EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
(DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in the preparation of the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Eastman Kodak Company (“EKC” or the “Company”) and all companies directly or indirectly controlled, either through majority ownership or otherwise, (collectively, “Kodak”).  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Kodak’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On January 19, 2012 (the “Petition Date”), Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) case number 12-10202.  The Company’s foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Filing Entities”) were not part of the Bankruptcy Filing.  The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Non-Filing Entities continue to operate in the ordinary course of business.

Kodak incurred a net loss for the years ended 2012 and 2011, and had a shareholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  To improve Kodak’s performance and address competitive challenges, Kodak has developed a strategic plan for the ongoing operation of the business.  Successful implementation of Kodak’s plan, however, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.  In addition, the competitive industry conditions under which Kodak operates have negatively impacted its financial position, results of operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in the future.  These factors raise substantial doubt about Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Kodak will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Kodak’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to comply with the financial and other covenants contained in its debtor-in-possession credit agreements, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of Kodak’s plan of reorganization and Kodak’s ability to successfully implement the plan, among other factors.  As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty.  While operating as debtors-in-possession under chapter 11, Kodak may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted  in the ordinary course of business (and subject to restrictions contained in the debtor-in-possession credit agreements and the Backstop Commitment Agreement), for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Further, the plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should Kodak be unable to continue as a going concern or as a consequence of the Bankruptcy Filing.  Refer to Note 2, “Bankruptcy Proceedings” for additional information.

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification due to the presentation of discontinued operations, assets held for sale and for a change in the segment measure of profitability.  Refer to Note 19, “Segment Information” and Note 21, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  ASU No. 2013-02 requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from each component of Accumulated other comprehensive income either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, for those amounts required to be reclassified into Net income in their entirety in the same reporting period.  For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period, cross-reference to other disclosures is required.  The changes to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as a result of this update are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012 (January 1, 2013 for Kodak).  The adoption of this guidance required changes in presentation only and did not have an impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.”  ASU No. 2012-02 amends the impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by allowing companies to first assess the qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (January 1, 2013 for Kodak).  The adoption of this guidance did not impact Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, “De-recognition of In-Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification,” which amends ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.”  ASU No. 2011-10 states that when an investor ceases to have a controlling financial interest in an entity that is in-substance real estate as a result of a default on the entity’s nonrecourse debt, the investor should apply the guidance under ASC Subtopic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment – Real Estate Sales to determine whether to derecognize the entity’s assets (including real estate) and liabilities (including the nonrecourse debt).  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for deconsolidation events occurring during fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012 (January 1, 2013 for Kodak).  The adoption of this guidance did not impact Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment.”  ASU No. 2011-08 amends the impairment test for Goodwill by allowing companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that Goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test.  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update were effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for Kodak).  The adoption of this guidance did not impact Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”  ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of Other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity and requires an entity to present the total of Comprehensive income, the components of Net income, and the components of Other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of Comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update were effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for Kodak).  The adoption of this guidance required changes in presentation only and did not have an impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (ASC Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.”  ASU No. 2011-04 amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization.  The changes to the ASC as a result of this update were effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for Kodak).  The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”.  The ASU provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In that case, the liability associated with the unrecognized tax benefit is presented in the financial statements as a reduction to the related deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward.  In situations in which a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets.  The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013 (January 1, 2014 for Kodak) and Kodak is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) - Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon De-recognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.”  ASU No. 2013-05 specifies that a Cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity.  For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro-rata portion of CTA attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment.  When an entity sells either a part or all of its investment in a consolidated foreign entity, CTA would be recognized in earnings only if the sale results in the parent no longer having a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity.  The changes in the ASC are effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 (January 1, 2014 for Kodak) and Kodak is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, “Liabilities (Topic 405) - Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date."  ASU No 2013-04 requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following:  the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.  The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.  The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 (January 1, 2014 for Kodak) and Kodak is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption on Kodak’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2:  BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS

The Bankruptcy Filing was intended to permit Kodak to reorganize and bolster liquidity, monetize non-strategic intellectual property, fairly resolve legacy liabilities, and focus on its most valuable business lines.  The Debtors’ goal is to implement a plan of reorganization that meets the standards for confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code.  Confirmation of a plan of reorganization could materially alter the classifications and amounts reported in Kodak’s consolidated financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying values of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of a confirmation of a plan of reorganization or other arrangement or the effect of any operational changes that may be implemented.

OPERATION AND IMPLICATIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY FILING

Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of voluntary bankruptcy petitions by the Debtors automatically stayed most actions against the Debtors, including most actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over Kodak’s property.  Accordingly, although the Bankruptcy Filing triggered defaults for certain of the Debtors’ debt obligations, creditors are stayed from taking any actions as a result of such defaults.  Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to compromise under a plan of reorganization.  As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty.  The Debtors, operating as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, may, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business (and subject to restrictions contained in the debtor-in-possession credit agreements and the Backstop Commitment Agreement), sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or compromise liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the consolidated financial statements.  Further, a confirmed plan of reorganization or other arrangement may materially change the amounts and classifications in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
10

 


The Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions.  In general, rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of the executory contract or unexpired lease in question and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counter-party or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach.  Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure any existing defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease.

Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtors received approval, but not direction, from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition obligations generally designed to stabilize Kodak’s operations.  These obligations related to certain employee wages, salaries and benefits, certain customer program obligations, and the payment of vendors and other providers in the ordinary course for goods and services received after the Petition Date.  The Debtors have retained, pursuant to Bankruptcy Court approval, legal and financial professionals to advise the Company in connection with the Bankruptcy Filing and certain other professionals to provide services and advice in the ordinary course of business.  From time to time, the Debtors may seek Bankruptcy Court approval to retain additional professionals.

The U.S. Trustee for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee”) has appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “UCC”) as well as an official committee of retired employees (“Retiree Committee”).  The UCC, the Retiree Committee and their legal representatives have a right to be heard on all matters affecting the Debtors that come before the Bankruptcy Court.  There can be no assurance that the UCC will support the Debtors’ positions on matters to be presented to the Bankruptcy Court in the future or on the plan of reorganization.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

In order for the Debtors to emerge successfully from chapter 11, the Debtors must obtain the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the plan of reorganization, which will enable the Debtors to emerge from chapter 11 as a reorganized entity operating in the ordinary course of business outside of bankruptcy.  A plan of reorganization determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders, and is subject to the ultimate outcome of negotiations, events and Bankruptcy Court decisions.

Under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, a disclosure statement must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court before the Debtors may solicit acceptance of a proposed plan of reorganization.  To be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the disclosure statement must contain “adequate information” that would enable a hypothetical investor to make an informed judgment about the plan.  Once the disclosure statement is approved, the Debtors may send the proposed plan of reorganization, the disclosure statement and ballots to all creditors entitled to vote.  On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ amended disclosure statement and procedures to enable creditors to vote on the Debtors’ amended joint plan of reorganization (“POR”).  On July 5, 2013, the Debtors commenced solicitation of votes on the POR. 
 
The POR organizes the Debtors’ creditor and equity constituencies into groups called classes. For each class, the POR describes (a) the underlying claim or equity interest, (b) the recovery available to the holders of claims or equity interests in that class under the plan, (c) whether the class is impaired under the plan, meaning that each holder will receive less than full value on account of its claim or equity interest or that the rights of each holder under law will be altered in some way (such as receiving stock instead of holding a claim) and (d) the form of consideration (e.g., cash, stock or a combination thereof), if any, that such holders will receive on account of their respective claims or equity interests under the POR.  There can be no assurance that the Debtors will be able to secure approval for the POR from creditors or confirmation from the Bankruptcy Court.  In the event the Debtors do not secure approval or confirmation of the POR, any outstanding debtor-in-possession credit agreement principal and interest could become immediately due and payable.


 
11

 

The POR provides for, among other things,  the following on the emergence date:

·  
Cancellation of the obligations of the Debtors under the Second Lien Notes indentures, unsecured notes indentures, equity interests, or any other instrument evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of, or ownership interest in, the Debtors or giving rise to any claim or equity interest except as otherwise specifically provided for in the POR;
 
·  
The authorization of 500 million shares of common stock under a reorganized certificate of incorporation;
 
·  
The issuance of 40 million shares of common stock, inclusive of shares to be distributed as a part of the Rights Offerings, for distribution to the unsecured creditors and/or Backstop Parties, plus to the extent applicable, the number of shares of common stock necessary to satisfy payment of the backstop commitment fees and the Retiree Committee administrative claim (“Effective Date Share Issuance”);
 
·  
The issuance to the holders of general unsecured and Retiree Committee unsecured claims net-share settled warrants to purchase: (i) at a $14.93 exercise price, a number of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the Effective Date Share Issuance (the “125% Warrants”) and (ii) at a $16.12 exercise price a number of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the Effective Date Share Issuance (the “135% Warrants”);
 
·  
Establishment of a liquidating trust (the “Kodak GUC Trust”) and distribution of the beneficial interests therein to the holders of allowed general unsecured claims and the Retiree Committee unsecured claim, whether their claims are allowed on or after the emergence date; and
 
·  
If the class of holders of Second Lien Notes votes to accept the POR, the settlement of the allowed amount of the Second Lien claims.
 

The following conditions, and others, shall have been satisfied or waived for the POR to be effective:
 
·  
The POR shall have been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court;
 
·  
The Backstop Commitment Agreement shall be in full force and effect, and the transactions contemplated thereunder shall have been consummated and there shall not be a stay or injunction in effect with respect thereto;
 
·  
The closing of the Emergence Credit Facilities, as defined below, shall have occurred; and
 
·  
The KPP Global Settlement, as defined below, shall have been consummated.

There is a hearing to consider confirmation of the POR scheduled with the Bankruptcy Court on August 20, 2013.

Backstop Commitment Agreement and Rights Offering

On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved a backstop commitment agreement with GSO Capital Partners LP, on behalf of various managed funds, BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of various managed funds, George Karfunkel, United Equities Commodities Company, Momar Corporation and Contrarian Capital Management, LLC, on behalf of Contrarian Funds, LLC (collectively, the “Backstop Parties”), pursuant to which the Backstop Parties, which are creditors of the Debtors, will provide a $406 million commitment to backstop two proposed rights offerings (the “Rights Offerings”) to be conducted in connection with the POR of the Debtors (the “Backstop Commitment Agreement”).
 
In accordance with the POR, the Backstop Commitment Agreement, and the procedures for the conduct of the Rights Offerings (the “Rights Offerings Procedures”), the Company will offer eligible creditors, including the Backstop Parties, up to 34 million shares of common stock for the per share purchase price of $11.94, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $406 million (the “Rights Offerings Amount”).  In addition to their right to participate in the Rights Offerings in their capacities as creditors of the Company, the Backstop Parties will be entitled to purchase an additional 10 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $11.94 per share in the Rights Offerings.  Pursuant to the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Backstop Parties have agreed to purchase all shares of common stock that are not duly subscribed for pursuant to the Rights Offerings.
 
Under the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Backstop Parties, on the effective date of the POR, a commitment fee and a consummation fee equal to 4.0% and 1.0% of the Rights Offerings Amount, respectively.  The commitment fee and the consummation fee will be payable, at the Company’s election, in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock.  The Company will also be required to pay the commitment fee in cash upon the occurrence of certain termination events as set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement.  The Backstop Parties’ commitments to backstop the Rights Offerings, and the other transactions contemplated by the Backstop Commitment Agreement, are conditioned upon the satisfaction of all conditions to the effectiveness of the POR, and other applicable conditions precedent set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement.  The issuance of common stock pursuant to the Rights Offerings and the Backstop Commitment Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, confirmation of the POR by the Bankruptcy Court, and will occur upon the Company’s emergence from chapter 11.

Emergence Credit Facilities
 
On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved Kodak’s entry into commitment and engagement documents in connection with a new exit financing package (the “Emergence Credit Facility”).  The Emergence Credit Facility provides for senior secured term loans of $695 million consisting of $420 million of first lien term loans and $275 million of second lien term loans (the “Term Loans”).  In addition, the Emergence Credit Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) of up to $200 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  The ABL Credit Facility would have a maturity of the earlier of five years or 90 days prior to maturity of term loans or other material indebtedness.  The first-lien term loans would have a maturity of six years from the closing date and the second-lien term loans would have a maturity of seven years from the closing date.

Refer to Note 9, “Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt”.

KPP Global Settlement

Eastman Kodak Company had previously issued (pre-petition) a guarantee to Kodak Limited (the “Subsidiary”) and KPP Trustees Limited (the “Trustee”) of the Kodak Pension Plan in the United Kingdom (the “KPP”).  Under that arrangement, EKC guaranteed to the Subsidiary and the Trustee the ability of the Subsidiary, only to the extent it becomes necessary to do so, to (1) make contributions to the KPP to ensure sufficient assets exist to make plan benefit payments, as they become due, if the KPP otherwise would not have sufficient assets and (2) make contributions to the KPP such that it will achieve fully funded status by the funding valuation for the period ending December 31, 2022.

The Subsidiary agreed to make certain contributions to the KPP as determined by a funding plan agreed to by the Trustee.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Subsidiary is obligated to pay a minimum amount of $50 million to the KPP in each of the years 2011 through 2014, and a minimum amount of $90 million to the KPP in each of the years 2015 through 2022.  The Subsidiary has not paid the annual contributions due for 2012 or 2013 and payment of these amounts could have been demanded at any time.  Future funding beyond 2022 would be required if the KPP is still not fully funded as determined by the funding valuation for the period ending December 31, 2022.  These payment amounts for the years 2015 through 2022 could be lower, and the payment amounts for all years noted could be higher by up to $5 million each year, based on the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and British pound.  These minimum amounts do not include potential contributions related to tax benefits received by the Subsidiary.

The underfunded position of the KPP of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is included in Liabilities held for sale presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The underfunded obligation relates to a non-debtor entity.  However, the Trustee has asserted an unsecured claim of approximately $2.8 billion under the guarantee.  The Subsidiary has also asserted an unsecured claim under the guarantee for an unliquidated amount.

On April 26, 2013, Eastman Kodak Company, the Trustee, Kodak Limited and certain other Kodak entities entered into a global settlement agreement that resolves all liabilities of the Kodak group with respect to the KPP (the “Global Settlement”).  The Global Settlement involves the following key elements:

·  
The Subsidiary will make a cash payment of at least $120 million which will be applied to reduce Kodak Limited’s pension liabilities to the KPP (the “KL Payments”);
 
·  
The extinguishment of the Subsidiary’s remaining obligations to the KPP in connection with a “regulated apportionment arrangement” (the “RAA”) under English law;
 
·  
The acquisition by the KPP of certain assets, and the assumption by the KPP of certain liabilities, of Kodak’s Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses with at least $445 million settled in cash (the “KPP Purchase”) of which no more than $325 million will come from KPP assets, net of the KL Payments, and up to $35 million of which is subject to repayment to KPP if the businesses do not achieve certain adjusted EBITDA targets through December 31, 2018;
 
·  
The approval by the Pension Regulator of the United Kingdom (the “Regulator”) of a clearance application filed by Kodak and its affiliates stating that, after giving effect to the Global Settlement, it would be unreasonable for the Regulator to issue to any of the applicants a “financial support direction” or “contribution notice” with respect to any remaining funding shortfall that may affect the KPP.  Such approval was granted by the Regulator on April 26, 2013; and
 
·  
A release by Kodak, the Trustee, Kodak Limited and other applicable entities with respect to all other liabilities relating to the KPP.
 

 
 
13

 

 
Each of these primary elements of the Global Settlement will be simultaneously effective upon consummation of the KPP Purchase.  Conditions to the KPP Purchase include, among others: (i) Bankruptcy Court approval (obtained on June 20, 2013), (ii) the absence of a “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in the documentation for the KPP Purchase (unless waived by the Trustee), (iii) substantial consummation of Kodak’s plan of reorganization or the provision by Eastman Kodak Company of adequate assurances of performance under the Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee (unless waived by the  Trustee), (iv) customary conditions precedent for negotiated purchases of going concern businesses by arm’s-length parties and (v) the approval of the RAA by the Regulator.  On May 28, 2013, the Regulator issued its approval of the RAA and the Pension Protection Fund issued its final notice of no objection to the RAA.
 
The consummation of the Global Settlement is contingent upon the substantial consummation of the Debtors’ POR, or the provision by Kodak of adequate assurances of performance under the Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
 
DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION CREDIT FACILITIES

Senior Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility

In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, on January 20, 2012, the Company and Kodak Canada Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended on January 25, 2012, March 5, 2012, April 26, 2012, December 19, 2012, and February 6, 2013 (the “Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to lend to the Borrowers an aggregate principal amount of up to $950 million, consisting of up to $250 million super-priority senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities and an up to $700 million super-priority senior secured term loan facility (collectively, the “Loans”).  On March 22, 2013, the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement was amended and restated pursuant to an Amendment Agreement dated as of March 13, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement”).  The Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement terminates and all outstanding obligations must be repaid on the earliest to occur of (i) September 30, 2013, (ii) the date of the substantial consummation of certain reorganization plans, or (iii) certain other events, including Events of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement) and repayment in full of the obligations pursuant to a mandatory prepayment.
 
Junior Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility

On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Loan Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate principal amount of $848 million of term loans.  The term loans consist of first lien term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $473 million (the “New Money Loans”) and junior lien term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $375 million consisting of a dollar-for-dollar “roll-up” (such loans, the “Rolled-Up Loans”)  for a portion of the amounts then outstanding under the Company’s 2019 Senior Secured Notes issued March 15, 2011 and 2018 Senior Secured Notes issued March 5, 2010 (the “Second Lien Notes”).  The Bankruptcy Filing created an event of default under the Second Lien Notes.  Upon entering into the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the Company repaid, in full, the term loan outstanding under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement.
 
The Junior DIP Credit Agreement also contains provisions allowing for a conversion of up to $654 million of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement loans upon emergence from chapter 11 into permanent exit financing with a five year term, provided that Kodak meets certain conditions and milestones, including Bankruptcy Court approval of a plan of reorganization by September 15, 2013 with an effective date of no later than September 30, 2013; repayment of at least $200 million of principal amount of New Money Loans; the resolution of all obligations owing in respect of the Kodak Pension Plan of the United Kingdom on terms reasonably satisfactory to the “Required Lead Lenders” (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement); there shall have been an additional prepayment of loans in an amount equal to 75% of U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) above $200 million; and receiving at least $600 million in cash proceeds through the disposition of certain specified assets that are not part of the commercial imaging business, including any combination of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses and trademarks and related rights provided that consent of the Required Lead Lenders would be necessary to exclude the assets of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses from the disposition.

Refer to Note 9, “Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt”.

PRE-PETITION CLAIMS

On April 18, 2012, as amended on May 16, 2012 and February 1, 2013, the Debtors filed schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs with the Bankruptcy Court.  On May 10, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order establishing July 17, 2012 as the bar date for potential creditors to file proofs of claims and established the required procedures with respect to filing such claims.  A bar date is the date by which pre-petition claims against the Debtors must be filed if the claimants wish to receive any distribution in the chapter 11 proceedings.

As of July 25, 2013 the Debtors have received approximately 6,200 proofs of claim, a portion of which assert, in part or in whole, un-liquidated claims.  In the aggregate, total liquidated proofs of claim of approximately $22.5 billion have been filed against the Debtors.  New and amended claims may be filed in the future, including claims amended to assign values to claims originally filed with no designated value.  The Debtors are continuing to reconcile such claims to the amounts listed by the Debtors in their schedule of assets and liabilities (as amended).  Differences in liability amounts estimated by the Debtors and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and resolved, including through the filing of objections with the Bankruptcy Court, where appropriate.  Approximately 1,700 claims totaling approximately $1.2 billion have been expunged or withdrawn and the Debtors have filed additional claim objections with the Bankruptcy Court for approximately 100 claims totaling approximately $90 million in additional reductions.  The Debtors may continue to ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow claims that the Debtors believe are duplicative, have been later amended or superseded, are without merit, are overstated or should be disallowed for other reasons.  In addition, as a result of this process, the Debtors may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise.  In light of the substantial number of claims filed, the claims resolution process may continue to take considerable time to complete. The resolution of such claims could result in material adjustments to Kodak’s financial statements. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be treated cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves a plan of reorganization.  Accordingly, the ultimate amount or treatment of such liabilities is not determinable at this time.

Distribution of property pursuant to the POR would be made on an initial distribution date for each claim that is allowed on or prior to emergence from chapter 11.  If the class of holders of Second Lien Notes votes to accept the POR, and the POR is confirmed, such holders would receive distributions on the emergence date.  Reorganized Kodak would, in consultation with the Kodak GUC Trustee identify periodic dates for subsequent distributions.  Distributions for claims that are allowed after emergence from chapter 11 would be made on the first subsequent distribution date after such claims are allowed.  Excess property, initially reserved for disputed claims, would be distributed to holders of allowed general unsecured claims on a pro rata basis.

FINANCIAL REPORTING IN REORGANIZATION

Expenses, gains and losses directly associated with reorganization proceedings are reported as Reorganization items, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.  In addition, Liabilities subject to compromise in the chapter 11 proceedings are distinguished from liabilities of Non-Filing Entities, fully-secured liabilities not expected to be compromised and from post-petition liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Where there is uncertainty about whether a secured claim will be paid or impaired under the chapter 11 proceedings, Kodak has classified the entire amount of the claim as a liability subject to compromise.  The amount of liabilities subject to compromise represents Kodak’s estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of known or potential pre-petition claims to be addressed in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings.  Such liabilities are reported at Kodak’s current estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of the allowed claim amounts, even though the claims may be settled for lesser amounts.  These claims remain subject to future adjustments, which may result from: negotiations; actions of the Bankruptcy Court; disputed claims; rejection of contracts and unexpired leases; the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims; proofs of claims; or other events.

Effective as of January 19, 2012, Kodak ceased recording interest expense on outstanding pre-petition debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise.  Contractual interest expense represents amounts due under the contractual terms of outstanding debt, including debt subject to compromise.  Contractual interest expense related to Liabilities subject to compromise of approximately $24 million and $22 million for the periods from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 and January 19, 2012 through June 30, 2012, respectively, has not been recorded, as it is not expected to be an allowed claim under the chapter 11 case.

SECTION 363 ASSET SALES

On February 1, 2013, Kodak entered into a series of agreements related to the monetization of certain of its intellectual property assets, including the sale of its digital imaging patents.  Under these agreements, Kodak received approximately $530 million, a portion of which was paid by twelve licensees that received a license to the digital imaging patent portfolio and other patents owned by Kodak. Another portion was paid by Intellectual Ventures Fund 83 LLC (“Intellectual Ventures”) and Apple, Inc., each of which acquired a portion of the digital imaging patent portfolio, subject to the licenses granted to the twelve new licensees, and previously existing licenses.  In addition, Kodak retained a license to the digital imaging patents for its own use.  In connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a separate agreement with FUJIFILM Corporation (“Fuji”) whereby, among other things, Fuji granted Kodak the right to sub-license certain Fuji Patents to businesses Kodak intends to sell as part of the Company’s emergence efforts.  The Debtors also agreed to allow Fuji a general unsecured pre-petition claim against the Debtors in the amount of $70 million.

EASTMAN BUSINESS PARK SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

On June 17, 2013 the Company, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Urban Development Corporation, d/b/a Empire State Development entered into an agreement which, in part, establishes a $49 million environmental trust for Eastman Business Park (the “EBP Settlement Agreement”).  The agreement was subsequently amended on August 6, 2013 (the "Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement").
 
The Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement includes a settlement of Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park (“EBP”) through the establishment of an environmental remediation trust (the “EBP Trust”).  If the Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, (i) the EBP Trust will be responsible for investigation and remediation at EBP arising from Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities in existence prior to the effective date of the EBP Settlement, (ii) Kodak will fund the EBP Trust with a $49 million payment and transfer to the EBP Trust Kodak’s interests in personal property, equipment and fixtures used for performing any environmental response actions at EBP, and (iii) in the event the historical liabilities exceed $99 million, Kodak will become liable for 50% of the portion above $99 million.
 
The transaction is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and resolution of issues raised by the United States Department of Justice on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to effectiveness set forth in the Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement.

RETIREES’ SETTLEMENT

The Debtors’ estimated allowed claims for pre-petition obligations for the Kodak Excess Retirement Income Plan (the “KERIP”), the Kodak Unfunded Retirement Income Plan (the “KURIP”), the Kodak Company Global Pension Plan for International Employees, and individual letter agreements with certain current and former employees that provided for supplemental non-qualified pension benefits are reported as Liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

On April 30, 2013, EKRA Ltd. and certain holders of KERIP/KURIP Claims (together with the Debtors, the “Settlement Parties”) filed a motion (the “Motion”) requesting that the Bankruptcy Court appoint a committee pursuant to section 1102(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, to represent the interests of the holders of the KERIP/KURIP Claims, and asserting that they and certain other holders of the KERIP/KURIP claims disagree with the underlying discount rates and mortality tables used by the Debtors to calculate the KERIP/KURIP Claims.  Subsequent to the filing of the Motion, the Settlement Parties entered into a stipulation (the “Stipulation”) approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, which became effective on July 18, 2013, for a total allowed claim of $244 million.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013 a provision for expected allowed claims of approximately $27 million was reflected in Reorganization Items, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations related to what was ultimately agreed to in the Stipulation.

$650 million related to the settlement agreement reached with the Retiree Committee and $244 million related to the non-qualified pension benefit Stipulation agreement.  Refer to Note 14, “Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits” for additional information regarding the decrease in Pension and other postemployment obligations which is primarily related to the second quarter of 2013 remeasurement of the U.S. noncontributory defined benefit plan, the Kodak Retirement Income Plan.  Other liabilities subject to compromise include accrued liabilities for customer programs, deferred compensation, taxes, and contract and lease rejections.

The amount of Liabilities subject to compromise represents the Debtors’ estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of known or potential pre-petition claims to be addressed in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings.  Such liabilities are reported at the Debtors’ current estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of the allowed claim amount, even though they may settle for lesser amounts.  These claims remain subject to future adjustments, which may result from: negotiations; actions of the Bankruptcy Court; disputed claims; rejection of contracts and unexpired leases; the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims; proofs of claims; or other events.  Refer to Note 2, "Bankruptcy Proceedings" for additional information.

DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION CREDIT FACILITIES

Senior Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility

In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, on January 20, 2012, the Company and Kodak Canada Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended on January 25, 2012, March 5, 2012, April 26, 2012, December 19, 2012, and February 6, 2013 (the “Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement”), with the U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Canadian Borrower signatory thereto, the lenders signatory thereto (the “Lenders”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole lead arranger and book-runner, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as syndication agent, administration agent and co-collateral agent.  Pursuant to the terms of the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to lend in an aggregate principal amount of up to $950 million, consisting of up to $250 million super-priority senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities and an up to $700 million super-priority senior secured term loan facility.  On March 22, 2013, the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement was amended and restated, pursuant to an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) dated as of March 13, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement”).

The Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement reflected the pay-down in full of all term loans that were outstanding under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement as of March 22, 2013, in the amount of $222 million.  Previously, on February 1, 2013, Kodak entered into a series of agreements under which it received approximately $530 million of proceeds, net of withholding taxes, a portion of which was paid by intellectual property licensees and a portion of which was paid by the acquirers of Kodak’s digital imaging patent portfolio.  Approximately $419 million of the proceeds were used to prepay the term loan under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement.  The Company paid the remaining outstanding term loan balance, in full, upon entering into the Junior DIP Credit Agreement described below.  Kodak recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of the term loan of approximately $6 million in the first quarter of 2013.   The Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement also reflected certain other changes to the terms of the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement, including (i) the extension of the maturity date from July 20, 2013 to September 30, 2013, (ii) the elimination of the Canadian revolving facility, which was not being used by the Company, the removal of the Canadian Borrower from the facility, and the reduction of the aggregate amount of the U.S. revolving credit commitments from $225 million to $200 million, (iii) removal of machinery and equipment from the borrowing base of the revolving facility, and (iv) revision of the existing financial covenants and modification of other covenants to match the terms of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.
 
The Company and each existing and future direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than indirect U.S. subsidiaries held through foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries (if any)) have agreed to provide unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement.  Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the Company has the option to have interest on the loans provided thereunder accrue at a base rate or the then applicable LIBOR Rate (subject to certain adjustments), plus a margin of 2.25% for a base rate revolving loan or 3.25% for a LIBOR rate revolving loan.

 
19

 
 
The Company must prepay the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and cash-collateralize outstanding letters of credit with all net cash proceeds from sales of or casualty events relating to certain types of collateral consisting of accounts or inventory (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement).  The Company has issued approximately $128 million of letters of credit under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013.  Under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement borrowing base calculation, the Company had approximately $21 million available under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013.  Availability is subject to borrowing base availability, reserves and other limitations.

Junior Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility

On March 22, 2013, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Loan Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) with the lenders signatory thereto (the “Lenders”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided the Company with term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $848 million consisting of approximately $473 million of new money term loans (the “New Money Loans”), comprised of approximately $455 million original principal and $18 million of additional paid-in-kind of fees, and $375 million of junior term loans (the “Junior Loans”). Upon issuance of the New Money Loans, Kodak received net proceeds of $450 million ($455 million original principal less $5 million stated discount).  The Junior Loans were issued in exchange for the same principal amount of Second Lien Notes pursuant to an offer by the Company to holders of the outstanding Second Lien Notes.  The Bankruptcy Filing created an event of default under the Second Lien Notes.  The maturity date of the loans made under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement is the earliest to occur of (i) September 30, 2013, (ii) the effective date of the Company’s plan of reorganization and (iii) the acceleration of such loans.
  
The New Money Loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 10.5% per annum, with a LIBOR floor of 100 basis points.  The Junior Loans consist of a tranche in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $127 million bearing interest at a rate of 10.625% per annum and a tranche in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $248 million bearing interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum.  Each existing and future direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than indirect U.S. subsidiaries held through foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries (if any)) have agreed to provide unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the Company under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.  Subject to certain exceptions, obligations under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement are secured by first, second and third priority liens on all the collateral securing obligations under the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and 65% of the equity interests of certain material “first-tier” foreign subsidiaries of the Company.  The Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the Amendment Agreement, and the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement were approved by the Bankruptcy Court in orders issued on January 24, 2013 and March 8, 2013.

The Company must prepay the Junior DIP Credit Agreement with 100% of net cash proceeds from casualty events.  For asset sales other than the Specified Sale (as defined below), the Company must make prepayments as follows:  (i) 80% of net cash proceeds up to $20 million and (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds greater than $20 million.  In addition, with respect to the Specified Sale, prepayments are required as follows: (i) 100% of net cash proceeds up to $200 million; (ii) 0% of net cash proceeds in excess of $200 million but less than or equal to $600 million; and (iii) 75% of net cash proceeds in excess of $600 million.

The Company has the ability to convert the Junior DIP Credit Agreement into an up to $654 million exit facility with an additional five-year term provided that Kodak meets certain conditions and milestones, including Bankruptcy Court approval of the plan of reorganization by September 15, 2013, with an effective date no later than September 30, 2013; repayment of at least $200 million of principal amount of New Money Loans; and receipt of at least $600 million in cash proceeds through the disposition of certain specified assets, including any combination of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses and trademarks and related rights (the “Specified Sale”) provided that consent of the Required Lead Lenders (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) would be necessary to exclude the assets of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses from the disposition; the resolution of all obligations owing in respect of the KPP on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders; and there shall have been an additional prepayment of loans in an amount equal to 75% of U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) above $200 million.

Certain Terms of Senior Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility and Junior Debtor-in-Possession Credit Facility

The Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement limit, among other things, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) prepay subordinated indebtedness and make other restricted payments, (v) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (vi) modify the terms of any organizational documents and certain material contracts of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.  In addition to standard obligations, these agreements provide for specific milestones that the Company must achieve by specific target dates, including: (a) delivering a comprehensive draft of a plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement to the advisors to the Required Lead Lenders by no later than April 8, 2013; (b) filing a plan of reorganization and the disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court by no later than April 30, 2013; (c) entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders, approving the disclosure statement, by no later than June 30, 2013; and (d) entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders, approving a plan of reorganization by no later than September 15, 2013.  The first three of these milestones have been met.  Under these agreements, the Company is required to maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity of $100 million and minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Commercial Imaging Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the agreements) at specified levels ranging from approximately $35 million to approximately $171 million and approximately $58 million to approximately $202 million, respectively.  Kodak was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013.

EMERGENCE CREDIT FACILITIES

On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved Kodak’s entry into commitment and engagement documents in connection with a new exit financing package (the “Emergence Credit Facility”).  The Emergence Credit Facility provides for senior secured term loans of $695 million consisting of $420 million of first lien term loans and $275 million of second lien term loans (the “Term Loans”).  In addition, the Emergence Credit Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) of $200 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  The ABL Credit Facility would have a maturity of the earlier of five years or 90 days prior to maturity of the Term Loans or other material indebtedness.  The first-lien term loans would have a maturity of six years from the closing date and the second-lien term loans would have a maturity of seven years from the closing date.

The syndication and allocation of the Term Loans was completed on August 1, 2013 and, subject to certain conditions precedent as defined in each credit agreement, will close and become effective on the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The first lien term loans will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.25%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor , were issued at 98% Original Issue Discount (“OID”) and provide call premiums of 102 and 101 in years one and two, respectively. The second lien term loans will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 9.50%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%, were issued at 97.5% OID and provide call protection of no call in year one, and call premiums of 103 and 101 in years two and  three, respectively. As defined in the respective credit agreements, there are customary mandatory prepayment requirements; financial, negative and affirmative covenants, events of default and conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Term Loans.  These include a minimum U.S. liquidity requirement of $75 million through December 31, 2014 and thereafter Kodak would be required to meet secured net leverage ratios that step down over time.

If the Company does not close on the Term Loans by September 15, 2013 it will be required to pay a ticking fee equal to 50% of the applicable margin over LIBOR, (which is 50% of the 6.25% for the first lien term loans and 9.50% for the second lien term loans as noted above), for each term loan. This ticking fee increases to the full applicable margin over LIBOR starting day 91 through day150 from the allocation date and to the full interest rate (including the LIBOR component and the applicable margin) thereafter.

The syndication and allocation of the $200 million ABL Credit Facility was completed on August 6, 2013 and will close and become effective on the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy, subject to certain conditions precedent as defined in the ABL Credit Facility agreement. The ABL Credit Facility contains a sub-facility of up to $150 million to support the Company’s issuance of letters of credit. The initial interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.00% and may vary between LIBOR plus 2.75% and 3.25% depending on the usage under the facility. The annual undrawn fee is 0.50%. The ABL Credit Facility borrowing base is comprised of 85% of eligible receivables; plus the lesser of 75% of the cost of eligible inventory and 85% of the appraised Net Orderly Liquidation Value (“NOLV”) of eligible inventory; plus the lesser of $25 million and 75% of the appraised NOLV of eligible equipment, which amount will amortize down over the life of the facility. The ABL Credit Facility is subject to a $20 million availability blocker and various other customary reserves. The ABL Credit Facility contains a springing Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.0 times and cash dominion requirement if excess availability, as defined in the facility agreement, is less than 15%. The ABL Credit Facility contains customary negative and affirmative covenants, mandatory prepayments, events of default and conditions precedent. 
 
As noted above the Company expects to close on these Emergence Credit Facility Term Loans upon emergence from chapter 11 and therefore would not need to convert the Junior DIP Credit Agreement notes into the exit facility notes provided for under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.

SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2019

On March 15, 2011, the Company issued $250 million of aggregate principal amount of 10.625% senior secured notes due March 15, 2019 (“2019 Senior Secured Notes”).  Terms of the notes require interest at an annual rate of 10.625% of the principal amount at issuance, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2011.

Upon issuance of the 2019 Senior Secured Notes, the Company received proceeds of approximately $247 million ($250 million aggregate principal less $3 million stated discount).  The proceeds were used to repurchase $50 million of the 7.25% senior notes due 2013 with the remaining amount being used for other general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Senior Secured Notes, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an indenture, dated as of March 15, 2011, with Bank of New York Mellon as trustee and second lien collateral agent (“Indenture”).  Wilmington Trust, National Association replaced and succeeded Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee and second-lien collateral agent on January 26, 2012.

The 2019 Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (“Guarantees”) on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.  The 2019 Senior Secured Notes and Guarantees are secured by second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and substantially all of the domestic assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to a supplement, dated March 15, 2011, to the security agreement, dated March 5, 2010, entered into with Bank of New York Mellon as second lien collateral agent.  The carrying value of the assets pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $730 million.

The 2019 Senior Secured Notes are the Company’s senior secured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness; rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness; are effectively senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness, are effectively subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness under the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness on a first- or second-priority basis, and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness on a first- or second-priority basis; and effectively are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default under the 2019 Senior Secured Notes.  The creditors are, however, stayed from taking any action as a result of the default under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.  See Junior DIP Credit Facility and Second Lien Note Holders Agreement for discussion of the conversion of $375 million of Second Lien Notes into Junior Loans under the Junior DIP Credit Facility.

SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2018

On March 5, 2010, the Company issued $500 million of aggregate principal amount of 9.75% senior secured notes due March 1, 2018 (the “2018 Senior Secured Notes”).  Terms of the Notes require interest at an annual rate of 9.75% of the principal amount at issuance, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2010.

Upon issuance of the 2018 Senior Secured Notes, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $490 million ($500 million aggregate principal less $10 million stated discount).  The proceeds were used to repurchase all of the Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and to fund the tender of $200 million of the 7.25% Senior Notes due 2013.

In connection with the 2018 Senior Secured Notes, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an indenture, dated as of March 5, 2010, with Bank of New York Mellon as trustee and collateral agent (the “Indenture”).  Wilmington Trust, National Association replaced and succeeded Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee and second-lien collateral agent on January 26, 2012.

 
22

 

The 2018 Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.  The 2018 Senior Secured Notes and Guarantees are secured by second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and substantially all of the domestic assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to a security agreement entered into with Bank of New York Mellon as second lien collateral agent on March 5, 2010.  The carrying value of the assets pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $730 million.

The 2018 Senior Secured Notes are the Company’s senior secured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness; rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness; are effectively senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness, are effectively subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness under the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness on a first- or second-priority basis, and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to indebtedness under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness on a first- or second-priority basis; and effectively are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default under the 2018 Senior Secured Notes.  The creditors are, however, stayed from taking any action as a result of the default under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.  See Junior DIP Credit Facility and Second Lien Note Holders Agreement for discussion of the conversion of $375 million of Second Lien Notes into Junior Loans under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.

On February 14, 2012, the Company reached an adequate protection agreement with a group representing at least 50.1% of the Second Lien Note Holders which was reflected in the final Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement order (the “Final DIP Order”).  The Company agreed, among other things, to provide all Second Lien Note Holders with a portion of the proceeds received from certain sales and settlements in respect of the Company’s digital imaging patent portfolio subject to the following waterfall and the Company’s right to retain a percentage of certain proceeds under the  Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement: first, to repay any outstanding obligations under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement, including cash collateralizing letters of credit (unless certain parties otherwise agree); second, to pay 50% of accrued second lien interest at the non-default rate; third, to retain $250 million; fourth, to repay the remaining accrued and unpaid second lien interest at the non-default rate; fifth, any remaining proceeds after conditions one through four up to $2,250 million to be split 60% to the Company and 40% to repay outstanding second lien debt at par; and sixth, the Company agreed that any proceeds above $2,250 million will be split 50% to the Company and 50% to Second Lien Note Holders until second lien debt is fully paid.  The Company also agreed to pay current interest to Second Lien Note Holders upon the receipt of $250 million noted above.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company also agreed to pay reasonable fees of certain advisors to the Second Lien Note Holders.  On February 1, 2013, the Company received approximately $530 million in net proceeds from the sale and other settlements related to the digital imaging patent portfolio and therefore no payments were made to the Second Lien Note Holders.

In connection with the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, holders of the Company’s Second Lien Notes are entitled to receive accrued non-default interest on the Second Lien Notes.  Second Lien Notes outstanding after the Bankruptcy Court approval of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement are entitled to receive as additional adequate protection (i) replacement liens on Junior DIP collateral that are junior to the liens securing the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, (ii) guarantees from all entities that guarantee the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement that are subordinate to the Guarantee in respect of the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, and (iii) administrative claims as provided for in section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, junior to the super-priority administrative expense claims that would be granted to the Lenders under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement (in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent of any diminution of the value of the applicable pre-petition collateral from and after January 19, 2012).  The Second Lien Notes are considered fully-secured and have not been reported as Liabilities subject to compromise.

DEBT SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE

The Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default with respect to certain of the Debtors’ unsecured debt obligations.  As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the principal and interest due under these debt instruments was deemed immediately due and payable.  However, the creditors are stayed from taking any action as a result of the default under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the difference between the Company’s recorded benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (2) a provision associated with withholding taxes on foreign dividends paid, (3) a benefit associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings, and (4) a provision associated with the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance outside the U.S.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would not be realized and accordingly, recorded a tax provision of $45 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the difference between the Company’s recorded benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (2) a provision associated with withholding taxes on the sale of intellectual property, (3) a benefit associated with the tax impact of the goodwill impairment recognized during the quarter (4) a provision associated with withholding taxes on foreign dividends paid, (5) a benefit associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings, (6) a provision associated with the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance outside the U.S., and (7) changes in audit reserves.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the difference between the Company’s recorded benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (2) tax accounting impacts related to items reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and (3) a provision associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

In March 2011, Kodak filed a Request for Competent Authority Assistance with the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).  The request related to a potential double taxation issue with respect to certain patent licensing royalty payments received by Kodak in 2012 and 2011.  In the six months ended June 30, 2012, Kodak received notification that the IRS had reached agreement with the Korean National Tax Service (“NTS”) with regards to Kodak’s March 2011 request.  As a result of the agreement reached by the IRS and NTS, Kodak was due a partial refund of Korean withholding taxes in the amount of $123 million.  Kodak had previously agreed with the licensees that made the royalty payments that any refunds of the related Korean withholding taxes would be shared equally between Kodak and the licensees.  The licensees’ share ($61 million) of the Korean withholding tax refund has therefore been reported as a licensing revenue reduction in Licensing & royalties in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the difference between the Company’s recorded benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) losses generated within the U.S. and certain jurisdictions outside the U.S. for which no benefit was recognized due to management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (2) a benefit as a result of the Company reaching a settlement of the competent authority claim noted above, (3) tax accounting impacts related to items reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and (4) a provision associated with the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance outside the U.S., (5) a provision associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and (6) changes in audit reserves.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets outside the U.S. would not be realized and accordingly, recorded a tax provision of $16 million associated with the establishment of a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets.

NOTE 11:  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental

Kodak’s undiscounted accrued liabilities for future environmental investigation, remediation, and monitoring costs are composed of the following items:
   
As of
 
(in millions)
 
June 30,
   
December 31,
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
             
Eastman Business Park site, Rochester, NY
  $ 49     $ 49  
Other current operating sites
    16       9  
Sites associated with former operations
    20       17  
Sites associated with the non-imaging health businesses sold in 1994
    40       41  
           Total
  $ 125     $ 116  
                 

These amounts are reported in Other long-term liabilities and Liabilities subject to compromise in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Cash expenditures for the aforementioned investigation, remediation and monitoring activities are expected to be incurred over the next thirty years for most of the sites.  For these known environmental liabilities, the accrual reflects Kodak’s best estimate of the amount it will incur under the agreed-upon or proposed work plans.  Kodak’s cost estimates were determined using the ASTM Standard E 2137-06, "Standard Guide for Estimating Monetary Costs and Liabilities for Environmental Matters," and have not been reduced by possible recoveries from third parties.  The overall method includes the use of a probabilistic model which forecasts a range of cost estimates and a single most probable cost estimate for the remediation required at individual sites.  For the purposes of establishing company-level environmental reserves, the single most probable cost estimate for each site is used.  All projects are closely monitored and the models are reviewed as significant events occur or at least once per year.  Kodak’s estimate includes investigations, equipment and operating costs for remediation and long-term monitoring of the sites.  Accrued liabilities of Debtor entities related to sites subject to the bankruptcy proceedings have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise.  Liabilities subject to compromise are reported at Kodak’s current estimate, where an estimate is determinable, of the allowed claim amount.

On June 17, 2013 the Company, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Urban Development Corporation, d/b/a Empire State Development entered into an agreement, which, in part establishes a $49 million environmental trust for Eastman Business Park (the “EBP Settlement Agreement”).  The agreement was subsequently amended on August 6, 2013 (the "Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement"). 
 
The Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement includes a settlement of Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park ("EBP") through the establishment of an environmental remediation trust (the “EBP Trust”).  If the EBP Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, (i) the EBP Trust will be responsible for investigation and remediation at EBP arising from Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities in existence prior to the effective date of the EBP Settlement, (ii) Kodak will fund the EBP Trust with a $49 million payment and transfer to the EBP Trust Kodak’s interests in personal property, equipment and fixtures used for performing any environmental response actions at EBP, and (iii) in the event the historical liabilities exceed $99 million, Kodak will become liable for 50% of the portion above $99 million.  As of June 30, 2013, approximately $23 million was already held in a separate trust to support those environmental liabilities related to EBP.  The transaction is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and resolution of issues raised by the United States Department of Justice on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as well as satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to effectiveness set forth in the EBP Settlement Agreement.

Kodak is presently designated as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the Superfund Law), or under similar state laws, for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of Kodak’s alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at eight Superfund sites.  In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, the Debtors have provided withdrawal notifications or entered into settlement negotiations with involved regulatory agencies.
 
In addition, the Company provided an indemnity as part of the 1994 sale of Sterling Corporation (now “STWB”) which covered a number of environmental sites including the Lower Passaic River Study Area (“LPRSA”) portion of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site. STWB, now owned by Bayer Corporation, is Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at the site based on alleged releases from facilities formerly owned by subsidiaries of Sterling, a former Hilton Davis site in Newark and a Lehn & Fink facility in Bloomfield, New Jersey.  On February 10, 2004, the Company (through its subsidiary NPEC) joined the Cooperating Parties Group (“CPG”) and entered into a 122(h) Agreement under CERCLA on June 22, 2004, and a Consent Order with the EPA on May 8, 2007.   On February 29, 2012, the Company notified the EPA, STWB, Bayer, and the CPG that under the bankruptcy proceeding, it has elected to discontinue funding and participation in the remedial investigation being implemented by the CPG pursuant to the EPA Order.  STWB and its parent, Bayer, have filed proofs of claim against the Debtors in the chapter 11 cases.
 
Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are by their nature imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of presently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the PRPs.  Based on information presently available, Kodak does not believe it is reasonably possible that losses for known exposures could exceed current accruals by material amounts, although costs could be material to a particular quarter or year.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $128 million issued under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, as well as bank guarantees and letters of credit of $11 million, surety bonds in the amount of $25 million, and cash and investments in trust of $33 million, primarily to ensure the payment of possible casualty and workers’ compensation claims, environmental liabilities at EBP as noted above, legal contingencies, rental payments, and to support various customs, tax and trade activities.  The restricted cash and investment in trust amounts are recorded within Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Kodak’s Brazilian operations are involved in governmental assessments of indirect and other taxes in various stages of litigation, primarily related to federal and state value-added taxes.  Kodak is disputing these matters and intends to vigorously defend its position.  Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves already recorded for those matters deemed probable of loss, management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact Kodak’s results of operations or financial position.  Kodak routinely assesses all these matters as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability in its Brazilian operations and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.  As of June 30, 2013, the unreserved portion of these contingencies, inclusive of any related interest and penalties, for which there was at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, amounted to approximately $62 million.
 
Kodak is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, customs, employment, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business.  Kodak is also subject to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of Kodak’s products.  These matters are in various stages of investigation and litigation, and are being vigorously defended.  Much of the pending litigation against the Debtors has been stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Filing and will be subject to resolution in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  Although Kodak does not expect that the outcome in any of these matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable.  Therefore, judgments could be rendered or settlements entered, that could adversely affect Kodak’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.  Kodak routinely assesses all of its litigation and threatened litigation as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability, and records its best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where it assesses the likelihood of loss as probable.

NOTE 12:  GUARANTEES

Kodak guarantees debt and other obligations of certain customers.  The debt and other obligations are primarily due to banks and leasing companies in connection with financing of customers’ purchases of equipment and product from Kodak.  At June 30, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that Kodak could be required to make under these customer-related guarantees was $34 million.  At June 30, 2013, the carrying amount of any liability related to these customer guarantees was not material.

The customer financing agreements and related guarantees, which mature on varying dates through 2018, typically have a term of 90 days for product and short-term equipment financing arrangements, and up to five years for long-term equipment financing arrangements.  These guarantees would require payment from Kodak only in the event of default on payment by the respective debtor.  In some cases, particularly for guarantees related to equipment financing, Kodak has collateral or recourse provisions to recover and sell the equipment to reduce any losses that might be incurred in connection with the guarantees.  However, any proceeds received from the liquidation of these assets would not cover the maximum potential loss under these guarantees.

EKC also guarantees potential indebtedness to banks and other third parties for some of its consolidated subsidiaries.  The maximum amount guaranteed is $96 million, and the outstanding amount for those guarantees is $80 million with $40 million recorded within the Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt, and Long-term debt, net of current portion in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  The remaining $40 million of outstanding guarantees represent parent guarantees providing assurance to third parties that the Company’s subsidiaries will fulfill their future performance or financial obligations under various contracts, which do not necessarily have corresponding liabilities reported in Kodak’s financial statements.  These guarantees expire in 2013 through 2019.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and Junior DIP Credit Agreement, obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders, as well as secured agreements under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, are guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and included in the above amounts.  Secured agreements under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement for the Debtors totaled $20 million as of June 30, 2013.

Warranty Costs

Kodak has warranty obligations in connection with the sale of its products and equipment.  The original warranty period is generally one year or less.  The costs incurred to provide for these warranty obligations are estimated and recorded as an accrued liability at the time of sale.  Kodak estimates its warranty cost at the point of sale for a given product based on historical failure rates and related costs to repair.

The change in Kodak's accrued warranty obligations balance, which is reflected in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:
 
(in millions)

Accrued warranty obligations as of December 31, 2012
  $ 29  
Actual warranty experience during 2013
    (19 )
2013 warranty provisions
    10  
Accrued warranty obligations as of June 30, 2013
  $ 20  


Kodak also offers its customers extended warranty arrangements that are generally one year, but may range from three months to three years after the original warranty period.  Kodak provides repair services and routine maintenance under these arrangements.  Kodak has not separated the extended warranty revenues and costs from the routine maintenance service revenues and costs, as it is not practicable to do so.  Therefore, these revenues and costs have been aggregated in the discussion that follows.  Costs incurred under these arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $79 million.  The change in Kodak's deferred revenue balance in relation to these extended warranty and maintenance arrangements from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013, which is reflected in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, was as follows:

(in millions)

Deferred revenue on extended warranties as of December 31, 2012
  $ 38  
New extended warranty and maintenance arrangements in 2013
    89  
Recognition of extended warranty and maintenance arrangement revenue in 2013

Deferred revenue on extended warranties as of June 30, 2013

NOTE 13:  RESTRUCTURING LIABILITIES

Charges for restructuring activities are recorded in the period in which Kodak commits to a formalized restructuring plan, or executes the specific actions contemplated by the plan, and all criteria for liability recognition under the applicable accounting guidance have been met.  Restructuring actions taken in the first six months of 2013 were initiated to reduce Kodak’s cost structure as part of its commitment to drive sustainable profitability.  Year to date actions included traditional product manufacturing capacity reductions in the U.S. and the U.K., the continued wind down of the consumer inkjet printer business, a workforce reduction in France, and various targeted reductions in service, sales, and other administrative functions.

Restructuring Reserve Activity

The activity in the accrued balances and the non-cash charges and credits incurred in relation to restructuring activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:

The $(6) million includes $(5) million for amounts reclassified as Liabilities subject to compromise, and $(1) million of foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
(2)  
The $(5) million represents severance-related charges for pension plan curtailments, which are reflected in Pension and other postretirement liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the $34 million of charges include $3 million for accelerated depreciation and $1 million for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales, and $1 million which was reported as Discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The remaining costs incurred of $29 million were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

The second quarter 2013 severance costs related to the elimination of approximately 325 positions, including approximately 200 manufacturing/service positions, 100 administrative positions, and 25 research and development positions.  The geographic composition of these positions includes approximately 200 in the United States and Canada, and 125 throughout the rest of the world.

The charges of $34 million recorded in the second quarter of 2013 included $16 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment and $17 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.  The remaining $1 million was applicable to discontinued operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the $48 million of charges include $4 million for accelerated depreciation and $2 million for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales, and $2 million which was reported as Discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The remaining costs incurred of $40 million were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

 
28

 


The severance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to the elimination of approximately 550 positions, including approximately 350 manufacturing/service positions, 175 administrative positions, and 25 research and development positions.  The geographic composition of these positions includes approximately 300 in the United States and Canada, and 250 throughout the rest of the world.

The charges of $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $5 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, $21 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, and $20 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across all segments.  The remaining $2 million was applicable to discontinued operations.
 
 
As a result of these initiatives, the majority of the severance will be paid during periods through the end of 2013.  However, in some instances, the employees whose positions were eliminated can elect or are required to receive their payments over an extended period of time.  In addition, certain exit costs, such as long-term lease payments, will be paid over periods throughout 2013 and beyond.

