14


forth in the 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures), this Agreement, and the Amended Plan. Pursuant to the 4(2) Rights Offering, the Backstop Parties shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to their 4(2) Primary Shares (as defined in the 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures) and their 1145 Available Shares (as defined in the 1145 Rights Offering Procedures), and in accordance with the 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures, 10,000,000 of the 4(2) Rights Offering Shares as allocated among the Backstop Parties that subscribe for all of their respective 4(2) Primary Shares (as defined in the 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures) based upon such Backstop Parties’ relative Backstop Commitment Percentages or as otherwise agreed upon by all such Backstop Parties. No later than the Rights Offerings Expiration Time, the Backstop Parties shall provide the Subscription Agent for the Rights Offerings with written notice of such allocation of the Backstop Party Overallotment Shares.

Section 2.2 The Backstop Commitment. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Consummation Approval Order, each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell to such Backstop Party, on the Closing Date for the Purchase Price, the amount of Unsubscribed Shares equal to such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Unsubscribed Shares, rounded among the Backstop Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the Backstop Parties may determine in their sole discretion (such obligation to purchase the Unsubscribed Shares, the “Backstop Commitment”).

Section 2.3 Backstop Party Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Backstop Party Default, the Backstop Parties (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Backstop Parties of such Backstop Party Default (which notice shall be given promptly following the occurrence of such Backstop Party Default) (such five Business Day period, the “Backstop Party Replacement Period”) to make arrangements for one or more of the Backstop Parties (other than the Defaulting Backstop Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such purchase, a “Backstop Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Backstop Parties or as may otherwise be agreed upon by all of the Backstop Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such Backstop Parties, the “Replacing Backstop Parties”). Any such Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Backstop Party shall be included in the determination of (x) the Backstop Shares of such Replacing Backstop Party for all purposes hereunder and (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Backstop Party for purposes of Section 3.1. If a Backstop Party Default occurs, the Outside Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for (A) the Backstop Party Replacement to be completed within the Backstop Party Replacement Period or (B) the consummation of a Cover Transaction within the Cover Transaction Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Backstop Party Replacement has not been consummated upon expiration of the Backstop Party Replacement Period and a Cover Transaction has not been consummated prior to the expiration of the Cover Transaction Period, this Agreement may be terminated by either the Company by written notice to each Backstop Party or by the Majority Backstop Parties by written notice to the Company.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Backstop Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the non-Defaulting Backstop Parties do not elect to subscribe for all of the Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(a) prior to the expiration of the Backstop Party Replacement Period, the Company shall have an additional fifteen (15) Business Days following the expiration of the Backstop Party Replacement Period (such period, the “Cover Transaction Period”) to consummate a Cover Transaction.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.2 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Backstop Party from liability hereunder in connection with such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Party Default.

16


(b) Backstop Escrow Account Funding. No later than the second (2nd) Business Day following receipt of the Initial Funding Notice (such date, the “Backstop Escrow Funding Date”), each Backstop Party shall deliver and pay the aggregate Purchase Price for such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Backstop Escrow Account in satisfaction of such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment. The Backstop Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent satisfactory to the Backstop Parties and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Backstop Parties and the Company. The funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account shall be released, and each Backstop Party shall receive from the Backstop Escrow Account the cash amount actually funded to the Backstop Escrow Account by such Backstop Party, plus any interest accrued thereon, promptly following the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) September 3, 2013, provided that if the funds are released from the Escrow Account pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) (an “Escrow Release”), each Backstop Party shall be required to re-deliver such released funds no later than two Business Days after receipt of a Subsequent Funding Notice.

The date on which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

(b) At the Closing, the funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account shall be released and utilized as set forth and in accordance with Section 6.17 and the Amended Plan.

(f) Given the uncertainty that the condition set forth in Section 7.1(o) may not be satisfied by September 3, 2013 with respect to certain jurisdictions outside of the United States (each, a “Long Pole Jurisdiction”), the Debtors and the Backstop Parties will consult in good faith regarding alternative structures with respect to the Company’s operations in such Long Pole Jurisdiction(s) so as to facilitate the satisfaction of such condition by September 3, 2013, including by changing the manner in which the Company or its Subsidiaries hold assets or businesses in the Long Pole Jurisdiction(s), disposing or committing to dispose of assets or businesses in the Long Pole Jurisdiction(s), agreeing to limit its business or change its business practices relating to the Long Pole Jurisdiction(s) in any manner, modifying supply, customer or other arrangements relating to the Long Pole Jurisdiction(s), or taking any other action with

 

39


respect to the Long Pole Jurisdiction(s), and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, following such consultation the Debtors may take such actions in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such actions comply with applicable Law and do not expose any Backstop Party, in its good faith judgment, to the risk of not being in compliance with applicable Law in the event of a Closing in the absence of requisite approval from such Long Pole Jurisdiction(s), (ii) there is a reasonable expectation that such actions are necessary to permit a timely Closing in a manner that satisfies Section 7.1(o) and (iii) such actions do not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.7 Alternate Transactions.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Closing Date, (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall instruct and direct their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any ongoing solicitation, discussions and negotiations with respect to any Alternate Transaction, and (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall instruct and direct their respective Representatives not to, initiate or solicit any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer relating to an Alternate Transaction, engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations, or provide any non-public information to any Person, with respect to an Alternate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if following the date of this Agreement (A) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives a bona fide, written unsolicited proposal or offer for an Alternate Transaction (an “Alternate Transaction Proposal”) from any Person not solicited by the Company or its Subsidiaries in violation of this Section 6.7 and (B) the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and independent financial advisor, that such Alternate Transaction Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Transaction, the Company may, in response to such Alternate Transaction Proposal: (x) furnish non-public information in response to a request therefor by such Person if such Person has executed and delivered to the Company a confidentiality agreement on customary terms (provided that in the event the Company enters into a confidentiality agreement with such Person on terms more favorable to such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement with the Lead Backstop Party is to the Lead Backstop Party, the Company shall offer to amend the Confidentiality Agreement with the Lead Backstop Party and the other Backstop Parties to extend such more favorable terms to the Lead Backstop Party and the other Backstop Parties) and if the Company also promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after the time such information is provided to such Person) makes such information available to the Backstop Parties, to the extent not previously provided to the Backstop Parties; and (y) engage or participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person regarding such Alternate Transaction Proposal. The Company shall notify the Backstop Parties promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) if any Alternate Transaction Proposals are received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or its Subsidiaries or its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the parties and the material terms and conditions of any Alternate Transaction Proposal (including, if applicable, copies of any written

 

41


inquiries, requests, proposals or offers, including any proposed agreements) and, thereafter, the Company shall keep the Backstop Parties reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such Alternate Transaction Proposals (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to the Backstop Parties.

(b) Subject to the Company’s compliance with this Section 6.7, prior to the earlier of the occurrence of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Board may approve an Alternate Transaction Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 6.7 that the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, constitutes a Superior Transaction, if and only if, (1) prior to taking such action the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ legal duties under applicable Laws; (2) the Board notifies the Backstop Parties in writing at least three (3) Business Days in advance that it intends to take such action or that the Company intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f)(ii), which notice shall specify the identity of the Person making such Alternate Transaction Proposal and all of the material terms and conditions of such Alternate Transaction Proposal and attach the most current version of any proposed transaction agreement (and any related agreements) providing for such Alternate Transaction Proposal; (3) after providing such notice and prior to taking any such action or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f)(ii), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the Backstop Parties during the three (3) Business Day period (to the extent the Backstop Parties desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements as would permit the Board not to take such action or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f)(ii); and (4) following the end of such three (3) Business Day period, the Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor and after taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements proposed by the Backstop Parties, that the Superior Transaction continues to constitute a Superior Transaction even if such changes proposed by the Backstop Parties were to be given effect.

Section 6.8 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Without in any way limiting any other respective obligation of the Company or any Backstop Party in this Agreement, the Company shall use (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use), and each Backstop Party shall use, commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Amended Plan, including using commercially reasonable efforts in:

 

42


(i) timely preparing and filing all documentation reasonably necessary to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings of such Party and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or Governmental Entity;

(iii) working together in good faith to finalize the Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Reorganized Kodak Corporate Documents for timely inclusion in the Plan Supplement and filing with the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Backstop Parties and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on all of the information relating to Backstop Parties or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Amended Plan; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Backstop Parties are required to provide for review in advance declarations or other evidence submitted in connection with any filing with the Bankruptcy Court. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and the Backstop Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.8 shall limit the ability of any Backstop Party to consult with the Debtors, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Proceedings, so long as such consultation, appearance or objection is not inconsistent with such Backstop Party’s obligations under Section 6.9.

Section 6.9 Support of the Amended Plan.

