In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This Statement
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value.  If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation.

The Company adopted this Statement effective January 1, 2000. The
transition adjustment was a pre-tax loss of $1 million recorded in other
income (charges) for marking foreign currency forward contracts to fair
value, and an after-tax gain of $2 million recorded in other
comprehensive income for marking silver forward contracts to fair value.
The fair value of the contracts is reported in other current assets or in
current payables. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to offset
currency-related changes in value of foreign currency-denominated assets
and liabilities, especially those of the Company's International Treasury
Center. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts
because they are marked to market through earnings at the same time that
the exposed assets and liabilities are remeasured through earnings (both
in other income (charges)).
                                                                 <PAGE> 6

Silver forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of commodity
price risk related to forecasted worldwide purchases of silver, a key
ingredient in the manufacture of traditional photographic film and paper.
Changes in fair value prior to maturity are reported in other
comprehensive income, to the extent the contracts are expected to
effectively offset changes in the forecasted price of silver. Gains or
losses realized at maturity are reported in other comprehensive income to
the extent the contracts did effectively offset changes in the forecasted
price of silver, and are reclassified into earnings (cost of goods sold)
based on inventory turnover.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had open forward contracts hedging
virtually all of its planned silver requirements through the end of 2000.
The fair value of these open contracts was a pre-tax loss of $6 million,
offset to other comprehensive income. During the first quarter of 2000,
$4 million of realized gains were recorded to cost of goods sold, and $1
million (pre-tax) was recorded to other comprehensive income. Hedge
ineffectiveness was insignificant. The longest open contract matures in
December 2000. All of the realized gains in other comprehensive income
will be reclassified into cost of goods sold within the next twelve
months. The unrealized amounts in other comprehensive income will
fluctuate (but not through earnings) because they are based on the fair
value of open contracts.

2000

Sales for the first quarter reflect volume gains for consumer film and
paper, increased sales of digital products and continued sales growth in
emerging markets.  Sales were impacted by foreign exchange, which had a
$54 million negative impact in the quarter.  Net earnings for the first
quarter were reduced by after-tax charges totaling $7 million or $.02 per
share related to accelerated depreciation and relocation expenses
associated with the sale and exit of an equipment manufacturing facility.
Excluding these charges, first quarter net earnings were $297 million or
$.95 per share as compared with $259 million or $.80 per share in the
prior period, excluding after-tax charges of $68 million in the prior year
related to portfolio adjustments to exit non-strategic businesses and
product lines.

2000 COMPARED WITH 1999

First Quarter

Consolidated

First quarter 2000 sales were essentially unchanged as compared with the
first quarter of 1999.  Higher unit volumes, particularly in consumer
films, papers, digital cameras and health imaging products, as well as
growth in digital products, were largely offset by portfolio adjustments
and adverse currency movements.  When adjusted for portfolio changes,
revenues increased 3% year over year.  When adjusted both for portfolio
changes and currency movements, sales increased 5% over the first quarter
of 1999.
                                                                 <PAGE> 10

Sales of digital products in the quarter were $706 million, an increase of
8% over the previous year quarter.  Year-over-year digital product growth
rates were adversely affected by the comparison with 1999, which
incorporated the acquisition of the Imation medical imaging business, with
its significant digital component.  Digital losses in the quarter were $4
million, an $8 million improvement year over year.  Digital/digitization
products and services represented 23% of the Company's sales in the first
quarter 2000.

Sales in emerging markets, which accounted for approximately 19% of the
Company's first quarter 2000 revenues, were up 16%.  The emerging markets
portfolio showed growth across the spectrum of countries, with China +23%,
Taiwan +29%, Korea +20%, India +22%, Russia +74% and Brazil +20%.

Gross profit increased 9%, from 39.7% of sales to 43.3% of sales.
Excluding the accelerated depreciation and relocation costs in 2000 and
portfolio adjustments in 1999, both discussed above, gross profit margins
improved 90 basis points from 42.7% to 43.6% year over year.  The improved
margin was driven primarily by higher manufacturing volumes and improved
productivity which more than offset the negative impact of price, mix and
exchange.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 9%, from
24.1% of sales to 22.0%.  Excluding the 1999 portfolio adjustments
discussed above, SG&A expenses decreased 7%, from 23.7% to 22.0% of sales.
SG&A improvement was due to continuing progress on cost reduction
activities, and the divestiture of businesses with higher SG&A rates than
the corporate average.

Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased 3%, from 6.7% of sales
to 6.5% of sales.  The decrease is primarily due to the reclassification
of NexPress R&D costs to below earnings from operations and 1999 portfolio
actions.  Excluding these items, R&D increased 5%, year over year.

Earnings from operations increased 64% from the prior year period.
Excluding $11 million in pretax charges for accelerated depreciation and
relocation costs in 2000 and portfolio adjustments in 1999, earnings from
operations increased 23% from $381 million to $467 million for the
quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  Earnings from
operations benefited from higher gross profit and lower R&D and SG&A costs
in the first quarter 2000.

Other income decreased from $41 million to $19 million from the prior year
period, or 54%.  This reduction was due primarily to reduced joint venture
income from Kodak Polychrome Graphics, reclassification of NexPress R&D
costs into the joint venture and unfavorable foreign exchange effects of
$12 million.  Interest expense increased 23% from the prior year period to
$37 million, as a result of higher average borrowings.
                                                                 <PAGE> 11

Net earnings increased 51% to $289 million from $191 million a year ago.
Excluding the $7 million after-tax charges for accelerated depreciation
and relocation costs in 2000 and portfolio adjustments in 1999, net
earnings increased 15% to $297 million from $259 million a year ago.  This
increase was due primarily to higher gross profits and lower rates of
spending in R&D and SG&A.  The effective tax rate was 34% in the first
quarter of both 2000 and 1999.

Consumer Imaging

Sales in the Consumer Imaging segment increased 3% year over year, and
increased 5% adjusting for the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange.
U.S. Consumer Imaging sales increased 2%.  Outside the U.S., sales
increased 3% and increased 7% excluding the negative impact of foreign
exchange.  Worldwide segment sales growth was led by worldwide
photofinishing operations, one-time-use cameras and Consumer Digital
Services, which includes sales related to "You've Got Pictures", Picture
CD and Kodak PhotoNet Online.

Worldwide film sales (including 35mm film, Advantix film and one-time-use
cameras) to dealers in the first quarter increased 3% over first quarter
1999, reflecting an 8% volume increase partially offset by a 3% price
decline and a negative 2% foreign exchange impact.  U.S. film sales to
dealers were down 1% reflecting a volume decline of 3% and positive
pricing of 2%.  The increase in pricing reflected a positive mix shift and
lower levels of price promotion in the quarter.  Outside the U.S., film
sales to dealers were up 5%, reflecting 13% volume growth, offset by a 4%
price decline and negative 4% foreign exchange impact.

Throughout the first quarter, the Company continued to successfully shift
consumers to the differentiated, higher value MAX and Advantix product
lines.  In the U.S., MAX and Advantix films combined represented more than
57% of total consumer roll film revenues, which is up from the 55%
recorded in the fourth quarter of 1999.

Worldwide paper sales in the first quarter increased 2%, reflecting 6%
volume growth offset by a 2% price decline and 2% unfavorable foreign
exchange.  The Company's U.S. paper sales increased 2%, reflecting 2%
volume growth and stable pricing.  Outside the U.S. paper sales increased
1%, driven by volume gains of 7%, partially offset by a combination of
price declines of 2% and 3% unfavorable currency impacts.

SG&A expenses for the segment decreased 3%, from 27.9% of sales to 26.4%
of sales.  Excluding advertising expenses, SG&A expenses decreased 1%,
from 20.7% of sales to 20.0% of sales.  R&D expenses were up 2% over the
first quarter of 1999 but unchanged on a percentage of sales basis at
5.8%.
                                                                 <PAGE> 12

Consumer Imaging earnings from operations and net earnings increased 30%
and 33%, respectively.  Excluding the 2000 charges for accelerated
depreciation, earnings from operations and net earnings increased 35% and
37%, respectively, as strong manufacturing productivity was partially
offset by unfavorable price and foreign exchange movement.  The principal
contributors to this improved earnings performance were all elements of
the film category, worldwide photofinishing, Picture Maker Kiosk related
media, and color paper.