The Pension expense before special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements reported above for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 includes $14 million and $29 million, respectively, which was reported as Discontinued operations.  The Pension expense before special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements reported above for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 includes $15 million and $30 million, respectively, which was reported as Discontinued operations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the $2 million and $56 million, respectively, of special termination benefits charges were incurred as a result of Kodak’s restructuring actions.  These charges have been included in Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $5 million of curtailment losses were incurred as a result of Kodak’s restructuring actions, and have been included in Restructuring costs and other in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The remaining curtailment losses of $9 million
were incurred as a result of the planned divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of Kodak’s Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses to the KPP, and have been included in Discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) totaling approximately $19 million relating to its major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The Company forecasts its contribution (funded plans) and benefit payment (unfunded plans) requirements for its major U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans for the balance of 2013 to be approximately $18 million, exclusive of any payments to be determined through the Bankruptcy Proceedings for the U.S. non-qualified pension plans, as well as any payments to be made to the KPP as a part of the Global Settlement agreement reached with the Trustee of the KPP.

Postretirement benefit costs for the Company's U.S. and Canada postretirement benefit plans, which represent the Company's major postretirement plans, include:

Kodak paid benefits, net of participant contributions, totaling approximately $2 million relating to its U.S. and Canada postretirement benefit plans for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Kodak expects to pay benefits, net of participant contributions, of approximately $6 million for these postretirement plans for the remainder of 2013.

The change in net postretirement benefit expense from the six months ended June 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2013 is primarily the result of modification, in 2012, of benefits provided by the U.S. postretirement benefit plan.

Curtailment events in the second quarter of 2013 resulted in the required remeasurement of certain of the plans’ obligations during the quarter, which decreased the retirement and other postretirement benefit plan obligation by $372 million.

NOTE 16:  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share computations are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 272.8 million and 272.7 million, respectively.

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations presented for the three months ended June 30, 2013, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.
 
If Kodak had reported earnings from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, no additional shares of Kodak’s common stock from unvested share-based awards would have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since they were all anti-dilutive.  Potential shares of Kodak’s common stock related to the assumed conversion of (1) approximately 7.6 million outstanding employee stock options, (2) approximately 40.0 million outstanding detachable warrants to purchase common shares, and (3) approximately $400 million of convertible senior notes due 2017 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these securities were anti-dilutive.

Kodak reported earnings from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  However, no additional shares of Kodak’s common stock from unvested share-based awards would have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since they were all anti-dilutive.  Potential shares of Kodak’s common stock related to the assumed conversion of (1) approximately 7.6 million outstanding employee stock options, (2) approximately 40.0 million outstanding detachable warrants to purchase common shares, and (3) approximately $400 million of convertible senior notes due 2017 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these securities were anti-dilutive.

Basic earnings per share computations are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were 271.9 million and 271.5 million, respectively.

As a result of the net loss from continuing operations presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, Kodak calculated diluted earnings per share using weighted-average basic shares outstanding for that period, as utilizing diluted shares would be anti-dilutive to loss per share.

If Kodak had reported earnings from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, no additional shares of Kodak’s common stock from unvested share-based awards would have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since they were all anti-dilutive.  Potential shares of Kodak’s common stock related to the assumed conversion of (1) approximately 11.5 million outstanding employee stock options, (2) approximately 40.0 million outstanding detachable warrants to purchase common shares, and (3) approximately $400 million of convertible senior notes due 2017 would still have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as these securities were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 17:  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Kodak has 950 million shares of authorized common stock with a par value of $2.50 per share, of which 391 million shares had been issued as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Treasury stock at cost consisted of approximately 118 million and 119 million shares as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 19:  SEGMENT INFORMATION

Current Segment Reporting Structure

Effective in the third quarter of 2012, Kodak had three reportable segments:  the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, and the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment.  Effective in the first quarter of 2013, the Intellectual Property and Brand Licensing strategic product group is reported in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films segment.  The Intellectual Property and Brand Licensing strategic product group was previously reported in the Personalized and Document Imaging segment.  Effective in the second quarter of 2013, due to the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment (excluding the Consumer Film business, for which Kodak will enter into an ongoing supply arrangement with the KPP) being reported as Discontinued operations, Kodak has two reportable segments:  the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment and the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment.  The balance of Kodak’s continuing operations, which do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other.  Prior period segment results have been revised to conform to the current period segment reporting structure.  A description of the segments follows.
 
Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films: The Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment encompasses Graphics, Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films, and Kodak’s intellectual property and brand licensing activities.  Product and service offerings include; digital plates, CTP output devices, digital controllers, unified workflow solutions, and entertainment imaging and commercial films.  On February 1, 2013, Kodak sold certain digital imaging patents.

Digital Printing and Enterprise:  The Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment encompasses Digital Printing, including PROSPER equipment and STREAM technology, Packaging and Functional Printing, Enterprise Services & Solutions, and Consumer Inkjet Systems.  On September 28, 2012, Kodak announced a plan, starting in 2013, to focus its Consumer Inkjet business solely on the sale of ink to its installed printer base.
 
All Other:  All Other is composed of Kodak’s Consumer Film business continuing operations.

Change in Segment Measure of Profit and Loss

During the second quarter of 2013, Kodak changed its segment measure of profit and loss to exclude amortization of prior service credits related to the U.S. Postretirement Benefit Plan.  Prior to this change, Kodak excluded certain other components of pension and other postretirement benefit obligation (OPEB) costs from the segment measure of profitability.  As a result of this change, the operating segment results now exclude the interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, amortization of prior service credits related to the U.S. Postretirement Benefit Plan, and special termination benefit, curtailment and settlement components of pension and OPEB expense.  The service cost component for all plans will continue to be reported as a part of operating segment results, as will the amortization of prior service cost component for all plans other than for the U.S. Postretirement Benefit Plan.

Prior period segment results have been revised to reflect this change.

Fair Value

The fair values of marketable securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 fair value measurements).  Fair values of Kodak’s forward contracts are determined using other observable inputs (Level 2 fair value measurements), and are based on the present value of expected future cash flows (an income approach valuation technique) considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for the duration of the contracts.  Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized based on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.  There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Fair values of long-term borrowings are determined by reference to quoted market prices, if available, or by pricing models based on the value of related cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.  The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables (which are not shown in the table above) approximate their fair values.

Foreign Exchange

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in Other income (charges), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The net effects of foreign currency transactions, including changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts, are shown below:

Derivative Financial Instruments

Kodak, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. Kodak manages such exposures, in part, with derivative financial instruments.

Foreign currency forward contracts are used to mitigate currency risk related to foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.  Silver forward contracts are used to mitigate Kodak’s risk to fluctuating silver prices.  Kodak’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs.

Kodak’s financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments.  Kodak manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties.  Kodak has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts.  The maximum credit exposure at June 30, 2013 was not significant to Kodak.

In the event of a default under the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, or Junior DIP Credit Agreement, or one of the Company’s Indentures (already in default), or a default under any derivative contract or similar obligation of Kodak, subject to certain minimum thresholds, the derivative counterparties would have the right, although not the obligation, to require immediate settlement of some or all open derivative contracts at their then-current fair value, but with liability positions netted against asset positions with the same counterparty.  At June 30, 2013, Kodak had open derivative contracts in liability positions with a total fair value of $1 million.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Kodak’s foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate currency risk related to existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges, and are marked to market through net (loss) earnings at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are re-measured through net earnings (loss) (both in Other income (charges), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations).  The notional amount of such contracts open at June 30, 2013 was approximately $594 million.  The majority of the contracts of this type held by Kodak are denominated in euros and Swiss francs.

Silver Forward Contracts

Kodak may enter into silver forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of commodity price risk related to forecasted purchases of silver.  Kodak had no open hedges as of June 30, 2013.

In January 2012, Kodak terminated all its existing hedges at a loss of $5 million.  These hedges were designated as secured agreements under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and needed to be settled prior to the termination of that facility in conjunction with the Company’s Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement.  Hedge gains and losses related to these silver forward contracts are reclassified into Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as the related silver containing products are sold to third parties.  These gains or losses transferred to Cost of sales are generally offset by increased or decreased costs of silver purchased in the open market.  As of June 30, 2013, there were no existing gains or losses to be reclassified to Cost of sales within the next twelve months.
 
NOTE 21:  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On April 26, 2013, Eastman Kodak Company, the Trustee, Kodak Limited and certain other Kodak entities entered into a global settlement agreement that resolves all liabilities of the Kodak group with respect to the KPP (the “Global Settlement”).  The Global Settlement provides for the acquisition by the KPP of certain assets, and the assumption by the KPP of certain liabilities, of Kodak’s Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses.  The consummation of the Global Settlement is contingent upon the substantial consummation of the Debtors’ POR or the provision by Kodak of adequate assurances of performance under the Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013.

Discontinued operations of Kodak include the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses (excluding the Consumer Film business, for which Kodak will enter into an ongoing supply arrangement with the KPP), digital capture and devices business (exited in the third quarter of 2012), Kodak Gallery (exited in the third quarter of 2012), and other miscellaneous businesses.

The significant components of revenues and loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, are as follows:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

On January 19, 2012 (the “Petition Date”), Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) case number 12-10202. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Filing Entities”) were not part of the Bankruptcy Filing. The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Non-Filing Entities will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business.

The Bankruptcy Filing was intended to permit Kodak to reorganize and bolster liquidity, monetize non-strategic intellectual property, fairly resolve legacy liabilities, and focus on its most valuable business lines.  The Debtors’ goal is to implement a plan of reorganization that meets the standards for confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code.
 
 
The Debtors have made progress toward these objectives, including the following:
 
·  
In November 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a settlement agreement between the Debtors and the retiree committee appointed by the U.S. Trustee related to its U.S. postretirement benefit plans.  Under the settlement agreement, the Debtors no longer provide retiree medical, dental, life insurance, and survivor income benefits to current and future retirees as of January 1, 2013 (other than COBRA continuation coverage of medical and/or dental benefits available to active employees or conversion coverage as required by the plans or applicable law).
·  
In February 2013, Kodak received approximately $530 million related to the sale and licensing of certain of its intellectual property assets and repaid approximately $419 million of the outstanding term loan under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement.
·  
On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into a junior secured priming super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan agreement in an aggregate amount of $848 million.  In connection with entering into the new financing, the Company repaid the term loans, in full, outstanding under its Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement. The Junior DIP Credit Agreement allows for a conversion of up to $654 million of the loans, upon emergence from chapter 11, into permanent exit financing, subject to certain conditions.
·  
On April 26, 2013, Eastman Kodak Company, KPP Trustees Limited (the “Trustee”), Kodak Limited (the “Subsidiary”) and certain other Kodak entities entered into a global settlement that resolves all liabilities of the Kodak group with respect to the Kodak Pension Plan in the United Kingdom (the “KPP”) (the “Global Settlement”).  The Global Settlement provides for the acquisition by the KPP of Kodak’s Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses with at least $445 million settled in cash (the “KPP Purchase”) of which no more than $325 million will come from KPP assets, net of the KL Payments, and up to $35 million of which is subject to repayment to KPP if the businesses do not achieve certain adjusted EBITDA targets through December 31, 2018.  The consummation of the Global Settlement is contingent upon the substantial consummation of the Debtors’ amended plan of reorganization (“POR”) or the provision by Kodak of adequate assurances of performance under the Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
·  
On June 17, 2013 the Company, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Urban Development Corporation, d/b/a Empire State Development entered into an agreement which, in part, establishes a $49 million environmental trust for Eastman Business Park (the “EBP Settlement Agreement”).  The agreement was subsequently amended on August 6, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement”).  The Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement includes a settlement of Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park (“EBP”) through the establishment of an environmental remediation trust (the “EBP Trust”). The EBP Settlement Agreement is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and resolution of issues raised by the United States Department of Justice on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to effectiveness set forth in the EBP Settlement Agreement.
·  
On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court determined that the Debtors’ amended disclosure statement contains the information necessary to enable creditors to vote on the Debtors’ plan of reorganization.  The Debtors have commenced solicitation of voting on the POR.
·  
On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Backstop Commitment Agreement which provides for a backstop to two proposed rights offerings that would offer up to 34 million shares of common stock to eligible creditors for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $406 million.  The Backstop Parties’ commitments to backstop the Rights Offerings, and the other transactions contemplated by the Backstop Commitment Agreement, are conditioned upon the satisfaction of all conditions to the effectiveness of the POR, and other conditions precedent set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement.  The issuance of common stock pursuant to the Rights Offerings and the Backstop Commitment Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, confirmation of the POR by the Bankruptcy Court, and will be effective upon the Company’s emergence from chapter 11.
·  
On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved Kodak’s entry into commitment and engagement documents in connection with a new exit financing package (the “Emergence Credit Facility”).  The Emergence Credit Facility provides for senior secured term loans of $695 million as well as for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $200 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Kodak is focusing its reorganization plan on its commercial imaging businesses: Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films and Digital Printing and Enterprise Services. In order to focus on its most valuable business lines Kodak exited its digital capture and devices business, including digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and digital picture frames and sold certain assets of its Kodak Gallery business.  Kodak has also announced that it is focusing its Consumer Inkjet business solely on the sale of ink to its installed printer base.

While revenue from continuing operations declined for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from the comparable prior year period primarily due to volume declines across all segments, gross profit percentages have increased and selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses for continuing operations have declined from the prior year comparable period.  Kodak continues its focus on profitability, including leveraging the bankruptcy process to negotiate more favorable supplier and customer contract terms.  Additionally, the Company recognized a $535 million gain on the sale of its digital imaging patent portfolio during the first quarter of 2013.  The cost of the bankruptcy proceedings continues to negatively impact earnings.

Effective in the third quarter of 2012, Kodak had three reportable segments:  the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, and the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment.  Effective in the first quarter of 2013, the Intellectual Property and Brand Licensing strategic product group is reported in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment.  The Intellectual Property and Brand Licensing strategic product group was previously reported in the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment.  Effective in the second quarter of 2013, due to the Personalized and Document Imaging Segment (excluding the Consumer Film business, for which Kodak will enter into an ongoing supply arrangement with the KPP) being reported as Discontinued operations, Kodak has two reportable segments:  the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment and the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment.  The balance of Kodak’s continuing operations, which do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, are reported in All Other.  Prior period segment results have been revised to conform to the current period segment reporting structure.  A description of the reportable segments follows.  Within each of the Company’s reportable segments are various components, or Strategic Product Groups (SPGs).  Throughout the remainder of this document, references to the segments’ SPGs are indicated in italics.  A description of the segments is as follows:
 
Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment: The Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment provides commercial digital and traditional product and service offerings, and also includes Kodak’s intellectual property and brand licensing activities.  The Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment encompasses the following SPGs.  Products and services included within each SPG are identified below.

Graphics includes prepress solutions, which includes equipment, plates, chemistry, and related services, and workflow software and digital controllers.

Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films includes entertainment imaging products and services; aerial and industrial film products; film for the production of printed circuit boards; and chemical and film base sales.

Intellectual Property & Brand Licensing includes the licensing activities related to digital imaging products and branded licensed products.  On February 1, 2013, Kodak sold certain digital imaging patents.

Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment:  The Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment serves a variety of customers in the creative, in-plant, data center, consumer printing, commercial printing, packaging and functional printing, newspaper and digital service bureau market industries with a range of software, media and hardware products that provide customers with a variety of solutions.  The Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment encompasses the following SPGs.  Products and services included within each SPG are identified below.

Digital Printing includes high-speed, high-volume commercial inkjet, including PROSPER equipment and STREAM technology, and color and black-and-white electrophotographic printing equipment, and related consumables and services.

Packaging and Functional Printing includes packaging printing equipment and related consumables and services, as well as printed functional materials and components.

Enterprise Services and Solutions includes business solutions and consulting services.

Consumer Inkjet Systems includes consumer inkjet printers and related ink and media consumables.  On September 28, 2012, the Company announced a plan, starting in 2013, to focus its Consumer Inkjet business solely on the sale of ink to its installed printer base.

All Other:  All Other is composed of Kodak’s Consumer Film business continuing operations.

Change in Segment Measure of Profit and Loss

During the second quarter of 2013, Kodak changed its segment measure of profit and loss to exclude amortization of prior service credits related to the U.S. Postretirement Benefit Plan.  Prior to this change, Kodak excluded certain other components of pension and other postretirement benefit obligation (OPEB) costs from the segment measure of profitability.  As a result of this change, the operating segment results now exclude the interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, amortization of prior service credits related to the U.S. Postretirement Benefit Plan, and special termination benefit, curtailment and settlement components of pension and OPEB expense.  The service cost component for all plans will continue to be reported as a part of operating segment results, as will the amortization of prior service cost component for all plans other than for the U.S. Postretirement Benefit Plan.

Prior period segment results have been revised to reflect this change.

Revenues

Current Quarter
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net sales decreased approximately 17% compared with the same period in 2012 primarily due to volume declines, partially offset by favorable price/mix within Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films (+2%) in the Graphics, Entertainment & Commercial Films segment.  See segment discussions below for additional information.

Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net sales decreased approximately 11% compared with the same period in 2012 primarily due to volume declines, partially offset by favorable price/mix within Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films (+3%) in the Graphics, Entertainment & Commercial Films segment.  See segment discussions below for additional information.

Included in first quarter 2013 revenues was a non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreement.  This licensing agreement contributed approximately $31 million to revenues in the first quarter of 2013.  There was a $61 million license revenue reduction reflecting sharing, with licensees, of the withholding tax refund received in the first quarter of 2012 (refer to Note 10, “Income Taxes” for additional information).

Gross Profit

Current Quarter
The increase in gross profit percent for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the prior year quarter was due to favorable price/mix in the Digital Printing and Enterprise segment, primarily due to price/mix improvements within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+2pp).  Manufacturing and other cost improvements also contributed to the improvement in gross profit percent for the quarter. See segment discussions below for additional details.

Year to Date
The increase in gross profit percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the prior year quarter was due to favorable price/mix in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films segment (+7pp) and the Digital Printing and Enterprise segment (+4pp).  Manufacturing and other cost improvements in the Digital Printing and Enterprise segment (+2pp) also contributed to the improvement.  See segment discussions below for additional details.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The decreases in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the prior year periods were the result of cost reduction actions including the change in strategy for Consumer Inkjet Systems.

Research and Development Costs

The decreases in consolidated research and development costs (R&D) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the prior year periods were primarily attributable to cost reduction actions resulting from focused development activities on core products and certain products reaching the commercialization stage.

Restructuring Costs and Other

These costs, as well as the restructuring costs reported in Cost of sales, are discussed under the "RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER" section.

Results of Operations – Discontinued Operations
 
 
On April 26, 2013, Eastman Kodak Company, the Trustee, Kodak Limited and certain other Kodak entities entered into a global settlement agreement that resolves all liabilities of the Kodak group with respect to the KPP (the “Global Settlement”).  The Global Settlement provides for the acquisition by the KPP of certain assets, and the assumption by the KPP of certain liabilities, of Kodak’s Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses.  The consummation of the Global Settlement is contingent upon the substantial consummation of the Debtors’ POR or the provision by Kodak of adequate assurances of performance under the Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013.

Discontinued operations of Kodak include the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses (excluding the Consumer Film business, for which Kodak will enter into an ongoing supply arrangement with the KPP), digital capture and devices business (exited in the third quarter of 2012), Kodak Gallery (exited in the third quarter of 2012), and other miscellaneous businesses.

Interest expense on debt that is required to be repaid as a result of the sale of the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses has been allocated to discontinued operations ($5 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $5 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively).  Depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets of the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses included in discontinued operations ceased as of July 1, 2013.

Direct operating expenses of the discontinued operations are included in the results of discontinued operations.  Indirect expenses that were historically allocated to the discontinued operations have been included in the results of continuing operations.  Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The loss from discontinued operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of $16 million and $57 million, respectively, were net of a benefit for income taxes of $2 million, and $6 million, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $2 million and $70 million, respectively, were net of a provision for income taxes of $8 million, and $6 million, respectively.

Revenues

Current Quarter
The decrease in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment net sales of approximately 17% for the second quarter was primarily due to volume declines within Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films (-9%), largely attributable to reduced demand from movie studios, and within Graphics (-8%), largely attributable to lower demand for digital plates.  Partially offsetting these declines was favorable price/mix within Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films (+4%) due to pricing actions impacting the current year quarter.

The decrease in the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment net sales of approximately 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to volume declines within Entertainment Imaging & Commercial Films (-12%), largely attributable to reduced demand from movie studios, and within Graphics (-10%), largely attributable to lower demand for digital plates.  Partially offsetting these declines was favorable price/mix within Intellectual Property and Brand Licensing (+11%) and within Entertainment Imaging and Commercial Films (+4%) due to pricing actions impacting the current year period.

Included in the year to date 2013 revenues was a non-recurring intellectual property licensing agreement.  This licensing agreement contributed approximately $31 million to revenues in the first quarter of 2013.  There was a $61 million license revenue reduction reflecting sharing, with licensees, of the withholding tax refund received in the first quarter of 2012 (refer to Note 10, “Income Taxes” for additional information).

Revenues

Current Quarter
The decrease in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment net sales of approximately 11% for the second quarter was primarily attributable to volume declines within Consumer Inkjet Systems, driven by lower consumer printer sales, due to the discontinuance of printer production (-7%), and lower sales of ink to the existing installed base of printers (-6%).  Partially offsetting these declines were volume improvements within Digital Printing driven by a larger number of placements of commercial inkjet equipment (+4%).

Year to Date
The decrease in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment net sales of approximately 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to volume declines within Consumer Inkjet Systems, driven by lower consumer printer sales, due to the discontinuance of printer production (-6%), and lower sales of ink to the existing installed base of printers (-3%).
 
Gross Profit

Current Quarter
The increase in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment gross profit percent for the second quarter was primarily due to favorable price/mix within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+9pp) due to a greater proportion of consumer ink sales.  Also contributing to the increase in gross profit percent were manufacturing and other cost reductions within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+3pp) and Digital Printing (+2pp) due to productivity improvement initiatives.

Year to Date
The increase in the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment gross profit percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to favorable price/mix within Consumer Inkjet Systems (+12pp), due to a greater proportion of consumer ink sales in the current year period.  Also contributing to the increase in gross profit percent were manufacturing and other cost reductions within Digital Printing (+3pp) and Packaging and Functional Printing (+2pp) due to productivity improvement initiatives. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The decreases in SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the prior year periods were primarily attributable to cost reduction actions including the change in strategy for Consumer Inkjet Systems.

Research and Development Costs

The decreases in R&D for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the prior year periods were primarily attributable to cost reduction actions resulting from certain products reaching the commercialization stage and focused development activities on other core products.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND OTHER

The Company recorded $34 million of charges, including $3 million of charges for accelerated depreciation and $1 million of charges for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and $1 million which was reported as Discontinued operations.  The Company recorded $48 million of charges, including $4 million of charges for accelerated depreciation and $2 million of charges for inventory write-downs, which were reported in Cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and $2 million which was reported as Discontinued operations.  The remaining costs incurred of $29 million and $40 million were reported as Restructuring costs and other in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.  The severance and exit costs reserves require the outlay of cash, while long-lived asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and inventory write-downs represent non-cash items.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company made cash payments related to restructuring of approximately $27 million and $65 million, respectively.

The charges of $48 million recorded in the first half of 2013 included $5 million applicable to the Digital Printing and Enterprise Segment, $21 million applicable to the Graphics, Entertainment and Commercial Films Segment, and $20 million that was applicable to manufacturing, research and development, and administrative functions, which are shared across both segments.  The remaining $2 million was applicable to Discontinued operations.

The restructuring actions implemented in the first half of 2013 are expected to generate future annual cash savings of approximately $46 million.  These savings are expected to reduce future annual Cost of sales, SG&A, and R&D expenses by $27 million, $18 million, and $1 million, respectively.  The Company began realizing a portion of these savings in the first half of 2013, and expects the majority of the annual savings to be in effect by the end of 2013 as actions are completed.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased $266 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to non-payment of certain pre-petition claims due to the Bankruptcy Filing in the prior year period and payment of the Second Lien interest in the current year period that was accrued and unpaid since the Bankruptcy Filing.  Partially offsetting these increased uses of cash were reduced current year period pension and other postretirement payments and improved earnings in the current year period.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased $514 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the increase in proceeds from sales of businesses/assets of $511 million.  The sale of the digital imaging patent portfolio contributed approximately $530 million in the current year period.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased $771 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the corresponding period in 2012 due to the net pay-down of debt in the current year period of approximately $218 million compared with borrowing under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement in the prior year quarter.  Refer to discussion below for more details on current period financing activities.

Sources of Liquidity

Kodak historically used cash received from operations, including intellectual property licensing, and the sale of non-core assets to fund its investment in its growth businesses and its transformation from a traditional film manufacturing company to a digital technology company.  Kodak is focusing on its core business lines and reducing overhead costs to enable sustained profitability.  During the third quarter of 2012 Kodak exited its digital capture and devices and Kodak Gallery businesses.  Kodak has also announced that, starting in 2013, its Consumer Inkjet business solely consists of selling ink to its installed printer base.
 
During 2012 and 2011, Kodak made contributions (funded plans) or paid benefits (unfunded plans) of $153 million and $217 million, respectively, relating to its major defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  The decline in 2012 from 2011 is primarily due to the fact that the 2012 contribution to the Kodak Pension Plan (the “KPP”) in the United Kingdom was not made.  Kodak estimates contributions and benefit payments relating to its major defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2013 of $45 million. The expected decline in 2013 from 2012 is primarily due to the discontinuation of U.S. retiree medical, dental, life insurance, and survivor income benefits (other than COBRA continuation coverage or conversion rights as required by the applicable benefit plans or applicable law) in 2013.

Kodak incurred $99 million and $29 million of expenses for special termination benefits paid out of its U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The plan provision providing for the special termination benefits expired at the end of 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents are held in various locations throughout the world.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $273 million and $324 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held within the U.S. and approximately $742 million and $811 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S.  Total cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $1,015 million and $1,135 million, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, approximately $33 million, net of tax, of cash was repatriated, or loaned, from foreign subsidiaries to the U.S., net of loans and repayments of loans to foreign subsidiaries.  Kodak utilizes a variety of tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that cash is available in locations where it is needed.  Cash balances held outside of the U.S. are generally required to support local country operations, may have high tax costs, or other limitations that delay the ability to repatriate, and therefore may not be readily available for transfer to other jurisdictions.  Additionally, in China, where approximately $268 million of cash and cash equivalents was held as of June 30, 2013, there are limitations related to net asset balances that impact the ability to make cash available to other jurisdictions in the world.  Under the terms of the debtor-in-possession credit agreements, the Debtors are permitted to invest up to $100 million at any time in subsidiaries that are not party to the loan agreement.
 
