NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance
with the accounting policies stated in the 1996 Annual Report and should be
read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements appearing
therein. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been
included in the financial statements. The statements are based in part on
estimates and have not been audited by independent accountants. The annual
statements will be audited by independent accountants.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and its subsidiary companies are involved in lawsuits, claims,
investigations and proceedings, including product liability, commercial,
environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and
defended in the ordinary course of business. There are no such matters
pending that the Company and its General Counsel expect to be material in
relation to the Company's business, financial condition or results of
operations.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3: ACQUISITION OF WANG LABORATORIES' SOFTWARE UNIT
On March 17, 1997, the Company acquired Wang Laboratories' software business
unit for approximately $260 million in cash. The unit is engaged in the
development of workflow, imaging, document management and network storage
management software. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase
method and, accordingly, the operating results of the business have been
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date
of acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of
$186 million in purchased research and development expense in the current
quarter. The amount attributed to purchased research and development was
determined by a nationally recognized independent valuation firm through
established valuation techniques in the high technology document imaging
industry. The amount was expensed upon acquisition as the technology has
not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use.

</TABLE>
1997 COMPARED WITH 1996
First quarter 1997 sales decreased 8% compared with the first quarter of
1996, due to the sale of the Office Imaging business. With Office Imaging
sales excluded from both years, the Company's sales would have increased 2%,
due to higher unit volumes partially offset by lower effective selling
prices and unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes.
Sales in the Consumer Imaging segment increased 3%, due to higher unit
volumes partially offset by lower effective selling prices and unfavorable
effects of foreign currency rate changes. Sales inside the U.S. increased
12%, due to higher unit volumes partially offset by lower effective selling
prices. Unit volume gains were driven by good growth in Kodacolor films and
one-time-use cameras, plus revenues from the acquisition of Fox Photo Inc.
Sales outside the U.S. decreased 2%, as lower effective selling prices and
unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes more than offset higher
unit volumes.
Sales in the Commercial Imaging segment decreased 16%, due to the sale of
the Office Imaging business. With Office Imaging sales excluded from both
years, sales would have been level, as higher unit volumes were completely
offset by unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes and lower
effective selling prices. The Entertainment Imaging and Digital & Applied
Imaging business units posted excellent sales growth.
Earnings from operations decreased 50% to $200 million, primarily due to the
R & D charge associated with the purchase of Wang Laboratories' software unit.
Earnings from operations in the Consumer Imaging segment decreased 10%, as
higher unit volumes were more than offset by lower effective selling prices
and unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes.
Excluding the R & D charge associated with the purchase of Wang Laboratories'
software unit, earnings from operations in the Commercial Imaging segment
were essentially level, as higher unit volumes were offset by lower
effective selling prices and unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate
changes.
Earnings from equity interests and other revenues increased for the first
quarter of 1997 compared with 1996, due primarily to gains on the sale of
property and on a non-strategic element of the Business Imaging Systems
business unit. The lower effective tax rate in 1997 principally results
from the utilization of certain foreign tax loss carryforwards.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 8
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Available cash reserves and cash from operations have been and will be used
to complete the $2 billion stock repurchase program.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 1997 was
$5 million, as net earnings of $149 million, which included non-cash expenses
for depreciation and amortization of $193 million, were offset by decreases
in liabilities (excluding borrowings) and increases in inventories. Net
cash used in investing activities of $532 million was primarily due to
additions to properties of $309 million and acquisitions, net of cash
acquired, of $283 million. Net cash used in financing activities of
$378 million was due to stock repurchases of $348 million and dividend
payments of $133 million.
Total cash dividends of $147 million ($.44 per share) and $137 million ($.40
per share) were declared in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased from $1,796
million at December 31, 1996 to $872 million at March 31, 1997. Net working
capital also decreased from $1,548 million at year-end 1996 to $1,285
million at March 31, 1997. Both decreases are primarily attributable to the
stock repurchase program and the acquisition of Wang Laboratories' software
unit.
Capital additions for the first quarter of 1997 were $309 million compared
with $250 million for the first quarter of 1996.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."