(a) Support of Amended Plan. Each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, that, prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms each Backstop Party will, and it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its controlled Affiliates to: (i) subject to entry of the Plan Solicitation Order, timely vote or cause to be voted all of its Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims to accept the Amended Plan by timely delivering a duly executed and completed ballot or ballots, as applicable, accepting the Amended Plan; (ii) not change or withdraw such vote or exercise (or cause or direct such vote or exercise to be changed or withdrawn); (iii) consent to the treatment of its Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims and the treatment of all other claims against and equity interests in the Debtors as set forth in the Amended Plan; and (iv) not object to or otherwise commence any proceeding or take any other action opposing any of the terms of the Amended Disclosure Statement or the Amended Plan, unless, in each case, the Amended Plan is modified in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement.

 

43


(b) Transfers of Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims. Each Backstop Party agrees that it will not Transfer, in whole or in part, any Beneficially Controlled Votable Claim or any option thereon or any right or interest therein or any other claims against or equity interests in the Debtors unless the transferee thereof, prior to such Transfer, agrees in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by Section 6.9 of this Agreement by executing a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Joinder Agreement”) and delivering an executed copy thereof to the Company (a transferee party to a Joinder Agreement shall be referred to as a “Permitted Claim Transferee”). Each Backstop Party or Permitted Claim Transferee agrees that any Transfer of any Beneficially Controlled Votable Claims or any other claims against or equity interests in the Debtors that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth in Section 6.9(b) hereof shall be deemed void ab initio, and the Debtors shall have the right to avoid such Transfer.

foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable and documented (subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Amended Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Backstop Party and its Related Parties, caused by a Backstop Party Default by such Backstop Party, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (A) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel

 

52


is required) and that all such expenses shall be reimbursed as they occur), (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims, (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed or is failing to defend such claim, and is provided written notice of such failure by the Indemnified Person and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (D) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.

Section 8.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this Article VIII. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (B) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 8.4 Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative

 

53


benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Backstop Shares and the Rights Offerings Shares in the Rights Offerings contemplated by this Agreement and the Amended Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Commitment Fees paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or the Confirmation Order (and any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or an affirmative vote to accept the Amended Plan submitted by any Backstop Party, nothing contained in the Amended Plan (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) or Confirmation Order (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) shall alter, amend or modify the rights of the Backstop Parties under this Agreement unless such alteration, amendment or modification has been made in accordance with Section 10.7.

THE PARTIES CONSENT TO AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

Section 10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.7 Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative. This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified, or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Debtors and the Requisite Backstop Parties (other than a Defaulting Backstop Party); provided that each Backstop Party’s prior written consent shall be required for any amendment that would have the effect of: (i) modifying such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage, (ii) increasing the Purchase Price to be paid in respect of the Backstop Shares, (iii) extending the Outside Date; (iv) changing the definition of Requisite Backstop Parties or (v) otherwise disproportionately or materially adversely affecting such Backstop Party. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3, the waiver of which shall be governed solely by Article VII) may be waived (x) by the Debtors only by a written instrument executed by the Company and (y) by the Requisite Backstop Parties only by a written instrument executed by all of the Requisite Backstop Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Backstop Parties may agree, among themselves, to reallocate their Backstop Commitment Percentages, without any consent or approval of any other Party; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt any such agreement among the Backstop Parties shall require the consent or approval of all Backstop Parties affected by such reallocation. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

1. Overview of the 1145 Rights Offering

Rights (the “1145 Rights”) to purchase shares of New Common Stock in the 1145 Rights Offering (the “1145 Rights Offering Shares”) at a price per share equal to $11.94 (the “Per Share Price”) are being distributed to the 1145 Eligible Participants (as defined below) as pre-confirmation distributions under the Amended Plan and in conjunction with the Debtors’ solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Amended Plan.

 

-2-


The aggregate number of 1145 Rights Offering Shares (the “Aggregate 1145 Share Amount”) will be 6,000,000.

Each 1145 Eligible Participant has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all or a portion of its 1145 Available Shares (as defined below).

Eligible Participants

Only 1145 Eligible Participants may participate in the 1145 Rights Offering.

An “1145 Eligible Participant” means a Person that satisfies all of the following criteria: (a) such Person was the beneficial owner of a General Unsecured Claim or Retiree Settlement Claim as of June 13, 2013 (the “Holding Record Date”); (b) such Claim is or became an 1145 Eligible Claim as of July 22, 2013 (or such later date as the Debtors may determine in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee and the Requisite Backstop Parties, the “1145 Claim Determination Date”) and (c) such Person is the beneficial owner of such 1145 Eligible Claim on the Effective Date.

The 1145 Rights Exercise Form

In order to exercise 1145 Rights, an 1145 Eligible Participant must duly complete and timely deliver the enclosed rights exercise form (the “1145 Rights Exercise Form”), along with its Subscription Purchase Price (as defined below) in accordance with these 1145 Rights Offering Procedures.

The 1145 Rights Exercise Form indicates the Per Share Price payable in connection with the exercise of the 1145 Rights.

Determination of an 1145 Eligible Participant’s 1145 Available Shares

Each 1145 Eligible Participant shall be entitled to subscribe for that number of 1145 Rights Offering Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of: (a) the resulting quotient of (x) the aggregate amount of such holder’s 1145 Eligible Claims to (y) $2.8 billion,4 multiplied by (b) the Aggregate 1145 Share Amount (such number of shares, the “1145 Available Shares”; and any remaining unsubscribed and unpaid for shares being the “1145 Rights Offering Unsubscribed Shares”).

An “1145 Eligible Claim” means (a) a Retiree Settlement Unsecured Claim, (b) an Unsecured Notes Claim equal to or greater than $10,000 in principal amount or (c) any other General Unsecured Claim (x) equal to the amount, as of the 1145 Claim Determination Date, that

This amount represents the Debtors’ good faith estimate of the valid amount of Claims represented by General Unsecured Claims and the Retiree Settlement Unsecured Claim, which amount has been determined in consultation with the Requisite Backstop Parties and Creditors’ Committee in order to ensure compliance with section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

-3-


such Claim has been (i) stipulated to by the Debtors in writing (including on its Schedules, provided that if such 1145 Eligible Claim is stipulated to on the Schedules in an amount greater than the amount given on the Proof of Claim relating to such 1145 Eligible Claim, the amount of such 1145 Eligible Claim for the purposes of these 1145 Rights Offering Procedures shall be the amount given on such Proof of Claim) or (ii) allowed by the Bankruptcy Court by Final Order, in each case, on or before the 1145 Claim Determination Date, or (y) in such other amount as the Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Requisite Backstop Parties may collectively agree. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) contingent, unliquidated and disputed Claims set forth on the Schedules shall not be deemed “stipulated”, and (2) the Unsecured Notes Claims and the Non-Qualified Pension Unsecured Claims (solely to the extent the Non-Qualified Pension Stipulation is entered by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the 1145 Claim Determination Date) will be deemed stipulated Claims, in each case, for purposes of (a)(i) above.

Restrictions on Transfer of 1145 Rights and 1145 Eligible Claims

THE 1145 RIGHTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE OR DETACHABLE FROM 1145 ELIGIBLE CLAIMS.

IF ANY PORTION OF AN 1145 ELIGIBLE CLAIM IS OR HAS BEEN (AFTER THE HOLDING RECORD DATE) TRANSFERRED BY AN 1145 ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT, THE CORRESPONDING 1145 RIGHTS WILL BE CANCELLED, AND NEITHER SUCH 1145 ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT NOR THE TRANSFEREE OF SUCH 1145 ELIGIBLE CLAIM WILL RECEIVE 1145 RIGHTS OFFERING SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH 1145 ELIGIBLE CLAIM.

The 1145 Rights Offering will commence on the day upon which the 1145 Rights Exercise Form is first mailed or made available to 1145 Eligible Participants (the “1145 Rights Offering Commencement Date”), which the Debtors estimate to be no later than July 8, 2013.

The 1145 Rights Offering will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 9, 2013, (the “1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date”).

Each Subscription Nominee will be entitled to receive sufficient copies of the 1145 Rights Exercise Form for distribution to 1145 Eligible Participants that are beneficial owners of Unsecured Notes Claims for whom such Subscription Nominee holds such Claims.

The exercise of the 1145 Rights shall be irrevocable unless the 1145 Rights Offering is not consummated by November 4, 2013.

Each 1145 Eligible Participant is entitled to participate in the 1145 Rights Offering solely to the extent of its 1145 Eligible Claims.

In order to exercise 1145 Rights, each 1145 Eligible Participant (excluding 1145 Eligible Participants that hold Unsecured Notes Claims (but only with respect to such Unsecured Notes Claims)) must submit an 1145 Rights Exercise Form indicating the whole number of 1145 Available Shares that such 1145 Eligible Participant elects to purchase, along with payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds of a “Subscription Purchase Price” equal to the product of (a) the number of 1145 Rights Offering Shares such 1145 Eligible Participant elects to purchase multiplied by (b) the Per Share Price.

