Annuity Starting Date. See
Article 7.
ARTICLE 12. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND FUNDING
12.01 Employer Contributions
The Employer intends to contribute such amounts as it
determines to be required for the purpose of meeting the costs
of the Plan, taking into account the Employer's contributions
made under the Prior Plan before January 1, 1976, and the
benefits purchased thereby. The intended contributions will be
determined by annual actuarial valuations on the basis of such
actuarial methods and assumptions as are adopted by KRIPCO
after consultation with an enrolled actuary. The Employer
shall comply with the applicable minimum funding standards
provided in Code section 412. Amounts contributed to the Plan
may be in the form of cash, qualifying employer securities
(including
authorized but unissued shares of the common stock of Eastman
Kodak Company), or other property acceptable to the Trustee.
The value of any qualifying employer securities contributed to
the Plan shall be determined by a reputable and independent
investment banker appointed by KRIPCO for such purpose, and
shall not exceed the reported closing price on the New York
Stock Exchange on the date of contribution to the Plan.
12.02 Diversion Prohibited
All contributions by the Employer are for the exclusive benefit
of Participants and any other persons entitled to benefits
under the Plan. Subject to Section 15.02, no amounts arising
from the Employer's contributions will revert to the Employer
prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to
such Participants and other persons. Any forfeitures arising
under the Plan will not be applied to increase the benefits any
person would otherwise receive under the Plan but will be
applied to reduce the Employer's contributions under the Plan.
12.03 Return of Erroneous or Nondeductible Contributions
All contributions to the Plan or Trust are conditioned on their
deductibility in the year for which contributed.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the case of
a contribution, or any part thereof, which is made by a mistake
of fact or which is disallowed as a deduction under the Code,
the Trustee shall, upon KRIPCO's request, return to the
Employer the amount of such contribution so requested so long
as the repayment is made within one year after the erroneous
contribution is made or the deduction is disallowed.
12.04 Funding Policy
KRIPCO will be responsible for establishing any necessary
funding policy in order to carry out the purposes of this Plan.
12.05 Employee Contributions
Employee contributions are neither required not permitted.
ARTICLE 13. ADMINISTRATION
13.01 Appointment of Committee
The Board or the Benefit Plans Committee shall appoint KRIPCO
to control and manage the operation and administration of the
Plan and Trust as and to the extent set forth in the Plan and
Trust Agreement. The members of KRIPCO may, in the discretion
of the Board or the Benefit Plans Committee, be Employees.
However, Employees shall not be entitled to compensation from
the Trust Fund
for their services as members of KRIPCO. The members named to
KRIPCO shall be designated in writing and shall acknowledge in
writing that they are fiduciaries under the Plan. The Board or
the Benefit Plans Committee may at any time add or remove a
member of KRIPCO and appoint a successor. Any member may
resign by delivering his written resignation to the Board or
the Benefit Plans Committee. Vacancies existing in KRIPCO
shall be filled by the Board or the Benefit Plans Committee,
but KRIPCO may act notwithstanding any vacancies.
13.02 Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator
KRIPCO shall be the named fiduciary and plan administrator as
those terms are used in ERISA. KRIPCO shall be the agent for
the service of legal process with respect to the Plan.
13.03 Powers and Duties of Committee
KRIPCO shall administer the Plan in accordance with its terms
and shall have all the powers necessary to carry out the
provisions of the Plan, except such powers as are specifically
reserved to the Board, the Benefit Plans Committee or some
other person. KRIPCO's powers include the power to make,
publish, and apply such rules and regulations as it may deem
necessary to carry out the provisions of the Plan. Such rules
and regulations shall include, without limitation by reason of
enumeration, rules and regulations for determining the
qualified status of domestic relations orders in accordance
with Code section 414(p), and for administering distributions
pursuant to Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. KRIPCO shall
have full discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and to
answer all questions that arise concerning the application,
administration, and interpretation of the Plan. KRIPCO's
interpretations and conclusions shall be final and binding upon
all parties.
13.04 Operation of KRIPCO
KRIPCO shall act by a majority of its members at the time in
office, and such action may be taken either by a vote at a
meeting or without a meeting. Any action taken without a
meeting shall be reflected in a written instrument signed by a
majority of the members of KRIPCO. A member of KRIPCO who is
also a Participant shall not vote on any question relating
personally and uniquely to himself. Any such question shall be
decided by the majority of the remaining members of KRIPCO.
KRIPCO may authorize any one or more of its members to execute
any document or documents on behalf of KRIPCO, in which event
KRIPCO shall notify the Trustee in writing of such action and
the name or names of its member or members so designated. The
Trustee will be provided with signature cards and such other
reasonable assurances as it may require. The Trustee
thereafter shall accept and rely upon any document executed by
such member or members as representing action by KRIPCO until
KRIPCO shall file with the Trustee a written revocation of such
designation. KRIPCO may adopt such bylaws or regulations as it
deems desirable for the conduct of its affairs. KRIPCO shall
keep minutes, records, and other data as may be necessary for
the proper administration of the Plan.
13.05 Claims Review Procedure
KRIPCO shall maintain a procedure under which any Participant
or Contingent Annuitant (hereinafter called "claimant") whose
claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied will receive
written notice which clearly sets forth the specific reason or
reasons for such denial, the specific plan provision or
provisions on which the denial is based, any additional
information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim, if
possible, an explanation of why such additional information is
necessary, and an explanation of the Plan's claim review
procedure. Said procedure shall allow a claimant at least 60
days after receipt of the written notice of denial to request a
review of such denied claim, and KRIPCO shall make its decision
based on such review within 60 days (120 days if special
circumstances require more time) of its receipt of the request
for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and
shall clearly describe the reasons for KRIPCO's decision.
KRIPCO's decision shall be final and binding upon all parties.
13.06 Power to Appoint Advisers
KRIPCO may appoint such actuaries, accountants, attorneys,
investment advisers, Investment Managers, specialists, and
other persons as it deems necessary or desirable in connection
with the administration of this Plan. Such accountants and
attorneys may, but need not, be accountants and attorneys for
the Employer. KRIPCO shall be entitled to rely upon any
opinions or reports which shall be furnished to it by any such
actuary, accountant, attorney or other specialist.
13.07 Investment Jurisdiction of KRIPCO
KRIPCO shall possess the authority to appoint an Investment
Manager or Managers to manage (including the power to acquire
and dispose of) all or any of the assets of the Trust. In the
event of any such appointment, KRIPCO shall establish the
portion of the assets of the Trust which shall be subject to
the management of the Investment Manager and shall so notify
the Trustee in writing. Likewise, KRIPCO may establish that
all or a portion of the assets of the Trust shall be subject to
the investment jurisdiction of KRIPCO itself and shall advise
the Trustee of such determination. With respect to such assets
over which either an Investment Manager or KRIPCO has
investment responsibility, the Investment Manager or KRIPCO
shall possess all of the investment powers and responsibilities
granted to the Trustee under the Trust Agreement, and the
Trustee shall invest and reinvest such assets pursuant to the
written directions of the Investment Manager or KRIPCO, as the
case may be. If KRIPCO so directs, an Investment Manager shall
have the power to acquire and dispose of assets in the name of
the Trust. The investment jurisdiction of KRIPCO may be
exercised in the form of (i) directing that certain investments
be made or liquidated, (ii) directing that certain investments
not be made, (iii) requiring that the Trustee obtain KRIPCO's
approval prior to acquiring or disposing of any asset, (iv)
directing that the Trustee act as a custodian with respect to
certain designated investments or assets, or in any other
manner consonant with its duties as a fiduciary.
The Trustee shall have no investment responsibility with
respect to the assets subject to the investment jurisdiction of
KRIPCO or an Investment Manager, and shall have no duty to
inquire into the direction of KRIPCO or an Investment Manager,
to solicit such directions, nor to review and follow the
investments made pursuant to any such direction, other than to
the extent provided by law.
13.08 Expenses
All reasonable expenses of administering the Plan and Trust,
including but not limited to reasonable expenses and
compensation of the Trustee, fees of actuaries, attorneys,
auditors, investment advisors, Investment Managers and other
consultants, and PBGC premiums (including both the flat rate
and the variable rate portions of the premiums) shall be a
charge upon the Trust Fund and shall be withdrawn from the
Trust Fund at the direction of KRIPCO unless the amount of such
compensation and expenses shall be separately paid by the
Employer.
The Employer may initially pay any expense that normally would
be a charge on the Trust Fund and later obtain reimbursement
from the Trust Fund. Reimbursement would be available even in
cases where, at the time of the Employer's initial payment of
the expense it is not clear that the Employer may lawfully seek
reimbursement from the Trust Fund, but the Employer's legal
right to reimbursement is later clarified. In certain
situations, such as litigation, the Employer may choose to bear
costs initially, but obtain reimbursement many years after the
costs were incurred. Such delayed reimbursements shall be
permissible.
13.09 Duties of Fiduciaries
All fiduciaries under the Plan and Trust shall act solely in
the interests of the Participants and their beneficiaries and
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan, the
Trust Agreement and ERISA, and with the care, skill, prudence,
and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such
matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like
character and with like aims. Any person may serve in more
than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan and Trust.
To the extent that they possess and exercise investment
responsibility, fiduciaries shall diversify investments so as
to minimize the risks of large losses, unless under the
circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so.
13.10 Liability of Members
No members of KRIPCO shall incur any liability for any action
or failure to act, excepting only liability for his own breach
of fiduciary or co-fiduciary duty. The Employer shall
indemnify each member of KRIPCO and any Employee acting on its
behalf against any and all claims, loss, damages, expense, and
liability arising from any action or failure to act.
13.11 Allocation of Responsibility
The Board, the Benefit Plans Committee, KRIPCO, and the Trustee
possess certain specified powers, duties, responsibilities, and
obligations under the Plan and Trust Agreement. It is intended
under this Plan and the Trust Agreement that each be
responsible solely for the proper exercise of its own functions
and that each shall not be responsible for any act or failure
to act of another, unless otherwise responsible for a breach of
its own fiduciary duty or for breach of duty by another
fiduciary under the rules of fiduciary responsibility.
Generally, the Board or the Benefit Plans Committee shall be
responsible for appointing and removing KRIPCO, and for
amending and terminating the Plan and Trust Agreement.