This standard replaces primary earnings per share with basic earnings per
share and requires presentation of diluted EPS as well as a reconciliation
of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share. The Company
plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997 and at that time
all historical earnings per share data presented will be restated to conform
to the provisions of SFAS No. 128. The Company does not expect this
statement to have a material impact on its earnings per share.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In April 1987, the Company was sued in federal district court in San
Francisco by a number of independent service organizations who alleged
violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and of various state
statutes in the sale by the Company of repair parts for its copier and
micrographics equipment (Image Technical Service, Inc. (ITS), et al v.
Eastman Kodak Company). The complaint sought unspecified compensatory and
punitive damages. Trial began on June 19, 1995 and concluded on September
18, 1995 with a jury verdict for plaintiffs of $23,948,300 ($71,844,900
after trebling). The Company's appeal of the jury's verdict was argued in
the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on September 19, 1996, and a decision is
awaited. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the ITS case.
Three cases that raise essentially the same antitrust issues as ITS are
pending (Nationwide, et al v. Eastman Kodak Company, filed March 10, 1995,
A-1 Copy Center, et al v. Eastman Kodak Company, filed December 13, 1993,
and Broward Microfilm, Inc. v. Eastman Kodak Company, filed February 27,
1996). The Nationwide and A-1 cases are pending in federal district court
in San Francisco, while Broward Microfilm is pending in federal district
court in Miami. A-1 is a consolidated class action, while Broward Microfilm
purports to be a national class action. The complaints in all three cases
seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. As is the case in ITS,
the Company is defending these matters vigorously.
The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP)
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund law), or under similar state laws,
for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the
Company's alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at
approximately twenty Superfund sites. With respect to each of these sites,
the Company's actual or potential allocated share of responsibility is
small. Furthermore, numerous other PRPs have similarly been designated at
these sites and, although the law imposes joint and several liability on
PRPs, as a practical matter, costs are shared with other PRPs. Settlements
and costs paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been
material. Future costs are not expected to be material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

vesting), provided they are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.
For purposes of the Plan, the value of any Award granted in the form of
Common Stock shall be the mean between the high and low at which the Common
Stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange as of the date of the grant's
Effective Date.
ARTICLE 6 -- DETERMINATION OF AWARDS FOR A PERFORMANCE PERIOD
6.1 Procedure for Determining Awards
As detailed below in the succeeding Sections of this Article 6, the
procedure for determining Awards for a Performance Period entails the
following: (a) determination of Maximum Award; (b) determination of Maximum
Award Pool; (c) determination of Actual Award Pool; and (d) allocation of
Actual Award Pool among individual Participants. Upon completion of this
process, any Awards earned for the Performance Period shall be paid in
accordance with Article 7.
6.2 Determination of Maximum Award
(a) Purpose of Maximum Award. The Maximum Award for a Performance
Period is an addend in the calculation of the Maximum Award Pool
for such Performance Period.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 24
(b) Calculation of Maximum Award. The Maximum Award for a
Performance Period is the dollar amount obtained by applying the
Performance Formula for such Performance Period against the
Performance Goals for the same Performance Period.
6.3 Determination of Maximum Award Pool
(a) Purpose of Maximum Award Pool. The Maximum Award Pool, for a
Performance Period, serves as the basis for calculating the
maximum amount of Awards that may be granted to all Participants
for such Performance Period .
(b) Calculation of Maximum Award Pool. The Maximum Award Pool for a
Performance Period shall be calculated by adding the Maximum
Award for such Performance Period with the Carryforward Amount.
(c) Limitation. The total of all Awards granted for a Performance
Period shall not exceed the amount of the Maximum Award Pool for
such Performance Period.
(d) Allocation of Maximum Award Pool to Covered Employees. Within
the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer, within
the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code),
the Committee shall allocate in writing, or establish in writing
an objective means of allocating, on behalf of each Covered
Person, a portion of the Maximum Award Pool (not to exceed the
amount set forth in Section 6.5(a)) to be granted for such
Performance Period in the event the Performance Goals for such
period are attained.
(e) Negative Discretion. The Committee is authorized at any time
during or after a Performance Period, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to reduce or eliminate the Maximum Award Pool for
the Performance Period, for any reason, based on such factors,
indicia, standards, goals, and/or measures it determines in the
exercise of its sole discretion. Similarly, the Committee is
authorized at any time during or after a Performance Period, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to reduce or eliminate the
portion of the Maximum Award Pool allocated to any Covered
Employee for the Performance Period, for any reason.