For an 1145 Eligible Participant that is the beneficial Holder of an Unsecured Notes Claim to exercise its 1145 Rights, such 1145 Eligible Participant must return a duly completed 1145 Rights Exercise Form to its Subscription Nominee or otherwise instruct its Subscription Nominee as to its 1145 Rights in accordance with the procedures established by its Subscription Nominee, which, in turn, must (i) deliver a duly completed 1145 Master Exercise Form so that such information is actually received by the Subscription Agent on or before the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date and (ii) pay to the Subscription Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Subscription Purchase Price, so that the payment of the Subscription Purchase Price is actually received by the Subscription Agent on or before the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date in accordance with these 1145 Rights Offering Procedures.

Deemed Representations and Acknowledgements

Any Person exercising any 1145 Rights is deemed to have made the following representations and acknowledgements: such Person

(i) is an 1145 Eligible Participant.

(ii) recognizes and understands that 1145 Rights are not transferable or detachable from 1145 Eligible Claims, and may only be exercised by an 1145 Eligible Participant.

(iii) will not accept a distribution of New Common Stock offered pursuant to the 1145 Rights Offering with respect to an 1145 Eligible Claim if, at the time of such distribution, it does not own such 1145 Eligible Claim.

(iv) by its acceptance of a distribution of New Common Stock with respect to an 1145 Eligible Claim, will be deemed to be the owner of such 1145 Eligible Claim.

(v) agrees that if it transfers any portion of its 1145 Eligible Claim after the Holding Record Date, the corresponding 1145 Rights will be cancelled, and neither such 1145 Eligible Participant nor the transferee of such 1145 Eligible Claim will receive 1145 Rights Offering Shares in connection with such 1145 Eligible Claim.

(vi) will not accept a distribution of New Common Stock offered on account of any 1145 Eligible Claim pursuant to the 1145 Rights Offering with a value in excess of the value such Person receives on account of such 1145 Eligible Claim pursuant to the Amended Plan (without giving effect to the distribution of 1145 Rights).

Failure to Exercise 1145 Rights

Unexercised 1145 Rights will be cancelled on the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date. An 1145 Eligible Participant shall be deemed to have relinquished and waived all rights to participate in the 1145 Rights Offering to the extent the Subscription Agent for any reason does not receive from an 1145 Eligible Participant or its Subscription Nominee, on or before the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date, (i) a duly completed 1145 Rights Exercise Form or equivalent instructions from DTC (if applicable) and (ii) immediately available funds by wire transfer for the Subscription Purchase Price with respect to such 1145 Eligible Participant’s 1145 Rights.

Any attempt to exercise any 1145 Rights after the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date shall be null and void and the Debtors shall not honor any 1145 Rights Exercise Form or other documentation received by the Subscription Agent relating to such purported exercise after the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date, regardless of when such 1145 Rights Exercise Form or other documentation was sent.

The method of delivery of the 1145 Rights Exercise Form and any other required documents by each 1145 Eligible Participant is at such 1145 Eligible Participant’s option and sole risk, and delivery will be considered made only when such 1145 Rights Exercise Form and other documentation are actually received by the Subscription Agent. If delivery is by mail, the use of registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is encouraged and strongly recommended. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery prior to the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date.

Disputes, Waivers, and Extensions

Any and all disputes concerning the timeliness, viability, form and eligibility of any exercise of 1145 Rights shall be addressed in good faith by the Debtors in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee. Any determination made by the Debtors with respect to such disputes shall be final and binding. The Debtors, in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee, may (i) waive any defect or irregularity, or permit such a defect or irregularity to be corrected, within such times as the Debtors may determine in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee to be appropriate, or (ii) reject the purported exercise of any 1145 Rights for which the 1145 Rights Exercise Form, the exercise thereof and/or payment of the Subscription Purchase Price includes defects or irregularities.

1145 Rights Exercise Forms shall be deemed not to have been properly completed until all defects and irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as the Debtors determine in their reasonable discretion and in good faith, in consultation with the Creditors’ Committee. The Debtors reserve the right, but are under no obligation, to give notice to any 1145 Eligible Participant regarding any defect or irregularity in connection with any purported exercise of 1145 Rights by such 1145 Eligible Participant. The Debtors may, but are under no obligation to, permit such defect or irregularity in any 1145 Rights Exercise Form to be cured; provided, however, that none of the Debtors (including any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors) or the Subscription Agent shall incur any liability for any failure to give such notification.

The Debtors may extend the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date, from time to time, with the consent of the Creditors’ Committee and the Requisite Backstop Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Debtors shall promptly notify the 1145 Eligible Participants in writing of such extension and of the date of the new 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date.

First, the Backstop Parties that have duly subscribed for and purchased 100 percent of their respective 4(2) Primary Shares shall have the right to purchase, in addition to such Backstop Parties’ 4(2) Primary Shares, 10,000,000 Initial Overallotment Shares, which shall be allocated among such Backstop Parties based upon their (and, without duplication, their affiliates’) respective Backstop Commitment Percentages (as defined in the Backstop Commitment Agreement) or in any other manner as such Backstop Parties shall reasonably agree (such Shares, the Backstop Party Overallotment Shares); provided, however, that if the number of Initial Overallotment Shares is less than 10,000,000, the number of 4(2) Primary Shares duly subscribed for and purchased by each 4(2) Eligible Participant shall be reduced on a pro rata basis such that the number of Initial Overallotment Shares equals 10,000,000 (the 4(2) Reallocation).

Second, if any 4(2) Rights Offering Shares remain available for subscription after giving effect to the aggregate number of duly subscribed for and purchased 4(2) Primary Shares and Backstop Party Overallotment Shares (such number of remaining shares, the 4(2) Remaining Overallotment Shares), each 4(2) Eligible Participant that has duly subscribed for and purchased 100 percent of its 4(2) Primary Shares (each, a 4(2) Eligible Overallotment Participant) also may elect to subscribe for and purchase that number of 4(2) Remaining Overallotment Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (a) the resulting quotient of (x) the aggregate amount of 4(2) Eligible Claims beneficially owned by such 4(2) Eligible Overallotment Participant divided by (y) $1.82 billion,5 multiplied by (b) the aggregate number of 4(2) Remaining Overallotment Shares (such number of shares being the 4(2) Overallotment Shares; and any remaining unsubscribed and unpaid for shares being the 4(2) Rights Offering Unsubscribed Shares).

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Amended Plan, these 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures or the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Debtors shall not be required to accept the exercise of 4(2) Rights to purchase any Backstop Party Overallotment Shares or 4(2) Overallotment Shares if the Debtors have requested, but not received, reasonable assurances that such exercise will not result in any Person becoming the “beneficial owner”, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act (as amended from time to time) of 50 percent or more of the issued and outstanding New Common Stock on the Effective Date after giving effect to the Amended Plan.

Restrictions on Transfer of 4(2) Rights and 4(2) Eligible Claims

THE 4(2) RIGHTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE OR DETACHABLE FROM 4(2) ELIGIBLE CLAIMS.

-5-


IF ANY PORTION OF A 4(2) ELIGIBLE CLAIM IS OR HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED AFTER THE 4(2) CERTIFICATION DATE, THE CORRESPONDING 4(2) RIGHTS WILL BE CANCELLED, AND NEITHER THE TRANSFEROR NOR THE TRANSFEREE OF SUCH 4(2) ELIGIBLE CLAIM WILL RECEIVE 4(2) RIGHTS OFFERING SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH TRANSFERRED 4(2) ELIGIBLE CLAIM.

No Fractional Shares

All 4(2) Rights Offering Shares issued in the 4(2) Rights Offering will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

No compensation shall be paid in respect of such adjustment.

2. Duration of the 4(2) Rights Offering

The 4(2) Rights Offering will commence on the day upon which the 4(2) Rights Exercise Form is first mailed or made available to 4(2) Eligible Participants (the 4(2) Rights Offering Commencement Date), which the Debtors estimate to be no later than July 23, 2013.

The 4(2) Rights Offering will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 9, 2013, (the 4(2) Rights Offering Expiration Date).

To facilitate the exercise of the 4(2) Rights, the Debtors will mail or cause to be mailed the 4(2) Rights Exercise Form (i) on the 4(2) Rights Offering Commencement Date, to each 4(2) Eligible Participant or (ii) within three Business Days of the 4(2) Claim Determination Date, to each 4(2) Eligible Participant whose 4(2) Eligible Claim increases prior to the 4(2) Claim Determination Date, together with a copy of these 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures and a set of instructions for the proper completion, due execution and timely delivery of the 4(2) Rights Exercise Form and payment of the Subscription Purchase Price to the Subscription Agent.