KRIPCO is responsible for appointing and removing the Trustee
and for administering the Plan and possesses certain investment
powers as described herein; and the Trustee is responsible for
the management and control of the Plan assets to the extent
provided in the Trust Agreement. The Board or KRIPCO may act
to allocate or delegate fiduciary duties by designating persons
and committees other than named fiduciaries to carry out
fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan (other than trustee
responsibilities as defined in ERISA section 405(c)(3)); but
such action may be taken only in accordance with the following
procedure:
(a) Such action must be approved by at least a majority of
the members of the Board or KRIPCO, as the case may
be;
(b) If such action is not unanimously approved, the vote
cast by each member for or against such action shall
be recorded as a part of the official minutes of the
Board or KRIPCO, as the case may be; and
(c) Any delegation of fiduciary responsibilities or any
allocation of fiduciary responsibilities among members
of the Board or KRIPCO may be modified or rescinded by
the Board or KRIPCO according to the procedure set
forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
ARTICLE 14. AMENDMENT
14.01 Power to Amend
Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, the Board
reserves the right and the Board and the Benefit Plans
Committee have the right, at any time and from time to time, to
modify or amend in whole or in part any or all the provisions
of the Plan; provided that
(a) neither the Board nor the Benefit Plans Committee
shall make any such modification or amendment which:
(1) except as provided in Section 15.02, shall operate
to recapture for the Employer any contributions
previously made under the Plan by the Employer
prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities for
benefits hereunder, or
(2) except to the extent required to permit the Plan
to meet the requirements or the requirements of
any governmental authority, shall affect adversely
in any way any rights theretofore acquired under
the Plan by Retired Participants; and
(b) the Board, and not the Benefit Plans Committee shall
make any modification or amendment which, in the
judgment of the Chairman of the Board, is likely to
result in annual increased cost or liability to
Eastman Kodak Company or the Plan of $50 million or
more.
Nothing in this Plan prevents Eastman Kodak Company from
reducing or eliminating at any time benefit liabilities that
are not accrued benefits as defined in Code section 411(a)(7)
or benefits protected under Code section 411(d)(6). In
addition, Eastman Kodak Company may reduce any benefits under
the Plan prospectively.
14.02 Necessary Amendments
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01(a) or any other
provision of the Plan, any modification or amendment of the
Plan may be made which the Board deems necessary or appropriate
to conform the Plan to, or to satisfy the conditions of, any
law, governmental regulations or rulings, and to permit the
Plan and the Trust to meet the requirements of ERISA or the
Code or the applicable provisions of any subsequent or other
law.
14.03 No Reduction in Accrued Benefits
No amendment to the plan (including a change in the actuarial
basis for determining optional or early retirement benefits)
shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of
decreasing a Participant's Accrued Benefit.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's accrued
benefit may be reduced to the extent permitted under section
412(c)(8) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 14.03, a
plan amendment that has the effect of (1) eliminating or
reducing an early retirement benefit or a retirement-type
subsidy, or (2) eliminating an optional form of benefit, with
respect to benefits attributable to service before the
amendment shall be treated as reducing accrued benefits. In
the case of a retirement-type subsidy, the preceding sentence
shall apply only with respect to a Participant who satisfies
(either before or after the amendment) the pre-amendment
conditions for the subsidy. In general, a retirement-type
subsidy is a subsidy that continues after retirement, but does
not include a qualified disability benefit, a medical benefit,
a social security supplement, a death benefit (including life
insurance). Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of a plan is
amended, in the case of an employee who is a Participant as of
the later of the date such amendment is adopted or the date it
becomes effective, the nonforfeitable percentage (determined as
of such date) of such employee's Employer-provided accrued
benefit will not be less than the percentage computed under the
plan without regard to such amendment.
ARTICLE 15. Termination and Merger
15.01 Power to Terminate
Eastman Kodak Company reserves the right at any time to
terminate the Plan or to partially terminate the Plan by
written resolution of the Board or the Benefit Plans Committee.
Except as provided in Section 15.02, no such action by the
Employer shall operate to recapture for the Employer any
contributions previously made under the Plan by the Employer
prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities for benefits
hereunder. Except to the extent required to permit the Plan to
meet the requirements or the requirements of any governmental
authority, no such action by the Employer shall affect
adversely in any way any Accrued Benefits or rights theretofore
acquired under the Plan by Retired Participants.
15.02 Termination of the Plan
(a) Termination. In the event of a termination of the
Plan (but not a partial termination), the interests of
Active Participants in their benefit liabilities (as
defined under Title IV of ERISA and limited to
"accrued benefits" as defined in Code section
411(a)((7) and to benefits protected under Code
section 411(d)(6)) shall, to the extent funded,
automatically become fully vested and nonforfeitable,
and their interests in all other benefits under the
Plan shall be permanently forfeited. In the event of
a termination of the Plan, benefit liabilities may be
satisfied by the payment of lump sums, through the
purchase of annuity contracts, or by any other method
permitted by law. In the event of the payment of lump
sums on
account of the Plan's termination, the amount of the
lump sums will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the
Normal Retirement Benefit or, for those who have
passed Normal Retirement Date, the Actuarial
Equivalent of the Deferred Retirement Benefit; no
subsidies will be included in the calculations. Upon
satisfaction of benefit liabilities, any residual
assets remaining in the Plan shall revert to Eastman
Kodak Company.
(b) Partial Termination. In the event of a partial
termination (as defined under Code section 411(d)(3))
of the Plan, the rights of Active Participants
affected by the partial termination shall, to the
extent funded, automatically become fully vested but
only to the extent required by statute and regulation.
In the event of a horizontal partial termination, only
that portion of a Participant's benefit (if any) which
is affected by the horizontal partial termination will
become vested. Nothing in this Plan is intended to
give any rights greater than those required by statute
or regulation with respect to partial terminations.
No surplus will be allocated to benefits in the event
of a partial termination.
(c) Special Nondiscrimination Rule. If the Plan
terminates, the benefit of any highly compensated
employee and highly compensated former employee (as
determined under Code section 414(q)) is limited to a
benefit that is nondiscriminatory under Code section
401(a)(4).
15.03 Merger of the Plan
The terms of any merger of this Plan into another plan, any
consolidation of this Plan with another plan, or any transfer
of assets or liabilities from this Plan to another plan shall
require that, in the event that this Plan or the other plan
terminates immediately after the merger, consolidation or
transfer, each Participant would receive an "accrued benefit"
which is no less than the "accrued benefit" he would have
received if this Plan had terminated immediately before the
merger, consolidation or transfer. For purposes of this
Section, the following definition and rules of interpretation
shall apply:
(a) "Accrued benefit" - accrued benefit as that term is
defined under Code section 411(a)(7).
(b) The determination of what "accrued benefit" would be
payable to a Participant immediately before a merger,
consolidation or transfer will be determined on the
assumption that benefits payable under the Plan upon
termination at that time will be payable solely from
the Plan's assets at that time.
No Affiliated Company will make any additional contribution to
the Plan by virtue of this Section (either alone or in
combination with any other provision governing the Plan).
ARTICLE 16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.01 Nonassignability of Benefits
No benefit under this Plan shall be subject in any manner to
voluntary or involuntary alienation, anticipation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance, nor to seizure,
attachment or other legal process for the debts of a
Participant or a beneficiary, except that the Trustee shall
honor:
(a) written instructions from a Participant or beneficiary
receiving benefit payments under the Plan to pay
(1) up to 10 percent of such benefit payments for any
purpose other than paying Plan administration
costs; or
(2) all or a portion of such benefit payments to a
third party (including the Employer) provided that
the third party files a written acknowledgment
with KRIPCO that the third party has no
enforceable right in or to any benefit payment
under the Plan (except to the extent the third
party actually receives all or a portion of the
benefit payment under the terms of the
arrangement);
until such instructions are revoked or modified by
such Participant or beneficiary;
(b) a Qualified Domestic Relations Order; or
(c) a Federal tax levy pursuant to Code section 6331 or a
collection by the United States on a judgment
resulting from an unpaid Federal tax assessment if and
to the extent that KRIPCO has determined that
compliance with such levy or judgment is required
under any applicable Federal law.
16.02 Construction
The Plan will be construed, administered, and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except as
such laws are superseded by ERISA. Whenever Plan language is
drafted with respect to requirements for tax-qualified plans
under the Code or ERISA or the regulations and rulings under
the Code or ERISA, such language will be interpreted as
intended only to implement such statute, regulation or ruling
unless additional rights or benefits are given explicitly and
clearly by the language of the Plan.
16.03 Gender and Number
Throughout this plan, the masculine will include the feminine
and the singular will include the plural unless the context
indicates otherwise.
16.04 Top-Heavy Requirements
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the following
rules shall apply for any Plan Year if as of the last day of
the preceding Plan Year, based on valuations as of such date,
the sum of the present value of accrued benefits and accounts
of "key employees" (within the meaning of Code section 416)
exceeds 60 percent of a similar sum for all Active Participants
under each plan any Affiliated Company in which a "key
employee" participates and each other plan of any Affiliated
Company which enables any such plan to meet the requirements of
Code sections 401(a)(4) or 410, taking into account for this
purpose amounts distributed within the preceding five years but
excluding accrued benefits and accounts of a prior "key
employee."
(a) All present and all future accrued benefits of every
Participant shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable.
(b) Each Participant shall be provided an employer-funded
minimum accrued benefit which, when expressed as an
annual retirement benefit payable in the form of a
straight life annuity (with no ancillary benefits)
beginning at normal retirement age, is not less than
the product of 20 percent and such Participant's
average compensation for the period of five
consecutive years during which the Participant had the
greatest aggregate compensation.
(c) No benefits may accrue on behalf of any Participant
the sum of whose defined benefit plan fraction and
defined contribution plan fraction, as defined in Code
section 415(e), exceeds 1.0 when the dollar amounts
are multiplied by 1.0 rather than 1.25.
The provisions of this Section shall be interpreted in
accordance with the provisions of Code section 416 and any
regulations thereunder, which are hereby expressly incorporated
by reference.

pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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

thereof, provided that any person becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or

was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters 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 this paragraph,
considered as though such person were a member of the
Incumbent Board.

Employee who terminates within five years following a
Change In Control, unless the termination is due to:

who ultimately retires or terminates with a vested
right under the terms of the Plan.

retirement in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of the Plan only for
Participants who are age 50 or older as of the date of
any Change In Control. However, this Supplement will
be used, regardless of the age of the Participant as of
the date of any Change In Control, to determine
eligibility for a vested right in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.04 of the Plan. It also will
be used to calculate a benefit under (3) below.

Act and not on the basis of his actual entitlement

benefits.

determined by the Social Security Administration)
in determining the Participant's Primary Insurance
Amount; provided, however, that any Participant
who has Credited Service on or after

employment with the Employer, in which event
KRIPCO shall utilize those actual earnings in
determining the Participant's Primary Insurance
Amount;
C. If a Participant dies prior to his Normal
Retirement Date while currently employed by the
Employer, or if a Participant takes early
retirement in accordance with the provisions of
Subsection (4.02)(B) of Appendix I and chooses an

Normal Retirement Date, KRIPCO shall determine his
Primary Insurance Amount on the assumption that

employed on or after his Severance From Employer
Date and that payment of his Social Security
benefits will commence on the later of: (i) the
62nd anniversary of his date of birth, or (ii) his
Annuity Starting Date (if he takes early
retirement) or date of death:
D. If a Participant has a Severance From Employer
Date prior to attaining age 55, or if a
Participant has a Severance From Employer Date on
or after attaining age 55 but before his Normal
Retirement Date and either he does not qualify for
early retirement pursuant to the provisions of
Subsection (4.02)(B) of Appendix I or he elects
early retirement but does not choose an Annuity
Starting Date which falls before his Normal
Retirement Date, KRIPCO shall determine his
Primary Insurance Amount on the assumption that