In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, on January 20, 2012, the Company and Kodak Canada Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended on January 25, 2012, March 5, 2012, April 26, 2012, December 19, 2012, and February 6, 2013 (the “Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement”), with the U.S. subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Canadian Borrower signatory thereto, the lenders signatory thereto (the “Lenders”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as syndication agent, administration agent and co-collateral agent.  Pursuant to the terms of the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to lend in an aggregate principal amount of up to $950 million, consisting of up to $250 million super-priority senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities and an up to $700 million super-priority senior secured term loan facility.  On March 22, 2013, the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement was amended and restated, pursuant to an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) dated as of March 13, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement”).
 
The Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement reflected the pay-down in full of all term loans that were outstanding under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement as of March 22, 2013, in the amount of $222 million.  Previously, on February 1, 2013, Kodak entered into a series of agreements under which it received approximately $530 million of proceeds, net of withholding taxes, a portion of which was paid by intellectual property licensees and a portion of which was paid by the acquirers of Kodak’s digital imaging patent portfolio.  Approximately $419 million of the proceeds were used to prepay the term loan under the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement.  The Company paid the remaining outstanding term loan balance, in full, upon entering into the Junior DIP Credit Agreement described below.  The Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement also reflected certain other changes to the terms of the Original Senior DIP Credit Agreement, including (i) the extension of the maturity date from July 20, 2013 to September 30, 2013, (ii) the elimination of the Canadian revolving facility, which was not being used by the Company, the removal of the Canadian Borrower from the facility, and the reduction of the aggregate amount of the U.S. revolving credit commitments from $225 million to $200 million, (iii) removal of machinery and equipment from the borrowing base of the revolving facility, and (iv) revision of the existing financial covenants and modification of other covenants to match the terms of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.

The Company must prepay the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and cash-collateralize outstanding letters of credit with all net cash proceeds from sales of or casualty events relating to certain types of collateral consisting of accounts or inventory (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement).  The Company has issued approximately $128 million of letters of credit under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013.  Under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement borrowing base calculation, the Company had approximately $21 million available under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013.  Availability is subject to borrowing base availability, reserves and other limitations.
 
On March 22, 2013, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Loan Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) with the lenders signatory thereto (the “Lenders”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as agent.  Pursuant to the terms of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the Lenders provided the Company with term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $848 million consisting of approximately $473 million of new money term loans (the “New Money Loans”), with $450 million of net proceeds, and $375 million of junior term loans (the “Junior Loans”).  The Junior Loans were issued in exchange for the same principal amount of Second Lien Notes pursuant to an offer by the Company to holders of the outstanding Second Lien Notes.  The Bankruptcy Filing created an event of default under the Second Lien Notes.  The maturity date of the loans made under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement is the earliest to occur of (i) September 30, 2013, (ii) the effective date of the Company’s plan of reorganization and (iii) the acceleration of such loans.  In connection with the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Note Holders received payment of the accrued interest on the Second Lien Notes as of March 22, 2013 in the amount of $116 million.
 
The Company must prepay the Junior DIP Credit Agreement with 100% of net cash proceeds from casualty events.  For asset sales other than the Specified Sale (as defined below), the Company must make prepayments as follows:  (i) 80% of net cash proceeds up to $20 million and (ii) 100% of net cash proceeds greater than $20 million.  In addition, with respect to the Specified Sale, prepayments are required as follows: (i) 100% of net cash proceeds up to $200 million; (ii) 0% of net cash proceeds in excess of $200 million but less than or equal to $600 million; and (iii) 75% of net cash proceeds in excess of $600 million.
 
The Company has the ability to convert the Junior DIP Credit Agreement into an up to $654 million exit facility with an additional five-year term provided that Kodak meets certain conditions and milestones, including Bankruptcy Court approval of the plan of reorganization by September 15, 2013, with an effective date no later than September 30, 2013; repayment of at least $200 million of principal amount of New Money Loans; and receipt of at least $600 million in cash proceeds through the disposition of certain specified assets, including any combination of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses and trademarks and related rights (the “Specified Sale”) provided that consent of the “Required Lead Lenders” (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement), would be necessary to exclude the assets of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses from the disposition; the resolution of all obligations owing in respect of the KPP on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders; and there shall have been an additional prepayment of loans in an amount equal to 75% of U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) above $200 million.
 
Under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement the Company is required to maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity of $100 million and minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Commercial Imaging Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the agreements) at specified levels ranging from approximately $35 million to approximately $171 million and approximately $58 million to approximately $202 million, respectively.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the required minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $35 million and the required minimum Commercial Imaging Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $58 million.  Kodak was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and the Junior DIP Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013.

On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved Kodak’s entry into commitment and engagement documents in connection with a new exit financing package (the “Emergence Credit Facility”).  The Emergence Credit Facility provides for senior secured term loans of $695 million consisting of $420 million of first lien term loans and $275 million of second lien term loans.  In addition, the Emergence Credit Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $200 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  The asset-based revolving credit facility would have a maturity of the earlier of five years or 90 days prior to maturity of term loans or other material indebtedness.  The first-lien term loans would have a maturity of six years from the closing date and the second-lien term loans would have a maturity of seven years from the closing date.

 
59

 


The Company expects to close on the Emergence Credit Facility upon emergence from chapter 11 and would therefore not need to convert the Junior DIP Credit Agreement notes into the exit facility notes provided for under the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.
 
On June 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Backstop Commitment Agreement which provides for a backstop to two Rights Offerings that would offer up to 34 million shares of common stock to eligible creditors for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $406 million.  The Backstop Parties’ commitments to backstop the Rights Offerings, and the other transactions contemplated by the Backstop Commitment Agreement, are conditioned upon the satisfaction of all conditions to the effectiveness of the POR, and other applicable conditions precedent set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement.  The issuance of common stock pursuant to the Rights Offerings and the Backstop Commitment Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things, confirmation of the POR by the Bankruptcy Court, and will be effective upon the Company’s emergence from chapter 11.
 
Kodak currently expects to use proceeds from the Emergence Credit Facility, the Rights Offerings and the sale of the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging business to pay the remaining balance of the Junior DIP Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Notes as well as to fund some of the emergence costs as follows:

Kodak’s business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay the principal of, or interest on Kodak’s indebtedness, or to fund Kodak’s other liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, restructuring actions, costs related to the cases and other general corporate requirements.  If Kodak cannot fund its liquidity needs, it will have to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, and investments and alliances; selling additional assets; restructuring or refinancing its debt; or seeking additional equity capital.  These actions may be restricted as a result of the Debtors’ chapter 11 proceedings and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement and Junior DIP Credit Agreement.  Such actions could increase Kodak’s debt, negatively impact customer confidence in Kodak’s ability to provide products and services, reduce Kodak’s ability to raise additional capital, delay sustained profitability, and adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to emerge from bankruptcy.  There can be no assurance that any of these remedies could, if necessary, be effected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that they would permit Kodak to meet its scheduled debt service obligations.  In addition, if Kodak incurs additional debt, the risks associated with its substantial leverage, including the risk that it will be unable to service Kodak’s debt or generate enough cash flow to fund its liquidity needs, could intensify.
 
Liens on assets under Kodak’s borrowing arrangements are not expected to affect Kodak’s ability to divest of non-core assets.

Item 3.  Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company, as a result of its global operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.  In seeking to minimize the risks associated with such activities, the Company may enter into derivative contracts.  The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.  Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, especially those of the Company’s International Treasury Center, as well as forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales.  Silver forward contracts are used to mitigate the Company’s risk to fluctuating silver prices.  The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates results from its investing and borrowing activities used to meet its liquidity needs.  Long-term debt is generally used to finance long-term investments, while short-term debt is used to meet working capital requirements.

Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of open foreign currency forward contracts using available forward rates, if the U.S. dollar had been 10% weaker at June 30, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of open forward contracts would have decreased $31 million and $17 million, respectively.  Such changes in fair value would be substantially offset by the revaluation or settlement of the underlying positions hedged.

There were no open silver forward contracts as of June 30, 2013 or as of June 30, 2012.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its borrowing activities and, to a lesser extent, through investments in marketable securities.  The Company may utilize borrowings to fund its working capital and investment needs.  The majority of short-term and long-term borrowings are in fixed-rate instruments.  There is inherent roll-over risk for borrowings and marketable securities as they mature and are renewed at current market rates.  The extent of this risk is not predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements.

Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 80 basis points) lower at June 30, 2013, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have increased $1 million and $14 million, respectively.  Using a sensitivity analysis based on estimated fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings, if available market interest rates had been 10% (about 296 basis points) lower at June 30, 2012, the fair value of short-term and long-term borrowings would have increased less than $1 million and $41 million, respectively.

The Company’s financial instrument counterparties are high-quality investment or commercial banks with significant experience with such instruments.  The Company manages exposure to counterparty credit risk by requiring specific minimum credit standards and diversification of counterparties.  The Company has procedures to monitor the credit exposure amounts.  The maximum credit exposure at June 30, 2013 was not significant to the Company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, the Company’s management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.  The Company’s management, with participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.  Other Information

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On January 19, 2012, Eastman Kodak Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Bankruptcy Filing") under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") case number 12-10202. The Company's foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Non-Filing Entities") were not part of the Bankruptcy Filing. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Non-Filing Entities continue to operate in the ordinary course of business.  As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, much of the pending litigation against the Debtors is stayed. Subject to certain exceptions and approval by the Bankruptcy Court, during the chapter 11 process, no party can take further actions to recover pre-petition claims against the Company. Refer to Note 2, “Bankruptcy Proceedings,” in the Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Subsequent to the Company’s Bankruptcy Filing, between January 27, 2012 and March 22, 2012, several putative class action suits were filed in federal court in the Western District of New York against the current and certain former members of the Board of Directors (who were subsequently dismissed from the suits), the Company’s Savings and Investment Plan (“SIP”) Committee and certain former and current executives of the Company.  The suits have been consolidated into a single action brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), styled as In re Eastman Kodak ERISA Litigation.  The allegations concern the decline in the Company’s stock price and its alleged impact on SIP and on the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  Plaintiffs seek the recovery of any losses to the applicable plans, a constructive trust, the appointment of an independent fiduciary, equitable relief, as applicable, and attorneys’ fees and costs.  Defendants’ motion to dismiss the litigation was heard on May 23, 2013 and has been taken under advisement.

On February 10, 2012, a suit was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York against the Chief Executive Officer, the former President and Chief Operating Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer, as a putative class action suit under the federal securities laws, claiming that certain Company statements concerning the Company’s business and financial results were misleading (Timothy A. Hutchinson v. Antonio M. Perez, Philip J. Faraci, and Antoinette McCorvey). The Court granted defendants’ July 2, 2012 motion to dismiss this case as against all defendants but granted the plaintiffs’ subsequent motion for leave to amend.  Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against only the Chief Executive Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer (Timothy A. Hutchinson v. Antonio M. Perez and Antoinette McCorvey), in which they sought damages with interest, equitable relief as applicable, and attorneys’ fees and costs.  The Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the case on April 25, 2013, and plaintiffs have appealed.

The Company believes that the ERISA and securities suits are not uncommon for companies in chapter 11.  On behalf of the defendants in both cases, the Company believes that the suits are without merit and will vigorously defend them on their behalf. 

The Company provided an indemnity as part of the 1994 sale of Sterling Corporation (now STWB) which covered a number of environmental sites including the Lower Passaic River Study Area (“LPRSA”) portion of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site. STWB, now owned by Bayer Corporation, is Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at the site based on alleged releases from facilities formerly owned by subsidiaries of Sterling, a former Hilton Davis site in Newark and a Lehn & Fink facility in Bloomfield, New Jersey.  On February 10, 2004, the Company (through its subsidiary NPEC) joined the Cooperating Parties Group (“CPG”) and entered into a 122(h) Agreement under CERCLA on June 22, 2004, and a Consent Order with the EPA on May 8, 2007.  On February 29, 2012, the Company notified the EPA, STWB, Bayer, and the CPG that under the bankruptcy proceeding, it has elected to discontinue funding and participation in the remedial investigation being implemented by the CPG pursuant to the EPA Order.  Bayer and STWB have filed proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 cases.
 
On June 17, 2013 the Company, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New York State Urban Development Corporation, d/b/a Empire State Development entered into an agreement which, in part, establishes a $49 million environmental trust for Eastman Business Park (the “EBP Settlement Agreement”).  The agreement was subsequently amended on August 6, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement”).  The Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement includes a settlement of Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities at Eastman Business Park (“EBP”) through the establishment of an environmental remediation trust (the “EBP Trust”).  If the Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, (i) the EBP Trust will be responsible for investigation and remediation at EBP arising from Kodak’s historical environmental liabilities in existence prior to the effective date of the EBP Settlement, (ii) Kodak will fund the EBP Trust with a $49 million payment and transfer to the EBP Trust Kodak’s interests in personal property, equipment and fixtures used for performing any environmental response actions at EBP, and (iii) in the event the historical liabilities exceed $99 million, Kodak will become liable for 50% of the portion above $99 million.  The transaction is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and resolution of issues raised by the United States Department of Justice on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to effectiveness set forth in the Amended and Restated EBP Settlement Agreement.

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including commercial, customs, employment, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. The Company is also subject to various assertions, claims, proceedings and requests for indemnification concerning intellectual property, including patent infringement suits involving technologies that are incorporated in a broad spectrum of the Company’s products. These matters are in various stages of investigation and litigation, and are being vigorously defended. Much of the pending litigation against the Debtors has been stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Filing and will be subject to resolution in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  Based on information presently available, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that losses for known exposures could exceed current accruals by material amounts, although costs could be material to a particular quarter or year.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Continued investment, capital needs, restructuring payments and servicing the Company’s debt require a significant amount of cash and the Company may not be able to generate cash necessary to finance these activities, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition and, as a result, its ability to successfully emerge from bankruptcy.
The Company’s business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable it to pay the principal of, or interest on the Company’s indebtedness, or to fund the Company’s other liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances, restructuring actions, costs related to the cases and other general corporate requirements.

The Company’s ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, litigation, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the Company’s control.  We cannot assure you that:

·  
the Company’s businesses will generate sufficient cash flow from operations;
 
·  
the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash proceeds through the disposition of the Company’s Personalized Imaging, Document Imaging and other businesses;
 
·  
the Company will be able to repatriate or move cash to locations where and when it is needed;
 
·  
the Company will meet all the conditions associated with the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the emergence credit facilities, and the Backstop Commitment Agreement;
 
·  
the Company will realize cost savings, earnings growth and operating improvements resulting from the execution of the Debtors’ chapter 11 business and restructuring plan; or
 
·  
future sources of funding will be available to the Company in amounts sufficient to enable it to fund the Company’s liquidity needs.

If we cannot fund the Company’s liquidity needs, we will have to take actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, product development efforts, strategic acquisitions, and investments and alliances; selling additional assets; restructuring or refinancing the Company’s debt; or seeking additional equity capital.  These actions may be restricted as a result of the Debtors’ chapter 11 proceedings, the Amended and Restated Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, and the emergence credit facilities.  Such actions could increase the Company’s debt, negatively impact customer confidence in the Company’s ability to provide products and services, reduce the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, delay sustained profitability, and adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to emerge from bankruptcy.  We cannot assure you that any of these remedies could, if necessary, be affected on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or that they would permit us to meet the Company’s scheduled debt service obligations.  In addition, if we incur additional debt, the risks associated with the Company’s substantial leverage, including the risk that we will be unable to service the Company’s debt or generate enough cash flow to fund the Company’s liquidity needs, could intensify.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the closing conditions under the emergence credit facilities.
The credit agreements for the emergence credit facilities contain various conditions to closing.  Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the emergence credit facilities is a condition precedent to effectiveness of the Plan.  If Kodak cannot meet the closing conditions under the emergence credit facilities, the Debtors would not have sufficient funds to satisfy the Claims of Holders of Claims, repay their debtor-in-possession credit agreements and finance their operations going forward. As a result, this would prevent the successful restructuring of Kodak as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the requirements under the Backstop Commitment Agreement.
On June 18, 2013, the Company and the Backstop Parties entered into the Backstop Commitment Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Backstop Parties have committed to purchase any shares offered but unsubscribed in the Rights Offering.  The Backstop Commitment Agreement is subject to certain conditions.  In particular, if a Backstop Party fails to fund such Backstop Party’s backstop commitment in accordance with the Backstop Commitment Agreement, there can be no assurance that a Backstop Party Replacement or a Cover Transaction (both as defined in the Backstop Commitment Agreement) will be consummated in accordance with the Backstop Commitment Agreement.  If a Backstop Party Replacement or a Cover Transaction has not been consummated prior to the expiration of the relevant periods, the Backstop Commitment Agreement may be terminated by the Company or the Majority Backstop Parties.  Consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Backstop Commitment Agreement is a condition precedent to effectiveness of the Plan.  If the Backstop Commitment Agreement is terminated prior to the Plan becoming effective, the Debtors may not have sufficient funds to satisfy the Claims of Holders of Claims, which may delay or prevent the successful restructuring of Kodak as a going concern.

Our plan of reorganization may not be confirmed and may not become effective.
We can make no assurances that the Debtors will receive the requisite support to confirm the POR.  Even if the Debtors receive the requisite support, there is no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the POR.  Although the Bankruptcy Court has determined that the Disclosure Statement and the balloting procedures and results are appropriate, the Bankruptcy Court may still decline to confirm the POR if it finds that any of the statutory requirements for confirmation have not been met, including that the POR does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to Classes that reject, or are deemed to reject the POR. Moreover, there can be no assurance that modifications to the POR will not be required for confirmation or that such modifications will not necessitate the resolicitation of votes.  If the POR is not confirmed, it is unclear what distributions Holders of Claims or Equity Interests would ultimately receive with respect to their Claims or Equity Interests in a subsequent plan of reorganization.

Although the Company believes that the Effective Date of the POR will occur soon after the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to the occurrence of the Effective Date.  If the Effective Date does not occur by September 30, 2013, the debtor-in-possession credit facilities would be in default, and there can be no assurance the POR can be consummated absent obtaining appropriate waivers from the lenders under the debtor-in-possession credit facilities. If the Effective Date does not occur by October 2, 2013 or such later date as the Company, in consultation with the Requisite Backstop Parties, agree, the POR shall be null and void in all respects and nothing contained in the POR or the Disclosure Statement shall constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or claims against or Equity Interests in the Company, prejudice in any manner the rights of the Company or any other Person, or constitute an admission, acknowledgment, offer or undertaking by the Company or any Person.

The Kodak Pension Plan of the United Kingdom has a significant underfunded position, which Kodak Limited does not have the capacity to fully fund.  Any demands made against Kodak Limited in respect of the pension deficiency or other amounts due to this pension plan could result in the insolvent liquidation of Kodak Limited and other non-U.S. subsidiaries.
Kodak Limited is the statutory employer with respect to the Kodak Pension Plan of the United Kingdom (the “KPP”), which has an underfunded position of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) is included in Liabilities held for sale presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.   The Company previously issued a guarantee to Kodak Limited and the trustee of the KPP under which it guaranteed the ability of Kodak Limited to make certain contributions to the KPP.  Refer to Note 2, “Bankruptcy Proceedings - Eastman Kodak Company Guarantee” in the Notes to Financial Statements, for a description of the guarantee.  The trustee of the KPP filed a claim in the chapter 11 case against the Company under this guarantee alleging that the pension deficiency is approximately $2.8 billion.  The trustee of the KPP could demand that Kodak Limited fund the full pension deficiency at any time.  Kodak Limited does not have assets sufficient to fully fund the KPP deficiency if such a demand were made and not fully covered by funding received from the Company under its guarantee.  Since Kodak Limited is not a Debtor in the chapter 11 case, Kodak Limited is not protected by the stay of enforcement proceedings applicable to the Debtors and a KPP claim against Kodak Limited will not be subject to involuntary compromise as part of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.  In addition, Kodak Limited has not made its annual contributions of approximately $50 million due to the KPP for each of 2012 and 2013, and this amount could be demanded by the KPP at any time.  If the KPP demands payment of this amount, Kodak Limited does not have available cash to pay it without drawing on intercompany loans to other Company subsidiaries.  Kodak Limited is the largest creditor and sole equity owner of Kodak International Finance Limited, a subsidiary that currently functions as a global cash management company and also has received substantial advances from, and made substantial loans to, various non-U.S. subsidiaries whose liquidity is important to the continued operation of the global group as a going concern.

On April 26, 2013, the Company, the KPP, Kodak Limited and certain other Kodak entities entered into the KPP Global Settlement that resolves current and future liabilities of the Kodak group with respect to the KPP.  The KPP Global Settlement is subject to certain terms and conditions.  Consummation of the KPP Global Settlement on or prior to the Effective Date is a condition precedent to effectiveness of the Plan.  If the KPP Global Settlement has been terminated prior to the Plan becoming effective, the KPP Trustee will, and the Pension Protection Fund and the U.K. Pensions Regulator may, have claims against Kodak Limited and potentially other Kodak companies in addition to the claims filed by the KPP against the Company.  Prosecution of these claims could lead to the insolvent liquidation of Kodak Limited, its subsidiary Kodak International Finance Limited and other non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company.  The insolvent liquidation of non-U.S. subsidiaries could result in the loss of control of those subsidiaries by the Company, may disrupt global cash management, and may delay or prevent the successful restructuring of Kodak as a going concern. In addition, in the event a non-Debtor subsidiary of the Company becomes insolvent or enter insolvency proceedings, any outstanding amount under the DIP ABL Credit Agreement or the DIP Term Loan Credit Agreement, principal and interest, could become immediately due and payable.  These events could render the Company unable to reorganize successfully.

Section 2.6 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) No later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Working Capital Statement”) in the form of the Form of Working Capital Statement that sets forth Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital and Reference Adjusted Working Capital, prepared in accordance with the Working Capital Principles.

(b) Thereafter, at the request of Seller, Purchaser shall give Seller reasonable access during normal business hours to Purchaser’s working papers and any working papers of Purchaser’s independent accountants relating to the preparation of the Working Capital Statement, as well as the books and records of Purchaser that relate to the Business that are relevant to Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital and Reference Adjusted Working Capital; provided, however, that the independent accountants of Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to Seller unless and until Seller has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such independent accountants. In addition, Purchaser shall make its representatives responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation and calculation of, the Working Capital Statement, reasonably available to answer questions with respect to the contents of the Working Capital Statement and Seller’s calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital and Reference Adjusted Working Capital.

(c) Seller shall be entitled to dispute the calculation of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital or the Reference Adjusted Working Capital set forth in the Working Capital Statement if it delivers a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Purchaser within 60 days after delivery of the Working Capital Statement (the “Objection Period”). The Objection Notice shall contain a reasonably detailed description of any changes that Seller proposes to be made to the calculation of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital or the Reference Adjusted Working Capital set forth in the Working Capital Statement. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice to Purchaser within the Objection Period, Seller shall not be entitled to dispute the calculation of Closing Adjusted Working Capital or the Reference Adjusted Working Capital set forth in the Working Capital Statement, which shall be final and binding on each of the Parties.

(d) If Seller delivers an Objection Notice to Purchaser within the Objection Period, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the amount of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Reference Adjusted Working Capital during the period commencing on the date of delivery of the Objection Notice and ending 30 days thereafter (the “Negotiation Period”). If Seller and Purchaser agree in writing on the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Reference Adjusted Working Capital (whether such amounts are the same as or different from the amounts set forth in the Working Capital Statement) during the Negotiation Period, the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Reference Adjusted Working Capital shall be the amounts agreed upon by the Parties.

(e) If Seller and Purchaser do not agree in writing on the Closing Adjusted Working Capital or the Reference Adjusted Working Capital prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, each Party shall (A) jointly engage Plante Moran, or, if such firm declines to serve as accounting arbiter or the Parties agree in writing not to engage such firm, such other firm of independent public accountants as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller (the

 

48


Accounting Arbiter”) and (B) submit to the Accounting Arbiter, not later than 15 days after the end of the Negotiation Period, a statement containing its calculation of the items in dispute (each, an “Arbiter Statement”), which shall include only those items set forth in the Objection Notice that remain in dispute at the expiration of the Negotiation Period. The Accounting Arbiter, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall make a final and binding determination as to all matters in dispute as promptly as practicable after its appointment. In determining the proper amount of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and/or the Reference Adjusted Working Capital, as applicable, the Accounting Arbiter shall be bound by the terms of this Section 2.6 and may not increase the amount of any item in dispute above the highest amount set forth in the Arbiter Statement nor decrease any such amount below the lowest amount set forth in the Arbiter Statement. The Accounting Arbiter shall not review any line items or make any determination with respect to any matter other than those matters set forth in the Arbiter Statement. The Accounting Arbiter shall send its written determination of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and/or the Reference Adjusted Working Capital, as applicable, to Seller and Purchaser, and such determination and calculation shall be final and binding on the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbiter shall be borne by Purchaser and Seller in inverse proportion to the dollar amount of the items in dispute set forth in the Arbiter Statements as to which such Party prevails in the accounting arbitration, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Arbiter at the time it renders its determination on the merits of the matters in dispute. The Accounting Arbiter may not award damages, interest or penalties to any party with respect to any matter.

(f) Once a final and binding determination of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Reference Adjusted Working Capital has been made in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 2.6: (i) if the Closing Adjusted Working Capital is greater than the sum of $10 million plus the Reference Adjusted Working Capital, then Purchaser shall make a payment to Seller in accordance with Section 2.6(g) equal to the difference between (A) the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and (B) the sum of $10 million plus the Reference Adjusted Working Capital; (ii) if the Closing Adjusted Working Capital is less than the sum of the Reference Adjusted Working Capital less $10 million, then Seller shall make a payment to Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.6(g) equal to the difference between (X) the sum of the Reference Adjusted Working Capital less $10 million and (Y) the Closing Adjusted Working Capital; or (iii) if the Closing Adjusted Working Capital is equal to or greater than the sum of the Reference Adjusted Working Capital less $10 million and equal to or less than the sum of the Reference Adjusted Working Capital plus $10 million, then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to make any payment to the other pursuant to this Section 2.6.

(g) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6(f) shall be made no later than five (5) Business Days after a final and binding determination of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Reference Adjusted Working Capital has been made in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 2.6 (the “Payment Date”) in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as is designated in writing by the Party receiving such payment; provided that if such payment required to be made exceeds $5 million, then $5 million shall be paid no later than the Payment Date and the amount of the payment exceeding $5 million shall be paid no later than the first anniversary of the Payment Date.

 

49


(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.6 to the contrary, if any BFN Irrevocable Offer has not been accepted as of the Closing by the relevant BFN Seller, then the Parties will cooperate in good faith to reasonably agree on an equitable adjustment to the figures set forth in clause (a) of the definitions of PI Reference Accounts Payable, PI Reference Accounts Receivable, PI Reference Inventory, DI Reference Accounts Payable, DI Reference Accounts Receivable and DI Reference Inventory to reflect the exclusion of the relevant BFN Assets and BFN Swiss Assets from the calculation of Reference Adjusted Working Capital and Closing Adjusted Working Capital.

Section 2.7 Contingent Purchase Price Adjustment. So long as Purchaser operates the Business in a commercially reasonable manner and as if this Section 2.7 and Schedule II did not exist, Seller shall pay to Purchaser in cash the amounts that may become due from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of Schedule II, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35 million.