4. Exercise of 4(2) Rights

In order to participate in the 4(2) Rights Offering, each 4(2) Eligible Participant must affirmatively make a binding election to exercise all or a portion of its 4(2) Rights on or prior to the 4(2) Rights Offering Expiration Date. The exercise of the 4(2) Rights shall be irrevocable unless the 4(2) Rights Offering is not consummated by November 4, 2013.

Each 4(2) Eligible Participant (other than the Backstop Parties) is entitled to participate in the 4(2) Rights Offering solely to the extent of its 4(2) Eligible Claims.

In order to exercise 4(2) Rights, each 4(2) Eligible Participant must submit a 4(2) Rights Exercise Form indicating the whole number of 4(2) Primary Shares and, if applicable, Backstop Party Overallotment Shares and 4(2) Overallotment Shares, that such 4(2) Eligible Participant elects to purchase, along with payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds of a Subscription Purchase Price equal to the product of (a) the number of 4(2) Rights Offering Shares such 4(2) Eligible Participant elects to purchase multiplied by (b) the Per Share Price, so that the 4(2) Rights Exercise Form and the payment of the Subscription Purchase Price are actually received by the Subscription Agent on or before the 4(2) Rights Offering Expiration Date in accordance with these 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures.

To the extent a 4(2) Eligible Participant duly elects to purchase more than its number of 4(2) Primary Shares, such 4(2) Eligible Participant will be deemed to have elected to purchase all of its 4(2) Primary Shares and an additional number of Backstop Party Overallotment Shares and/or 4(2) Overallotment Shares, as applicable, equal to the difference between (a) the number of 4(2) Rights Offering Shares duly subscribed by such 4(2) Eligible Participant minus (b) such 4(2) Eligible Participant’s number of 4(2) Primary Shares.

Any difference between the Subscription Purchase Price actually paid by any 4(2) Eligible Participant and the amount duly payable by such 4(2) Eligible Participant to purchase 4(2) Rights Offering Shares shall be refunded to such 4(2) Eligible Participant, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable after refund amounts are determined by the Subscription Agent, provided that the Subscription Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to refund such amounts no later than ten (10) Business Days after the 4(2) Rights Offering Expiration Date.

The Subscription Agent shall not use the 4(2) Rights Offering Funds for any purpose other than to release such funds as directed by the Debtors pursuant to the Amended Plan on the Effective Date and shall not encumber or permit the 4(2) Rights Offering Funds to be encumbered by any lien or similar encumbrance. No interest will be paid to 4(2) Eligible Participants on account of any 4(2) Rights Offering Funds or other amounts paid in connection with their exercise of 4(2) Rights under any circumstances.

If more than the total number of 4(2) Rights Offering Shares is duly subscribed for pursuant to these 4(2) Rights Offering Procedures, the number of 4(2) Primary Shares each 4(2) Eligible Participant may duly subscribe to purchase shall be reduced pro rata such that the total number of shares duly subscribed for equals the Aggregate 4(2) Share Amount.

8.6. Modification, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements or Other Agreements

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed or rejected shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any,

 

-50-


including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been previously rejected or repudiated or are rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements and restatements to Prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the Prepetition nature of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Leases or the validity, priority or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

8.7. Reservation of Rights

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease as a Specified Contract, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder.

8.8. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date

Each Reorganized Debtor will perform its obligations under each contract and lease entered into by such Reorganized Debtor after the Petition Date, including any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed by such Reorganized Debtor, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the then applicable terms. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

8.9. Directors and Officers Insurance Policies and Agreements

To the extent that the D&O Liability Insurance Policies issued to, or entered into by, the Debtors prior to the Petition Date constitute executory contracts, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors’ unexpired D&O Liability Insurance Policies pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code effective as of the Effective Date. Entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair or otherwise modify any advancement, indemnity or other obligations of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

In addition, after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and all directors and officers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled from the insurers to the full benefits of any such policy for the full term of such policy regardless of whether such directors and officers remain in such positions after the Effective Date.

 

-51-


8.10. Indemnification and Reimbursement Obligations

On and from the Effective Date, except as prohibited by applicable law and subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall assume all (i) contractual indemnification obligations set forth in the Plan Supplement and the Backstop Commitment Agreement and (ii) indemnification obligations currently in place in the Debtors’ bylaws, certificates of incorporation (or other formation documents), board resolutions, and in Compensation and Benefits Programs or other agreements with the Indemnified Parties, including any agreements with APS. Without limiting the foregoing and except as prohibited by applicable law, the Debtors shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties for all costs, expenses, loss, damage or liability incurred by any such Indemnified Party arising from or related in any way to any and all Causes of Action whether known or unknown, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state securities laws or otherwise, including any claims or causes of action, whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction or other occurrence or circumstances existing or taking place prior to or on the Effective Date arising from or related in any way to the Debtors, including those arising from or related in any way to: (a) any action or omission of any such Indemnified Party with respect to any indebtedness of or any Equity Interest in the Debtors (including any action or omission of any such Indemnified Party with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting or disposition of any such investment); (b) any action or omission of any such Indemnified Party in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as an officer, director, member, employee, partner or agent of, or advisor to any Debtor; (c) any disclosure made or not made by any Indemnified Party to any current or former Holder of any such indebtedness of or any such Equity Interest in the Debtors; (d) any consideration paid to any such Indemnified Party by any of the Debtors in respect of any services provided by any such Indemnified Party to any Debtor; and (e) any action taken or not taken in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or the Plan, other than costs, expenses, loss, damage or liability arising out of or relating to any act or omission that is determined by a Final Order to have constituted willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or a criminal act. In the event that any such Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any Indemnified Party, as a result of matters to which the foregoing “Indemnification” may be related, the Reorganized Debtors shall promptly reimburse any such Indemnified Party for its reasonable and documented legal and other expenses (including advancing the costs of any investigation and preparation prior to final adjudication) incurred in connection therewith as such expenses are incurred and after a request for indemnification is made in writing, with reasonable documentation in support thereof; provided that, with respect to those individuals who were directors or officers of any of the Debtors at any time prior to the Effective Date (other than the chief restructuring officer, the interim chief financial officer, and other temporary staff provided by APS), but who, as of the Effective Date, no longer are directors or officers of such Debtor, the Debtors’ obligation to make advancements to and indemnify such individuals shall be limited to the extent of available coverage under their D&O Liability Insurance Policies (and payable from the proceeds of such D&O Liability Insurance Policies).

9. PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

9.1. Initial Distributions

On the Initial Distribution Date, the Distribution Agent shall make Distributions under the Plan on account of each Claim that is Allowed on or prior to the Effective Date.

9.2. Subsequent Distributions

9.2.1 Subsequent Distribution Dates. Reorganized Kodak shall (in consultation with the Kodak GUC Trustee) identify periodic dates after the Initial Distribution Date to be Subsequent Distribution Dates for purposes of making additional Distributions under the Plan. Each Subsequent Distribution Date shall be a Business Day and the period between any Subsequent Distribution Date and the prior Distribution Date shall not exceed 180 days.

9.2.2 Distributions on Disputed Claims. The Distribution Agent shall make Distributions with respect to a Claim that becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date on the first Subsequent Distribution Date after such Claim is Allowed. Unless Reorganized Kodak otherwise agrees, no partial Distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

9.2.3 Distributions on Allowed Claims from Disputed Claims Reserve. If there is Excess Property in the Disputed Claims Reserve on any Distribution Date and Reorganized Kodak so directs, the Distribution Agent shall make an additional Distribution to each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in an amount equal to such Holder’s Pro Rata share of such Excess Property.

9.3. Record Date and Delivery of Distributions

9.3.1 Record Date for Distributions. On the Distributions Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those Holders of Claims listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distributions Record Date. If a Claim, other than one based on a publicly traded security, is transferred 20 or fewer days before the Distributions Record Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical, and in any event, only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

9.3.2 Delivery of Distributions in General. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Distribution Agent shall make all Distributions required under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims, except that distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims governed by a separate agreement and administered by a Servicer shall be deposited with the appropriate Servicer, at which time such distributions shall be deemed complete, and the Servicer shall deliver such distributions in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the governing agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to Holders of record as of the Distributions Record

 

-53-


Date by the Distribution Agent or a Servicer as appropriate: (a) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim filed by such Holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such Holder if no Proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent have been notified in writing of a change of address); (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of change of address delivered to the Notice and Claims Agent; or (c) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Notice and Claims Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Distribution Agent and the Notice and Claims Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of the delivery of any Distributions under the Plan.