Step 4: The Participant's Accrued Benefit
in Accordance with Subsections
(4.01)(B) and (4.01)(C) of Appendix
I. The Participant's Accrued
Benefit calculated by taking into
account all Credited Service and
limiting annual Regular Earnings
for all twelve-month periods to the
Code section 401(a)(17) limit in
effect on the first day of the Plan
Year in which the twelve-month
period begins.
(4.02) Early Retirement Benefits
A. In the case of any Participant who retired from
the active service of an Employer prior to January
1, 1989, or any Participant who had a Severance
From Group Date prior to January 1, 1989, at a
time when he was a Vested Participant under the
terms of the Old Plan, the Old Salaried Plan, or
the Sterling Drug Inc. Retirement Plan for
Salaried Employees as then in effect, and who does
not again participate in the Sterling Salaried
Program, the eligibility of any such Participant
for early retirement benefits, and the amount of
early retirement benefits payable to any such
Participant, were determined in accordance with
the terms of the Old Plan, the Old Salaried Plan
or the Sterling Drug Inc. Retirement Plan for
Salaried Employees as then in effect.
B. On or after January 1, 1989, any Vested
Participant may elect to retire from active
service at any time on or after attaining his 55th
birthday but before his Normal Retirement Date.
If a Vested Participant elects early retirement,
he shall be entitled to a yearly Normal Retirement
Benefit computed in accordance with Section (4.01)
of Appendix I which shall commence on his Normal
Retirement Date or on any date prior thereto which
is the first day of a month, which is elected by
the Vested Participant within the immediately
preceding 90-day period, and which is not more
than ten years prior to his Normal Retirement
Date. Any Vested Participant who, on or after
January 1, 1989 and prior to attaining his 55th
birthday, has a Severance From Group Date may
elect to have the Accrued Benefit to which he is
entitled in accordance with Part VI of Appendix I
commence as of the first day of any month which is
elected by the Vested Participant within the
immediately preceding 90-day period and which is
not more than ten years prior to his Normal
Retirement Date. If a Vested Participant elects
an Annuity Starting Date prior to his 62nd
birthday in accordance with this Subsection
(4.02)(B) of
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 32 of 73
Appendix I, the Participant's yearly Normal
Retirement Benefit shall be reduced by 3 percent
for each year, and proportionately for each month,
by which his Annuity Starting Date precedes the
first day of the month coincident with or next
following his 62nd birthday.
(1) If the Participant has a Severance From Group
Date prior to attaining his 62nd birthday,
and if the Annuity Starting Date elected by
the Participant is on or after his 62nd
birthday, and if the Participant does not
perform an Hour of Service on or after
January 1, 1992 for a member of the Kodak
Control Group other than the L & F Products
Division of the Corporation or a subsidiary
operated as a part of that Division, the
Participant's yearly Normal Retirement
Benefit shall be reduced by 2 percent for
each year, and proportionately for each
month, by which his Annuity Starting Date
precedes his Normal Retirement Date;
(2) If the Annuity Starting Date elected by the
Participant is prior to his 62nd birthday,
the Participant's yearly Normal Retirement
Benefit shall be reduced by 3 percent for
each year, and proportionately for each
month, by which his Annuity Starting Date
precedes either his Normal Retirement Date
or, if the Participant performs an Hour of
Service on or after January 1, 1992 for a
member of the Kodak Control Group other than
the L & F Products Division of the
Corporation or a subsidiary operated as a
part of that Division, the first day of the
month coincident with or next following his
62nd birthday.
(4.03) Benefits at Late Retirement Date
A. A Participant may defer his retirement from the
active service of an Employer until any date after
his Normal Retirement Date that the Participant,
upon written notice to the Employer, elects;
provided, however, that the Employer may, to the
extent permitted by any applicable state or
Federal age discrimination law, require a
Participant to retire as of his Normal Retirement
Date or any date before or after his Normal
Retirement Date.
B. If a Participant deferred his retirement until
after his Normal Retirement Date in accordance
with Subsection (4.03)(A) of Appendix I and
retired from the active service of an
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 33 of 73
Employer prior to January 1, 1987, the retirement
benefits payable to him were determined in
accordance with the terms of the Sterling Drug
Inc. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees, the
Old Salaried Plan or the Old Plan as then in
effect.
C. If a Participant defers his retirement until after
his Normal Retirement Date in accordance with
Subsection (4.03)(A) of Appendix I and retires
from the active service of an Employer on or after
January 1, 1987, he shall be entitled to the
greater of:
(1) A yearly Normal Retirement Benefit computed
as of his Severance From Employer Date in
accordance with the terms and provisions of
Subsection (4.01)(B) of Appendix I in effect
on such date, with payment commencing on the
first day of the month coincident with or
next following his Severance From Employer
Date; or
(2) A yearly Normal Retirement Benefit computed
as of his Normal Retirement Date in
accordance with the terms and provisions of
Subsection (4.01)(B) of Appendix I in effect
on such date, with payment commencing on the
first day of the month coincident with or
next following his Severance From Employer
Date; provided, however, that the portion of
such Normal Retirement Benefit that is equal
to the Participant's Accrued Benefit Derived
From Employee Contributions, if any (computed
without regard to the Participant's
contributions, if any, utilized to purchase
annuities under Contract AC 392 on or before
May 14, 1962) shall be increased so as to be
of equivalent actuarial value to a benefit
immediately payable at the Participant's
Normal Retirement Date, such actuarial
adjustment to be made on the basis of the UP-
1984 Mortality Table without age setbacks and
with interest at five percent (5%) as
specified in Section 3.05 of Revenue Ruling
76-47 (or on the basis of such other general
actuarial factors as may be specified in the
comparable section of any governmental ruling
or regulation which supersedes Revenue Ruling
76-47); and further provided that the portion
of such Normal Retirement Benefit, if any,
that is represented by annuities purchased
for the Participant under Contract AC 392 on
or before May 14, 1962 shall be increased so
as to include any increments that may result
from deferred payment of such annuities.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section (4.03) of Appendix I, if a Participant is
a key employee within the meaning of Section
416(i)(1)(A)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code
with respect to the Plan Year in which he attains
70-1/2 years of age before January 1, 1988, or if
the Participant attains age 70-1/2 on or after
January 1, 1988, and if the Participant does not
retire at any time during that Plan Year in
accordance with Subsection (4.03)(A) of Appendix
I, then even though he continues to be employed,
the Participant shall be deemed to have retired as
of the close of that Plan Year in accordance with
Subsection (4.03)(A) of Appendix I and shall
commence to receive his Normal Retirement Benefit,
computed in accordance with Subsection (4.03)(C)
of Appendix I on the assumption that the date on
which he is deemed to have retired is the date
that he actually retires and in a form determined
pursuant to Part VII of Appendix I, on the first
day of the immediately succeeding Plan Year (so
that in no event whatsoever will payment of such a
Participant's Normal Retirement Benefit, as so
computed, commence to be made to him later than
April 1 of the Plan Year immediately succeeding
the Plan Year in which he attains age 70-1/2, and
so that no Survivor's Benefit will be payable
pursuant to Part V of Appendix I in the event of
the Participant's death), subject to the following
conditions:
(1) If the Participant remains employed after he
begins to receive his Normal Retirement
Benefit pursuant to this Subsection (4.03)(D)
of Appendix I, then once the Participant
actually retires from the active service of
an Employer, his Normal Retirement Benefit
shall be recalculated as of his Severance
From Employer Date in accordance with
Subsection (4.03)(C) of Appendix I, and the
larger of (i) the Normal Retirement Benefit
as so recalculated, or (ii) the Normal
Retirement Benefit previously being paid to
him pursuant to this Subsection (4.03)(D) of
Appendix I, shall be adjusted pursuant to
Subsection (4.03)(D)(2) of Appendix I and
shall commence, in the same form pursuant to
Part VII of Appendix I as benefits were paid
prior to his Severance From Employer Date, on
the first day of the month coincident with or
next following his Severance From Employer
Date; and
(2) in accordance with whatever regulations, if
any, which may be promulgated under Section
411(b)(1)(H) of the Internal Revenue Code,
the Participant's Normal Retirement Benefit
determined in accordance with
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 35 of 73
Subsection (4.03)(D)(1) of Appendix I shall
be adjusted by offsetting from it the
actuarial equivalent of the benefits that
were paid to the Participant from the
Sterling Salaried Program prior to his
Severance From Employer Date (using the
general actuarial factors specified in
Section 3.05 of Revenue Ruling 76-47, or any
governmental ruling or publication
superseding that ruling).
(4.04) Primary Limitation on Benefits
A. In no event shall a Participant's annual benefit
exceed, at any time during a Plan Year, the lesser
of:
(1) $90,000 as adjusted as of January 1 of the
1986 calendar year and each calendar year
thereafter (with respect to the Plan Year
coinciding with each such calendar year) for
increases in the cost of living by the
Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate; or
(2) 100% of the Participant's average total
earnings from the Kodak Control Group for his
three most highly-compensated consecutive
calendar years (or, if the Participant has
been employed for less than three consecutive
calendar years, his average total earnings
for the actual number of consecutive calendar
years of his employment).
For the purposes of this Section (4.04) and
Section (4.05) of Appendix I, a Participant's
"annual benefit" shall mean that portion of
the yearly retirement benefit which the
Participant is entitled to receive under the
Sterling Salaried Program, payable either as
a straight life annuity in accordance with
Subsection (7.01)(A) of Appendix I or, if the
Participant is married and his spouse is
designated Contingent Annuitant, as a
qualified joint and survivor annuity in
accordance with Subsection (7.01)(B) of
Appendix I or Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of
Appendix I, which is attributable solely to
employer contributions (such portion of his
yearly retirement benefit to be determined in
a manner similar to the manner for
determining his Accrued Benefit Derived From
Employer Contributions). If the
Participant's yearly retirement benefit is
payable in a form other than one of the forms
specified in the preceding sentence, it shall
be adjusted for purposes of this Subsection
(4.04)(A) of Appendix I to be the
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 36 of 73
Actuarial Equivalent of a straight life
annuity beginning at the same age. If a
Participant has, in addition to participation
in the Sterling Salaried Program,
participated in one or more other defined
benefit plans maintained by the Kodak Control
Group (including participation under the
remainder of the Plan) which qualify under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code
(without regard to whether such a plan has
been terminated), his "annual benefit" shall
be computed by taking into account his yearly
retirement benefits from all such other
plans.
For the purposes of this Section (4.04) and
Section (4.05) of Appendix I, a Participant's
"total earnings" shall mean all compensatory
amounts paid or made available to the
Participant by the Kodak Control Group for
personal services rendered by the
Participant, excluding therefrom: (i) any
compensatory amounts which are payable for
the benefit of the Participant rather than
directly to him and which are excluded from
the Participant's gross income for Federal
income tax purposes, including any amounts
contributed to the Sterling Salaried Program
or any other retirement plan; (ii) any
compensatory amounts which are realized for
Federal income tax purposes upon the exercise
of a non-statutory stock option granted by
the Corporation or Eastman Kodak Company or
upon the disposition of stock acquired under
a qualified or incentive stock option granted
by the Corporation or Eastman Kodak Company;
and (iii) any compensatory amounts which are
realized for Federal income tax purposes upon
the release from escrow of restricted stock
awarded by the Corporation or Eastman Kodak
Company.
For the purposes of this Section (4.04) and
Section (4.05) of Appendix I, the definition
of the term "Kodak Control Group" in Section
(2.24) of Appendix I shall be modified by
applying Section 415(h) of the Internal
Revenue Code in conjunction with Section
414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
B. If at any time the limitation specified in
Subsection (4.04)(A) of Appendix I would otherwise
be exceeded, then the Participant's rate of
benefit accrual under the Sterling Salaried
Program shall automatically be reduced to the
extent necessary to insure that the limitation is
not in fact exceeded.
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 37 of 73
C. If a Participant has less than 10 years of Vesting
Service at the time he begins to receive his
retirement benefits under the Sterling Salaried
Program, then the monetary limitations specified
in Subsections (4.04)(A)(1) and (2) of Appendix I
shall, as applied to such Participant, be reduced
by multiplying such limitations by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Participant's period of
Vesting Service and the denominator of which is
10.
D. Any provision of Subsection (4.04)(A) of Appendix
I to the contrary notwithstanding, if a
Participant's annual benefit commences to be paid
before he attains age 62, it shall not exceed the
Actuarial Equivalent of a yearly retirement
benefit in the amount of the monetary limitation
specified in Subsection (4.04)(A)(1) of Appendix I
commencing at age 62 (if such limitation is lower
than the limitation specified in Subsection
(4.04)(A)(2) of Appendix I). In no event,
however, shall such Actuarial Equivalent be less
than $75,000. Any provision of Subsection
(4.04)(A) of Appendix I to the contrary
notwithstanding, if a Participant's annual benefit
commences to be paid after he attains age 65, it
shall not exceed the Actuarial Equivalent of a
yearly retirement benefit in the amount of the
monetary limitation specified in Subsection
(4.04)(A)(1) of Appendix I commencing at age 65
(if such limitation is lower than the limitation
specified in Subsection (4.04)(A)(2) of Appendix
I).
E. With respect to any Participant who was
participating under the Sterling Drug Inc.
Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees on December
31, 1982, no provision of this Section (4.04) of
Appendix I shall at any time or in any manner
operate to reduce the Participant's Accrued
Benefit as of December 31, 1982, determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Sterling
Drug Inc. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees
in effect on July 1, 1982, to an amount less than
what it was on December 31, 1982. If a
Participant's Accrued Benefit as of December 31,
1982 is sufficient in amount to benefit from the
protection of this Subsection (4.04)(E) of
Appendix I, then that Accrued Benefit shall be the
multiplier of 1.25 in determining the denominator
of the defined benefit plan fraction under
Subsection (4.05)(A) of Appendix I rather than the
amount specified in Subsection (4.04)(A)(1) of
Appendix I, but only for so long as that Accrued
Benefit exceeds such amount.
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan

Appendix I
Page 38 of 73
(4.05) Secondary Limitation on Benefits
A. In the case of a Participant who is also a
participant in a defined contribution plan
maintained by the Kodak Control Group which
qualifies under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code, the sum of the defined benefit plan
fraction and the defined contribution plan
fraction for any calendar year, determined as of
the close of the calendar year, shall not exceed
1. In the event the sum of such fractions would
otherwise exceed 1, the Participant's rate of
benefit accrual under the Sterling Salaried
Program shall automatically be reduced to the
extent necessary to ensure that the sum of such
fractions does not in fact exceed 1.
For the purposes of this Subsection (4.05)(A) of
Appendix I, the "defined benefit plan fraction"
for any calendar year means a fraction, the
numerator of which is the projected annual benefit
of the Participant, such projected annual benefit
to be determined as of the close of the calendar
year and to be computed on the assumption that
the Participant will continue in employment with
the Kodak Control Group until age 65 and that all
other relevant factors used to compute benefits,
including compensation, will remain constant, and
the denominator of which is the lesser of (i) the
product of 1.25 multiplied by the limitation
specified in Subsection (4.04)(A)(1) of Appendix I
applicable to the calendar year, or (ii) the
product of 1.4 multiplied by the limitation
specified in Subsection (4.04)(A)(2) of Appendix I
determined as of the close of the calendar year.
For the purposes of this Subsection (4.05)(A) of
Appendix I, the "defined contribution plan
fraction" for any calendar year means a fraction,
the numerator of which is the sum, determined as
of the close of the calendar year, of the
aggregate annual additions under the defined
contribution plan for all calendar years, and the
denominator of which is the sum of the maximum
allowable amounts for the calendar year and for
all prior calendar years of the Participant's
employment with the Kodak Control Group (whether
or not the defined contribution plan was in
existence during all of those years). The "annual
addition" for any calendar year is the sum of the
following contributions made under the defined
contribution plan on the Participant's behalf: (i)
employer contributions (including forfeitures in
lieu thereof), (ii) employee contributions made
pursuant to a salary reduction agreement, (iii)
for calendar years before 1987, the lesser of
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 39 of 73
one-half of the employee contributions made
pursuant to payroll deductions or that portion of
the employee contributions made pursuant to
payroll deductions which is in excess of six
percent (6%) of his total earnings for the
calendar year, and (iv) for calendar years after
1986, employee contributions made pursuant to
payroll deductions. The "maximum allowable
amount" for any calendar year is the lesser of (i)
the product of 1.25 multiplied by the dollar
limitation applicable to that year under Section
415(c)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (ii)
the product of 1.4 multiplied by twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Participant's total earnings
for that year. If the Participant has
participated in more than one defined contribution
plan maintained by the Kodak Control Group
(without regard to whether such a plan has been
terminated), the numerator shall include the sum
of all annual additions for all calendar years
under all such defined contribution plans.
(4.06) Suspension of Benefits Upon Reemployment
A. In the event that an individual who is receiving,
or who is eligible to receive, retirement benefits
or benefits at termination of employment under the
Sterling Salaried Program accumulates 40 or more
Hours of Service during any calendar month after
his Severance From Group Date, the payment of
benefits to such individual will, subject to the
provisions of Subsections (4.06)(B) through
(4.06)(E) of Appendix I, be suspended during that
month, each succeeding month in which he
accumulates 40 or more Hours of Service, and until
such date as payments are to resume in accordance
with the provisions of Subsection (4.06)(C) of
Appendix I.
B. The portion of an individual's benefits which will
be suspended pursuant to Subsection (4.06)(A) of
Appendix I shall be determined as follows:
(1) In the case of benefits being paid in the
form of a straight life annuity or a
qualified joint and survivor annuity, that
portion of the monthly benefits which is
derived from employer contributions will be
permanently withheld.
(2) In the case of benefits being paid in any
other form, the portion of the monthly
benefits which will be permanently withheld
shall equal the lesser of: (i) the portion
derived from employer contributions of the
amount of monthly benefits which would be
payable if the
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan

Appendix I
Page 40 of 73
individual had been receiving his benefits in
the form of a straight life annuity
commencing at his actual Annuity Starting
Date or (ii) the portion derived from
employer contributions of the actual amount
paid or scheduled to be paid to such
individual for such month.
C. In the event that payment of an individual's
benefits has been suspended pursuant to Subsection
(4.06)(A) of Appendix I, payment of such benefits
shall resume on the first day of the second
calendar month following a calendar month in which
the individual does not accumulate 40 or more
Hours of Service; provided that the individual has
filed with KRIPCO a written request for resumption
of benefits stating that he has ceased to
accumulate Hours of Service. The first payment
upon such resumption shall include the payment for
such month as well as the payments for any
intervening months since the individual's
cessation of employment, less any permissible
reduction pursuant to Subsection (4.06)(D) of
Appendix I.
D. Each payment made upon or after the resumption of
payments pursuant to Subsection (4.06)(C) of
Appendix I will be reduced by an amount equal to
no more than 25% of such payment until such time
as the aggregate amount of such reductions is
equal to the aggregate amount of any payments made
to the individual after he had accumulated 40
Hours of Service in a calendar month but prior to
the date on which payments were actually
suspended.
E. No payments shall be withheld unless KRIPCO shall
have notified the individual, in writing by hand
or certified mail, during the first calendar month
in which payments are withheld that his benefits
are being suspended. Such notice shall (i) state
the reason that benefits are being suspended, (ii)
describe in general terms the provisions of the
Sterling Salaried Program applicable to such
suspensions, (iii) be accompanied by a copy of
such provisions, (iv) describe the procedure for
obtaining a review of such suspension, (v)
describe the procedure for presenting a claim for
resumption of benefits, (vi) and, if any reduction
of future payments is to be made pursuant to
Subsection (4.06)(D) of Appendix I, identify the
periods with respect to which reductions will be
made, the amounts of the payments with respect to
which future reductions will be made, and the
manner in which such reductions will be made.