Kodak Professional

Kodak Professional first quarter sales decreased 8% from the previous
year. Adjusting the year-over-year comparison for the impact of the
formation of Kodak Polychrome Graphics in Japan, sales were down 4%.
Sales inside the U.S. decreased 7% while sales outside of the U.S.
declined 9%.

The Commercial Business experienced sales declines in the developed
markets reversal film business, reflecting a shift from larger format use
to smaller formats, as well as digital substitution.  In addition, the
segment experienced a 63% reduction in professional digital camera
revenues, as a result of strong year ago comparisons and lower prices.
However, the sensitized products portion of the Commercial business showed
growth in emerging markets of approximately 12%.

Sales in the Portrait/Social sensitized business increased 4%, year over
year. Continued success of the Portra family of films and papers in the
U.S. market contributed to this growth.  In addition, the Portrait/Social
business experienced strong double-digit growth in emerging markets, due
to sales of specially formulated products designed for the unique needs of
customers in these markets.

Sales for the Graphics business, adjusted for the formation of Kodak
Polychrome in Japan, were down approximately 3% year over year, reflecting
KPG's program to rebalance inventory levels.

SG&A expenses increased 1%, from 18.7% of sales to 20.6%.  Excluding
advertising expenses, SG&A expenses increased 3%, from 16.5% of sales to
18.4% of sales.  R&D expenses decreased 19%, from 9.4% of sales to 8.3% of
sales reflecting the reclassification of NexPress R&D to below earnings
from operations upon the formation of the NexPress joint venture in 1999.

Earnings from operations increased 10%, while net earnings decreased 35%.
When adjusted for 1999 portfolio changes and 2000 accelerated
depreciation, earnings from operations and net earnings declined 15% and
46%, respectively,  reflecting lower revenues along with a reduction in
joint venture income from Kodak Polychrome Graphics.
                                                                 <PAGE> 13

Health Imaging

Worldwide sales in the Health Imaging segment increased 1% from the first
quarter of 1999.  Excluding the impact of foreign currency, sales
increased 4%.  Sales inside the U.S. increased 8% while sales outside the
U.S. decreased 4% but were up 1% when adjusted for currency.

Sales of digital products (including digital print film, laser printers and
digital media) increased 5% year over year. Placements of DryView laser
imagers reached record levels in the quarter, achieving an increase of 82%
over last year, while DryView media sales increased 43% year over year. Wet
laser imaging sales continued their expected declined from last year. Sales
of digital capture products and Picture Archiving and Communications
Systems (PACS) increased 55% year over year.

Sales of traditional products including film, equipment, chemistry and
services decreased 2% year over year due to modest price declines in an
essentially flat market, while dental sales experienced double-digit
growth. Mammography and Oncology specialty films increased 6%.

SG&A expenses decreased 13%, from 21.5% of sales to 18.6% of sales,
reflecting the successful integration of the Imation Medical business that
was acquired in December 1998, and continued cost control.  Excluding
advertising expense, SG&A improved 14% from 20.7% to 17.7% of sales.  R&D
expenses increased 7%, from 5.8% of sales to 6.1%.

Earnings from operations and net earnings increased 15% and 16%,
respectively.  Excluding the 2000 charges for accelerated depreciation,
earnings from operations and net earnings increased 16% and 18%,
respectively, as manufacturing productivity, and reduced SG&A costs more
than offset negative currency movements.

Other Imaging

Sales in the Other Imaging segment decreased 2% from the first quarter of
1999.  Adjusting for the divestitures of the Office Imaging business, The
Image Bank and Motion Analysis Systems Division, segment sales increased
by 10%.  Growth in this segment in the first quarter was led by the
Digital and Applied Imaging business unit.
                                                                <PAGE> 14

Adjusted for divestitures, sales growth in the quarter was led by a 62%
increase in year-over-year digital camera sales.  Digital camera price
reductions taken early in the quarter, combined with increased marketing
activities, produced both higher volumes and increased market share.  In
addition, the Company experienced adjusted sales growth in the mid single
digits during the quarter in its motion picture film business reflecting
higher overall volumes.  Segment growth also benefited from the document
scanner business, which experienced 23% year-over-year growth, largely
offsetting declines in micrographics.