9.3.3 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. Except as otherwise provided herein, an order of the Bankruptcy Court, or as agreed to by the Holder and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, any Claim asserted in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollars at the Exchange Rate.

9.4. Distribution Agents

The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the authority, in their sole discretion, to enter into agreements with one or more Distribution Agents to facilitate the Distributions required hereunder. To the extent the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, do determine to utilize a Distribution Agent to facilitate the Distributions, such Distribution Agent would first be required to: (a) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any documents; (b) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any recoveries or Distributions required under the Plan; and (c) waive any right or ability to set off, deduct from or assert any Lien or other encumbrance against the Distributions required under the Plan to be distributed by such Distribution Agent.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay to the Distribution Agents all of their reasonable and documented fees and expenses without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions or consents of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise. The Distribution Agents shall submit detailed invoices to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for all fees and expenses for which the Distribution Agents seek reimbursement and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay those amounts that they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable, and shall object in writing to those fees and expenses, if any, that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, deem to be unreasonable. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, object to all or any portion of the amounts requested to be reimbursed in a Distribution Agent’s invoice, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and such Distribution Agent shall endeavor, in good faith, to reach mutual agreement on the amount of the appropriate payment of such disputed fees and/or expenses. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and a Distribution Agent are unable to resolve any differences regarding disputed fees or expenses, either party shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

-54-


9.5. Delivery of Distributions to DIP Facility Claims

For purposes of Distributions hereunder, the DIP ABL Agent shall be deemed to be the Holder of all DIP ABL Claims, and the DIP Term Loan Agent shall be the Holder of all DIP Term Loan Claims, and all Distributions on account of the DIP Facility Claims shall be made to the applicable DIP Facility Agent. As soon as practicable following compliance with the other requirements set forth in this Article 9, the DIP Facility Agents shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such Distributions to the applicable holders of Allowed DIP Facility Claims. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, and without limiting the exculpation and release provisions of the Plan, the DIP Facility Agents shall not have any liability to any person with respect to Distributions made or directed to be made by the DIP Facility Agents.

9.6. Delivery of Distributions to Second Lien Notes Claims

The Second Lien Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be the Holder of all Second Lien Notes Claims for purposes of Distributions hereunder, and all Distributions on account of Second Lien Notes Claims shall be made to or on behalf of the Second Lien Indenture Trustee. The Second Lien Indenture Trustee shall hold or direct such Distributions for the benefit of the holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims. As soon as practicable following compliance with the other requirements set forth in this Article 9, the Second Lien Indenture Trustee shall arrange to deliver such Distributions to, or on behalf of, such holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Lien Indenture Trustee shall only be required to act to make Distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Debtors’ obligations to make Distributions to the Holders of the Second Lien Notes Claims in accordance with Article 4 above shall be deemed satisfied upon delivery of Distributions to the Second Lien Indenture Trustee or, if consent of the Second Lien Indenture Trustee is given, to the Distribution Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Indenture Trustee, as provided for herein.

9.7. Delivery of Distributions to the Unsecured Notes Claims

The Unsecured Notes Trustee shall be deemed to be the Holder of all Unsecured Notes Claims for purposes of Distributions hereunder, and all Distributions on account of Unsecured Notes Claims shall be made to or on behalf of the Unsecured Notes Trustee. The Unsecured Notes Trustee shall hold or direct such Distributions for the benefit of holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims. As soon as practicable following compliance with the other requirements set forth in this Article 9, the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall arrange to deliver such Distributions to, or on behalf of, such holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall only be required to act to make Distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Debtors’ obligations to make Distributions to the Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims in accordance with Article 4 above shall be deemed satisfied upon delivery of Distributions to the Unsecured Notes Trustee or, if consent of the Unsecured Notes Trustee is given, to the Distribution Agent on behalf of the Unsecured Notes Trustee, as provided for herein.

 

-55-


9.8. Fractional and De Minimis Distributions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall not be required to make Distributions or payments of less than $50.00, or such other amount as the Reorganized Debtors and the Kodak GUC Trustee reasonably agree, which amount shall be set forth in the Plan Supplement (whether Cash or otherwise) and shall not be required to make partial Distributions or Distributions of fractional shares of New Common Stock. Whenever any payment or Distribution of a fractional share of New Common Stock under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or Distribution will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest number of shares of New Common Stock (up or down), with half shares of New Common Stock or less being rounded down.

In addition, the Distribution Agent may, but shall not have any obligation to, make a Distribution on account of an Allowed Claim on a Subsequent Distribution Date if the aggregate amount of all Distributions authorized to be made on the Distribution Date has an economic value less than $250,000, unless such Subsequent Distribution Date would be the final Distribution Date.

9.9. Undeliverable Distributions

In the event that any Distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, or no address for such Holder is found in the Debtors’ records, no further Distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent is notified in writing of the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such Distribution shall be made to such Holder on the first Distribution Date that is not less than 30 days thereafter. Undeliverable Distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent until such time as such Distribution becomes deliverable or such Distribution reverts to the Reorganized Debtors or is cancelled pursuant to Article 9.10 herein, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.

9.10. Reversion

Any Distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of six months thereafter shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is New Common Stock, such Unclaimed Distribution shall be deemed cancelled. Upon such revesting or cancellation, the Claim of any Holder or its successors and assigns with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property laws to the contrary. The provisions of the Plan regarding undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Distributions shall apply with equal force to Distributions that are issued by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Distribution Agent made pursuant to any indenture or Certificate, notwithstanding any provision in such indenture or Certificate to the contrary and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned or unclaimed property law.

 

-56-


Nothing contained herein shall require the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim whose Distribution is declared an undeliverable or Unclaimed Distribution.

9.11. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of a Certificate shall be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate to the Distribution Agent or a Servicer (to the extent the relevant Claim is administered by a Servicer). Such Certificate shall be cancelled solely as to the Debtors and the Second Lien Notes Indentures and Unsecured Notes Indentures shall remain in effect and govern the rights and obligations of the Indenture Trustees and the beneficial holders of notes issued under such indentures. Subject to the foregoing sentence, regardless of any actual surrender of a Certificate, the deemed surrender shall have the same effect as if its Holder had actually surrendered such Certificate (including the discharge of such Holder’s Claim or Equity Interest pursuant to the Plan), and such Holder shall be deemed to have relinquished all rights, Claims and Equity Interests with respect to such Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this Article shall not apply to any Claims Reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

9.12. Compliance with Tax Requirements and Allocations to Principal and Interest

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any tax law, and all Distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including withholding in kind (including withholding New Common Stock), liquidating a portion of the Distributions to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding Distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such Distributions or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. For purposes of the Plan, any withheld amount (or property) shall be treated as if paid to the applicable claimant. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all Distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, liens and encumbrances. Distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to trust fund-type taxes, then to other taxes and then to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that has accrued on such Claims.

9.13. Setoffs

Except as otherwise provided herein, a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or as agreed to by the Holder and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, each Reorganized Debtor, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 thereof), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or such terms as may be agreed to by the Holder and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, without any further notice to, or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, set off against any Allowed Claim and the Distributions to be

 

-57-


made on account of such Allowed Claim (before any Distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any claims, rights and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such claims, rights or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any Holder of a Claim be entitled to set off any Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, unless such Holder has filed a Proof of Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases by the applicable Claims Bar Date preserving such setoff and a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court has been entered, authorizing and approving such setoff.

9.14. No Postpetition Interest on Claims

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Article 4.2.3 hereof), required by applicable law, or agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claim, and no Holder of a Claim against the Debtors shall be entitled to interest accruing on, or after the Petition Date, on any such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date an initial or final Distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

9.15. No Payment Over the Full Amount

In no event shall a Holder of a Claim receive more than the full payment of such Claim. To the extent any Holder has received payment in full with respect to a Claim, such Claim shall be disallowed and expunged without an objection to such Claim having been filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

9.16. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

9.16.1 Claims Paid by Third Parties. If the Debtors become aware of the payment by a third party which causes the Holder of an Allowed Claim to receive more than payment in full, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall send a notice of wrongful payment to the applicable Holder requesting return of any excess payments and advising the recipient of the provisions of the Plan requiring turnover of excess funds. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such Distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the two-week grace period until the amount is repaid.

9.16.2 Claims Payable by Third Parties. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, such Claim shall be disallowed and expunged without an objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

-58-


10. PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

10.1. Objections to Claims

Any objections to Claims (other than Administrative Claims) shall be filed on or before the Claims Objection Bar Date.

10.2. Estimation of Claims

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not yet been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including, but not limited to, for purposes of Distributions).

Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court or under the Plan. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation of such Claim unless the Holder of such Claim has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before 20 calendar days after the date such Claim is estimated by the Bankruptcy Court.