71


environmental site assessments on the Transferred Real Property and the other Real Property set forth on Section 5.4(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule) and (y) Seller’s accountants, legal counsel, financial advisors and other authorized outside representatives; provided, however, that any such (i) access shall be conducted at Purchaser’s expense, in accordance with Law (including any applicable Antitrust Law and Bankruptcy Law), at a reasonable time, under the supervision of the Seller Parties’ personnel and in such a manner as to maintain confidentiality and not to interfere with the normal operations of the businesses of the Seller Parties and their Affiliates, and (ii) the Seller Parties will not be required to provide to Purchaser access to or copies of any personnel records, books, files or other documentation relating to the Employees other than the Transferred Employee Records. In addition, prior to the Closing, Seller shall furnish Purchaser with such monthly internal management reports concerning the Business as are prepared in the Ordinary Course. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.4(a) shall be directed to an executive officer of Seller or such Person as may be designated by any such officer.

In each case (other than with respect to worker’s compensation insurance), such policies shall insure Seller, Purchaser, Seller’s property manager (if any), and such other parties as Seller shall reasonably request, and Purchaser shall deliver to Seller evidence of insurance verifying such coverage prior to entry upon the Real Property. Purchaser shall also (i) promptly pay when due the costs of all inspections and examinations done by Purchaser or on Purchaser’s behalf with regard to such Real Property; (ii) cause all such inspections to be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all Laws; (iii) upon termination of this Agreement other than by reason of Seller’s default, at Seller’s written request, promptly furnish to Seller copies of any Third Party studies, reports or test results received by Purchaser regarding such Real Property in connection with any such inspections; and (iv) restore such Real Property to the condition in which it was found before any such entry upon the Real Property and inspection or examination was undertaken. Purchaser shall not communicate with or contact any tenant of Seller or any of Seller’s vendors or consultants about the Business or such Real Property without the prior written consent of Seller, in Seller’s reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no destructive testing or sampling of surface or subsurface soils, surface water, groundwater, or any materials in, on or under any Real Property, shall be conducted during any entry by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s authorized agents or representatives upon such Real Property without Seller’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event Seller consents in writing to any such testing or sampling, Purchaser will, and will cause its agents and representatives to, conduct such activities in accordance with the terms and limitations, if any, set forth in Seller’s consent.

Section 5.5 Public Announcements. Subject to (a) the provisions of Section 7.3(b) with respect to communications and announcements to the Employees and the employees of Purchaser and (b) each Party’s disclosure obligations imposed by Law (including any obligations under any Bankruptcy Laws or the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of each Party or any of its Affiliates are listed), during the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with the other Party in the development and distribution of all news releases, other public information disclosures and announcements relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any of the Transactions; provided, however, that (x) Seller shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any court or to any liquidator and show appropriate figures in their administration records, accounts and returns and (y) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to discuss all matters related to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements with the Pension Regulator of the United Kingdom and the Pension Protection Fund.

Section 5.6 Further Actions.

(a) If a Party proposes prior to Closing a change in the terms or structure of this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions that would avoid costs and expenses or would otherwise be more efficient from a tax, legal, commercial or other perspective, the Parties will consider and discuss in good faith the proposed change and the equitable allocation of its benefits and, if the Parties mutually agree on such proposed change, will reasonably cooperate in amending the terms or structure of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions, in each case, as necessary to effect such change; provided, however, that the principle in respect of any equitable allocation of benefits shall be that the benefits shall first be allocated such that neither Party nor its Affiliates have any unreimbursed cost, loss or liability but shall otherwise remain where they fall provided further that no Party shall have any obligation to make any change the net of which effect (after taking into account of any benefits allocation) is adverse (whether from a tax, legal, commercial or other perspective) to such Party and its Affiliates in such Party’s reasonable determination. In addition and to the extent that it does not involve any change in the terms or structure of this Agreement, any of the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions (whether because this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements envisaged more than one possible option in any respect or otherwise), Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and to procure that their respective Affiliates will cooperate with Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing to enable Purchaser and Seller to put in place a sale and acquisition structure which meets the Tax and commercial objectives of Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to take any step pursuant to this Section 5.6(a) which would give rise to an unreimbursed cost, loss or liability of Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates which would not otherwise have arisen; and provided, further, that the Party requesting such assistance shall indemnify the other Party for any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred with respect to such assistance.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Closing, Kodak shall instruct all relevant outside counsel of the Seller Parties (i) that the ownership of Business Registered IP has been assigned to Purchaser, (ii) to release to Purchaser or Purchaser’s counsel designated by Purchaser copies (which may be electronic copies) of all documentation relating to the Business Registered IP and prosecution thereof existing as of the Closing Date in the possession of such outside counsel, and (iii) that Purchaser or Purchaser’s counsel designated by Purchaser may contact such outside counsel relative to prosecution of the Transferred Intellectual Property at Purchaser’s expense, as applicable.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, each of the Parties shall execute and deliver such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the Transactions, including the execution and delivery of such assignments, deeds and other documents as may be necessary to transfer any Transferred Assets as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Tax Determination. Seller shall, and shall cause the Other Sellers to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts, at Purchaser’s request, to cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain a written confirmation from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs that the transactions described in Schedule I do not constitute an “unauthorized employer payment” (as such term is defined in Section 160(4) of the United Kingdom’s Finance Act of 2004).

(a) To the extent that any Seller Contract, Shared Contract or any other Transferred Asset is not capable of being assigned (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, partially assigned) to Purchaser on the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any Transferred Asset that is an asset provided for in Section 7.1(d)(ii), transferred to a Purchaser Employer Plan) at the Closing (or as soon as practicable after Closing) as contemplated by this Agreement either under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Laws or the terms of any such Seller Contract, Shared Contract or Transferred Asset (i) without the Consent of any Third Party or a Government Entity, or consummating the Transactions without such Consent would result in a breach, default, violation or contravention under any Seller Contract or Shared Contract or (ii) without the formation or establishment of a Foreign Acquisition Entity to purchase or receive, as applicable, the Transferred Assets located in a particular jurisdiction (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Assets”), this Agreement will not constitute an assignment thereof, or an attempted assignment, unless and until any such Consent is obtained or Foreign Acquisition Entity formed or established, as appropriate, including any Consents obtained or Foreign Acquisition Entity is formed or established, as appropriate, following the Closing. In the event that the sole reason that any Non-Assignable Asset (other than any Non-Assignable Asset that is an asset provided for in Section 7.1(d)(ii)) cannot be assigned to Purchaser is that a Foreign Acquisition Entity has not been formed by Purchaser in an applicable jurisdiction, then Seller shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and assume, all of the equity interests of the Person in which such Non-Assignable Assets are held, or (ii) transfer such Non-Assignable Assets to an existing Subsidiary of Seller existing in the applicable jurisdiction and sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and assume, all of the equity interests in such Subsidiary of Seller, and, in both of the foregoing cases, such sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and delivery shall fully satisfy Seller’s obligations with respect to such Non-Assignable Assets hereunder and Seller shall have no further liability with respect to such sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered Person(s) thereafter. Until any such Consent is obtained or Foreign Acquisition Entity is formed or established, as appropriate, Seller and Purchaser will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with each other to agree upon and implement a commercially reasonable arrangement between Seller and Purchaser to provide Purchaser the substantially similar interests, benefits and rights, and subject Purchaser to the substantially similar obligations and Liabilities, under any such Non-Assignable Assets (including any Tax obligations related to any such Non-Assignable Assets) as the applicable Seller had immediately prior to the Closing, including the actual economic benefit of such Non-Assignable Assets. In the event that Transferred Assets that are assets provided for in Section 7.1(d)(ii) are prevented from transferring until any such Consent is obtained or Foreign Acquisition Entity is formed or established, as appropriate, or until a Purchaser Employee Plan is established and able to receive such assets, Seller and Purchaser agree that they will cooperate in good faith to put in place a commercially reasonable solution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that all or substantially all of the Transferred Assets (other than Transferred Assets that are assets provided for in Section 7.1(d)(ii)) operated in a particular jurisdiction constitute Non-Assignable Assets, (x) the Employees in such jurisdiction (“Deferred Employees”) shall transfer to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates in accordance with Article VII on the date substantially all of such Non-Assignable Assets are assigned to Purchaser (or, if earlier, the date on which a Deferred Employee’s employment automatically transfers to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates as

 

80


required by the Acquired Rights) (the “Deferred Employee Transfer Date”) and (y) if necessary to provide the services of such Deferred Employees prior to the Deferred Employee Transfer Date, Seller and Purchaser will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with each other to agree upon and implement a commercially reasonable arrangement between Seller and Purchaser to provide Purchaser with the benefit of the services provided to the Business by the Deferred Employees. Purchaser shall reimburse the relevant Seller Party in accordance with such agreed upon arrangements and indemnify and hold each Seller Party harmless from and against all Liabilities, incurred or asserted, as a result of any actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.12. The Parties acknowledge that the fact that any Transferred Asset constitutes a Non-Assignable Asset shall not (1) constitute a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, (2) entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement or fail to consummate the Transactions, (3) result in any reduction of the Purchase Price payable hereunder or (4) otherwise result in any of Seller having any liability whatsoever to Purchaser or its Affiliates. Any Non-Assignable Asset assigned pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.12 shall, when assigned, constitute a Transferred Asset hereunder from and after such date.

(b) For the purposes of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of Seller contained herein, the relevant Seller and the Debtor Subsidiary Sellers shall be deemed to have obtained all required Consents in respect of the assignment of any Assigned 365 Debtor Contract if, and to the extent that, pursuant to the Settlement and Sale Order, Seller and the Debtor Subsidiary Sellers are authorized to assume and assign (or, in the case of a Shared Contract, partially assign) to Purchaser such Assigned 365 Debtor Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and any applicable Cure Costs have been satisfied as provided in Section 2.1(h).

Section 5.13 Post-Closing Assistance for Litigation.

(a) After the Closing, Purchaser shall, upon the request of Seller, use commercially reasonable efforts to require the Transferred Employees to make themselves reasonably available at reasonable times and cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller and its Subsidiaries in the preparation for, and defense of, any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action (whether disclosed or not disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule) filed or claimed against Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of Seller and its Subsidiaries, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the obligations of Purchaser hereunder shall extend only to the Transferred Employees who remain employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries as of the date of Seller’s request and shall not apply to former employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries who have been terminated prior to such date and shall not obligate Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser and its Affiliates for their reasonable costs (including allocated costs of employee time) of providing the services pursuant to this Section 5.13(a).

(b) After the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon the request of Purchaser, use commercially reasonable efforts to require their employees that were not Transferred Employees to make themselves reasonably available and cooperate in all reasonable respects with Purchaser and its Affiliates in the preparation for, and defense of, any

 

81


lawsuit, arbitration or other Action filed or claimed against Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any of the respective agents, directors, officers and employees of any of the foregoing, whether currently pending or asserted in the future, concerning the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the obligations of Seller hereunder shall only extend to the employees of Seller and its Subsidiaries as of the date of Purchaser’s request and shall not apply to former employees of Seller or its Subsidiaries that have been terminated prior to such date and shall not obligate Seller or its Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any such employee. Purchaser shall reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for their reasonable costs (including allocated costs of employee time) of providing the services pursuant to this Section 5.13(b).

(c) After the Closing, Seller shall, upon the request of Purchaser and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, use reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser documentation and reasonable assistance in asserting a defense in any lawsuit, arbitration or other Action filed or claimed against Purchaser where such defense arises from or is based upon a release, license, covenant not to sue or other right in favor of Seller or its Affiliates that is primarily related to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the ownership, use, function or value of any Transferred Asset or the operation of the Business, but solely to the extent Purchaser, as a purchaser of the Transferred Assets or otherwise as the successor-in-interest of Seller in respect of the Transferred Assets, may benefit from any such release, license, covenant not to sue or other right without impairing Seller’s rights under any such release, license, covenant not to sue or other right.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.13, (i) no Party shall have any obligation pursuant to this Section 5.13 in connection with any litigation in which the interests of the Parties or their respective Affiliates are adverse to one another and (ii) nothing herein shall require any Party or any of its Subsidiaries or employees to disclose any information to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement, it being understood that such first Party shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to the other Party to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement.

Section 5.14 Insurance Matters.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.14(b), coverage of the Covered Assets and Persons (excluding those in respect of the Non-Assignable Assets) under Seller Insurance Policies shall cease as of the Closing and the Covered Assets and Persons will be deleted in all respects as insured (or additional insured, as the case may be) under all Seller Insurance Policies.

(b) After the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain any Directors & Officers Liability insurance policies in place on the date of this Agreement and or put in place between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date with respect to any Transferred Employee who was a director or officer of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date, with respect to any actions or events occurring prior to the Closing Date, for a period of six (6) years beginning on the Closing Date.

 

82


(c) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain those workers’ compensation insurance policies in place on the date of this Agreement or put in place between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date with respect to the Employees.

Section 5.15 Deposits, Guarantees and Other Credit Support of the Business.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that in the course of conducting the Business, Seller and its Affiliates may have entered into various arrangements in which guarantees, credit support, letters of credit, bonds, cash deposits or similar arrangements were issued by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates in order to support or facilitate the Business (each, if and solely to the extent relating to the Business, a “Seller Guarantee” and all such arrangements collectively, the “Seller Guarantees”). These Seller Guarantees may also be further supported by cash deposits, collateral assets or other support arrangements under the DIP Facilities of Seller or its Affiliates or other lines of credit (“Supporting Collateral”). Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:

 

  (i) Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure (a) the release of the Seller Guarantees set forth on Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule by the applicable counterparty concurrently with the Closing, or otherwise as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, and (b) the release or return to Seller or its applicable Affiliate of all Supporting Collateral as may be the case (it being understood that under no circumstances shall Seller or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates be required to make any payment in connection with the release of any Seller Guarantee);

 

  (ii) with respect to each Seller Guarantee set forth on Section 5.15 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule for which Purchaser or Seller does not obtain a release and the release or return of all Supporting Collateral, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a Hold Harmless Agreement with respect to each such Seller Guarantee concurrently with the Closing; and

 

  (iii) Purchaser shall not amend, modify or renew any Contract subject to any Seller Guarantee during the period following the Closing Date without the consent of Seller in its sole discretion unless, pursuant to or prior to such amendment, modification or renewal, Seller’s and Seller’s Affiliates continuing obligation has been extinguished and neither Seller nor its Affiliates has any continuing liability thereunder.

 

83


Section 5.16 Maintenance of Books and Records. After the Closing, Purchaser shall preserve or cause to be preserved, until at least the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, all pre-Closing Date records to the extent relating to the Business possessed or to be possessed by Purchaser or its Affiliates. After the Closing Date and up until the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, upon any reasonable request from Seller or its representatives, Purchaser shall, and/or shall cause the Person holding such records to, provide Seller or its representatives with copies of such records; provided that in each case Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such request; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Purchaser to disclose any information to Seller (a) in connection with any litigation in which the interests of the Parties or their respective Affiliates are adverse to one another or (b) if such disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege which Purchaser or its Affiliates is entitled to claim or contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement (it being understood that Purchaser shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to Seller to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement). Such records shall be provided under this Section 5.16 for any reasonable purpose, including to the extent reasonably required in connection with accounting, Tax, litigation, federal securities disclosure or other similar needs of Seller (other than claims between Seller and Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any and all such records may be destroyed by Purchaser if Purchaser sends to Seller written notice of its intent to destroy such records, specifying in reasonable detail the contents of the records to be destroyed; such records may then be destroyed after the 30th day following such notice unless Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller desires to obtain possession of such records, in which event Purchaser shall transfer or cause to be transferred the records to Seller and Seller shall pay all reasonable expenses of Purchaser in connection therewith and (y) Purchaser shall not be required to provide Seller access to, or copies of, any Tax records that relate to any Post-Closing Taxable Period.

Section 5.17 Transition Services; Day-One and Separation Planning.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that the Attachments attached to the form of Transition Services Agreement contained in Exhibit D reflect a preliminary list of Transition Services and are not in a final agreed form (such preliminary attachments, collectively, the “General Scope of Services”). Accordingly, the Parties agree that, from and after the execution of this Agreement, they will negotiate in good faith to finalize the Transition Services Agreement and agree on final Attachments to the Transition Services Agreement prior to the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to Closing, the Parties shall complete the Services Worksheet for the Transition Services Agreement, and shall complete the Statement of Work (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) for each Transition Service to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement, including without limitation filling in the Kodak Transfer Price (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) for each such service, in accordance with the principles set forth on Attachment A to the form of Transition Services Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D. In addition, prior to the Closing, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and agree upon a Reverse Transition Services Agreement, which shall contemplate the provision of services and support from the Business to Seller and its Affiliates (the “Reverse Transition Services Agreement”), and shall complete a Statement of Work (to be defined in the Reverse

 

84


Transition Services Agreement) for each service to be provided under the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, including filling in the Business Transfer Price (to be defined in the Reverse Transition Services Agreement) for each such service, in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 5.17(a). The Parties agree that all such cooperation and negotiation, and the finalization of the Transition Services Agreement and the Reverse Transition Services Agreement will be subject to the following general principles and conditions:

 

  (i) subject to clause (ii) below, (A) the services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services”) will include all material services and support that have been provided by Seller or its Affiliates to the Business prior to the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, other than services contemplated to be excluded on Attachment A to the form of Transition Services Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D and (B) the services to be provided under the Reverse Transition Services Agreement (the “Reverse Transition Services”) will include all material services and support that have been provided by the Transferred Employees to Seller or its Affiliates prior to the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transition Services and the Reverse Transition Services will not necessarily be limited to the services described in the General Scope of Services.

 

  (ii) the Transition Services and the Reverse Transition Services will not include any service the provision of which, in Seller’s or Purchaser’s reasonable opinion (as the case may be), would violate any Law;

 

  (iii) the Transition Services and Reverse Transition Services will include all material services (other than services contemplated to be excluded on Attachment A to the form of Transition Services Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D) reasonably necessary to facilitate the uninterrupted continuation of the Business, and the business of the applicable Affiliates of Seller receiving services and support from the Business, and the Transition Services will not include any service that is not reasonably necessary or convenient, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion, to permit Purchaser to carry on the Business after the Closing in a manner materially consistent with the operation of the Business as at the Closing, and the Reverse Transition Services will not include any service that is not reasonably necessary or convenient, in Seller’s reasonable opinion, to permit Seller and its Affiliates to carry on their respective businesses after the Closing in a manner materially consistent with the operation of such businesses as at the Closing; and

 

85


  (iv) the Reverse Transition Services Agreement shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Transition Services Agreement (reversed as appropriate), except to the extent inapplicable in the context of the Reverse Transition Services Agreement.

(b) The Transition Services and the Reverse Transition Services shall be provided in such manner and pursuant to such terms (including terms and pricing) as are set forth in the Transition Services Agreement and the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, respectively.

(c) Prior to the Closing, if the Seller Parties determine that a Consent (as such term is defined in Section 2.2 of each of the Transition Services Agreement and the Reverse Transition Services Agreement) can reasonably be obtained without unreasonable effort or expense, the Seller Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consents from Third Parties, including Third Party service providers, to the extent necessary to perform and provide the services contemplated under the Transition Services Agreement and the Reverse Transition Services Agreement.

(d) In the event of any dispute between the Parties in connection with the finalization of the Transition Services Agreement or the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, including the identification and specification of Transition Services and Reverse Transition Services and completion of the Attachments and Statements of Work to the Transition Services Agreement or the Reverse Transition Services Agreement, each Party shall designate a senior executive or representative reasonably acceptable to the other Party to handle such dispute and the Parties shall cause such designee(s) to meet as promptly as practicable and use their respective reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute within a reasonable period of time. If such individuals are unable to resolve the disputes in a timely manner, the Parties shall cooperate to subject the matters in dispute to a third party mediator or arbitrator mutually acceptable to the Parties. The senior executives or representatives designated by the Parties, or any third party designated by the Parties in connection with the dispute, shall apply the principles set forth in this Section 5.17, and in the Attachments to the form of Transition Services Agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D, in resolving any such disputes.

(e) For the purpose of allowing the Purchaser and its representatives to prepare to consummate the Closing, receive transfer of the Transferred Assets at Closing and operate the Business immediately upon Closing (“Day One Readiness”), and for the purpose of allowing the Purchaser and its representatives to design plans for, and to prepare for, the ultimate separation of the Business from Seller and the Seller Parties (the “Separation”), prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Parties to, upon advance notice and at no cost to Purchaser (i) provide Purchaser and its authorized representatives reasonable access, during regular business hours, to senior managers of the Business, functional heads of the various business lines within the Business and subject matter leads responsible for various aspects of the Business (collectively, the “Access Employees”); provided that all meetings or other contact with any of the Access Employees shall be first coordinated through Garry Hapeman or Mary Arter (or their designees); provided that such requests for meetings or other contact shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed, (ii) provide copies of such books, records, reports, files and other information as reasonably requested by Purchaser about the Business or that may be

 

86


necessary or helpful for Purchaser to prepare for Day One Readiness and/or to design and prepare for Separation, and (iii) cooperate with Purchaser to develop plans and timelines for Day-One Readiness and Separation. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall mutually agree on a comprehensive plan for Day-One Readiness, which shall provide a structure and design for the segregation of the Business from Seller and the Seller Parties prior to Closing, the purpose of which is intended to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the Business at Closing and to enable Purchaser to consummate the Closing, receive transfer of the Transferred Assets at Closing and operate the Business immediately upon Closing (the “Day-One Plan”). Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to implement the tasks contemplated to be taken by it in the Day-One Plan on the terms and conditions, and within the scheduled time periods, outlined in the Day-One Plan; provided that the Parties acknowledge that the time periods set forth in the Day-One Plan may shift based on various factors that arise after the development of the Day-One Plan.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing Sections 5.17(d) and 5.17(e), Purchaser may from time to time prior to the Closing request that Seller take certain actions related to Day-One Readiness and/or Separation that would not otherwise be required to be taken by Seller prior to the Closing under this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement (“Day-One Actions”). Seller will reasonably consider each such request in good faith, and Seller shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to perform any Day-One Actions. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to determine the nature, cost, payment terms, duration and scope of such Day-One Actions, and shall enter into a written statement of work (“SOW”) with respect to such Day-One Actions. Each such SOW shall become effective upon execution by the Parties, and shall be deemed to be included in and governed by the Transition Services Agreement as if the Transition Services Agreement were in effect as of the date of the SOW. If the Parties are unable to mutually agree upon any specific terms of any SOW for Day-One Actions, such dispute shall be subject to resolution in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 5.17(d) of this Agreement.

(g) To the extent that as of the Closing Date, any of the actions, deliverables or plans contemplated under the Day-One Plan have not been accomplished, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to design one or more workaround solutions so as to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the Business at Closing and enable Purchaser to consummate the Closing.

Section 5.18 Asset Transfers. Seller shall cause the Transferred Subsidiary to transfer, assign and deliver to Seller and/or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing the assets set forth in Section 5.17(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and shall cause the Transferred Subsidiary to terminate and settle as of the Closing any Intercompany Contract to which the Transferred Subsidiary is a party, in each case without cost or expense to the Transferred Subsidiary and without increasing the Liabilities of the Transferred Subsidiary (except as otherwise agreed in accordance with Section 5.30). For purposes of Article III (Representations and Warranties of Seller), the representations and warranties of Seller shall be deemed to be made as though the assets set forth in Section 5.17(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule were transferred as of the date of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5.17(b).

 

87


Section 5.19 Delivery of Information.

(a) Current Business Information.

 

  (i) Each Seller Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing all Current Business Information.

 

  (ii) Seller shall at or prior to the date that all Transition Services have concluded, deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser any Current Business Information not provided pursuant to clause (i).

(b) Historic Business Information. During the term of the Transition Services Agreement:

 

  (i) Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser Historic Business Information with a Record Age of less than five years and that are reasonably requested by Purchaser, provided that such Historic Business Information can be identified using commercially reasonable means, and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such delivery.

 

  (ii) The Parties shall confer in good faith in respect of any reasonable request for Historic Business Information with a Record Age of five years or more. Seller may, in its reasonable discretion, refuse any such request. If Seller agrees to deliver the requested information, Seller shall, in its sole discretion, determine the manner and timing of any such delivery, and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for its expenses incurred in connection with such delivery.

 

  (iii) Before beginning any work to deliver requested information under this 5.19(b), Seller shall provide Purchaser with an estimate of the expenses Seller anticipates it will incur in fulfilling Purchaser’s request for Historic Business Information. Seller shall not proceed with any such work until Purchaser has acknowledged receipt of the estimate and authorized Seller to proceed with such work in writing. If after receiving Seller’s estimate Purchaser does not provide such written authorization, Seller will be excused from any obligation to fulfill Purchaser’s request.

 

88


(c) Nothing in this Agreement will obligate Seller to deliver or cause to be delivered Business Information with a Record Age greater than seven (7) years.

(d) Cooperation. With respect to Current Business Information and Historic Business Information stored in Shared Systems, after the date hereof, the Parties will confer and determine in good faith how to transfer (or provide access to transfer) such records to Purchaser, including determining which Party is best positioned to extract such records after Closing and agreeing on reasonable formats to be used for extracts of such records and reasonable timeframes for delivery thereof by Seller to Purchaser in a manner that allows Purchaser to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course. The Parties will cooperate to ensure all such records are delivered to Purchaser at or prior to the date that all Transition Services have concluded.

(e) Combined Records.

 

  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and solely with respect to Combined Records, Seller reserves the right to redact or withhold from the delivery of any Combined Record otherwise required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.19 any information (A) the disclosure of which to Purchaser would cause Seller or any of its Affiliates to be in breach of a written or legal obligation of confidentiality to a Third Party in respect of such information (such information, “Third Party Confidential Information”), or (B) Seller considers in good faith to be competitively sensitive in its reasonable judgment (together with Third Party Confidential Information, collectively, “Sensitive Information”). Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such determination.

 

  (ii) Seller shall, on a confidential basis, make such Combined Records that it believes contains Sensitive Information available for examination, at Purchaser’s expense, by Purchaser’s outside counsel such that Purchaser’s outside counsel may evaluate Seller’s determination in respect of such Combined Records. If Purchaser’s outside counsel believes such a Combined Record does not contain Sensitive Information, Seller and Purchaser shall resolve such dispute through the dispute resolution process set forth in the Transition Services Agreement.

 

  (iii)

If Purchaser does not cause its outside counsel to review such Combined Records, or if Purchaser’s outside counsel agrees with Seller’s determination: (A) if Seller can withhold or redact Sensitive Information expending de minimis effort and for de minimis cost, or if Purchaser otherwise agrees to a method of removal or redaction of such Sensitive Information proposed by Seller, then Seller shall deliver the Combined Records with such Sensitive Information so redacted or removed; (B) if Seller cannot remove or redact such Sensitive Information expending

 

89


  de minimis effort and for de minimis cost, (1) Purchaser shall pay Seller’s costs incurred in removing or redacting such Sensitive Information, or (2) in the case of Third Party Confidential Information, Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the consent of the applicable Third Party or Third Parties (including Government Entities as required by Law) to allow Seller to disclose such Third Party Confidential Information.