SG&A expenses decreased 28%, from 21.2% to 15.5% of sales.  Excluding
advertising expenses and severance charges recorded in 1999 for the
Eastman Software business, SG&A expenses decreased 26%, from 17.4% to
12.9% of sales.  R&D expenses decreased 4%, from 7.6% of sales to 7.4%.

Earnings from operations for the segment were $89 million, an increase of
$114 million over the first quarter of last year.  Excluding the 1999
portfolio adjustments and accelerated depreciation in 2000, earnings from
operations and net earnings increased 57% and 51%, respectively, as a
result of increased sales of motion picture films and reduced losses in
the Eastman Software business.

RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS AND COST REDUCTION

1999 Program

During the third quarter of 1999, the Company recorded a pre-tax
restructuring charge of $350 million relating to worldwide manufacturing
and photofinishing consolidation and reductions in selling, general and
administrative positions worldwide.  The Company recorded $236 million of
the $350 million provision as cost of goods sold, primarily for employee
severance costs, asset write-downs, and shutdown costs related to these
actions.  The remaining $114 million was recorded as SG&A for employee
severance payments.

In connection with this program, approximately 3,400 positions will be
eliminated worldwide, with approximately $250 million of the
restructuring charge for severance payments.  Approximately $90 million
of the $350 million charge is for asset write-downs, primarily for vacant
buildings to be sold and equipment to be shut down as part of the
Company's sale and exit of its Elmgrove manufacturing facility.  In
addition, approximately $10 million of the charge is for shutdown costs
related to the exit of the Elmgrove facility.  The net cash cost of the
restructuring program, which will be funded through operations, will be
approximately $140 million after tax.

The 3,400 personnel included in the restructuring were associated with
the realignment of manufacturing (1,500) and service and photofinishing
operations (870); and the consolidation of sales and marketing (460), R&D
(70) and administrative (500) functions in various locations of the
Company's worldwide operations.  As of the first quarter of 2000,
approximately 1,000 employees have left the Company under this program.
The remaining headcount reductions are expected to be completed by
September 30, 2000.
                                                                <PAGE> 15

The Company expects approximate pre-tax savings associated with this
program of $100 million in 2000, and an additional $70 million in 2001,
resulting in total run rate savings of $170 million.  The Company
anticipates recovering the net cash cost of this program in less than two
years.

The following table summarizes the restructuring costs and activity of
the 1999 program:

(in millions)
                         Severance        Shutdown
                           Costs           Costs          Total

Initial reserve            $250            $10            $260
Amounts utilized             62              2              64
                           ----            ---            ----
Balance  3/31/00           $188            $ 8            $196


In addition to the third-quarter 1999 charge, the Company incurred pre-
tax charges of $11 million in the first quarter of 2000 related to
accelerated depreciation of assets still in use but scheduled to be sold
and exited under this program.  It is estimated that accelerated
depreciation charges and relocation costs of approximately $10 - $15
million pre-tax, per quarter, will be recorded through the first quarter
of 2001in connection with these actions.

1997 Program

The Company recorded a pre-tax provision of $1,455 million in the fourth
quarter of 1997 for severance and other termination benefits and exit
costs related to the strategic realignment of the Company's worldwide
manufacturing, sales and marketing, R&D, administrative, and
photofinishing operations.  The Company recorded $165 million of the
$1,455 million provision as cost of goods sold, primarily for inventory
write-downs and other costs.  The remaining $1,290 million included $735
million of severance, $127 million of other exit costs and $428 million
of asset impairments.

The principal purpose of this program was to eliminate infrastructure and
operational inefficiencies and redundancies throughout the Company by
taking actions to separate personnel, close facilities and exit non-
strategic businesses.  Primary actions involved the reorganization of
sensitized goods manufacturing and research lab operations as well as
decisions to exit numerous businesses across all operating segments, with
a significant portion relating to Consumer Imaging and Other Imaging
segment businesses.  Approximately 13,200 employees had been terminated
through the end of the first quarter 2000 under this plan.  Through the
end of the first quarter 2000, approximately $670 million and $90 million
was spent for severance costs and other business exit costs,
respectively.  At March 31, 2000, the Company had a liability of
approximately $100 million for this program.  The remaining actions under
the program will be completed in 2000.