6.4 Determination of Actual Award Pool
(a) Purpose of Actual Award Pool. The Actual Award Pool for a
Performance Period determines the aggregate amount of all the
Awards that are to be issued under the Plan for such Performance
Period.
(b) Establishment of Actual Award Pool. The Actual Award Pool for a
Performance Period shall be the Maximum Award Pool for such
period after adjustment, if any, by the Committee through
Negative Discretion. Thus, to the extent the Committee elects
for a Performance Period not to exercise Negative Discretion
with respect to the Maximum Award Pool, the Actual Award Pool
for the Performance Period shall be the Maximum Award Pool for
such period.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 25
(c) Allocation of Actual Award Pool to Individual Participants. The
portion of the Actual Award Pool that will be awarded to any
individual Participant will be determined by the Committee, in
its sole and absolute discretion, based on such factors,
indicia, standards, goals, and measures which it determines in
the exercise of its sole discretion. By way of illustration,
and not by way of limitation, the Committee may, but shall not
be required to, consider: (1) the Participant's position and
level of responsibility, individual merit, contribution to the
success of the Company and Target Award; (2) the performance of
the Company or the organizational unit of the Participant based
upon attainment of financial and other performance criteria and
goals; and (3) business unit, division or department
achievements.
(d) Adjustment to Carryforward Amount. To the extent the sum of all
Awards paid for a Performance Period exceeds the Maximum Award
for such period, the Carryforward Amount shall be reduced by an
amount equal to such difference.
6.5 Limitations on Awards to Covered Employees
The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall control over any Plan provision to
the contrary.
(a) Maximum Award Payable to Covered Employees. The maximum Award
payable to any Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance
Period shall be $4,000,000.
(b) Attainment of Performance Goals. The Performance Goals for a
Performance Period must be achieved in order for a Covered
Employee to receive an Award for such Performance Period.
(c) Allocation of Actual Award Pool. The portion of the Actual
Award Pool allocated to a Covered Employee by the Committee
pursuant to Section 6.4(c) shall not exceed the portion of the
Maximum Award Pool allocated to such Covered Employee under
Section 6.3(d).
ARTICLE 7 -- PAYMENT OF AWARDS FOR A PERFORMANCE PERIOD
7.1 Certification
(a) In General. Following the completion of each Performance
Period, the Committee shall meet to review and certify in
writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for
the Performance Period have been achieved.
(b) Performance Goals Achieved. If the Committee certifies that the
Performance Goals have been achieved, it shall, based upon
application of the Performance Formula to the Performance Goals
for such period, calculate and certify in writing the amount of:
(i) the Maximum Award; (ii) the Maximum Award Pool; and (iii)
the Maximum Award Pool to be allocated to each Covered Employee
in accordance with Section 6.3(d). Upon completion of these
written certifications, the Committee shall determine the amount
of the Actual Award Pool for the Performance Period.
(c) Performance Goals Not Achieved. In the event the Performance
Goals for a Performance Period are not achieved, the limitation
contained in Section 6.5(b) shall apply to the Covered
Employees. Further, any Awards granted for the Performance
Period must be paid from the Carryforward Amount which shall be
reduced to reflect the amount of such Awards.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 26
7.2 Election of Form of Award
Prior to or coincident with its calculation of the amount of the Actual
Award Pool for a Performance Period, the Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, determine the form(s) in which to grant Awards under the Plan
for such period.
7.3 Timing of Award Payments
Unless deferred pursuant to Article 8 hereof, the Awards granted for a
Performance Period shall be paid to Participants on the Award Payment Date

and conditions as the Committee may determine, elect to defer payment of all
or any part of any Award which the Participant might earn with respect to a

prescribe. Any Award, or portion thereof, upon which such an election is
made shall be deferred into, and subject to the terms, conditions and
requirements of, the Eastman Kodak Employees' Savings and Investment Plan,

ARTICLE 10 -- CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP
10.1 Background
Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan, including, but not
limited to, Sections 1.1, 4.4 and 13.10, the provisions of this Article 10
shall control over any contrary provision. Upon a Change in Ownership: (a)
the terms of this Article 10 shall immediately become operative, without
further action or consent by any person or entity; (b) all terms,
conditions, restrictions and limitations in effect on any unpaid and/or
deferred Award shall immediately lapse as of the date of such event; (c) no
other terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or limitations shall be imposed
upon any Awards on or after such date, and in no event shall an Award be
forfeited on or after such date; and (d) except where a prorated Award is
required to be paid under this Article 10, all unvested and/or unpaid Awards
or any other outstanding Awards shall automatically become one hundred
percent (100%) vested immediately.