 

  (iv) If Purchaser is unwilling to pay Seller’s costs incurred in removing or redacting such Sensitive Information, or if Seller and Purchaser are unable to secure the necessary consents to disclose such Third Party Confidential Information, then Seller will be excused from any obligation to fulfill Purchaser’s request with respect to the affected Combined Records.

(f) Transferred Employee Email. After the Closing Date, Transferred Employees may forward any of their electronic mail relating to the Business and residing in their Seller Party-provided electronic email accounts to any Purchaser-provided electronic email account.

Section 5.20 Obligations with Respect to Intellectual Property.

(a) Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, covenants that any subsequent sale, assignment, exclusive license or exclusive sublicense, or transfer of any or all of the Transferred Patents by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to a transferee shall be subject to the licenses, releases and rights granted to any licensee pursuant to any Permitted Patent Encumbrances, and Purchaser will impose on such immediate successor-in-interest or assigns an obligation to impose the obligations under this Section 5.20 on any immediate successors-in-interest or assigns with respect to the Transferred Patents of such immediate transferee.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Seller Parties shall terminate or cause to be terminated any license under or in respect of any Transferred Intellectual Property where the licensor and the licensee is Seller or any Seller Affiliate.

Section 5.21 Seller Non-Compete.

(a) During the Non-Compete Period, Seller will not, and will cause each of the Other Sellers and its or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, for its own account or on behalf of or together with any other Person, engage in, participate in, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of the Business, including by offering to customers any products or services that fall within the Business and that are intended to be offered as products and services to induce customers and prospective customers of Purchaser to choose Seller’s products and services over Purchaser’s products and services within the Business. Seller, the Other Sellers and its and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates are collectively referred to as the “Covered Seller Parties” and each individually referred to as a “Covered Seller Party.”

 

90


(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or in any way limit any Covered Seller Party from:

 

  (i) using, practicing, licensing, transferring, selling or otherwise exploiting in any manner, directly or indirectly, any Intellectual Property (including any Intellectual Property in Software) that is owned by or licensed to a Covered Seller Party following the Closing, subject to the rights granted therein pursuant to any applicable Ancillary Agreement, including enforcement of any Seller rights to Intellectual Property against other Persons for infringement and any settlements related thereto granting rights to Intellectual Property within the Business; provided that the primary purpose of such use, practice, license, transfer, sale or other exploitation is not to engage directly or indirectly, or facilitate the ability of another Person to engage directly or indirectly, in any business or activity that Seller is prohibited to engage in under Section 5.21(a);

 

  (ii) engaging, directly or indirectly, in the Commercial Imaging Business or any reasonably foreseeable extension thereof;

 

  (iii) engaging in any act contemplated or permitted by this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Agreements;

91

Applicable Law or the relevant Real Property Lease prohibits the subletting of the KEPS Plant to Purchaser or one or more Purchaser Assigns upon the Closing without obtaining all Consents required therefor. Accordingly, the Parties are intending to either (A) mutually agree on a sublease (on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) for the KEPS Plant to Purchaser, one or more Purchaser Assigns or the Transferred Subsidiary at or prior to the Closing or (B) enter

In the event the Seller Parties are unable to obtain the necessary Consents to authorize the execution and delivery of the Real Property Closing Documents for the assignment of any Real Property Lease relating to a manufacturing facility, then the applicable Seller Party and Purchaser shall enter into a mutually agreeable supply agreement for the activities conducted at such manufacturing facility until such time as the necessary Consents can be obtained.

  (i) If any Real Property Lease expires naturally pursuant to its terms after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, then Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to determine a mutually agreeable plan to provide Purchaser with substantially similar space at the same or lower cost as set forth in such Real Property Lease, whether by renewal of such Real Property Lease, entering into a replacement Real Property Lease or otherwise; it being expressly understood that Seller shall not enter into any new Real Property Lease or renewal of a Real Property Lease without Purchaser’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

  (ii) If any lease relating to a Shared Site expires naturally pursuant to its terms after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, then Seller shall take any and all actions necessary to provide Purchaser with substantially similar space at the same or lower cost as enjoyed by Purchaser as of the expiration of such lease, whether by renewal of such lease, entering into a replacement lease or otherwise, unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser in writing. This Section 5.25(j)(ii) shall survive the Closing.

  (ii) Purchaser shall review the Legal Entity Change and shall, within ten (10) Business Days of Seller providing the notice and information referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i), inform Seller of any changes to the Legal Entity Change it, in its sole discretion, requires.

 

  (iii) Where required by Purchaser under the immediately preceding clause (ii) to input changes to the Legal Entity Change and/or provide further information to Purchaser, Seller shall update the Legal Entity Change and/or provide such information as requested within ten (10) Business Days of Purchaser’s request.

 

  (iv) Subject to Purchaser’s satisfaction of the Legal Entity Change, Purchaser shall validate the Legal Entity Change.

 

105


  (v) Following receipt of an invoice from the ECHA by Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay any invoices associated with the Legal Entity Change detailed above, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of the invoice amount and details for its payment to the ECHA.

 

  (vi) Purchaser shall confirm completion of the transfer of the Substance Registrations upon receipt of such confirmation from the ECHA.

 

  (vii) Should for any reason the Substance Registrations not transfer to Purchaser, Purchaser and Seller shall, in good faith, repeat the steps set out in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 5.2(c) until all Substance Registrations are transferred to the satisfaction of Purchaser.

(d) Harrow Facility Emissions Trading Allowances and Compliance with EU ETS.

 

  (i) Prior to Closing Seller shall fully comply with its 2012 compliance obligations under the GHG Permit and the GHG Regulations and ensure that the Total 2012 Emissions Trading Allowances are surrendered on or before 30 April 2013 to cover the Reportable 2012 Emissions.

 

  (ii) As at the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer to Purchaser the Total 2013 Emissions Trading Allowances plus, at no cost, a volume of Emissions Trading Allowances equivalent to the amount (if any) by which Closing Estimated Reportable 2013 Emissions exceed pro rata the proportion of the Total 2013 Emissions Trading Allowances for the same period (the “2013 Estimated Emissions Allowances Shortfall”).

 

  (iii) As soon as reasonably practicable after Closing, Seller shall provide to Purchaser and the Independent Environmental Verifier a statement of the amount of its actual Closing Reportable 2013 Emissions, such statement to be verified by the Independent Environmental Verifier.

 

  (iv) If the Closing Reportable 2013 Emissions differ from the Closing Estimated Reportable 2013 Emissions for the corresponding period by a factor of ten percent (10%) or more, the parties shall undertake an Emissions Trading Allowance adjustment, calculated in accordance with Section 5.29(e).

 

106


(e) Emissions Trading Allowance Adjustment. If:

 

  (i) the Closing Reportable 2013 Emissions exceed the Closing Estimated Reportable 2013 Emissions for the corresponding period, Seller shall at its option either:

 

  (A) transfer to Purchaser a volume of Emissions Trading Allowances equal to:

 

  (1) the amount by which the Closing Reportable 2013 Emissions exceed pro rata the proportion of the Total 2013 Emissions Trading Allowances for the same period, less

 

  (2) the 2013 Estimated Emissions Allowances Shortfall transferred to Purchaser on Closing, or

 

  (B) pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the financial value attributable to the same volume of Emissions Trading Allowances as calculated in accordance with clause (A) above multiplied by the Agreed Carbon Price on the date of notification referred to in Section 5.29(d)(iii);

 

  (ii) the Closing Reportable 2013 Emissions are less than the Closing Estimated Reportable 2013 Emissions for the corresponding period, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the financial value attributable to:

 

  (A) the 2013 Estimated Emissions Allowances Shortfall transferred to Purchaser on Closing, less

 

  (B) the amount (if any) by which the Closing Reportable 2013 Emissions exceed pro rata the proportion of the Total 2013 Emissions Trading Allowances for the same period,

multiplied by the Agreed Carbon Price on the date of notification referred to in Section 5.29(d)(iii).

(f) Any transfer of Emissions Trading Allowances or payment of equivalent financial value pursuant to Section 5.29(e) shall be made not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date; or the date of the opinion addressed to Purchaser and Seller by the Independent Environmental Verifier, whichever is the later.

 

107


(g) Seller and Purchaser shall co-operate with and execute (or procure the execution of) such forms and provide such information as the other shall reasonably require with a view to ensuring that the GHG Permit and the EU ETS Registry Account are transferred to Purchaser or Purchaser’s nominee on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.

(h) After Closing and pending transfer of the GHG Permit and the EU ETS Registry Account as provided for in Section 5.29(g), Seller shall carry out (or procure the carrying out of) all reasonable written requests of Purchaser at Purchaser’s expense with respect to the administration and operation of the EU ETS Registry Account.

(i) Other than pursuant to the aforesaid provisions of this Section 5.29, Seller and KL agree that they shall not after the date of this Agreement make any request to transfer and/or surrender any of the Total 2013 Emissions Trading Allowances from the EU ETS Registry Account.

Section 5.30 Structure of Sale of the Transferred Subsidiary.

(a) Structure of Sale. The Parties acknowledge that as of the date hereof they have agreed to structure the sale of the Business of the Transferred Subsidiary to Purchaser as the sale of the stock in the Transferred Subsidiary to Purchaser or one or more Purchaser Assigns but have not reached an understanding on how to deal with the assets related to the printhead refurbishment business and with the cash and cash items (in the total amount of $57.4 million, as of March 31, 2013) currently owned by the Transferred Subsidiary, which (notwithstanding Section 2.1(c)) are not part of the assets of the Business and were not taken into account in determining the Purchase Price for the Business (the “KWCL Cash”). The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the structure of the transfer to Purchaser of the Business of the Transferred Subsidiary, including whether to structure it instead as a transfer or lease of the assets and assumption of the liabilities of the Transferred Subsidiary to and by Purchaser. The Parties acknowledge that the assets of the Transferred Subsidiary (other than the KWCL Cash) are an important part of the Business and shall be included in the transfer of the Business hereunder to Purchaser. The Parties agree that Purchaser will not be required to increase the Cash Price as a result of such structuring. The Parties also agree that in the event the Transfer of the Transferred Subsidiary is structured other than as a sale of the stock in the Transferred Subsidiary to Purchaser or one or more Purchaser Assigns and, as a result, Purchaser or such Purchaser Assign is to bear more Transfer Taxes (other than Recoupable Transfer Taxes) (“Additional Transfer Taxes”), the Transferred Subsidiary shall reimburse the Purchaser Assigns in RMB for the Additional Transfer Taxes. The Parties further agree that in structuring this transfer, Seller shall be entitled to retain the benefit of the KWCL Cash and that the Purchase Price and the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule did not take the printhead refurbishment assets and the KWCL Cash into account. If it is agreed that the land and building that is part of the Business will be leased to the Purchaser or one or more Purchaser Assigns, the Parties agree that the purchase price allocated to KWCL and to Seller may be adjusted to reflect such change, but that the overall Purchase Price will not change. To the extent that it is agreed to structure the transfer of the Transferred Subsidiary other than as a sale of the stock in the Transferred Subsidiary to Purchaser or one or more Purchaser Assigns, subject to the foregoing provisions relating to Transfer Taxes, the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities will apply mutatis mutandis to the transferred assets

 

108


and assumed liabilities of the Transferred Subsidiary, and the special provisions in Article VI and Section 6.5(b) applicable only to the Transferred Subsidiary and Section 6.1(a) shall not apply (and, instead, the other provisions of such Article VI shall apply).

(b) Tax Filings in the PRC. The Parties shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith before the Closing Date commercially reasonable time frames for making any applicable Tax payments to the Chinese Tax Authorities and for filing any applicable Tax returns with the Chinese Tax Authorities with respect to the Transferred Subsidiary.

Article VI

TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1 Transfer Taxes.

(a) All applicable Transfer Taxes that are not Recoupable Transfer Taxes and that may be imposed upon (or payable, collectible or incurred in connection with) this Agreement, the Transactions or the execution of any of the Ancillary Agreements (unless otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreement) shall be borne one-half by the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and one-half by Purchaser, on the other hand.

(b) Any Recoupable Transfer Tax shall be borne solely by Purchaser and if such Tax is required by applicable Law to be accounted for by a Seller Party, Purchaser shall pay the amount of such Tax to such Seller Party on the later of the day one Business Day before the last day on which the Seller Party can account for that Tax to the Tax Authority without giving rise to a charge to interest or penalties and five (5) Business Days after the relevant Seller Party has provided to Purchaser all relevant invoices or other relevant documentation which are required by applicable Law in order to claim a refund, credit or recoupment in respect of such Recoupable Transfer Tax. If any such invoices or documentation are to be provided by the relevant Seller Party, Seller shall provide or cause the Seller Party to provide any such invoices and documentation within the time period required by applicable Law.

(c) The Seller Parties and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes addressed in Sections 6.1(a) and (b) including taking any steps reasonably necessary (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any action that would impose any unreimbursed cost, loss or Liability on the Seller Parties or transferring any additional assets or providing additional services (other than assistance in dealing with a Tax Authority) which are not contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements) to ensure that, where possible, the transfer of any parts of the Business are treated as a transfer of a going concern for value added tax purposes. Each Transfer Tax Return shall be prepared by the Party that has primary responsibility for filing such Transfer Tax Return pursuant to the applicable Tax Laws. Any Transfer Tax Returns prepared by either Purchaser or Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) (along with such information as will enable the other Party to review such Transfer Tax Returns) shall be provided to the relevant Party at least 20 Business Days before such Transfer Tax Returns are due to be filed or such shorter period as is reasonable after the end of the period to which the Tax Return relates having regard to the date on which the Tax Return is due to be filed (taking into account

 

109


any extensions received from the relevant Tax Authorities) if the other Party is or may be accountable for any part of such Transfer Tax filed vis-à-vis the Party responsible for the filing. Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall be entitled to comment on any Transfer Tax Return prepared by the other Party prior to making any payment in respect thereof, such comments to be provided at least 13 Business Days (or such shorter period as is reasonable having regard to the date on which the Tax Return is due to be filed) before such Transfer Tax Returns are due to be filed, and in the event of disagreement on the relevant Tax Return between the Parties, a mutually agreed upon independent internationally recognized accounting firm will be retained to resolve solely any issue in dispute as promptly as possible. To the extent there are still disagreements between the Parties on the due date for filing the Tax Return, the Person responsible for filing the Tax Return shall file it based on what it considers to be the correct reporting, and if the determination of the independent accounting firm (or any agreement between the Parties) is inconsistent with the filed Tax Return, the Parties agree to file an amended return reflecting such determination or agreement. If Purchaser pays any amount in respect of value added tax to a Seller Party and the Tax Authority confirms that all or part of it was not properly chargeable, the Seller Party must repay the amount or relevant part of it to Purchaser. The Seller Party must make the repayment promptly after the confirmation, unless it has already accounted to the Tax Authority for the VAT. In those circumstances, the Seller Party must apply for a refund of the VAT (plus any interest payable by the Tax Authority), use its reasonable endeavours to obtain it as quickly as practicable, and pay to Purchaser the amount of the refund and any interest less any tax on the Seller Party in respect of such interest when and to the extent received from the Tax Authority.

Section 6.2 Withholding Taxes. (a) To the extent that Purchaser is required under the Code or any provision of U.S. state or local, or non-U.S. Law to deduct and withhold Taxes on any payment hereunder, Purchaser shall withhold and deduct from the Cash Price such required Tax withholdings, and such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deductions and withholdings were made. Purchaser shall promptly remit any withheld amounts to the appropriate Tax Authority and shall promptly provide Seller with a receipt or some other form of reasonable evidence of such remittance. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts and shall cooperate in good faith to determine and reduce the amount of withholding Taxes imposed on the transaction, including the provision by Seller or Seller Parties to Purchaser of any reasonable form necessary for that purpose. Seller shall promptly provide Purchaser with any information reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to determine the amount of tax (if any) required by Law to be withheld by Purchaser or its Affiliates from the Purchase Price.

(b) No later than 45 days after the date hereof (provided that Seller has complied with the last sentence of Section 6.2(a)), Purchaser shall provide Seller with a reasonably detailed good faith estimate (the “Withholding Tax Estimate”) of all withholding Taxes required to be withheld from the Purchase Price. Seller and Purchaser agree to consult and try to resolve in good faith any disputes related to such estimate. For the avoidance of doubt, however, the rights and obligations of the Parties pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall not be affected by the existence or amount of any inaccuracy in such estimate. In case the Parties are unable to reach an understanding on the amount of withholding tax, and there is a subsequent determination (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, or any other similar Law) that any amount of tax should not have been withheld by Purchaser or its Affiliates, Purchaser shall be

 

110


responsible to indemnify the Seller Parties for any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by the Seller Parties in obtaining such determination (but only to the extent of the amount of such costs allocable to the withholding tax that was disputed between the Parties).

Section 6.3 Proration of Certain Taxes.

(a) All real and personal property Taxes or similar ad valorem Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) levied with respect to the Transferred Assets for any taxable period that includes the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), whether imposed or assessed before or after the Closing Date, shall be allocated ratably to the period that ends on and includes the Closing Date (which shall be the responsibility of Seller), and the period that begins after the Closing Date (which shall be the responsibility of Purchaser) based on the number of days in the Straddle Period that are included in each period. All other Taxes (other than Taxes allocated under Section 6.1 and Taxes specially allocated under Sections 6.3(b) and (c)), shall be determined on a closing of the books method, as through the taxable period terminated at Closing, and allocated to Seller to the extent attributable to a pre-Closing period and to Purchaser to the extent attributable to a post-Closing period. Seller shall have the responsibility to file and remit any Tax Returns with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxable Period and Purchaser shall have the responsibility to file and remit any Tax Return with respect to a Straddle Period and the Party responsible for filing such Tax Return shall provide a copy of the Tax Return to the other Party for approval at least 20 days in advance of the due date for the filing and remitting of any Taxes due thereon if the other Party is or may be accountable for any part of such Tax filed or remitted vis-à-vis the Party responsible for the filing or remission in accordance with this Section 6.3(a). The Parties shall not unreasonably withhold their approval with respect to any such required Tax Returns.

(b) With respect to all invoices for accounts receivables issued by a Seller Party prior to the Closing and all invoices for accounts payable received by a Seller Party prior to the Closing, the Seller Party shall retain the legal obligation to report and make any related payments to the relevant Tax Authorities for the related value added Tax outputs and value added Tax inputs. With respect to all such invoices for accounts receivable and invoices for accounts payable that are transferred to or assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the parties recognize that Purchaser will be collecting the related value added Tax outputs from the customers and making payment of the related value added Tax inputs to the vendors. Accordingly, 30 days following the Closing, and every 30 days thereafter, the parties shall determine the net amount received or net amount paid by Purchaser in respect of such value added Tax outputs and value added Tax inputs, and if there is a net amount received, Purchaser shall pay that amount to Seller, and if there is a net amount paid, Seller shall pay that amount to Purchaser. It is the intent of this Section 6.3(b) that neither Seller nor Purchaser is economically benefitted or economically disadvantaged as a result of the value added Tax components of accounts receivables and account payables that relate to invoices issued prior to the Closing but which are collected or satisfied following the Closing.

(c) The Parties will apply principles similar to those in Section 6.3(b) in the case of any other similar Taxes (including sales Taxes) that are (i) the legal obligation of a Seller Party but that are components of accounts receivable or (ii) creditable or refundable to Seller but that are components of accounts payable that are transferred to or assumed by Purchaser, in each

 

111


case, pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and that would be collected or satisfied following the Closing. To avoid double counting, following the determination of the Closing Adjusted Working Capital and the Reference Adjusted Working Capital under Section 2.6(f), such adjustments shall be made to any payments made under 6.3(b) and 6.3(c) so as to take into account the net cash effect of the embedded amounts of indirect Taxes (of the type subject to netting under Sections 6.3(b) and 6.3(c)) which are included in the calculation of the payment under Section 2.6(f).

Section 6.4 Allocation of the Purchase Price.

(a) For all purposes, the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Seller Parties in accordance with Section 6.4(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”), or as Purchaser and Seller may otherwise reasonably agree.

(b) No later than 120 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and shall deliver to Seller a schedule, prepared consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and the working capital adjustment, allocating the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing Date to the Seller Parties and to the Transferred Assets and the Trademark License Agreements (the “Initial Allocation”). Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with any reasonably requested information requested by Seller for purposes of reviewing the Initial Allocation. Except as set forth below, the Initial Allocation shall become final and be binding upon Purchaser and the Seller Parties for all purposes of Tax reporting, provided, however, that if Seller disagrees with the Initial Allocation and Seller notifies Purchaser in writing of its disagreements within 60 days after having received the Initial Allocation, such Initial Allocation shall not become final and Seller and Purchaser agree to consult and resolve in good faith any disputed item. In the event the Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute within 30 days (or such other period as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the written notice to Purchaser of Seller’s objection, a mutually agreed upon independent nationally recognized accounting firm will be retained to resolve solely any issue in dispute as promptly as possible by deciding whether the valuation and related allocation of Purchaser or Seller is more consistent with applicable Law, and the determination of such firm shall be final with respect to such disputed issues. Purchaser and Seller shall then be bound by the Initial Allocation as adjusted to reflect the determination of such independent accounting firm and shall bear equally all costs of the independent accounting firm (the Initial Allocation, as finally determined under this Section 6.4(b), the “Final Allocation”).

(c) The Initial Allocation and the Final Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and any similar applicable foreign law. Any Assumed Liabilities shall be allocated to the Seller Party whose liability was assumed. The Initial Allocation and the Final Allocation shall be adjusted to reflect any changes in the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (including as a result of the payment of any indemnity or the working capital adjustment) under the principles set forth above. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a different allocation is required by the Bankruptcy Court, then the Initial Allocation and Final Allocation shall be modified as necessary to be consistent with such different allocation.

 

112


(d) Except as otherwise required by any determination (as defined under Section 1313 of the Code or similar provision of applicable law), the Parties agree (i) to be bound by the Final Allocation, and (ii) to act in accordance with the allocations contained in such Final Allocation for all purposes relating to Taxes and Transfer Taxes addressed in Section 6.1, including the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns and paying any Tax due thereon. The Parties acknowledge that some Transfer Tax Returns may be required to be filed prior to the determination of the Final Allocation. Therefore, if any Transfer Tax Return is required to be filed before the Final Allocation has been determined, the Parties agree to prepare and file such Tax Return consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and to negotiate in good faith the amount of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities (if relevant) allocated to each asset subject to Transfer Taxes. If, as of the due date for filing the Transfer Tax Return, any disagreements exist between the Parties on the amount that should be allocated to the relevant assets, the party responsible under law to file such Tax Return shall prepare such Tax Return consistently with what it considers to be the correct allocation, and to the extent that the Final Allocation is inconsistent with such allocation, to thereafter file amended Transfer Tax Returns consistent with the Final Allocation.

Section 6.5 Tax Indemnity.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article VI, (i) Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify Purchaser and the Transferred Subsidiary against and hold them harmless from, (A) all (I) Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiary (including any such liability imposed on the Transferred Subsidiary by virtue of being a member of an affiliated group that includes Seller and any Taxes arising as a result of the separation from any such affiliated group), and (II) Taxes of any kind relating to the Transferred Assets and the conduct or operation of the Business, in each case, for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, including any Straddle Period for which Seller is allocated a tax liability, (B) Taxes of the Seller Parties for any period that are not related to the Transferred Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business, and (C) Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 6.1 and (ii) Purchaser shall be liable for, and shall indemnify Seller and the Other Sellers against and hold them harmless from, (A) all (I) Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiary and (II) Taxes relating to the Transferred Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business, in each case, for all Tax periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date and (B) Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1. The apportionment of Taxes for Straddle Periods shall be governed by Section 6.3. For the avoidance of doubt, transactions outside the ordinary course of business that occur on the Closing Date but after the Closing shall be treated for purposes of this Section 6.5 as occurring on the day immediately following the Closing Day. A Party shall not be required to pay the other Party an indemnity under this Section to the extent of Losses to such other Party or any of its Affiliates that were caused or increased by any action of such other Party or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, (i) the current Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiary shall not be excluded from “Current Liabilities”, and the current Tax assets of the Transferred Subsidiary shall not be excluded from “Current Assets”, (ii) Seller and the Other Sellers shall not be responsible for any liability, accrual or reserve for Taxes that are Current Liabilities of the Transferred Subsidiary or Taxes that accrued after December 31,

 

113


2012, except for any Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiary which arise outside the ordinary course of business of such Transferred Subsidiary between December 31, 2012 and the Closing Date and (iii) Section 6.3(b) shall not apply to any value added taxes (and similar other taxes) of the Transferred Subsidiary (for the avoidance of doubt, after Closing, the Transferred Subsidiary and Purchaser shall be entitled to any value added tax collected from the customers and responsible for any value added tax paid to vendors, and shall be solely responsible to pay the Tax Authorities the value added tax taken into account in Current Liabilities and retain any credit or refund for value added taxes taken into account in Current Assets). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.5(b) shall relieve Seller of its obligation under Section 6.5(a) to indemnify Purchaser for any Taxes of a Transferred Subsidiary for Taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before December 31, 2012 and that do not appear on the Balance Sheet of The Transferred Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 or for any Taxes of the Transferred Subsidiary which arise outside the ordinary course of business of such Transferred Subsidiary between December 31, 2012 and the Closing Date. Likewise, Purchaser shall promptly pay Seller any amount of refund of Taxes (or credit or offset against Taxes) in respect of Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before December 31, 2012 that is received by a Transferred Subsidiary.

Section 6.6 Contests; Assistance and Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business, the Transferred Assets and the Transferred Subsidiary (including access to books and records, employees, contractors and representatives) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns (including, if applicable, full details of any capital goods to be transferred to Purchaser, the input VAT on which could be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of any Law requiring adjustments to the deduction of input VAT on capital goods, the dates and amounts of input VAT recovered in respect of these assets and the relevant VAT correction periods), the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax; provided, however, that if such requested information is contained within a document containing any unrelated information, only portions pertaining to such relevant information shall be furnished. The requesting party shall pay the other party any reasonable Third Party out-of-pocket costs incurred by the other party in providing such assistance. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall give Purchaser or Seller the right to see any consolidated or combined Tax Return that includes any Seller Party or Purchaser or any information unrelated to the Business or the Transferred Assets or the Transferred Subsidiary. After the Closing Date, each Party shall cooperate fully with the other Party in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with Tax Authorities regarding, any Tax Returns and payments in respect thereof that may materially adversely affect the other Party.

Section 6.7 Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or similar arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Transferred Subsidiary, on the other hand, shall be settled and/or terminated as to the Transferred Subsidiary as of the day prior to the Closing Date, and no payments which are owed by or to the Transferred Subsidiary pursuant thereto shall be made thereafter. After the Closing Date, neither the Transferred Subsidiary, on the one hand, nor Seller and its Subsidiaries (excluding the Transferred Subsidiary), on the other hand, shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder with respect to the other party or parties.