THE EURO

The Treaty on European Union provided that an economic and monetary union
(EMU) be established in Europe whereby a single European currency, the
euro, replaces the currencies of participating member states.  The euro
was introduced on January 1, 1999, at which time the value of
participating member state currencies was irrevocably fixed against the
euro and the European Currency Unit (ECU) was replaced at the rate of one
euro to one ECU.  For the three-year transitional period ending December
31, 2001, the national currencies of member states will continue to
circulate, but as sub-units of the euro.  New public debt will be issued
in euros and existing debt may be redenominated into euros.  At the end of
the transitional period, euro banknotes and coins will be issued, and the
national currencies of the member states will cease to be legal tender no
later than June 30, 2002.  The countries that adopted the euro on January
1, 1999 are Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.  The Company has
operations in all of these countries.

As a result of the euro conversion, it is possible that selling prices of
the Company's products and services will experience downward pressure, as
current price variations among countries are reduced due to easy
comparability of euro prices across countries.  Prices will tend to
harmonize, although value added taxes and transportation costs will still
justify price differentials.  Adoption of the euro will probably
accelerate existing market and pricing trends including pan-European
buying and general price erosion.

On the other hand, currency exchange and hedging costs will be reduced;
lower prices and pan-European buying will benefit the Company in its
purchasing endeavors; the number of banks and suppliers needed may be
reduced; there will be less variation in payment terms; and it will be
easier for the Company to expand into new marketing channels such as mail
order and Internet marketing.

The Company is in the process of making changes in areas such as marketing
and pricing, purchasing, contracts, payroll, taxes, cash management and
treasury operations.  Billing systems were modified so the Company was
able to show total gross, value added tax, and net in euros on national
currency invoices, to enable customers to pay in the new euro currency if
they wish to do so.  Countries that have installed ERP/SAP software in
connection with the Company's enterprise resource planning project are
able to invoice and receive payments in euros as well as in other
currencies.  Systems for pricing, payroll and expense reimbursements will
continue to use national currencies until year-end 2001.  The functional
currencies of the Company's operations in affected countries will remain
the national currencies until approximately mid-year 2001, when they will
change to the euro.  By that time, all affected countries will have
converted to the new ERP/SAP software.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 2000 was
$327 million.  Net earnings, adjusted for depreciation and amortization
provided $505 million of operating cash.  This was offset by decreases in
liabilities (excluding borrowings) of $444 million related primarily to
severance payments for restructuring programs and the payment of accrued
wage dividend and incentive compensation as well as a $234 million
increase in inventories pursuant to the Company's decision to move to a
level loading inventory strategy.  Net cash used in investing activities
of $109 million for the first quarter of 2000 was primarily for capital
expenditures.  The Company anticipates total capital spending of
approximately $1.1 billion in 2000, with the majority of the spending for
manufacturing productivity improvements, digitization activities,
information technology, renovations due to relocations associated with
restructuring actions taken in 1999, and environmental and safety
spending.  Net cash provided by financing activities of $462 million for
the first quarter of 2000 was primarily due to net increases in total
borrowings of $642 million, reduced by $139 million of dividend payments
and $46 million for stock repurchases.

Cash dividends per share of $.44, payable quarterly, were declared in the
first quarter of 2000 and 1999.  Total cash dividends of $139 million and
$142 million were paid in the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Net working capital (excluding short-term borrowings) at the end of the
quarter was $1,484 million, compared with $838 million at year-end 1999.
This increase is due to planned inventory build up and lower overall
payables as discussed above.

On April 15, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new stock
repurchase program for up to $2 billion of the Company's outstanding
stock.  This program is the third since 1995, and brings the total
repurchases authorized under the three programs to $5 billion.  In the
first quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased $46 million of outstanding
shares under the $2 billion program initiated in 1999, bringing the total
repurchased under that program to $702 million.

Item 3.  Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing
activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its
results of operations and financial position.  In seeking to minimize the
risks and/or costs associated with such activities, the Company manages
exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity
prices, and interest rates.

The majority of foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in
euros, Swiss francs, or British pounds sterling. If foreign currency
exchange rates at March 31, 2000 and 1999 increased 10%, the Company
would incur losses of $40 million and $87 million on foreign currency
forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Such losses would be substantially offset by gains from the revaluation
or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.