10.2 Payment of Awards
Upon a Change in Ownership, any Key Employee, whether or not he or she is
still employed by the Company, shall be paid, as soon as practicable but in
no event later than 90 days after the Change in Ownership, the Awards set
forth in (a) and (b) below:
(a) All of the Key Employee's unpaid and/or deferred Awards; and
(b) A pro-rata Award for the Performance Period in which the Change
in Ownership occurs. The amount of the pro-rata Award shall be
determined by multiplying the Target Award for such Performance
Period for Participants in the same wage grade as the Key
Employee by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of full months in the Performance Period prior to the
date of the Change in Ownership and the denominator of which
shall be the total number of full months in the Performance
Period. For purposes of this calculation, a partial month shall
be treated as a full month to the extent of 15 or more days in
such month have elapsed. To the extent Target Awards have not
yet been established for the Performance Period, the Target
Awards for the immediately preceding Performance Period shall be
used. The pro-rata Awards shall be paid to the Key Employee in
the form of a lump-sum cash payment.
10.3 Miscellaneous
Upon a Change In Ownership, no action, including, but not by way of
limitation, the amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan, shall be
taken which would affect the rights of any Key Employee or the operation of
the Plan with respect to any Award to which the Key Employee may have become
entitled hereunder on or prior to the date of such action or as a result of
such Change In Ownership.
ARTICLE 11 -- CHANGE IN CONTROL
11.1 Background
Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan, including, but not
limited to, Sections 1.1, 4.4 and 13.10, the provisions of this Article 11
shall control over any contrary provision. All Key Employees shall be
eligible for the treatment afforded by this Article 11 if their employment
with the Company terminates within two years following a Change In Control,
unless the termination is due to (a) death; (b) Disability; (c) Cause; (d)
resignation other than (1) resignation from a declined reassignment to a job
that is not reasonably equivalent in responsibility or compensation (as
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 28
defined in Kodak's Termination Allowance Plan), or that is not in the same
geographic area (as defined in Kodak's Termination Allowance Plan), or (2)
resignation within thirty days of a reduction in base pay; or (e)
Retirement.
11.2 Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions
If a Key Employee qualifies for treatment under Section 11.1, his or her
Awards shall be treated in the manner described in Subsections 10.1(b) and
(c). Further, except where a prorated Award is required to be paid under
this Article 11, all of the Key Employee's unvested and/or unpaid Awards
shall automatically become one hundred percent (100%) vested immediately.
11.3 Payment of Awards
If a Key Employee qualifies for treatment under Section 11.1, he or she
shall be paid, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 90 days
after his or her termination of employment, the Awards set forth in (a) and
(b) below:
(a) All of the Key Employee's unpaid and/or deferred Awards; and
(b) A pro-rata Award for the Performance Period in which his or her
termination of employment occurs. The amount of the pro-rata
Award shall be determined by multiplying the Target Award for
such Performance Period for Participants in the same wage grade
as the Key Employee by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of full months in the Performance Period prior to
the date of the Key Employee's termination of employment and the
denominator of which shall be the total number of full months in
the Performance Period. For purposes of this calculation, a
partial month shall be treated as a full month to the extent 15
or more days in such month have elapsed. To the extent Target
Awards have not yet been established for the Performance Period,
the Target Awards for the immediately preceding Performance
Period shall be used. The pro-rata Awards shall be paid to the
Key Employee in the form of a lump-sum cash payment.
11.4 Miscellaneous
Upon a Change In Control, no action, including, but not by way of
limitation, the amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan, shall be
taken which would affect the rights of any Key Employee or the operation of
the Plan with respect to any Award to which the Key Employee may have become
entitled hereunder prior to the date of the Change In Control or to which he
or she may become entitled as a result of such Change In Control.