(4.07) Permanent and Total Disability
A. A Participant who suffers a Permanent and Total
Disability shall continue to participate in the
Sterling Salaried Program as a Salaried Employee
during the period of his disability and, only for
the purposes of the Plan, shall be deemed not to
have incurred a Severance From Employer Date or a
Severance From Group Date as a result of his
disability. A disabled Participant shall, upon
attaining 65 years of age, take normal retirement
in accordance with Section (4.01) of Appendix I;
provided, however, that he may elect, upon or
after attaining 55 years of age, to take early
retirement in accordance with Section (4.02) of
Appendix I if the requirements of that Section are
fully satisfied; and further provided that he may
elect, upon attaining 65 years of age, to take
late retirement in accordance with Section (4.03)
of Appendix I. A disabled Participant who retires
under the Sterling Salaried Program pursuant to
this Subsection (4.07)(A) of Appendix I shall have
his retirement benefits computed by reference to
(i) the formulas in Subsection (4.01)(B) of
Appendix I as in effect on the Severance From
Employer Date which the Participant would have
incurred as a result of his disability but for the
operation of this Subsection (4.07)(A) of Appendix
I, and (ii) his Social Security Benefit and his
Final Earnings determined as of such Severance
From Employer Date (provided, however, that in
determining his Social Security Benefit he will be
deemed not to be gainfully employed pursuant to
Subsection (2.38)(D) of Appendix I during the
period of his Permanent and Total Disability). A
disabled Participant who dies during the period of
his Permanent and Total Disability and who is
entitled to Survivor's Benefit protection under
Part V of Appendix I shall have his Survivor's
Benefit computed (i) by reference to the
provisions of Part V of Appendix I as in effect on
the Severance From Employer Date which the
Participant would have incurred as a result of his
disability but for the operation of this
Subsection (4.07)(A) of Appendix I, and (ii)
otherwise in accordance with the rules herein
described for computing retirement benefits. If a
Participant who suffers a Permanent and Total
Disability recovers therefrom and resumes active
employment with the Employer, he shall continue to
participate in the Sterling Salaried Program after
his disability on the same basis as any other non-
disabled Salaried Employee. If, however, a
Participant who suffers a Permanent and Total
Disability recovers therefrom prior to retiring
under the Sterling Salaried Program pursuant to
this Subsection (4.07)(A) of Appendix I
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 42 of 73
but does not resume active employment with the
Kodak Control Group, he shall be deemed to have
incurred a Severance From Employer Date and a
Severance From Group Date on the date his
Permanent and Total Disability ends, and his
retirement benefits shall be computed by reference
to (i) the formulas in Subsection (4.01)(B) of
Appendix I as in effect on the Severance From
Employer Date which the Participant would have
incurred as a result of his disability but for the
operation of this Subsection (4.07)(A) of Appendix
I, and (ii) his Social Security Benefit and his
Final Earnings determined as of such Severance
From Employer Date (provided, however, that in
determining his Social Security Benefit he will be
deemed not to be gainfully employed during the
period of his Permanent and Total Disability but
thereafter to be so employed in accordance with
Subsection (2.38)(D) of Appendix I).
B. For purposes of the Sterling Salaried Program,
"Permanent and Total Disability" shall mean any
period of continuous disability resulting from
injury or disease which constitutes a total
disability, however so identified and defined, for
purposes of the Sterling Drug Inc. Long Term
Disability Plan (whether or not the Participant is
a participant in the Sterling Drug Inc. Long Term
Disability Plan).
C. Any other provision of the Sterling Salaried
Program to the contrary notwithstanding, the
commencement of a disabled Participant's
retirement benefits under the Sterling Salaried
Program shall be deferred until the first day of
the month next following the date final payment is
made to the Participant of the disability
allowance to which he is entitled under the
Sterling Drug Inc. Long Term Disability Plan or
other Employer-funded disability plan.

V. SURVIVOR'S BENEFIT
(5.01) Eligibility
A. If a Participant dies before his Annuity Starting
Date, is a Vested Participant and has been legally
married for a period of at least one year as of
the date of death and his spouse survives him,
then his surviving spouse shall be entitled to
receive an annual Survivor's Benefit. If a
Participant is not legally married as of the date
of death (or is but has not been legally married
for a period of at least one year as of the date
of death), and if the Participant has a living
parent dependent upon him who has been designated
by him as his sole Beneficiary pursuant to Section
(7.04) of Appendix I and who survives him, and if
the Participant is a Vested Participant who dies
on or after his 55th birthday while he is an
Employee or after taking early, normal or late
retirement in accordance with the provisions of
Section (4.01), (4.02) or (4.03) of Appendix I but
before his Annuity Starting Date, then his
surviving dependent parent shall be entitled to
receive an annual Survivor's Benefit.
B. If a Participant dies before his Annuity Starting
Date and without satisfying the requirements of
Subsection (5.01)(A) of Appendix I, then except as
otherwise provided in Subsection (7.03)(A) of
Appendix I, he shall forfeit all rights under the
Sterling Salaried Program and his Beneficiary
shall not be entitled to receive any benefits
under the Sterling Salaried Program by reason of
his death.
(5.02) Amount of Survivor's Benefit
A. If the surviving spouse or dependent parent of a
Participant is entitled to receive an annual
Survivor's Benefit pursuant to Subsection
(5.01)(A) of Appendix I, the amount of that annual
Survivor's Benefit shall be determined as follows:
(1) If the Participant has not incurred a

Participant's spouse is less than the
Participant's age); provided, however, that
in no event shall the annual Survivor's
Benefit payable to a surviving spouse be less
than what would have been payable were such
Accrued Benefit paid in the form of a
Contingent Annuitant Option pursuant to
Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of Appendix I with a
50 percent continuation to the surviving
spouse; and further provided that in no event
shall the annual Survivor's Benefit exceed
what would have been payable were the
Participant's Accrued Benefit (determined
solely for this purpose on the assumptions
that the Participant and the surviving spouse
or dependent parent lived until the
Participant's Normal Retirement Date and that
the Participant continued to receive Regular
Earnings until his Normal Retirement Date at
the same rate at which he was receiving
Regular Earnings for the latest regular pay
period ended prior to the date of his death,
provided that in the case of a salesman whose
base pay includes commissions, the amount of
such commissions to be included in his
Regular Earnings shall be the average amount
of such commissions received by him in all
his regular pay periods ending during the
twelve-month period immediately preceding the
earlier of the date of his death or the date
of commencement of a period of temporary
absence approved by the Employer and which is
terminated by his death) paid at his Normal
Retirement Date in the form of a Contingent
Annuitant Option pursuant to Subsection
(7.02)(A)(1) of Appendix I with a 50 percent
continuation to the surviving spouse or
dependent parent.
(2) If the Participant dies after incurring a
Severance From Group Date and becoming
entitled to benefits pursuant to Part IV or
Part VI of Appendix I, the annual Survivor's
Benefit shall be a life annuity equal to the
continuation that would have been payable if
the Participant's Accrued Benefit, determined
as of his Severance From Employer Date, were
paid in the form of a Contingent Annuitant
Option pursuant to Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of
Appendix I with a 50 percent continuation to
his surviving spouse.

(5.03) Payment of Survivor's Benefit
A. The annual Survivor's Benefit shall be payable on
a monthly basis throughout the lifetime of the
Participant's surviving spouse or dependent
parent. Except as otherwise provided in this
Subsection (5.03)(A) or in Subsection (5.03)(C) of
Appendix I, payment of the annual Survivor's
Benefit to a surviving spouse shall commence on
the later of the Participant's Normal Retirement
Date or the first day of the month next following
the date of the Participant's death and shall end
on the first day of the month in which the

spouse may elect in writing to have payment of the
annual Survivor's Benefit commence prior to the
Participant's Normal Retirement Date, on the first
day of the month next following the later of the
55th anniversary of the Participant's birth or the
date of the Participant's death, provided that
KRIPCO receives an appropriate written election
from the surviving spouse at least 30 (but not
more than 90) days before the date of commencement
of payment, and further provided that in this
event any calculation of the Contingent Annuitant
Option made for purposes of determining the
minimum benefit under Subsection (5.02)(A)(1) of
Appendix I or the benefit under Subsection
(5.02)(A)(2) of Appendix I shall be based on the
ages of the Participant and his surviving spouse
as of the date of commencement of payment. Except
as otherwise provided in Subsection (5.03)(C) of
Appendix I, payment of the annual Survivor's
Benefit to a surviving dependent parent shall
commence on the first day of the month next
following the date of the Participant's death and
shall end on the first day of the month in which
the dependent parent dies.
B. If the amount of an annual Survivor's Benefit is
determined pursuant to the provisions of
Subsection (5.02)(A)(1) of Appendix I and if the
payment thereof commences prior to the
Participant's Normal Retirement Date, the
percentage reductions specified in Subsections
(4.02)(B)(1) and (4.02)(B)(2) of Appendix I shall
not be applied. If the amount of an annual
Survivor's Benefit is determined pursuant to the
provisions of Subsection (5.02)(A)(2) of Appendix
I and if payment thereof commences prior to the
Participant's Normal Retirement Date, the
percentage reductions specified in Subsection
(4.02)(B)(1) and (4.02)(B)(2) of Appendix I shall
be applied.
C. If, determined as of the first day of the month
next following the Participant's death, the Lump

parent who is entitled to receive an annual
Survivor's Benefit, the excess, if any, of all of

Section (7.04) of Appendix I

satisfactory to it of the eligibility and age of
the Participant's surviving spouse or dependent
parent.