10.3. Expungement and Disallowance of Claims

10.3.1 Paid, Satisfied, Amended, Duplicate or Superseded Claims. Any Claim that has been paid, satisfied, amended, duplicated (by virtue of the substantive consolidation provided for under this Plan, or otherwise) or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors on or after 14 calendar days after the date on which notice of such adjustment or expungement has been filed with the Bankruptcy Court, without an objection to such Claim having to be filed, and without any further action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

10.3.2 Retiree Benefit Claims. Consistent with the Retiree Settlement, any Claims filed by Retirees on account of Retiree Benefits modified by the Retiree Settlement are expunged and disallowed without an objection to such Claim having to be filed, and without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

-59-


10.3.3 Claims by Persons From Which Property Is Recoverable. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Reorganized Debtors or ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, any Claims held by any Person or Entity from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550 or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549 or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any Holder of such Claim may not receive any Distributions on account of such Claim until such time as such Cause of Action against that Person or Entity has been resolved.

10.3.4 Indemnification Claims. All Claims filed on account of an indemnification obligation to a director, officer or employee shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date, to the extent such indemnification obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

10.3.5 Employee Benefit Claims. All Claims filed on account of obligations owed under any Compensation and Benefits Program (including, for the avoidance for doubt, the Qualified Plans) shall be deemed satisfied, withdrawn and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date, to the extent the Reorganized Debtors elect to assume or continue to honor such Compensation and Benefits Program, without any further action of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and without further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court.

10.3.6 Claims Filed After the Applicable Claims Bar Date. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, any and all Proofs of Claim filed after the applicable Claims Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any and all Holders of such Claims shall not receive any Distributions on account of such Claims, unless such late-filed Proof of Claim has been deemed timely filed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

10.4. Amendments to Proofs of Claim

On or after the Effective Date, a Proof of Claim may not be amended (other than solely to update or correct the name or address of the Holder of such Claim) without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, and any such amended Proof of Claim filed without such prior authorization shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

10.5. No Distributions Pending Allowance

If an objection to a Claim or a portion thereof is filed as set forth in Article 10 herein or the Claim otherwise remains a Disputed Claim, except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, no payment or Distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or portion thereof, as applicable, unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

-60-


10.6. Distributions After Allowance

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, Distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan.

10.7. Administration Responsibilities

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority to (a) file, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims, (b) settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and (c) administer and adjust, or cause to be administered and adjusted, the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that nothing in this Article 10.7 shall limit the ability under the Bankruptcy Code of any party-in-interest to object to any Claim prior to the Claim Objection Bar Date unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

10.8. Disputed Claims Reserve

On the Initial Distribution Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors (after consultation with the Kodak GUC Trustee) shall set aside in the Disputed Claims Reserve the amount of New Common Stock or Cash that Reorganized Kodak determines would likely have been distributed to the Holders of all Disputed Claims as if such Disputed Claims had been Allowed on the Effective Date, with the amount of such Allowed Claims to be determined, solely for the purposes of establishing reserves and for maximum Distribution purposes, to be the lesser of (a) the asserted amount of the Disputed Claim filed with the Bankruptcy Court as set forth in the non-duplicative Proof of Claim, or (if no proof of such Claim was filed) listed by the Debtors in the Schedules, (b) the amount, if any, estimated by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or ordered by other order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (c) the amount otherwise agreed to by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors in consultation with the Requisite Backstop Parties, as applicable, and the Holder of such Disputed Claim for Distribution purposes. With respect to all Disputed Claims that are General Unsecured Claims and are unliquidated or contingent and for which no dollar amount is asserted on a Proof of Claim, the Debtors will reserve an aggregate number of shares of New Common Stock adjusted from time to time equal to the amount reasonably determined by the Debtors.

The Distribution Agent may, at the direction of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, adjust the Disputed Claims Reserve to reflect all earnings thereon (net of any expenses relating thereto, such expenses including any taxes imposed thereon or otherwise payable by the reserve), to be distributed on the Distribution Dates, as required by this Plan. The Distribution Agent shall hold in the Disputed Claims Reserve all dividends, payments and other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the property held in the Disputed Claims Reserve, to the extent that such property continues to be so held at the time such distributions are made or such obligations arise. The taxes imposed on the Disputed Claims Reserve (if any) shall be paid by the Distribution Agent from the property held in the Disputed Claims Reserve, and the Reorganized Debtors shall have no liability for such taxes.

 

-61-


To the extent that a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date, the Distribution Agent will, out of the Disputed Claims Reserve, distribute to the Holder thereof the Distribution, if any, to which such Holder is entitled in accordance with this Plan. Subject to this Plan, all Distributions made under this paragraph on account of Allowed Claims will be made together with any dividends, payments or other Distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property, then held in the Disputed Claims Reserve as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates Distributions were previously made to Allowed Claim Holders included in the applicable Class under this Plan.

The Distribution Agent shall cause all New Common Stock in the Disputed Claims Reserve to be voted in proportion to the votes of all other holders of New Common Stock. After all Disputed Claims have become Allowed Claims or become disallowed and all Distributions required pursuant to this Plan have been made, the Distribution Agent shall, at the direction of Reorganized Debtors, either (a) effect a final distribution of the shares remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve or (b) effect the orderly sale of the shares remaining in the Disputed Claims Reserve (so long as the aggregate market value of such shares does not exceed $1 million) and distribute the actual Cash proceeds, in each case as required by this Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended Disclosure Statement and related documents, Plan, any other Plan document, the Confirmation Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening or grants an injunction or release) (collectively, the “Plan-Related Documents”), the

Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements shall continue in effect after the Effective Date pursuant to their respective terms and conditions, and nothing in the Plan-Related Documents shall relieve any of the Reorganized Debtors from performing any of the Debtors’ obligations under the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements including the provision or maintenance of any collateral and security required by the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements, and payment of any claim for deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospective premiums, or any other premium or similar obligations of any kind, any claim for contribution, indemnification, or subrogation, or any setoff, recoupment, or counterclaim arising out of or relating to any of the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements, nor shall anything in the Plan-Related Documents relieve any insurer from performing its obligations under the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements, in each case regardless of whether such obligations arise prior to or after the Effective Date. To the extent that any of the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements is considered to be executory contracts, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Plan shall constitute a motion to assume or ratify such Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements. On and after the Effective Date, the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements will remain valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, shall not be impaired by the Plan or Confirmation Order, and the Reorganized Debtors and Old Republic Insurance Company will perform their respective obligations to one another, if any, under the Old Republic Insurance Policies and Agreements.

15.17. Post-Effective Date Service

After the Effective Date, the Debtors are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities that have filed renewed requests for service.

The Kodak GUC Trust Agreement may provide powers, duties and authority in addition to those explicitly stated herein, but only to the extent that such powers, duties and authority do not affect the status of the Kodak GUC Trust as a liquidating trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

16.4. Governance of the Kodak GUC Trust

The Kodak GUC Trustee shall govern the Kodak GUC Trust.

16.5. The Kodak GUC Trustee

In furtherance of and consistent with the purpose of the Kodak GUC Trust and the Plan, the Kodak GUC Trustee shall (i) have the power and authority to hold, manage, convert to Cash, and distribute the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets, including prosecuting and resolving the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions, (ii) hold the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets for the benefit of its beneficiaries and (iii) have the power and authority to hold, manage, and distribute Cash or non-Cash assets obtained through the exercise of its power and authority. In all circumstances, the Kodak GUC Trustee shall act in the best interests of all beneficiaries of the Kodak GUC Trust and in furtherance of the purpose of the Kodak GUC Trust.

 

-80-


16.7. Non-transferability of Kodak GUC Trust Interests

The beneficial interests in the Kodak GUC Trust shall not be certificated and shall not be transferable.

16.8. Cash

The Kodak GUC Trustee may invest Cash (including any earnings thereon or proceeds therefrom) as permitted by section 345 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that such investments are investments permitted to be made by a liquidating trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), as reflected therein, or under applicable Internal Revenue Service guidelines, rulings, or other controlling authorities.

16.9. Kodak GUC Trust Distributions

At least annually, the Kodak GUC Trustee shall (in consultation with the Reorganized Debtors) make Distributions to the beneficiaries of the Kodak GUC Trust of all Cash on hand in accordance with the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement (including any Cash received from the Debtors on the Effective Date, and treating as Cash for purposes of this section any permitted investments under Article 16.8 of the Plan) except such amounts (i) that would be distributable to a holder of a Disputed Claim if such Disputed Claim had been Allowed prior to the time of such Distribution (but only until such Claim is resolved), (ii) that are reasonably necessary to meet contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of the assets of the Kodak GUC Trust during liquidation, (iii) that are necessary to pay reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, any taxes imposed on the Kodak GUC Trust or in respect of its assets), and (iv) that are necessary to satisfy other liabilities incurred by the Kodak GUC Trust in accordance with the Plan or the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement.