 

114


Section 6.8 No Tax Elections. Purchaser shall not make, and agrees to prevent the Transferred Subsidiary from making, any election pursuant to Section 338(g) of the Code or any similar provision of non-U.S. Law with respect to the Transferred Subsidiary without the written consent of Seller.

Section 6.9 Purchase Price Adjustment. The Parties agree that any indemnity payment made under this Agreement and any payment made under Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.

Article VII

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

Section 7.1 Employment Obligations.

(a) Employment Terms.

 

  (i) Where and to the extent that the transfer of the Business will constitute the transfer of an undertaking or business for the purposes of the Acquired Rights or the Employees are employees of the Transferred Subsidiary, and in either case the employment of the Employees will automatically transfer to Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, the employment of such Employees shall not be terminated upon the Closing and the rights, powers, duties, liabilities and obligations of any Seller Party to or in respect of such employees in respect of any contract of employment with such employees in force immediately before the Closing shall be transferred to Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates in accordance with the Acquired Rights or local employment or other Laws (including, if applicable, in accordance with the requirements of any applicable works council or other employee body agreement).

 

  (ii)

To the extent that Acquired Rights or the local employment or other Laws do not provide for the automatic transfer of employees upon the transfer of a business or part of a business as a going concern (or in any jurisdiction where the Acquired Rights or local employment or other Laws do provide for the automatic transfer of employees upon the transfer of a business or part of a business as a going concern but for any reason any Employee does not transfer automatically by operation of law or upon the transfer of the Transferred Subsidiary), Purchaser shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, within a reasonable number of Business Days determined by the Parties in good

 

115


  faith prior to the Closing Date (or within the period of time required by local Law), offer employment in writing to each Employee, and Purchaser and its Affiliates shall allow each such Employee no less than five (5) Business Days (or the period of time required by local Law) to consider such offer and shall notify Seller promptly (and in any event prior to Closing) whether each such offer has been accepted, rejected, remains outstanding or has not yet been issued because local Law requires otherwise. Each offer of employment made by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(ii) shall (1) be contingent on the Closing, (2) be contingent on such Employee entering into restrictive covenants comparable to those restrictive covenants that are in force immediately before the Closing between such Employee and any Seller Party, (3) be made in a manner consistent with applicable Law and provide for employment commencing on the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date), or, if such Employee is an STD Employee, on the later of the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date) and the date that such Employee returns to active service in accordance with the terms of such Employee’s leave unless otherwise required by applicable Law (such Closing Date, Deferred Employee Transfer Date or, with respect to an STD Employee, date of return to active service or other date required by applicable Law, the “Effective Hire Date”) and (4) provide for employment on the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment commencing on the Effective Hire Date; provided, that this Section 7.1(a)(ii)(4) shall not apply to the Selected Employees; and provided, further, that Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to offer employment to or hire any such STD Employee who does not return to active service prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date) unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Seller shall retain all Liabilities related to any STD Employees unless and until such STD Employee commences employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, at which time such STD Employee shall be treated as a Transferred Employee.

 

  (iii)

Purchaser and Seller shall each provide the other Party with information reasonably requested to verify that offers of employment are in compliance with Section 7.1(a)(ii) (to the extent that Purchaser is required to make offers of employment under Section 7.1(a)(ii)). As often as the Parties deem necessary in good faith, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller, in consultation with, and subject to final approval by, Purchaser, will update

 

116


  Sections 1.1(t)(i) and 1.1(t)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule to reflect changes prior to the Closing Date on account of (i) new hires to fill the open positions set forth in Section 5.7(xiv) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, (ii) attrition among the Employees, (iii) minor changes intended to correct good faith errors or omissions by Seller in determining which employees are Employees and (iv) any other change as mutually agreed on in good faith by Seller and Purchaser. Five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to the Purchaser (x) a final version of Sections 1.1(t)(i) and 1.1(t)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule setting forth all of the Employees and (y) a list of any Employee who is an STD Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, any action or obligation to be taken by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Closing shall be with respect to the Employees set forth in the final versions of Sections 1.1(t)(i) and 1.1(t)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule provided pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that where applicable local Laws preclude Purchaser from satisfying its obligations under Section 7.1 upon Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to satisfy its obligations by such later date as required by applicable local Laws.

 

  (iv) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no case later than thirty (30) Business Days before the Closing Date, Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Purchaser (i) any information, on an individualized basis for each Employee (if, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Purchaser, individualized information is required to satisfy Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.1), on the terms and conditions of employment that is necessary for Purchaser to determine the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment of the Transferred Employees and (ii) a list of each Employee who participates in a Transferred Employee Plan, including identification of such Transferred Employee Plan. As often as the Parties deem necessary in good faith, but in no case later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller, in consultation with Purchaser, will provide updated information described in this Section 7.1(a)(iv). Five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to the Purchaser a final version of the information described in this Section 7.1(a)(iv) concerning all Employees on the final versions of Sections 1.1(t)(i) and 1.1(t)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

 

  (v)

Except as may be required by applicable Law or this Article VII, as of the Effective Hire Date and through the 12 month period following the Effective Hire Date (such period, the

 

117


  Continuation Period”), the employment of Transferred Employees (other than the Selected Employees) shall be on the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment; provided, however, that Purchaser may in its sole discretion decide to provide certain Employees with more favorable terms and conditions of employment than the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Employee who transfers in accordance with the Acquired Rights, Purchaser shall maintain the terms and conditions of employment, compensation and benefits and working conditions in accordance with the Acquired Rights to the extent required by Law.

 

  (vi) The Parties agree to the rights and obligations set forth on Section 7.1(a)(vi) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule with respect to the Selected Employees.

 

  (vii) Effective at Closing (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date), the Seller Parties shall waive all applicable non-competes and non-solicits as to Purchaser concerning the Transferred Employees.

 

  (viii) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, pay the Selected Compensation Payments to each eligible Transferred Employee who, immediately prior to the Closing Date, participated in and qualified for such Selected Compensation Payments under the Seller Employee Plans listed on Section 1.1(k) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Such payment shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Seller Employee Plan listed on Section 1.1(k) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Seller shall provide Purchaser with true and correct copies of each Seller Employee Plan listed on Section 1.1(k) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Employee Benefits.

 

  (i)

After the date of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate promptly and in good faith in preparing the transition of the Transferred Employees as applicable from coverage under Seller Employee Plans to coverage under the Purchaser Employee Plans effective as of the Transferred Employee’s Effective Hire Date. Except as required by applicable Law and as otherwise provided in this Article VII or in Section 5.12(a), as of the applicable Effective Hire Date, the Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under the Seller Employee Plans (other than the Seller Employee Plans

 

118


  maintained by the Transferred Subsidiary) and shall commence participation in the Purchaser Employee Plans, subject to the terms and conditions of such Purchaser Employee Plans.

 

  (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser or one of its Affiliates shall, during the Continuation Period, maintain for the benefit of each Transferred Employee a severance or termination arrangement no less favorable than the severance or termination arrangement provided immediately prior to the applicable Effective Hire Date to such Transferred Employee by the Seller Party that previously employed such Transferred Employee.

 

  (iii) Seller shall remain liable and retain responsibility for, and continue to pay in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans, all medical, life insurance and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims incurred by such Transferred Employee (or his or her covered dependents) on or prior to the applicable Effective Hire Date, and shall remain liable for workers compensation claims (including medical, disability, permanency and expense claims) incurred by any Transferred Employee prior to the Effective Hire Date. Purchaser shall be liable and responsible for all expenses and benefits with respect to medical, life insurance and other welfare plan claims incurred by each Transferred Employee (or his or her covered dependents) on or after the applicable Effective Hire Date. For purposes of this Section 7.1(b)(iii), a claim is deemed incurred: in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of accidental death and dismemberment or workers compensation claims, when the event giving rise to the claim occurs; and in the case of a claim that results in a hospital admission, on the date of admission.

 

  (iv)

Each Transferred Employee (and their eligible dependents, as applicable) shall be eligible, effective as of the relevant Effective Hire Date and during the Continuation Period, to participate in and accrue benefits under the Purchaser Employee Plans on terms and conditions determined by Purchaser in accordance with the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment (unless otherwise required by applicable Law), as applicable. With respect to any Purchaser Employee Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA or would be considered a “welfare benefit plan” if it were subject to ERISA, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, (A) waive, to the extent waived under the

 

119


  comparable Seller Employee Plan, any eligibility periods, waiting periods, actively at work requirements and evidence of insurability or pre-existing condition limitations with respect to participation and coverage requirements and (B) make commercially reasonable efforts to cause such plans to honor any deductibles, co-payments, co-insurance or out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by any Transferred Employee (and his or her covered dependents) under comparable Seller Employee Plans during the portion of the applicable Purchaser Employee Plan year in which the applicable Effective Hire Date occurs.

 

  (v) The Transferred Employees shall be given credit for all service with any of the Seller Parties (and their respective predecessors), to the same extent as such service was credited for such purposes by any Seller Party, under each Purchaser Employee Plan in which such Transferred Employees are eligible to participate, effective as of the applicable Effective Hire Date for all purposes, including (A) eligibility to participate, eligibility for early retirement, vesting and benefit accrual (including, but not limited to, long service leave accruals in Australia, vacation and severance benefits); provided, that such service credit shall not be given (1) for purposes of benefit accrual under any Purchaser Employee Plan, other than a Transferred Employee Plan, that is a defined benefit pension plan, except as otherwise required by Law, or (2) to the extent that such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits, and (B) to the extent applicable to any non-U.S. Transferred Employees, seniority. For purposes of this paragraph a “pension plan” means only a retirement or termination plan that meets the definition of a “defined benefit pension plan” within the meaning of FAS87.

 

  (vi)

In the event that accrued and unused vacation days are not required by applicable Law to be paid out upon termination by the Seller Parties, Purchaser shall assume, honor and be responsible for any Liabilities in respect of all unused vacation days that are due and owing to the Transferred Employees (including, for the avoidance of doubt, both annual eligibility and carryover vacation days) as of their applicable Effective Hire Date, and Purchaser shall permit, or cause its relevant Affiliate to permit, the Transferred Employees to use such vacation days during the year in which the Closing occurs in accordance with Seller vacation policies in effect as of the Closing Date. During the year following the year in which the Closing occurs, each Transferred Employee (save where the Acquired Rights or other applicable Law provide otherwise) will be entitled to vacation under Purchaser’s vacation policies on terms determined by Purchaser in accordance with the

 

120


  Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment (unless otherwise required by applicable Law), as applicable; provided that, each Transferred Employee will be permitted to carryover from the year in which the Closing occurs into the year immediately following the year in which the Closing occurs (or, at Purchaser’s election, be paid out by Purchaser for) such number of unused vacation days that the Transferred Employee would have been permitted to carryover under Seller’s vacation policy applicable to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing.

 

  (vii) Seller shall be solely responsible for providing or discharging any and all notifications, benefits and liabilities to the Transferred Employees and any governmental authorities that are required by the WARN Act with respect to relocations, plant closings or terminations of employment, if applicable, that occur on or prior to the Closing (including all technical terminations of the Transferred Employees resulting from the Closing as may be required under applicable Law) and with respect to any Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee regardless of the date of such termination, provided that Purchaser has satisfied its obligations as set out in this Article VII, and Purchaser shall be solely responsible for any and all such matters that occur after the Closing. For purposes of this Section 7.1(b)(vii), a mass layoff shall be deemed to occur after the Closing if the mass layoff would not have occurred but for Purchaser’s failure to offer to employ the Transferred Employees in accordance with the terms of this Article VII; provided, that Seller has timely provided Purchaser with all information necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under this Article VII. The Parties shall cooperate in preparing and distributing any notices that Purchaser may desire to provide prior to the Closing in connection with actions by Purchaser after the Closing that would result in a notice requirement under the WARN Act.

 

  (viii)

Purchaser shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder (and any liability arising from the actions or inactions of Purchaser or its Affiliates with respect to such coverage) for all Transferred Employees who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries”, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, after the Closing Date. Seller shall be solely responsible for providing all Employees (and their dependents) with any notices required by COBRA with respect to any qualifying events that occur on or prior to the

 

121


  Closing Date and retain all obligations with respect to the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder for all Employees who do not become Transferred Employees; provided that the Transferred Subsidiary and Purchaser shall be liable for all obligations under COBRA in respect of current and former employees of the Transferred Subsidiary whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date under any Seller Employee Plans maintained by the Transferred Subsidiary.

 

  (ix) Neither Section 7.1(a) nor this Section 7.1(b) restricts the right of Purchaser to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing or, except as expressly provided in Section 7.1(a) or this Section 7.1(b) or as required by applicable Law, to modify the terms and conditions of employment applicable to any Transferred Employee after the Closing; provided that, to the extent that Seller has timely provided Purchaser with all information reasonably necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under this Article VII, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all Liabilities related to, any such termination or modification after the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any change in the terms or conditions of employment of an Employee who will transfer in accordance with the Acquired Rights). In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall (i) be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (ii) give any Third Party any right to enforce the provisions of this Article VII.

(c) Defined Contribution Pension Plans.

 

  (i)

Effective as of the Closing Date, or as promptly thereafter as may be administratively practicable, Purchaser shall cause a Purchaser Employee Plan that is intended to be a U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution pension plan (the “Purchaser U.S. Pension Replacement Plan”) to accept the enrollment of the Transferred Employees who participated in any of Seller’s U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution or defined benefit pension plans immediately prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall take all reasonable steps necessary to permit each Transferred Employee, if any, who shall receive an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from any of Seller’s U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution or defined benefit pension plans to rollover such eligible rollover distribution, including any associated loan of cash as part of any

 

122


  lump sum distribution to the extent permitted by the applicable Seller plan and applicable Law, into an account under a Purchaser U.S. Pension Replacement Plan as of the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date), or as promptly thereafter as may be administratively practicable.

 

  (ii) Effective as of the Closing Date, or as promptly thereafter as may be administratively practicable, and except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall cause Purchaser Employee Plans that are “defined contribution pension plans” within the meaning of FAS87 to accept the enrollment of any non-U.S. Transferred Employees who participated in any of Seller’s defined benefit pension plans in the jurisdictions with no Transferred Employee Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date. In addition, Purchaser shall take all steps that are commercially reasonable to cause one or more analogous Purchaser Employee Plans to accept the enrollment of any non-U.S. Transferred Employees who participated in any Seller Employee Plan that is a “defined contribution pension plan” within the meaning of FAS87 immediately prior to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date) effective as of the Closing Date, or as promptly thereafter as may be administratively practicable, and, except where the assets in respect of a non-U.S. Transferred Employee in such “defined contribution pension plan” could be less than the Liabilities in respect of such non-U.S. Transferred Employee, or to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law, Seller shall cause to be transferred from each such plan the Liabilities and, as applicable, the assets for the account balances of those non-U.S. Transferred Employees as promptly after the Closing Date as may be administratively practicable.

(d) Defined Benefit Pension Plans.

 

  (i) Purchaser shall assume and be responsible in respect of each Transferred Employee who participated in a plan that is a “defined benefit pension plan” within the meaning of FAS87 as listed on Section 7.1(d)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule for the Liabilities in relation to that plan (each such plan, a “Transferred Employee Plan” and each such Transferred Employee, a “Pension Plan Employee”) on the Closing Date. Seller shall retain and be responsible for the Liabilities in respect of each Transferred Employee under every other plan that is a “defined benefit pension plan” within the meaning of FAS87 and is not listed on Section 7.1(d)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

 

123


  (ii) To the extent provided in Section 7.1(d)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall effect a transfer of assets from the Transferred Employee Plans in respect of the Liability for each Pension Plan Employee in such amounts as shall be reasonably determined by Seller’s actuary and in accordance with Section 7.1(d)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (or such greater amounts as may be required by applicable Law) (the “Transfer Amount”), and Purchaser shall cause a Purchaser Employee Plan to accept such assets. Seller shall select the kind of assets to be transferred if there are alternate forms of assets that may be transferred under local Law or existing Contract, provided that such form is reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and permitted under the Contract or rules governing the relevant Purchaser Employee Plan. For purposes of this Section 7.1(d)(ii), the amount to be transferred shall be adjusted to take into account benefit payments made from the Transferred Employee Plans to the applicable Pension Plan Employees after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer by Seller or its Affiliates (“Interim Pension Payments”). The Interim Pension Payments shall be reasonably determined by the applicable plan’s administrator in accordance with actuarial advice and administrative practice. Any transfer of assets pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(ii) shall be effected as soon as practicable after the Closing, but in any event within one (1) year after the Closing Date or, if later, the earliest date that is administratively practicable as reasonably determined by Seller; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the receipt of any approval required by any Government Entity.

Section 7.2 Assumed Employee Liabilities.

(a) Except as required by applicable Law, Seller Parties shall remain responsible for paying, and shall indemnify Purchaser against, any Liabilities concerning the Employees (including Transferred Employees) and former Employees arising out of any act or omission of any Seller Party occurring prior to and through the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date). In addition, for those Employees employed in Germany, Brazil, Canada, Korea, Sweden, Austria, and Venezuela, except as required by applicable Law, the Seller Parties shall remain responsible for paying, and shall indemnify Purchaser against, any Liabilities concerning any Employee (A) who refuses or objects to transfer to Purchaser in a jurisdiction where local Laws provide the Employee with the right to refuse or object to transfer to Purchaser or (B) who rejects an offer of employment with Purchaser (so long as the offer of employment by Purchaser complies with the requirements of Section 7.1(a)(ii)). Purchaser shall assume and be responsible for any Liabilities first arising out of or related to (I) any Transferred Employee’s post-Closing employment or termination of employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after his or her Effective Hire Date (including any claim for severance, any statutory, contractual or common law termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination and any other compensation or benefits to which the applicable Transferred Employee may be entitled upon a

 

124


termination of employment under any Law, plan, policy, practice or agreement in effect at the time of such termination of employment); (II) Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ failure to provide any required notice of continued employment or to offer employment, as applicable, to any Employee pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) or (ii) (including where the process by which an offer is made is not consistent with the requirements of applicable Law); (III) any claim for termination of employment (including any claim or Liability for severance, any statutory, contractual or common law termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination and any other compensation or benefits to which the applicable Employee may be entitled upon a termination of employment under any plan, policy, practice or agreement) of any Employee (other than a Selected Employee) who is not offered employment on the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment by Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii); (IV) violation by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates of any Law or agreement, including any employee contracts, with respect to any Transferred Employee; (V) any Purchaser Employee Plan or Transferred Employee Plan, whether such Liabilities arise prior to, on or after the Closing; and (VI) failure to assume any employment contracts with Employees who will transfer in accordance with the Acquired Rights; provided, that Seller shall assume and be responsible for any such claims and Liabilities discussed in this Section 7.2(a) if Seller has failed to timely provide Purchaser with all information reasonably necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under this Article VII.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article VII, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and any of its Affiliates from and against, and promptly pay Seller for, any Liabilities imposed on Seller or any of its Affiliates resulting from the violation of the Acquired Rights or other local Laws by Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any failure to provide Seller and any of its Affiliates with any proposed measures in relation to the treatment of Employees who will transfer in accordance with the Acquired Rights), and Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and any of its Affiliates from and against, and promptly pay Purchaser for, any Liabilities imposed on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates resulting from the violation of the Acquired Rights or other local Laws by Seller or its Affiliates. To the extent, due to the Acquired Rights or other applicable local Laws or otherwise, Seller or any of its Affiliates incurs any Liabilities sustained or incurred by the affected Person that would otherwise be assumed by Purchaser under Section 7.2(a), Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller or such Affiliate, as applicable, from and against, and promptly pay Seller for, such Liability.

(c) If any Person other than a Transferred Employee claims that as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement his contract of employment has transferred to Purchaser pursuant to the Acquired Rights or otherwise, the following process shall be followed:

 

  (i) Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing within seven (7) days of becoming aware of such claim (“Notification”);

 

  (ii) Purchaser may, at its option, within seven (7) days of “Notification” accept such Person’s claim and continue to employ them on terms similar to those which would have applied had such Person transferred as a Transferred Employee;

 

125


  (iii) within 21 days of Notification, provided Purchaser has not already confirmed that it is prepared to accept such Person’s claim, Seller may make, or may procure a Third Party to make, an offer of employment to such Person (in which case, Purchaser agrees at Seller’s request to release such Person immediately from its employment); and

 

  (iv) if no such offer is made, or is made and not accepted, Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser against any Liabilities arising from the dismissal of such Person (including the cost of providing salary and contractual benefits up to and including the date of such dismissal) provided any dismissal takes effect within 42 days of Notification (or, if applicable, within the period of time required by local Law) and on the minimum notice which can lawfully be given.

(d) In the event that Purchaser’s offer of employment to, or employment during the Continuation Period of, a Transferred Employee in accordance with the Minimum Terms and Conditions of Employment triggers any right to severance, any statutory, contractual or common law termination pay, pay in lieu of notice of termination or any other compensation or benefits to which a Transferred Employee may be entitled upon a termination of employment under any Law, plan, policy practice or agreement that covers such Transferred Employee (collectively, “Severance Payments”) that is payable by Seller or any of its Affiliates, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from any such Liability that arises in connection with such right; provided, that Purchaser shall have no such obligation to indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from any such Liability if Seller has failed to timely provide Purchaser with all information reasonably necessary for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under this Article VII, and likewise, that Purchaser shall have no such obligation to indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates harmless from any such Liability if Seller has failed to timely provide Purchaser with all information necessary for Purchaser to comply with local Laws setting forth information, notice or consultation requirements with trade unions, works’ councils, employees and/or employee representative bodies in connection with the Transactions as required by applicable local Law. To the extent that Purchaser does have an obligation to indemnify Seller, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a written notice not less than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date of payment (the “Severance Payment Date”) of any Severance Payments payable to the Transferred Employees, setting forth its good faith estimate of the aggregate Severance Payments to be paid to the applicable Transferred Employees as of the date of such notice (the “Estimated Severance Payment Amount”). Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Severance Payment Date, an amount in cash equal to the Estimated Severance Payment Amount. Within ten (10) Business Days after the Severance Payment Date, Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, in good faith and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Severance Payment Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the aggregate Severance Payments actually paid by Seller or any of its Affiliates (the “Actual Severance Payment Amount”) on the Severance Payment Date to the applicable Transferred Employees as of the relevant date (accompanied by reasonable support therefor). If: (a) the Actual Severance Payment Amount is greater than the Estimated Severance Payment Amount, then Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such excess; (b) the

 

126


Estimated Severance Payment Amount is greater than the Actual Severance Payment Amount, then Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such excess; or (c) the Estimated Severance Payment Amount is equal to the Actual Severance Payment Amount, then no payment will be made by either Seller or Purchaser. Any such payment made pursuant to this Section 7.2(d) shall be paid promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) after the delivery by Seller to Purchaser of the Severance Payment Statement, in cash in U.S. dollars, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the recipient of such funds.

Section 7.3 Other Employee Matters.

(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to cooperate to coordinate all employee-related Tax withholdings and reporting for the year in which the Closing occurs.

(b) After the date of this Agreement, upon reasonable advance written notice, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and assist Purchaser and its Affiliates in its communications with the Employees; provided that such cooperation shall be conducted at Purchaser’s expense and in such manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of Sellers and its Affiliates. If requested, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller Parties in respect of the development and distribution of any announcement and communication to the employees of the Seller Parties, including Employees, with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions; provided that such cooperation shall be conducted at the Seller Parties’ expense.

(c) Prior to the Closing (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date), (i) Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any Law or other legal requirement (whether statutory or pursuant to any written agreement with, or the constitution of, any works council or other employee body), to consult with any Employees, a relevant trade union, a relevant works council or any other employee representatives in relation to the Transactions, including the obligation to inform and consult with the Employees and their representatives pursuant to the Acquired Rights, (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with such information as Seller may reasonably request as is necessary to effectuate clause (i), and (iii) the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all relevant information and consultation with representatives of Employees who will transfer in accordance with the Acquired Rights takes place in good time.

(d) Prior to the Closing (or, if applicable, the Deferred Employee Transfer Date), Purchaser undertakes to keep the Employee Information in confidence including the following actions:

 

  (i) Purchaser shall restrict the disclosure of the Employee Information only to such of its respective employees, agents and advisors as is necessary for the purposes of complying with its obligations pursuant to this Agreement (and/or implementing the Transactions);

 

127


  (ii) the Employee Information shall not be used except for the purposes of complying with the obligations of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (and/or implementing the Transactions) and shall be returned to Seller or destroyed, at Seller’s election, if this Agreement is terminated; and

 

  (iii) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such additional obligations with respect to the confidential treatment of Employee Information as may be reasonably required in any particular jurisdiction to comply with any applicable data privacy Laws.

(e) Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with each other to provide for an orderly transition of the Transferred Employees from Seller and the Other Sellers to Purchaser and to minimize the disruption to the respective businesses of the Parties resulting from the Transactions.

(f) To the extent required by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Seller or Purchaser in order to give effect to the intentions of this Article VII, Seller and Purchaser (or their respective Affiliates, as applicable), will enter into mutually acceptable tripartite, employer substitution or similar agreements to provide for the transfer of Employees to Purchaser and/or one of its Affiliates.

(g) During the Non-Solicitation Period, without Seller’s advance written consent or as expressly permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, either directly or indirectly, either individually or acting in concert with another Person or Persons, solicit for employment or any similar arrangement, or hire, or assist any other Person in hiring, or otherwise use or solicit the services of (i) any of the employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) any former employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates until such time as the individual has not been employed by or provided services to, as applicable, Seller or any of its Affiliates for a continuous six (6) month period; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.3(g) shall prevent Purchaser from (x) conducting generalized employment searches, including placing bona fide public advertisements, that are not specifically targeted at such employees or former employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates or (y) hiring such employees or former employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates identified through such employment searches.

(h) During the Non-Solicitation Period, without Purchaser’s advance written consent, Seller shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, either directly or indirectly, either individually or acting in concert with another Person or Persons, solicit for employment or any similar arrangement, or hire, or assist any other Person in hiring, or otherwise use or solicit the services of (i) any of the employees of the Business, or (ii) any former employee of the Business until such time as the individual has not been employed by or provided services to the Business for a continuous six (6) month period; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.3(h) shall prevent Seller from (x) conducting generalized employment searches, including placing bona fide public advertisements, that are not specifically targeted at such employees or former employees of the Business, (y) hiring such employees or former employees of the Business

 

128


identified through such employment searches, except that under no circumstances shall Seller hire any Selected Employee who becomes employed by Purchaser prior to the 12 month anniversary of the Closing without Purchaser’s prior written consent unless such Person has been terminated by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser without cause, as determined by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser or (z) hiring or continuing to employ individuals who are employees of the Business as of the Closing Date but who do not become Transferred Employees.