ARTICLE 12 -- SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
12.1 Available Shares
Subject to adjustment as provided in Subsection 12.2 below, the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock, $2.50 par value per share, of the Company
which shall be available for grant of Awards under the Plan during its term
shall not exceed 1,000,000. Any shares of Common Stock related to Awards
which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without
the issuance of such shares, are settled in cash in lieu of Common Stock, or
are exchanged with the Committee's permission for Awards not involving
Common Stock, shall not be available again for grant under the Plan. The
shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan may be
authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 29
12.2 Adjustment of Shares Available
(a) In General. The provisions of this Subsection 12.2(a) are
subject to the limitation contained in Subsection 12.2(b). If
there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, stock
splits or the like, the number of shares available for Awards
and the shares subject to any Award shall be automatically
adjusted. If there is any change in the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock through any change in the capital account
of Kodak, or through a merger, consolidation, separation
(including a spin off or other distribution of stock or
property) reorganization (whether or not such reorganization
comes within the definition of such term in Section 368(a) of
the Code) or partial or complete liquidation, the Committee
shall make appropriate adjustments in the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan and
any adjustments and/or modifications to outstanding Awards as
it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. In the event of
any other change in the capital structure or in the Common Stock
of the Company, the Committee shall also be authorized to make
such appropriate adjustments in the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan and any
adjustments and/or modifications to outstanding Awards as it, in
its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
(b) Covered Employees. In no event shall the Award of any
Participant who is a Covered Employee be adjusted pursuant to
Subsection 12.2(a) to the extent it would cause such Award to
fail to qualify as "Performance-Based Compensation" under
Section 162(m) of the Code.
ARTICLE 13 -- MISCELLANEOUS
13.1 Nonassignability
No Awards under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation,
anticipation, sale, transfer (except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution), assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, nor shall any Award be
payable to anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted.
13.2 Withholding Taxes
The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan,
regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income
and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such
payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as
a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any
applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Committee may allow
a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from
an Award by withholding from any payment of Common Stock due as a result of
such Award, or by permitting the Participant to deliver to the Company,
shares of Common Stock having a fair market value, as determined by the
Committee, equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes.
13.3 Amendments to Awards
The Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any unearned, deferred or
unpaid Award, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned but not
yet paid, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided, however, that any
such amendment which, in the opinion of the Committee, is adverse to the
Participant shall require the Participant's consent.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 30
13.4 Regulatory Approvals and Listings
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Company
shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates of Common Stock
evidencing Awards or any other Award resulting in the payment of Common
Stock prior to (a) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental
agency which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be
necessary or advisable, (b) the admission of such shares to listing on the
stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed, and (c) the
completion of any registration or other qualification of said shares under
any state or Federal law or ruling of any governmental body which the
Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable.
13.5 No Right to Continued Employment or Grants
Participation in the Plan shall not give any Key Employee any right to
remain in the employ of the Company. Kodak or, in the case of employment
with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary, reserves the right to terminate any Key
Employee at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be
deemed to give any Key Employee or any other individual any right to be
selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award.
13.6 Amendment/Termination
The Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time with or without
prior notice. In addition, the Committee may, from time to time and with or
without prior notice, amend the Plan in any manner, but may not without
shareholder approval adopt any amendment which would require the vote of the
shareholders of Kodak pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, but only
insofar as such amendment affects Covered Employees.
13.7 Governing Law
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York, except as superseded by applicable Federal Law.
13.8. No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets
No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder as a result of
participation in the Plan until the date of issuance of a stock certificate
in his or her name, and, in the case of restricted shares of Common Stock,
such rights are granted to the Participant under the Plan. To the extent
any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this
Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured
creditor of the Company and the Participant shall not have any rights in or
against any specific assets of the Company. All of the Awards granted under
the Plan shall be unfunded.
13.9 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences
No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not
limited to, Kodak and its Subsidiaries and their directors, officers, agents
and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any
tax treatment, including, but not limited to, Federal, state and local
income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to
amounts deferred under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a
Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be
available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.