The Company has used silver forward contracts to minimize almost all of
its exposure to increases in silver prices in 1999 and 2000.  As of March
31, 2000, the Company had open forward contracts hedging virtually all of
its planned silver requirements for 2000.  Based on broker-quoted
termination values, if the price of silver decreased 10% from $4.94 and
$5.03 per troy ounce at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, the fair
value of silver forward contracts would be reduced by $22 million and $18
million, respectively.  Such losses in fair value, if realized, would be
offset by lower costs of manufacturing silver-containing products.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its
borrowing activities and less so through investments in marketable
securities.  The Company utilizes U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper
and borrowings as well as foreign currency-denominated borrowings to fund
its working capital and investment needs.  The majority of short-term and
long-term borrowings are in fixed rate instruments.  There is inherent
roll-over risk for borrowings and marketable securities as they mature and
are renewed at current market rates.  The extent of this risk is not
predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and
business financing requirements.  Using a yield to maturity analysis, if
March 31, 2000 interest rates increased 10% (about 58 basis points) with
the March 31, 2000 level of debt, there would be decreases in fair value
of short-term and long-term borrowings of $1 million and $11 million,
respectively.  If March 31, 1999 interest rates increased 10% (about 52
basis points) with the March 31, 1999 level of debt, there would be
decreases in fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings of $1
million and $10 million, respectively.

                 NOTICE OF AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
                       GRANTED TO ERIC L. STEENBURGH
                        EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 11, 2000
                              PURSUANT TO THE
                 2000 OMNIBUS LONG-TERM COMPENSATION PLAN




1.   Background.  Under Article 10 of the 2000 Omnibus Long-Term
     Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), the Committee may, among other
     things, award restricted units of the Company's Common Stock to
     those Key Employees as the Committee in its discretion may
     determine, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as it
     deems appropriate.

2.   Award.  At its February 11, 2000 meeting, the Committee granted Eric
     L. Steenburgh (the "Participant") an Award of eight thousand (8,000)
     restricted units of Common Stock ("Restricted Units").  This Award
     was granted under the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of
     the Plan, those set forth in the Administrative Guide for the 1997-
     1999 Performance Cycle of the Performance Stock Program, a copy of
     which is attached, and this Notice of Award of Restricted Units
     ("Award Notice").

3.   Terms and Conditions of Restricted Units.  The terms and conditions
     of and restrictions on the Restricted Units will be identical to
     those that would have applied had the Award been granted under the
     terms of the Performance Stock Program and deferred pursuant to
     Article 8 of the Administrative Guide for the 1997-1999 Performance
     Cycle of the Performance Stock Program.

4.   Effect of Award Notice.  This Award Notice, including its reference
     to the Plan and the Administrative Guide for the 1997-1999
     Performance Cycle of the Performance Stock Program, constitutes the
     entire understanding between the Company and the Participant
     concerning the Award and supersedes any prior notices, letters,
     statements or other documents issued by the Company relating to the
     Award and all prior agreements and understandings between the
     Company and the Participant, whether written or oral, concerning the
     Award.

5.   Administration.  The Committee shall have full and absolute
     authority and discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to
     interpret, construe and implement this Award Notice, to prescribe,
     amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, and to make
     all other determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for its
     administration.  All such Committee determinations shall be final,
     conclusive and binding upon any and all interested parties and their
     heirs, successors, and personal representatives.

6.   Impact on Benefits.  The Restricted Units (either at the date of
     their grant or at the time their restrictions lapse) shall not be
     includible as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other
     compensation or benefit plan offered by the Company.
                                                                  <PAGE> 24

7.   Miscellaneous.

     (a)  Headings.  The headings of the Sections of the Award Notice have
          been prepared for convenience and reference only and shall not
          control, affect the meaning, or be taken as the interpretation
          of any provision of the Award Notice.

     (b)  Applicable Law.  This Award Notice, and its interpretation and
          application, will be governed and controlled by the laws of the
          State of New York (except as superseded by applicable Federal
          Law), applicable as though to a contract made in New York by
          residents of New York and wholly to be performed in New York
          without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

     (c)  Amendment.  The Committee may, from time to time, amend this
          Award Notice in any manner.