VI. BENEFITS AT TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
(6.01) Benefits at Termination of Employment
A. In the case of a Participant who terminated his
employment with an Employer prior to January 1,
1976 and who does not again participate in the
Sterling Salaried Program, his eligibility for
benefits, and the amount thereof, are determined
in accordance with the terms of the Old Plan or
the Old Salaried Plan as in effect at the time he
terminated his employment, unless some other
provision of the Sterling Salaried Program by its
own terms expressly and unequivocally applies to
Participants who terminated employment when he
did. Likewise, in the case of a Participant who
had a Severance From Group Date on or after
January 1, 1976 but before January 1, 1988 and who
does not again participate in the Sterling
Salaried Program, his eligibility for benefits,
and the amount thereof, are determined in
accordance with the terms of the Sterling Drug
Inc. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees as in
effect at the time of his Severance From Group
Date, unless some other provision of the Sterling
Salaried Program that is effective after his
Severance From Group Date is, by its own terms,
expressly and unequivocally made applicable to
Participants who incurred a Severance From Group
Date when he did.
B. If a Participant has a Severance From Group Date
on or after January 1, 1988 and prior to his
Normal Retirement Date, and if the Participant
does not qualify for early retirement pursuant to
the provisions of Subsection (4.02)(B) of Appendix
I, then he shall be entitled to receive retirement
benefits in an amount and payable as follows:
(1) If the Participant is a Vested Participant,
he shall be entitled to his Accrued Benefit
determined as of his Severance From Employer
Date and payable at his Normal Retirement
Date in a form specified by Part VII of
Appendix I;
(2) If the Participant is not a Vested
Participant, he shall be entitled to his
Accrued Benefit Derived From Employee
Contributions, if any, determined as of his
Severance From Employer Date and payable at
his Normal Retirement Date in a form
specified by Part VII of Appendix I;
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 48 of 73
(3) If the Participant files a written election
form with KRIPCO within 90 days following the
date such form is provided to him, the
Participant can elect to receive a cash
refund in an amount equal to his
Participant's Contributions, if any, plus
Credited Interest or, if KRIPCO consents, to
have such cash refund transferred to any
trustee of a plan which is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
and which is designated by the Participant.
Any election pursuant to this Subsection
(6.01)(B)(3) of Appendix I shall be
denominated for purposes of the Sterling
Salaried Program as an election of Option A
and shall, if a cash refund is to be paid
directly to the Participant and if the
Participant is legally married as of the date
of payment, be effective only if his spouse
consents thereto in the manner specified in
Subsection (7.02)(C) of Appendix I. If a
Participant makes an election of Option A,
payment of the cash refund shall be made as
soon as administratively feasible after
KRIPCO's receipt of that election. Once
payment has been made pursuant to a
Participant's election of Option A and if the
Participant does not again participate in the
Sterling Salaried Program, then: (i) if the
Participant is not a Vested Participant, no
further benefits shall be payable to him from
the Sterling Salaried Program, (ii) if the
Participant is a Vested Participant, he shall
be entitled to receive his Accrued Benefit
Derived From Employer Contributions
determined as of his Severance From Employer
Date and payable at his Normal Retirement
Date in a form specified by Part VII of
Appendix I.
C. If, determined as of the date 60 days after the
close of the Plan Year in which the Participant
incurs a Severance From Group Date or as of such
earlier payment date as may be selected by KRIPCO
as being administratively feasible, the Lump Sum
Present Value of the retirement benefits to which
a Participant is entitled pursuant to Subsection
(6.01)(B)(1) or (2) of Appendix I does not exceed
$3,500, then a single lump sum distribution shall
be made to the Participant in an amount equal to
that Lump Sum Present Value, such distribution to
be made on the payment date used to determine that
Lump Sum Present Value.
D. If a Participant has a Severance From Group Date
and thereafter has a Reemployment Commencement
Date and again participates in the Sterling
Salaried Program, and if the
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 49 of 73
Participant forfeits his Credited Service in
accordance with the provisions of Subsection
(2.15)(G) of Appendix I, then the following
provisions shall apply:
(1) If the Participant elected Option A of
Subsection (6.01)(B) of Appendix I and
received a refund pursuant thereto, then he
will have no further right to his Accrued
Benefit Derived From Employee Contributions,
if any, determined as of his Severance From
Employer Date, he will forfeit any possible
entitlement to his Accrued Benefit Derived
From Employer Contributions determined as of
his Severance From Employer Date, and his
rights to any further Accrued Benefit from
the Sterling Salaried Program shall be
determined solely with respect to Credited
Service completed after his Reemployment
Commencement Date.
(2) If the Participant did not elect Option A of
Subsection (6.01)(B) of Appendix I and did
not receive a refund pursuant thereto, then
he will forfeit any possible entitlement to
his Accrued Benefit Derived From Employer
Contributions determined as of his Severance
From Employer Date, and his rights to any
further Accrued Benefit from the Sterling
Salaried Program shall be determined solely
with respect to Credited Service completed
after his Reemployment Commencement Date.
However, he will retain the right to his
Accrued Benefit Derived From Employee
Contributions, if any, determined as of his
Severance From Employer Date, with such
amount to be payable in addition to (but
pursuant to the same terms and conditions as)
whatever Accrued Benefit he becomes entitled
to with respect to Credited Service completed
after his Reemployment Commencement Date.
E. If a Participant has a Severance From Group Date
and thereafter has a Reemployment Commencement
Date and again participates in the Sterling
Salaried Program, and if the Participant does not
forfeit his Credited Service in accordance with
the provisions of Subsection (2.15)(G) of Appendix
I, then the following provisions shall apply:
(1) The Participant's rights to any Accrued
Benefit from the Sterling Salaried Program
shall be determined with respect to all of
his Credited Service, both that completed
before and after his Reemployment
Commencement Date.
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01

Appendix I
Page 50 of 73
(2) If the Participant elected Option A of
Subsection (6.01)(B) of Appendix I and
received a refund pursuant thereto, then he
will have no further right to his Accrued
Benefit Derived From Employee Contributions
determined as of his Severance From Employer
Date, with the amount thereof to be
subtracted from the amount of the Accrued
Benefit to which he becomes entitled after
his Reemployment Commencement Date; provided,
however, that within two years of the date
upon which he again becomes a Salaried
Employee, the Participant may elect to repay
to the Trust Fund an amount equal to the cash
refund received pursuant to Option A plus
interest thereon from the date the refund is
made to the date repayment is made, such
interest to be compounded annually from the
date the refund is made and to be computed at
the rate of one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of the Federal mid-term rate in effect under
Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code
for the first month of the Plan Year in which
repayment is made, in which event the
Participant shall retain the right to his
Accrued Benefit Derived From Employee
Contributions determined as of his Severance
From Employer Date and shall, therefore, earn
rights to an Accrued Benefit in accordance
with Subsection (6.01)(E)(1) of Appendix I
without the reduction specified by this
Subsection (6.01)(E)(2) of Appendix I.
F. If a Participant has a Severance From Group Date
and receives a lump sum payment in accordance with
Subsection (6.01)(C) of Appendix I, and if the
Participant thereafter again becomes a Salaried
Employee and participates in the Sterling Salaried
Program, then he will have no further right to his
Accrued Benefit determined as of his Severance
From Employer Date, and his rights to any
additional Accrued Benefit from the Sterling
Salaried Program shall be determined solely with
respect to Credited Service completed after he
again becomes a Salaried Employee; provided,
however, that if he was not a Vested Participant
as of his Severance From Group Date and does not
forfeit his Credited Service in accordance with
the provisions of Subsection (2.15)(G) of Appendix
I, then within two years of the date upon which he
again becomes a Salaried Employee, the Participant
may elect to repay to the Trust Fund an amount
equal to the lump sum payment received in
accordance with Subsection (6.01)(C) of Appendix I
plus interest thereon from the date payment was
made to the date repayment is made, such interest
to be compounded annually from the date payment
was

made and to be computed at the rate of one hundred
twenty percent (120%) of the Federal mid-term rate
in effect under Section 1274(d) of the Internal
Revenue Code for the first month of the Plan Year
in which repayment is made, in which event the
Participant's rights to any Accrued Benefit from
the Sterling Salaried Program shall be determined
with respect to all of his Credited Service, both
that completed before and after his Reemployment
Commencement Date.

B. Normal Forms For Married Participants. The normal
form of the retirement benefits payable pursuant
to Part IV of Appendix I to a Participant who is
legally married as of his Annuity Starting Date
shall be as follows:
(1) Normal Form for Qualified Married
Participants: If the Participant has been
legally married to his spouse throughout the
12-month period preceding his Annuity
Starting Date, the normal form of the
retirement benefits payable pursuant to Part
IV of Appendix I shall be an annuity payable
to the Participant throughout his lifetime,
with a provision that after his death an
annuity in an amount equal to 45 percent of
the amount payable to the Participant during
his lifetime shall be payable to his spouse,
if then surviving, throughout the spouse's
lifetime; provided, however, that the amount
of the annuity payable to the surviving
spouse shall be reduced at the rate of 5/12
of 1 percent thereof for each month, or part
thereof, in excess of 120 that the age of the
Participant's spouse is less than the
Participant's age; and further provided that
the amount of the annuity payable to the
surviving spouse shall in no event be less
than the amount of the annuity which would be
payable to the surviving spouse had the
Contingent Annuitant Option set forth in
Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of Appendix I been
elected with a 50 percent continuation to the

Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 53 of 73
either (i) he has not been legally married to
his spouse throughout the 12 month period
preceding his Annuity Starting Date, or (ii)
he has a Severance From Group Date prior to
his 55th birthday, or (iii) he fails to
qualify for early retirement in accordance
with the provisions of Subsection (4.02)(B)
of Appendix I, then the normal form of the
retirement benefits payable pursuant to Part
IV of Appendix I to such Participant shall be
an annuity determined on the basis that the
Participant designates his surviving spouse
as Contingent Annuitant and elects to receive
his retirement benefits in the form of the
Contingent Annuitant Option set forth in
Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of Appendix I with a
50 percent continuation to the Contingent
Annuitant.
(3) The first payment of the normal form of

Participant shall be made on the
Participant's Annuity Starting Date, and
subsequent payments shall be made on the
first day of each month thereafter. The

C. Within a reasonable period of time before a
Participant's Annuity Starting Date, KRIPCO shall
notify each Participant of his right to elect an
optional form for payment of his retirement
benefits in accordance with Section (7.02) of
Appendix I. As part of this notification, KRIPCO
will furnish a written explanation which explains
the terms and conditions of the various optional

application should a Participant not elect an
optional form pursuant to Section (7.02) of
Appendix I;
(2) if a Participant is legally married as of his
Annuity Starting Date, the right of his
spouse to consent or not to consent to the

Page 54 of 73
(3) the Participant's right to revoke any
election out of the applicable normal form
specified in Subsection (7.01)(A) or
(7.01)(B) of Appendix I.
D. If, determined as of his Annuity Starting Date,
the Lump Sum Present Value of a Participant's
retirement benefits does not exceed $3,500, then a
single payment of that Lump Sum Present Value to
the Participant shall be made on his Annuity
Starting Date. If the monthly retirement benefit
payable to a Participant or his Contingent
Annuitant in the normal form set forth in
Subsection (7.01)(A) or (7.01)(B) of Appendix I
would be less than $10 per month, the benefit
shall be paid at such intervals as will make each
monthly payment amount to at least $10.
(7.02) Optional Forms of Payment of Retirement Benefits
A. Within the 90 day period preceding his Annuity
Starting Date, a Participant may, subject to the
conditions and restrictions set forth in
Subsection (7.02)(C) and subject to the provisions
of Subsection (7.01)(D) of Appendix I, file a
written election with KRIPCO electing out of the
normal form of payment of retirement benefits
otherwise applicable to him pursuant to Section
(7.01) of Appendix I and electing any one of the
following optional forms of payment of retirement
benefits:
(1) Contingent Annuitant Option: Under this
optional form, monthly retirement benefits of
a reduced amount will be made to the retired
Participant while living and, after his
death, payments will be continued in the same
amount or in a reduced amount to a Contingent
Annuitant, provided such Contingent Annuitant
is then surviving. The payments will
terminate with the last payment due preceding
the second death, subject to the payment of a
death benefit, if any, in accordance with
Subsection (7.03)(B) of Appendix I.
(2) Life Annuity-Period Certain Option: Under
this optional form, monthly retirement
benefits of a reduced amount will be made to
the retired Participant while living and will
terminate with the last payment due prior to
his death or the end of the Period Certain,
whichever is later. Payments will be made to
the Participant while living and, after his
death, any payments becoming due will be made
to the Beneficiary authorized to receive
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 55 of 73
such payments in accordance with Section
(7.04) of Appendix I. The Period Certain
shall be a period of 60 months or 120 months,
whichever is designated by the Participant,
provided that in no event shall the stated
period exceed the joint life expectancy of
the Participant and his Beneficiary
determined as of the Annuity Starting Date.
(3) Level Income Option: Under this optional
form, monthly early retirement benefits will
be made to the retired Participant who
retires prior to his 62nd birthday providing
for the adjustment of his early retirement
benefits to produce, insofar as practicable,
a level combined benefit from the Sterling
Salaried Program and his primary Federal
Social Security benefits, both before and
after such Social Security benefits are
payable beginning at age 62. This optional
form can be elected only if the Participant's
Annuity Starting Date is prior to his 62nd
birthday.
(4) Life Annuity Option: Under this optional
form, monthly retirement benefits will be
made to the retired Participant while living.
The payments will terminate with the last
payment preceding the Participant's death,
subject to the payment of death benefits, if
any, in accordance with Subsection (7.03)(B)
of Appendix I.
B. The retirement benefits payable to a Participant
on any optional form set forth in Subsection
(7.02)(A) of Appendix I shall be the Actuarial
Equivalent of the retirement benefits which would
be payable to such Participant in the normal form
set forth in Subsection (7.01)(A) of Appendix I,
irrespective of the fact that the Participant is
legally married and would receive his retirement
benefits, in the absence of an election of an
optional form, in the normal form set forth in
Subsection (7.01)(B)(1) of Appendix I.
C. A Participant's written election of any optional
form pursuant to Subsection (7.02)(A) of Appendix
I is subject to the following conditions and
limitations:
(1) Except as may otherwise be provided
hereinafter, a complete and valid election of
an optional form shall become effective upon
receipt thereof by KRIPCO. If, however, the
Participant is legally married as of his
Annuity Starting Date, his election of an
optional form
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 56 of 73
shall not be effective unless KRIPCO
receives, on or before the Annuity Starting
Date, a written document executed by his
spouse (witnessed either by a notary public
or by any person named by KRIPCO to act as a
witness) irrevocably consenting to all of the
terms and conditions of the Participant's
election and acknowledging the effect of the
election; provided, however, that if KRIPCO
in its sole and absolute discretion
determines that a Participant's spouse cannot
be located or that such other circumstances
as may be specified in the regulations under
Section 417(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue
Code exist, then any election made by a
Participant under this Section (7.02) of
Appendix I can become effective even though
the written consent of the Participant's
spouse is not obtained. Any election of an
optional form which would result in monthly
payments to any person of less than $10 each
shall not be effective.
(2) If a Participant does not make an effective
election of an optional form until within 30
days of his Annuity Starting Date, payment of
his retirement benefits may be deferred until
the first day of the month immediately
succeeding his Annuity Starting Date, at
which time the monthly payments due on his
Annuity Starting Date and on the first day of
the immediately succeeding month shall both
be paid to him.
(3) At any time before his Annuity Starting Date,
a Participant may in writing revoke any
previously effective election of an optional
form and may, if he so desires, make any
alternative election of an optional form
pursuant to Subsection (7.02)(A) of Appendix
I and this Subsection (7.01)(C) of Appendix
I.
(4) If the Contingent Annuitant optional form set
forth in Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of Appendix
I is elected by the Participant, the
following conditions and restrictions shall
also apply:
(a) The Participant shall designate in his
written notice of election his
Contingent Annuitant (who must be a
natural person) by name and otherwise in
accordance with the requirements of
KRIPCO and shall specify in such written
notice of election the percentage
(either 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 57 of 73
100%) of his retirement benefits which
is to be continued to such Contingent
Annuitant. The designation of any
person as a Contingent Annuitant
pursuant to this Subsection
(7.02)(C)(4)(a) of Appendix I shall not
constitute such person a Beneficiary
with respect to any other benefit
provided under the Sterling Salaried
Program.
(b) The Participant's election shall not be
effective pursuant to Subsection
(7.02)(C)(1) of Appendix I unless and
until he provides KRIPCO with proof
satisfactory to it of the age of his
designated Contingent Annuitant.
(c) If the designated Contingent Annuitant
dies prior to the Annuity Starting Date,
the Participant shall be deemed to have
revoked his election pursuant to
Subsection (7.01)(C)(3) of Appendix I.
If the Participant files a written
notice with KRIPCO changing the person
who is his Contingent Annuitant, he
shall be deemed to have revoked his
election pursuant to Subsection
(7.01)(C)(3) of Appendix I and to have
made a new election of the optional form
specified in Subsection (7.02)(A)(1) of
Appendix I which must satisfy all of the
conditions and restrictions of
Subsection (7.02)(C) of Appendix I.
(d) The election of this Contingent
Annuitant optional form shall be
ineffective if the Contingent Annuitant
is not the Participant's spouse and if
the reduced amount of retirement
benefits payable to the Participant
during his lifetime is less than 50% of
the amount of retirement benefits which
would have been payable to such
Participant had this optional form not
been elected.
(7.03) Participant's Contributions Payable Upon Death
A. If a Participant dies prior to his Annuity
Starting Date and due proof of his death is
provided to KRIPCO, and if a Survivor's Benefit is
not payable to a surviving spouse or dependent
parent of the Participant in accordance with the
provisions of Part V of Appendix I, and if the
Participant had not previously elected and been
paid a cash refund under
BENEFIT PLAN 1R.01
Kodak Retirement Income Plan
November 1, 1995
Appendix I
Page 58 of 73
Option A as set forth in Subsection (6.01)(B)(3)
of Appendix I, then as soon as administratively
feasible after the Participant's date of death, a
single lump sum payment in an amount equal to all