13.10 Compliance with Section 162(m)
If any provision of the Plan would cause the Awards granted to a Covered
Person not to constitute qualified Performance- Based Compensation under
Section 162(m) of the Code, that provision, insofar as it pertains to the
Covered Person, shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part
of, this Plan, but the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force
and effect.

EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
February 13, 1997
RESOLVED: That Section 19.1 of the Eastman Kodak Company 1995 Omnibus
Long-Term Compensation Plan is hereby amended to read as follows:
19.1 Nonassignability
(a). In General. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or
as otherwise provided in Subsection (b) below, no Awards or any
other payment under the Plan shall be subject to any manner to
alienation, anticipation, sale, transfer (except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution), assignment, pledge, or
encumbrance, nor shall any Award be payable to or exercisable by
anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted.
(b). Nonqualified Stock Options. The Committee shall have the
discretionary authority to grant Awards of nonqualified stock
options or amend outstanding Awards of nonqualified stock
options to provide that they be transferable, subject to such
terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. In
addition to any such terms and conditions, the following terms
and conditions shall apply to all transfers of nonqualified
stock options:
1. Permissible Transferors. The only Participants permitted
to transfer their nonqualified stock options are those
Participants who are corporate officers of Kodak on the
date of the transfer of their nonqualified stock option.
2. Permissible Transferees. Transfers shall only be permitted
to: (i) the Participant's "Immediate Family Members," as
that term is defined in Subsection (b)(9) below; (ii) a
trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate
Family Members; or (iii) a family partnership or family
limited partnership in which such Immediate Family Members
are the only partners.
3. No Consideration. All transfers shall be made for no
consideration.
4. Subsequent Transfers. Once a Participant transfers a
nonqualified stock option, any subsequent transfer of such
transferred option shall, notwithstanding Section
19.1(b)(1) to the contrary, be permitted provided, however,
such subsequent transfer complies with all of the terms and
conditions of this Section 19.1, with the exception of
Section 19.1(b)(1).
5. Transfer Agent. In order for a transfer to be effective,
the Committee's designated transfer agent must be used to
effectuate the transfer. The costs of such transfer agent
shall be borne solely by the transferor.
6. Withholding. In order for a transfer to be effective, a
Participant must agree in writing prior to the transfer on
a form provided by Kodak to pay any and all payroll and
withholding taxes due upon exercise of the transferred
option. In addition, prior to the exercise of a
transferred option by a transferee, arrangements must be
made by the Participant with Kodak for the payment of all
payroll and withholding taxes.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 32
7. Terms and Conditions of Transferred Option. Upon transfer,
a nonqualified stock option continues to be governed by and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the
option's applicable Administrative Guide and Award Notice.
A transferee of a nonqualifed stock option is entitled to
the same rights as the Participant to whom such nonqualifed
stock options was awarded, as if no transfer had taken
place. Accordingly, the rights of the transferee are
subject to the terms and conditions of the original grant
to the Participant, including provisions relating to
expiration date, exercisability, option price and
forfeiture.
8. Notice to Transferees. Kodak shall be under no obligation
to provide a transferee with any notice regarding the
transferred options held by the transferee upon forfeiture
or any other circumstance.
9. Immediate Family Member. For purposes of this Section
19.1, the term "Immediate Family Member" shall mean the
Participant's spouse, children or grandchildren, whether
natural, step or adopted children or grandchildren.

satisfy any amounts required to be withheld under applicable Federal, state
and local tax laws, in effect from time to time, by electing to have

ARTICLE 8 -- MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Nonassignability
(a). In General. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or as
otherwise provided in Subsection (b) below, no Awards or any other
payment under the Plan shall be subject to any manner to alienation,
anticipation, sale, transfer (except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution), assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, nor shall any
Award be payable to or exercisable by anyone other than the
Participant to whom it was granted.
(b). Exception. The Committee shall have the discretionary authority to
grant Awards or amend outstanding Awards to provide that they be
transferable, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee
shall establish. In addition to any such terms and conditions, the
following terms and conditions shall apply to all transfers of
Awards:
1. Permissible Transferees. Transfers shall only be permitted to:
(i) the Participant's "Immediate Family Members," as that term
is defined in Subsection (b)(8) below; (ii) a trust or trusts
for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; or
(iii) a family partnership or family limited partnership in
which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners.