16.10. Costs and Expenses of the Kodak GUC Trust

The costs and expenses of the Kodak GUC Trust, including the fees and expenses of the Kodak GUC Trustee and its retained professionals, shall be paid from the Kodak GUC Trust with assets of the Kodak GUC Trust. Reorganized Kodak shall have no liability therefor.

-81-


16.13. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Kodak GUC Trust

16.13.1 Kodak GUC Trust Assets Treated as Owned by Creditors. For all federal income tax purposes, all parties (including the Reorganized Debtors, the Kodak GUC Trustee and the beneficiaries of the Kodak GUC Trust) shall treat the transfer of assets to the Kodak GUC Trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries thereof, whether their Claims are Allowed on or after the Effective Date, as

 

  (a) a transfer to the Holders of Allowed Claims receiving Kodak GUC Trust beneficial interests of their proportionate interests in the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets (other than to the extent allocable to Disputed Claims), it being understood that the Backstop Party’s interests in the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets shall be reduced to take into account the Backstop Trust Waiver, followed by

 

  (b) the transfer by such Holders to the Kodak GUC Trust of the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Kodak GUC Trust (and in respect all remaining assets, as a transfer to the Kodak GUC Trust to hold in reserve pending the resolution of Disputed Claims).

Accordingly, the Holders of Allowed Claims receiving Kodak GUC Trust beneficial interests shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as the grantors and owners of their respective shares of the assets of the Kodak GUC Trust. The foregoing treatment shall also apply, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for state and local income tax purposes.

16.13.2 Tax Reporting

 

  (a) The Kodak GUC Trustee shall file returns for the Kodak GUC Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a) and in accordance with this Article 16.13.2. The Kodak GUC Trustee shall also annually send to each Holder of a beneficial interest a separate statement setting forth the Holder’s share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and will instruct all such Holders to report such items on their federal income tax returns or to forward the appropriate information to the beneficial holders with instructions to report such items on their federal income tax returns. The Kodak GUC Trustee shall also file (or cause to be filed) any other statements, returns or disclosures relating to the Kodak GUC Trust that are required by any governmental unit.

 

  (b) As soon as possible after the Effective Date, the Kodak GUC Trustee shall make a good-faith valuation of the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets, and such valuation shall be made available from time to time, to the extent relevant, and shall be used consistently by all parties (including the Reorganized Debtors, the Kodak GUC Trustee and the beneficiaries of the Kodak GUC Trust), for all federal income tax purposes.

 

-82-


  (c) Allocations of Kodak GUC Trust taxable income among the Kodak GUC Trust beneficiaries shall be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount of Cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (without regard to any restrictions on distributions described herein) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the Kodak GUC Trust had distributed all its other assets (valued at their tax book value) to the Holders of the Kodak GUC Trust interests (treating all Disputed Claims as if they were Allowed Claims, in each case up to the tax book value of the assets treated as contributed by such Holders, adjusted for prior taxable income and loss and taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Kodak GUC Trust. Similarly, taxable loss of the Kodak GUC Trust shall be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the remaining Kodak GUC Trust’s assets. The tax book value of the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets for this purpose shall equal their fair market value on the Effective Date, adjusted in accordance with tax accounting principles prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, the applicable tax regulations, and other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.

 

  (d) Subject to definitive guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the receipt by the Kodak GUC Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Kodak GUC Trustee requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit if not contested by the Kodak GUC Trustee), the Kodak GUC Trustee shall (A) timely elect to treat the Kodak GUC Trust Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9, and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistent with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including the Reorganized Debtors, the Kodak GUC Trustee, and the Kodak GUC Trust beneficiaries) shall report for tax purposes consistent with the foregoing.

 

  (e) The Kodak GUC Trustee shall be responsible for payments, out of the assets of the Kodak GUC Trust, of any taxes imposed on the trust or its assets including the Kodak GUC Trust Disputed Claims Reserve. In the event, and to the extent, any Cash retained on account of Disputed Claims in the Kodak GUC Trust Disputed Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay the portion of any such taxes attributable to the taxable income arising from the assets allocable to, or retained on account of, Disputed Claims, such taxes shall be (i) reimbursed from any subsequent Cash amounts retained on account of Disputed Claims, or (ii) to the extent such Disputed Claims have subsequently been resolved, deducted from any amounts distributable by the Kodak GUC Trustee as a result of the resolutions of such Disputed Claims.

 

-83-


  (f) The Kodak GUC Trustee may request an expedited determination of taxes of the Kodak GUC Trust, including the Kodak GUC Trust Disputed Claims Reserve, under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all returns filed for, or on behalf of, the Kodak GUC Trust for all taxable periods through the dissolution of the Kodak GUC Trust.

16.14. Dissolution

The Kodak GUC Trustee and the Kodak GUC Trust shall be discharged or dissolved, as the case may be, at such time as (a) the Kodak GUC Trustee and the Trust Advisory Board determine that the administration of the Kodak GUC Trust is not likely to yield sufficient additional proceeds to justify further pursuit of the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions or the Creditors’ Committee’s Causes of Action and (b) all Distributions required to be made by the Kodak GUC Trustee under the Plan and the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement have been made; provided that in no event shall the Kodak GUC Trust be dissolved later than three years after the Effective Date unless the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion within the six-month period prior to the third anniversary (or at least six months prior to the end of any extension period), determines that a fixed period extension (not to exceed three years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that such further extension would not adversely affect the status of the trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery and liquidation of the Kodak GUC Trust’s assets.

16.15. Indemnification and Exculpation

The Kodak GUC Trustee or the individuals comprising the Kodak GUC Trustee, as the case may be, and the Kodak GUC Trustee’s agents and professionals, shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Kodak GUC Trustee, except those acts arising out of its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence, and each shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement for fees and expenses in defending any and all of its actions or inactions in its capacity as, or on behalf of, the Kodak GUC Trustee, except for any actions or inactions involving willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any indemnification claim of the Kodak GUC Trustee (and the other parties entitled to indemnification under this subsection) shall be satisfied solely from the assets of the Kodak GUC Trust. The Kodak GUC Trustee shall be entitled to rely, in good faith, on the advice of its retained professionals.

The members of the Trust Advisory Board shall be exculpated by the beneficiaries of the Kodak GUC Trust and any other Holders of General Unsecured Claims or the Retiree Settlement Unsecured Claim from any and all claims or causes of action and assertions of liability arising out of their performance of the duties conferred upon them by the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement, or any orders of the Bankruptcy Court, except to the extent an act constitutes bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or actual fraud. No Holder of a General Unsecured Claim or the Retiree Settlement Unsecured Claim or representative thereof shall have or pursue any claim or cause of action against any

 

-84-


member of the Trust Advisory Board for taking any action in accordance with the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement, or to implement the provisions of an order of the Bankruptcy Court. Nothing in this provision shall be deemed to alter or limit the provisions of the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement.

16.16. Authority to Prosecute and Settle Actions

Subject to the terms of the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement, after the Effective Date, only the Kodak GUC Trustee shall have the authority to maintain, prosecute, settle, dismiss, abandon or otherwise dispose of the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions. Subject to the terms of the Kodak GUC Trust Agreement, the Kodak GUC Trustee may enter into and consummate settlements and compromises of the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions without notice to or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

16.17. Reorganized Debtors’ Cooperation and Supply of Information and Documentation

Upon written request from the Kodak GUC Trustee, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation, and shall supply, at the Kodak GUC Trust’s sole expense and subject to confidentiality protections reasonably acceptable to the Reorganized Debtors, all reasonable information, records and documentation, to the Kodak GUC Trustee that is required to promptly, diligently and effectively evaluate, file, prosecute and settle the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions. Additionally, upon request by the Kodak GUC Trustee, the Reorganized Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available personnel with information relevant to the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions.

16.18. Preservation of Privilege and Defenses

In connection with the Kodak GUC Trust Avoidance Actions, any applicable privilege or immunity of the Debtors (or Reorganized Debtors), including but not limited to any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral), and all defenses, claims, counterclaims and rights of setoff or recoupment shall vest in the Kodak GUC Trust and may be asserted by the Kodak GUC Trustee. Nothing in this Article 16.18 nor any action taken by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors in connection with this Plan, including any action taken pursuant to the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations under Article 16.17, shall be (or be deemed to be) a waiver of any privilege or immunity of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, including any attorney-client privilege or work-product privilege attaching to any documents or communications (whether written or oral). Notwithstanding the Reorganized Debtors’ providing any privileged information to the Kodak GUC Trustee, the Kodak GUC Trust, or any party or person associated with the Kodak GUC Trust, such privileged information shall remain privileged. The GUC Trust shall have no right to waive the attorney-client privilege, work product or other protection or immunity of any information received from the Reorganized Debtors. The Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors) retain the right to waive their own privileges or immunities.

The undersigned hereby agrees to be bound by all of the obligations of the Backstop Parties set forth in Section 6.9 of the Agreement as if it were an original party thereto solely with respect to Section 6.9 of the Agreement.

Sections 10.4 and 10.5 of the Agreement are hereby incorporated herein as if set forth herein in their entirety.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this joinder agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of [DATE].

Exhibit E

Terms of Warrants


This Term Sheet provides a summary of the principal terms of warrants to be issued to Holders of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims and the Class 6 Retiree Settlement Unsecured Claim (together, the “Initial Warrantholders”) pursuant to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) of Eastman Kodak Company (“Kodak”) and certain of its subsidiaries. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

Issuer:    Reorganized Kodak
Definition:    Reorganized Kodak shall issue the “125% Warrants” and the “135% Warrants” (collectively, the “Warrants”) to the Initial Warrantholders. Each of the 125% Warrants and the 135% Warrants shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase up to 5% of the Effective Date Share Issuance.
Exercise Price:   

The exercise price per share of the 125% Warrants will be 25% above the Per Share Price (the “125% Warrants Exercise Price”).

 

The exercise price per share of the 135% Warrants will be 35% above the Per Share Price (the “135% Warrants Exercise Price” and each of the 125% Warrants Exercise Price and the 135% Warrants Exercise Price, the “Exercise Price”).

Exercise Period:    The Warrants will be exercisable in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, during the five years from the date of issuance.
Transferability:    The Warrants will not be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer. The Warrants are being issued to Initial Warrantholders in an offering in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments:    Customary anti-dilution adjustments.
Cashless Exercise/Net Share Settlement:    Upon exercise of Warrants, in lieu of paying the applicable Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender the Warrants for that number of shares of New Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of New Common Stock to which the Warrants would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current market price per share of the New Common Stock and the applicable Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current market price per share of New Common Stock.
Listing of Warrant Shares:    If at any time the New Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, Kodak will use reasonable best efforts to list, and keep listed, so long as the New Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automatic quotation system, any shares of New Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

Exhibit F

Terms of Registration Rights Agreement


TERM SHEET FOR REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT1

 

Parties:    Pursuant to the Plan, the Company and the Backstop Parties receiving New Common Stock or Warrants of the Company shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement in form and substance consistent with the terms set forth in this Term Sheet and otherwise on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Backstop Parties.
Registrable Securities:    Registrable Securities” shall mean any shares of New Common Stock held by the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement (i) issued on the Effective Date, (ii) issued upon exercise of any Warrants, (iii) which are contemplated by and to be distributed pursuant to the Plan or are acquired by an affiliate of the Company within twelve months of the Effective Date, and are not otherwise eligible for resale without an exemption under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, or (iv) any other securities issued or issuable with respect to any of the shares described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above in connection with a stock dividend, stock split or distribution, combination of shares, or in connection with a merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar transaction; provided, that any such securities shall cease to constitute “Registrable Securities” upon the earliest to occur of: (A) the date on which such securities are disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (B) the date on which such securities become eligible for sale under Rule 144 (or any successor rule then in effect) promulgated under the Securities Act, without restriction thereunder and the restrictive legend has been removed from the applicable share certificates; and (C) the date on which such securities cease to be outstanding. Immediately following the Effective Date, the New Common Stock will be registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act.
Initial Registration:    At any time after the earlier of (i) the filing of the Company’s first filing of a report on Form 10-K following the Effective Date or (ii) June 30, 2014, holders of Registrable Securities representing at least 25% of the outstanding shares of New Common Stock as of the Effective Date may request that the Company effectuate a registered public offering of such shares as may be specified in the request (having an aggregate market value of at least $75 million) (the “Initial Registration”). If by the second anniversary of the Effective Date the Company has not yet consummated the Initial Registration, such request may be made by the holders of Registrable Securities representing at least 10% of the outstanding shares of New Common Stock as of the Effective Date. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate any such requested Initial Registration in accordance with customary terms to be reflected in the definitive registration rights agreement (subject to the blackouts described below).

 

1 

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) of Eastman Kodak Company (the “Company”).


Other Demands Registrations:   

Subject to the breathing period and blackouts referred to below and the termination of registration rights described below, following the Initial Registration, at any time after the expiration of any applicable lock up period, any holder or group of holders collectively holding 10% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities shall be entitled to demand that the Company put up a shelf (if then available) and thereafter effectuate one or more takedowns off of such shelf, or, if a shelf is not available, effectuate one or more stand-alone registered offerings provided, that such stand-alone non-shelf registrations or shelf take-downs may not be requested more than four times in the aggregate and, in each case, shall include shares having an aggregate market value of at least $75 million; provided, further, that such minimum dollar limit shall not apply to open market sales to brokers or similar transactions under an existing shelf as to which the Company has no obligations of the kind that may be mutually agreed by the parties with regard to underwritten offerings. The plan of distribution under any such shelf shall provide such flexibility as may reasonably be requested by the holders of Registrable Securities, with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

Subject to customary blackouts referred to below, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement continuously until the earliest of (i) three years, (ii) the day after the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such shelf registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto and (iii) the first date on which there shall cease to be any Registrable Securities covered by such shelf registration statement outstanding.

 

Regarding cutbacks, all holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to participate in any such demand registration/takedown on a pro rata basis and shall have priority over any shares sought to be sold by the Company or any other person in any such demand registration/takedown.

 

There shall be at least a 60-day “breathing period” between the completion of any of the shelf and/or other demand registrations/takedowns referred to above and any request for any such subsequent registration/takedown hereunder.

Piggyback Rights:    Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to piggyback onto any registration/shelf takedown by the Company of the New Common Stock for its own account or for the account of any other holders. The Company shall have priority in any registration it has initiated for its own account, and the holders of Registrable Securities collectively shall have priority in any registration initiated for the account of any holder. Any cutback required with respect to the holders of Registrable Securities shall be done on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration/takedown.


Selection of
Underwriters:
   In the event the offering is to be underwritten, (i) if a majority of the securities sold in such offering is being sold by the Company for its own account, the Company shall have the right to select the underwriter(s) and (ii) otherwise, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering shall have the right to select the underwriters with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Blackouts:   

The Company shall have a customary right (such right to be mutually agreed) to suspend, at any time (but not more than once in any twelve-month period) the registration process and/or suspend a holder’s ability to use a prospectus if the Company believes, in the good faith judgment of its Board, that the continuation of the registration process thereof at the time requested (i) would adversely affect a pending or proposed significant corporate event, proposed financing or negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto; or (ii) would require the disclosure of material non-public information the disclosure of which at such time would, in the good faith judgment of the Board, be materially adverse to the interests of the Company.

 

The filing of a registration statement (or amendment or supplement thereto) by the Company cannot be deferred, and the holder’s rights to make sales cannot be suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph (x) in the case of clause (i) above, for more than ten days after the abandonment or consummation of any of the proposals or transactions set forth in such clause (i); (y) in the case of clause (ii), until the earlier to occur of the filing by the Company of its next succeeding Form 10-K or Form 10-Q or the date upon which such information otherwise has been publicly disclosed by the Company; or (z) in any event, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii) above, for more than 90 days after the date of the Board’s determination; provided, that the Company may not suspend any holder’s ability to use a prospectus for more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period. In addition, the Company shall have the right to suspend the any holder’s ability to use a prospectus in connection with non-underwritten sales off of the shelf during each of its regular quarterly blackout periods applicable to directors and senior officers under the Company’s policies in existence from time to time. The Company shall not be required to effectuate an underwritten offering (during such a regular blackout period or otherwise) to the extent the Company reasonably concludes, after consultation in good faith with the relevant holders of Registrable Securities, that the Company cannot provide adequate, timely disclosure or satisfy other underwriting conditions in connection with such offering without undue burden.

Lock-Ups:    In connection with an underwritten offering, any holder of Registrable Securities participating in such offering (or given an opportunity to participate in such offering) shall be subject to a lock-up period agreed to (i) by the Company, if a majority of the securities being sold in such offering are being sold for its own account, or (ii) by the holders of Registrable Securities holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such holders, if a majority of the securities being sold in such offering are being sold by holder of Registrable Securities.


Expenses:    The Company shall pay all costs and expenses associated with each registration incurred by the Company, including, for each registration statement prepared, the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of attorneys selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld. Holders of Registrable Securities will pay underwriting discounts and commissions (and any applicable taxes) on any Registrable Securities sold by them pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities sold by them.