2. No Consideration. All transfers shall be made for no
consideration.
3. Subsequent Transfers. Once a Participant transfers an Award,
any subsequent transfer of such transferred Award shall be
permitted provided, however, such subsequent transfer complies

4. Transfer Agent. In order for a transfer to be effective, the
Committee's designated transfer agent must be used to effectuate
the transfer. The costs of such transfer agent shall be borne
solely by the transferor.
5. Withholding. In order for a transfer to be effective, a
Participant must agree in writing prior to the transfer on a
form provided by Kodak to pay any and all payroll and
withholding taxes due upon exercise of the transferred Award.
In addition, prior to the exercise of a transferred Award by a
transferee, arrangements must be made by the Participant with
Kodak for the payment of all payroll and withholding taxes.
6. Terms and Conditions of Transferred Awards. Upon transfer, an
Award continues to be governed by and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and the Award's Award Notice. A
transferee of an Award is entitled to the same rights as the
Participant to whom such Award was awarded, as if no transfer
had taken place. Accordingly, the rights of the transferee are
subject to the terms and conditions of the original grant to the
Participant, including provisions relating to expiration date,
exercisability, option price and forfeiture.
7. Notice to Transferees. Kodak shall be under no obligation to
provide a transferee with any notice regarding the transferred
Award held by the transferee upon forfeiture or any other
circumstance.
8. Immediate Family Member. For purposes of this Section 8.1, the
term "Immediate Family Member" shall mean the Participant's
spouse, children or grandchildren, whether natural, step or
adopted children or grandchildren.
8.2 Withholding Taxes
The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan,
regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income
and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such
payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as
a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any
applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Committee may allow
a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from
an Award by withholding from any payment of Common Stock due as a result of
such Award, or by permitting the Participant to deliver to Kodak, shares of
Common Stock having a fair market value, as determined by the Committee,
equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes.
8.3 Amendments to Awards
The Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any unexercised, unearned,
or unpaid Award, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned but
not yet paid, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided, however, that
any such amendment which, in the opinion of the Committee, is adverse to the
Participant shall require the Participant's consent.
8.4 Regulatory Approvals and Listings
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, Kodak shall
have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates of Common Stock
evidencing any Award resulting in the payment of Common Stock prior to (i)
the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency which Kodak
shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, (ii)
the admission of such shares to listing on the stock exchange on which the
Common Stock may be listed, and (iii) the completion of any registration or
other qualification of said shares under any state or Federal law or ruling
of any governmental body which Kodak shall, in its sole discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 39
8.5 No Right to Continued Employment or Grants
Participation in the Plan shall not give a Participant any right to remain
in the employ of Kodak. Kodak reserves the right to terminate any employee
at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give
any employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a
Participant or to be granted an Award.
8.6 Amendment/Termination
The Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time with or without
prior notice. In addition, the Committee may at any time and from time to
time, with or without prior notice, amend the Plan in any manner.
8.7 Governing Law
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York, except as superseded by applicable Federal Law.
8.8 No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets
No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder as a result of
participation in the Plan until the date of issuance of a stock certificate
in his or her name, and, in the case of restricted shares of Common Stock,
such rights are granted to the Participant under the Plan. To the extent
any person acquires a right to receive payments from Kodak under the Plan,
such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of
Kodak and the Participant shall not have any rights in or against any
specific assets of Kodak. All of the Awards granted under the Plan shall be
unfunded.
8.9 Section 16 of the Exchange Act
In order to avoid any Exchange Act violations, the Committee may, from time
to time, impose additional restrictions upon an Award, including but not
limited to, restrictions regarding tax withholdings and restrictions
regarding the Participant's ability to exercise Awards under Kodak's
broker-assisted exercise program.
8.10 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences
No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not
limited to, Kodak and its directors, officers, agents and employees makes
any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment,
including, but not limited to, Federal, state and local income, estate and
gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to amounts paid to or
for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment
will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation
in the Plan.
8.11 Other Benefits
No Award granted under the Plan shall be considered compensation for
purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of Kodak nor affect
any benefits or compensation under any other benefit or compensation plan of
Kodak now or subsequently in effect.