(i) Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Article VII with respect to Transferred Employees are included for the sole benefit of Purchaser and Seller. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall (i) create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any other Person, including any current or former employees of Purchaser, Seller or their respective Affiliates, any participant in any Purchaser Employee Plan or the Seller Employee Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof or (ii) require Purchaser, Seller or any respective Affiliate to continue any Purchaser Employee Plan or the Seller Employee Plan or prevent or require or constitute or be construed as the amendment, modification or termination thereof, except as specifically set forth herein.

speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), except where the failure of any of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, would not prevent, impede or materially delay Purchaser’s ability to effect the Closing or to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article III (Representations and Warranties of Seller) shall be true and correct (without giving effect as to any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier) as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties of Seller to be so true and correct would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Covenants. Each of the covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement that are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall have been duly performed, except where the failure of Seller to perform such covenants and agreements would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

  (i) if the Settlement Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of such Party’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement has caused or resulted in such termination;

131


(c) by Purchaser if (i) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement, or any such representation and warranty shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement, such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) would not be satisfied and such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured prior to the earlier of (x) 30 days after written notice thereof is given by Purchaser to Seller and (y) one Business Day prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that Purchaser is not then in breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 not to be satisfied or (ii) (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 (excluding conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived and (B) Seller has failed to effect the Closing on the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3; or

Article X

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival. No representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Ancillary Agreements) shall survive beyond the Closing Date, except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms. No claim for indemnification may be asserted against any Party for breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein unless written notice of such claim is received by such Party describing in

 

132


reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the date on which the covenant or agreement on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in this Section 10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim for indemnification for which notice has been given prior to the date on which the covenant or agreement on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in this Section 10.1 may be prosecuted to conclusion (and such Party seeking indemnification shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Losses related thereto, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article X) notwithstanding the subsequent expiration of such period.

Section 10.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller Party, its Affiliates (other than the Transferred Subsidiary), and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, agents, representatives and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any Losses, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between the parties hereto, or otherwise but excluding Indirect Losses (subject to the limitations set forth herein, “Indemnified Losses”), arising out of or related to (a) the breach of or default in the performance by Purchaser of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement after Closing or (b) the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 10.3 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, jointly and severally, and each of the Other Sellers, severally and solely with respect to its own actions, circumstances and breaches (and solely to the extent such action, circumstance or breach is the cause of such Indemnified Loss), shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, agents, representatives and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any Indemnified Losses arising out of or related to (a) the breach of or default in the performance by Seller of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement after Closing or (b) the Excluded Liabilities; provided, however, that from and after the execution and delivery of any BFN Local Transfer Agreement

following the acceptance of the relevant BFN Irrevocable Offer, any Liabilities assumed by Purchaser or its designated Foreign Acquisition Entity pursuant to such BFN Local Transfer Agreement shall not be Excluded Liabilities for the purpose of this Section 10.3.

Section 10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party (an “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 30 days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to give a Claim Notice within 30 days shall affect the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder only to the extent that such failure has a prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by court proceeding in the event of a litigated matter) after receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

 

133


(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense at its expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such defense and to employ separate counsel of its choosing. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its expense unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party’s interests by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (ii) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 10.4(c), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third Party Claim on a basis that would result in (i) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) a finding or admission of a violation of Law (except Tax Law) or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iii) any monetary liability of the Indemnified Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party (i) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks injunctive relief that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (iii) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, at the reasonable request of the non-controlling party, inform the non-controlling party of the status of such Third Party Claim.

(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third Party Claim, including by providing access to each other’s relevant business records and other documents, and employees; it being understood that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party relating thereto shall be Losses.

(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable best efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

 

134


Section 10.5 Adjustments to Losses.

(a) Insurance. In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person in each case relating to the Third Party Claim or the Direct Claim, net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude or limit the coverage of all or part of such Loss. In the event that an Indemnified Party has any rights against a Third Party with respect to any occurrence, claim or loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article X, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of the Loss related to any such Direct Claim, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such Third Party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such Third Party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.

(b) Taxes. Any amount of any Loss for which reimbursement or indemnification is provided under Article VI (Tax Matters), Article VII (Employment Matters) or this Article X shall be (i) decreased by any Tax benefit actually realized as a decrease in Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of the incurrence or payment of any such Loss (including as a result of the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses), and (ii) increased by any Tax cost actually incurred as an increase in Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment so that the amount received by the Indemnified Party (or Affiliate) is the amount which it would have received had the Tax cost not been incurred. For purposes of this Section 10.5(b), the Seller Parties and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate in good faith as to the amounts of any adjustments pursuant to (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(c) Reimbursement. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a Third Party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article X, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the Third Party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of Loss.

(d) Mitigation. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnifiable Loss. In the event an Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that reasonably would have been avoided had the Indemnified Party made such efforts.

 

135


Article XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1 Remedies. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement by any Party will operate as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, remedy, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 11.2 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 11.3 Consent to Amendments; Waivers. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements unless such waiver is in writing, and then such waiver shall be limited to the circumstances set forth in such written waiver. This Agreement shall not be amended, altered or qualified except by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto or thereto, as the case may be.

Section 11.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations or novate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party (other than as provided in this Section 11.4). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, prior to Closing and following written notice to Seller no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of the assignment and/or novation, Purchaser shall assign and/or novate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, effective at Closing, to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Purchaser (each such entity, a “Purchaser Required Assign” and such assignment and/or novation, a “Required Transfer”) and shall cause the Purchaser Required Assign to execute and deliver the Ancillary Agreements at Closing; provided, that (a) a Required Transfer does not delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions or impair the rights of any Seller Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, (b) a Required Transfer does not result in additional Taxes being imposed on the Seller Parties or being withheld from the Purchase Price payable hereunder and (c) each Purchaser Required Assign shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Following the Required Transfers, a Purchaser Required Assign shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement or novate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Seller, provided that a Purchaser Required Assign may, following notice in writing to Seller no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of the assignment, delegation or novation, assign, delegate or novate all or some of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any direct or

 

136


indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a Purchaser Required Assign (each such entity a “Purchaser Permitted Assign” and together with each Purchaser Required Assign, a “Purchaser Assign”, and each such assignment, delegation or novation a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, further, that (x) all Purchaser Required Assigns remain jointly and severally liable with such Purchaser Permitted Assignee for all obligations of the Purchaser Required Assigns under this Agreement, (y) such Permitted Transfer does not delay or impede the consummation of the Transactions or impair the rights of any Seller Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements and (z) such Permitted Transfer does not result in additional Taxes being imposed on the Seller Parties or being withheld from the Purchase Price payable hereunder. Any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this Section 11.4 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.4 to the contrary, any obligation of any Party to the other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of such first Party, other than as a result of a Required Transfer or a Permitted Transfer, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 11.4 or in Section 5.6(a), Purchaser, rather than a Purchaser Assign, on Closing may enter into the Trademark License Agreements (or thereafter assign, novate or otherwise transfer the Trademark License Agreements to Purchaser or New Pension Plan or an Affiliate of New Pension Plan) and satisfy such part of the Purchase Price as is allocated to the Trademark License Agreements (in each case on its own behalf) with the consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 11.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any questions, claims, disputes, remedies or Actions arising from or related to this Agreement, and any relief or remedies sought by any Parties, shall be governed exclusively by the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state and without regard to the rules of conflict of Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party: (i) agrees that any claim, action or proceeding by such Party seeking any relief whatsoever arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought only in the Bankruptcy Court, if brought prior to the entry of a final decree closing the Bankruptcy Cases, and in the Federal Courts in the Southern District of New York and the state courts of the State of New York, County of New York (collectively, the “New York Courts”), if brought after entry of a final decree closing the Bankruptcy Cases, and shall not be brought, in each case, in any other court in the United States of America; (ii) agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and the New York Courts, as applicable, pursuant to the preceding clause (a) and this clause (b) for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions; (iii) waives and agrees not to assert any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of such Action brought in any such court or any claim that any such Action brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (iv) agrees that the mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.6 or any other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof; and (v) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

 

137


(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 0.

Section 11.7 Exhibits; Seller Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The Seller Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits attached hereto constitute a part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

(b) The disclosure of any matter in one section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, shall not be deemed to be a disclosure for any other section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule unless either (i) (x) it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure (and without reference to the contents of any Contract or document or other materials referenced in such disclosure) that such matter is pertinent to another section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and (y) such disclosure is only with respect to Article III, in which case such disclosure shall only modify other disclosure with respect to Article III, or (ii) an express cross-reference to such matter in such section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule is contained in such other section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. The mere inclusion of any item in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule as an exception to any representation or warranty or otherwise shall not be deemed to constitute an admission by Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, or to otherwise imply, that any such item has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise represents an exception or material fact, event or circumstance for the purposes of this Agreement, or that such item meets or exceeds a monetary or other threshold specified for disclosure in this Agreement. The sections or subsections of the Seller Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections of this Agreement. Matters disclosed in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters that are required by this Agreement to be disclosed therein. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature or impose any duty or obligation to disclose any information beyond what is required by this Agreement, and disclosure of such additional matters shall not affect, directly or indirectly, the interpretation of this Agreement or the scope of the disclosure obligations hereunder. The reference to any Contract or other documents or materials in any section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to include all terms and conditions of, and schedules and annexes to, such Contract or other document or materials that have been made available to Seller and its representatives or Purchaser and its representatives, as applicable. Headings inserted in the sections or subsections of the Seller Disclosure Schedule are for convenience of reference only and shall to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express terms of the sections or subsections as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

 

140


Section 11.9 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement, and all such prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties are hereby terminated. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between this Agreement and any of the other Ancillary Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, regardless of the fact that certain other Ancillary Agreements may be subject to different governing Laws.

Section 11.11 Availability of Equitable Relief. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief to prevent or remedy breaches of this Agreement, without the proof of actual damages, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions or Orders for specific performance in respect of such breaches. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy. Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.12 Bulk Sales Laws. Subject to the entry of the Settlement and Sale Order, each Party waives compliance by the other Party with any applicable bulk sales Law.

Section 11.13 Joint Negotiation. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 11.14 Headings. The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

EXECUTION VERSION

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

EASTMAN BUSINESS PARK

THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of June 17, 2013 (this “Settlement Agreement”), is entered into by and between Eastman Kodak Company (“Kodak”) and its affiliated debtors and debtors-in-possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) in case No. 12-10202 (ALG) (the “Bankruptcy Case”) currently pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”), and the New York State Urban Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Development, a public benefit corporation of the State of New York (“ESD”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

A. Kodak’s principal manufacturing facility in New York State is Eastman Business Park, a 1,200-acre technology center and industrial complex located in Monroe County, New York (the “Park”).

B. The Park includes businesses and provides services that are critically important to the economy and general welfare of the City of Rochester, Monroe County, New York, and New York State. It is in the interest of New York State to encourage the continued operation of the Park as a first class technology center and industrial complex.

C. Assuming the implementation of this Settlement Agreement and in consideration of the obligations of the other Parties hereunder, Kodak shall prosecute a chapter 11 plan of reorganization that contemplates Kodak’s continued (i) operation at the Park for at least ten years with operations including toner manufacturing, pigment milling and dispersion manufacturing, specialty chemical manufacturing and solvent recovery business lines (the “Kodak Business Lines”), (ii) maintenance at the Park of the research and development functions of the Kodak Technical Center, (iii) utilization of the integrated support systems servicing the Kodak Business Lines and Kodak Technical Center, (iv) operation of built-in and specially installed equipment which cannot be feasibly relocated, and (v) occupancy and use of a minimum square footage of space at the Park, as its owner or as a tenant on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

D. DEC has filed claims numbers 5775 through 5787 in the Bankruptcy Case (the “DEC Claims”) and have asserted various hazardous waste permit and corrective permit obligations (“Clean-Up Obligations”) against Kodak as owner and operator of the Park, and the United States has filed related claim 5609 with respect to historical Kodak discharges to the Genesee River.

E. In addition, Kodak has entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2012 (the “Initial Utility Purchase Agreement”), between Kodak and RED-Rochester LLC (“RED”), pursuant to which Kodak will sell to RED utility operations essential for the continued operation of the Park and RED will acquire such operations and assume certain related liabilities and obligations (the “Utility Purchase”). The consummation of the Utility Purchase is subject to, among other things, the receipt of certain approvals and/or assurances from DEC and ESD. Each of DEC and ESD has informed Kodak that it is currently unwilling to


provide the necessary approvals and/or assurances to satisfy the conditions to the Utility Purchase without the effectiveness of this Settlement Agreement, the establishment of the Trust (as defined below) and the amendment of the Initial Utility Purchase Agreement as contemplated hereby.

F. The parties wish to implement the consensual resolution of the DEC Claims and the Clean-Up Obligations, and to facilitate the receipt of the necessary approvals and/or assurances from DEC and ESD to consummate the Utility Purchase, in accordance with the terms of this Settlement Agreement.

G. Kodak and RED are entering into an amendment agreement with respect to the Initial Utility Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Utility Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which RED shall contribute not less than $8,500,000 of the funds necessary to establish the Trust subject to the consummation of the Utility Purchase and RED shall agree, as a condition of receiving a covenant not to sue from DEC, (i) to Treat Wastewater (as defined below) without cost or expense to the Trust and (ii) that any future transfer of the wastewater treatment center to a party that does not covenant to Treat Wastewater at no cost or expense to the Trust shall be null and void.

H. ESD and RED are entering into the ESD-RED Agreement (the “ESD-RED Agreement”), after which, upon the consummation of the Utility Purchase and the approval of New York Public Service Commission (“PSC”) in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, RED shall provide utility and other services at the Park in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE V

THE TRUST

5.1 Purpose of Trust. The purpose of the Trust shall be to provide funds to allow DEC to implement such EBP Environmental Response Actions as DEC deems reasonable and necessary, including investigation, environmental remediation, corrective action, post-closure care, operation and maintenance or monitoring at the Park and the Genesee River due to hazardous substances, hazardous waste, pollutants or petroleum products disposed of at, or otherwise emanating from, or which have emanated or been discharged from, the Park. Subject to Article 4.6 (DEC Cooperation), DEC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and without approval from Kodak or any third party, including any third party who takes any interest in the Park from Kodak, to direct the EBP Environmental Response Actions, including selection of trustees, any remedy and contractor(s) and consultant(s). Except as necessary to respond to an imminent and substantial risk to public health or the environment, DEC shall (a) undertake EBP Environmental Response Actions in a manner that does not result in any material disruption to current and planned commercial activities at the Park and (b) work with owners and tenants at the Park in good faith to minimize disruptions and any material adverse impacts to the continued use of the Park as a technology center and industrial complex.

5.2 Residual Trust Funds. Any funds remaining in the Trust upon completion of all required EBP Environmental Response Actions shall be distributed to DEC to be used for any lawful purpose in DEC’s sole discretion.

In order to assure implementation of the purposes of the Trust as set forth in Article 5.1 (Purpose of Trust) above, DEC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to direct and fund from the Trust EBP Environmental Response Actions or to elect to perform corrective action activities at the Park itself using Trust funds.

5.4 Trust Accounting. The Trust shall provide Kodak with an annual accounting. Upon reasonable request, but not more frequently than annually, DEC or the Trust shall provide a report to Kodak and any future Park owners which outlines EBP Environmental Response Actions completed in the preceding year and includes a projection of EBP Environmental Response Actions planned for the next year.

DEC Covenant


AGREEMENT WITH COVENANTS NOT TO SUE

INTRODUCTION

THIS AGREEMENT WITH COVENANTS NOT TO SUE (this “Covenant”) is made this          day of                     2013 by and between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) and Eastman Kodak Company (“Kodak”) (DEC and Kodak are collectively referred to as the “Parties”).

BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, Eastman Business Park (“EBP”) covers more than 1,100 acres and is located at 1669 Lake Avenue, in the City of Rochester and Town of Greece, New York. EBP includes more than 125 manufacturing buildings, 30 miles of roads, power generation facilities for steam and electricity, an industrial sewer system linked with the Kings Landing Treatment Facility, a sewer system linked to the Monroe County Sewage Treatment Facility, railroad infrastructure, fire department, water treatment facilities, a hazardous waste incinerator, and on-site landfills used for disposal of commercial and industrial wastes, including hazardous wastes.

WHEREAS, portions of EBP are presently owned and/or operated by Kodak as a debtor-in-possession in Bankruptcy Case No. 12-10202 (ALG) (the “Bankruptcy Case”) pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

WHEREAS, Kodak’s operations at EBP are subject to regulation by DEC pursuant to, inter alia, New York State Environmental Conservation Law (“ECL”); New York State Navigation Law (“NL”); the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”); the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”); the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and the Clean Water Act (“CWA”).

WHEREAS, There have been permitted and unpermitted air emissions, discharges of wastewater and storm water as well as releases of hazardous substances and hazardous wastes, as those terms are defined by 42 U.S.C. 9601(14), 42 U.S.C. 6903(5) and 6 NYCRR 371.1 which have resulted in contamination of soil and groundwater at EBP as well as sediments and surface waters in areas adjoining EBP. In response to contamination at EBP, DEC issued DEC Permit #8-2614-0205/00/04 (the “RCRA Permit”) to Kodak. DEC issued the RCRA Permit pursuant to 6 NYCRR 373. The RCRA Permit sets forth detailed operation, closure and post-closure care and maintenance requirements, as well as corrective action requirements for EBP.

WHEREAS, To address the threat to public health, welfare and the environment posed by the identified contamination at EBP, the RCRA Permit requires that Kodak take corrective action including without limitation operating a wastewater treatment system which collects storm water, contaminated groundwater from Kodak’s corrective actions required by the RCRA Permit as well as leachate and contaminated groundwater generated by the Weiland Road Landfill required pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 360 and Administrative Consent Order R8-1046-95-02 dated February 15, 1996.


WHEREAS, Portions of EBP have been designated as inactive hazardous waste disposal sites by DEC, including sites # 8288071; 828074; 828092 and 828082.

WHEREAS, Pollutants, hazardous substances and hazardous wastes have been discharged from EBP into the adjacent Genesee River. Investigations into conditions in the Genesee River and related dredge spoils are ongoing and response actions may be necessary to address the threat to public health, welfare and the environment posed by the contamination of the Genesee River caused by Kodak.

WHEREAS, Kodak’s financial status and bankruptcy may prevent Kodak from complying with all of the corrective action requirements of the RCRA Permit, the order and regulatory obligations governing Weiland Road Landfill, and otherwise responding to contamination at, or which has emanated from, EBP. As a result, Kodak has proposed funding an environmental response trust (the “Environmental Response Trust”) to address its obligations to DEC at EBP.

WHEREAS, DEC, the New York State Urban Development Corporation, doing business as Empire State Development (“ESD”), and Kodak entered into a Settlement Agreement, dated         , 2013 (the “Settlement Agreement”), governing the creation and use of the Environmental Response Trust and entry into this Covenant; and

WHEREAS, On or about                     , the Bankruptcy Court issued an order in the Bankruptcy Case approving the Settlement Agreement pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 9019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE VII

DEFINITIONS

7.1 Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, terms used in the Covenant that are defined in the ECL or the regulations promulgated thereunder shall have the meanings assigned to them in the ECL or such regulations. Wherever the terms listed below are used in this Covenant they shall have the following meanings:

Allowed Post-Petition Trust Claim” means the administrative claim against Kodak contemplated by Section 3.1(c) of the Settlement Agreement and defined therein as the “Allowed Post-Petition Trust Claim.”

EBP Parties” means any person or entity, whether or not affiliated with Kodak, that was not an owner or tenant of EBP on the date of the Settlement Agreement but that takes title or any interest in EBP from Kodak after the date of the Settlement Agreement pursuant to Article VII of this Covenant, that has or is alleged to have any present or future liability or responsibility to DEC, New York State, the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof with respect to any Pre-Existing Environmental Liability or any other environmental subsurface condition in existence prior to the Implementation Date at current and former parcels of the Park and historical discharges from the Park to the Genesee River.


Effective Date” means the date upon which both parties duly execute and deliver copies of this Covenant, the Settlement Agreement has been approved by an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court and all time periods to appeal the order have expired.

Laws” means applicable federal, state or local statutes, common-law, rules, regulations, consent orders or injunctions.

Pre-Existing Environmental Liability” means liabilities for conditions on, at, under or about EBP arising under any Laws for any spill, discharge, escape, release or threatened release of hazardous substances or hazardous wastes which occurred prior to the Effective Date including without limitation liabilities based upon: (i) contamination of soil, surface water, sediments or groundwater at EBP; (ii) contamination of sediments and surface waters in the Genesee River adjoining EBP which originated at EBP, or (iii) contamination due to on-going migration or passive emissions (including soil vapors) from hazardous substances or hazardous wastes which are the result of discharges or other events at EBP which occurred entirely prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that to the extent that any liability is due, in part, to discharges or other events which occurred prior to the Effective Date and, in part, to discharges or other events (including the negligent acts or omissions of Kodak) which occur after the Effective Date, then that portion of the liability which is caused by Kodak’s acts or omissions after the Effective Date shall not constitute a Pre-Existing Environmental Liability; and provided further that with regard to any building or equipment at EBP owned or operated by Kodak, the presence of asbestos; lead based paint; urea formaldehyde insulation; polychlorinated biphenyls; mercury; or any other hazardous substance as a component or constituent of any building, building material or equipment which exists prior to the Effective Date shall not render the condition a Pre-Existing Environmental Liability and Kodak shall comply with all Laws governing the management, abatement and/or disposal of such material to the extent triggered by or applicable to Kodak’s operation, demolition, modification or refurbishment of such building or equipment.

ARTICLE VIII

KODAK’S OPERATIONS

8.1 Kodak shall conduct its activities at EBP in compliance with applicable Laws and nothing contained in this Covenant shall be construed to authorize any unpermitted releases of any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or pollutants by Kodak or any operation or activity by Kodak in violation of the ECL or any applicable Laws.

ARTICLE IX

COVENANT NOT TO SUE

9.1 Upon Kodak’s payment in full of the Allowed Post-Petition Trust Claim, and subject to the reservation of claims and defenses set forth in Article VI hereof, the DEC hereby


covenants not to sue, execute judgment, or take any civil, judicial or administrative action under any federal, state, local, or common law or other actions for costs, damages, enforcement costs, interest, contribution or attorney’s fees (other than enforcement of this Covenant) against the EBP Parties for any Pre-Existing Environmental Liabilities at EBP.

9.2 Subject to the reservation of claims and defenses set forth in Article VI hereof, Kodak covenants not to assert any claims or causes of action under any federal, state, local, or common law against the DEC, or its employees, agencies or departments, or to seek against the DEC any costs, damages, contribution or attorneys’ fees arising out of or related to conditions at EBP or any Pre-Existing Environmental Liabilities.

ARTICLE X

CONTRIBUTION PROTECTION

10.1 To the extent authorized under 42 U.S.C. § 9613 and New York General Obligations Law § 15-108, Kodak shall be deemed to have resolved its liability to DEC for purposes of contribution protection provided by CERCLA Section 113(f)(2) for Pre-Existing Environmental Liabilities.

10.2 DEC shall not oppose any motion or application by Kodak in any subsequent proceeding which seeks the contribution protection that this Covenant is intended to provide to Kodak.

10.3 If DEC takes any action in connection with a Pre-Existing Environmental Liability, including without limitation any administrative proceeding, which results in any other third party asserting against Kodak a claim in the nature of contribution, which claim is based, in whole or in part, on the allegation that the claimant and Kodak share a common liability to DEC, then to the extent authorized under the ECL, the New York General Obligations Law § 15-108, and any other applicable law, upon written request by Kodak, DEC agrees to confirm to any administrative agency, court or tribunal that Kodak’s funding of the Environmental Response Trust performance of its obligations under the Settlement Agreement and this Covenant represent Kodak’s fair share of liability or responsibility to DEC for Pre-Existing Environmental Liabilities and DEC shall take any reasonable action requested by Kodak to modify DEC’s pleadings or judgment to ensure that Kodak is not exposed to claims in the nature of contribution; provided, however, that nothing in this Covenant shall obligate DEC to initiate any judicial proceeding, or otherwise initiate any action seeking a judicial declaratory ruling, for the benefit of Kodak.

ARTICLE XI

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1 Any determination by DEC that Kodak has liability or potential liability for or as a result of a condition on, at, under or about current and former parcels of EBP which DEC alleges is not a Pre-Existing Environmental Liability shall be subject to dispute resolution pursuant to this Article V, provided that (i) within 10 business days of receipt of a notice from


DEC that Kodak has liability or potential liability for or as a result of a condition on, at, under or about current and former parcels of EBP which DEC alleges is not a Pre-Existing Environmental Liability (a “Liability Notice”), Kodak requests in writing that the matter in dispute be resolved by the DEC’s Deputy Commissioner for Remediation and Materials Management (the “Deputy Commissioner”) and, (ii) within 30 calendar days of receipt of the Liability Notice, Kodak submits a written statement of the issues in dispute, which shall include the facts upon which the dispute is based, the factual data, analysis or opinion(s) supporting Kodak’s position, and all supporting documentation on which it relies, including, if applicable, affidavits and/or declarations (a “Statement of Position”). DEC shall serve its Statement of Position, and all supporting documentation, including, if applicable, affidavits and/or declarations no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of Kodak’s Statement of Position. Kodak shall have 10 business days after receipt of DEC’s Statement of Position within which to serve a reply. If Kodak does not timely comply with the requirements of this paragraph, then the DEC’s Liability Notice shall be deemed final and binding on Kodak. The time periods for the exchange of Statements of Position and replies may be modified upon Covenant in writing of the parties. An administrative record of any dispute under this paragraph shall be maintained by DEC. The record shall include the Statement of Position served by each Party and any relevant information submitted by a Party to the dispute. The record shall be available for review by Kodak and the public, consistent with the Freedom of Information Law (New York Public Officers Law Article 6).

11.2 Upon review of the administrative record as developed pursuant to Article 5.1 hereof, the Deputy Commissioner shall promptly issue a final decision resolving the dispute.

11.3 The invocation of formal dispute resolution procedures under this Article V shall not stay or excuse the performance of work required pursuant to the disputed DEC determination, or Liability Notice, except by written agreement of the DEC or by the Deputy Commissioner upon written application from Kodak. Kodak shall have the burden of establishing the necessity and appropriateness of such a stay or excuse based on the likelihood of success on the merits with respect to the matter in dispute and a balancing of the equities. The Deputy Commissioner’s decision not to grant an extension is subject to judicial review pursuant to paragraph D of this Article V. The decision of the Deputy Commissioner shall be final and binding upon Kodak unless within 30 calendar days of receipt of the Deputy Commissioner’s decision, Kodak petitions for review by a court of competent jurisdiction.

11.4 If Kodak invokes the dispute resolution provisions of this Article V, DEC’s Liability Notice shall not be set aside or revised by the court unless Kodak establishes that DEC’s position is arbitrary, capricious or not in accordance with law.

11.5 If DEC alleges that any liability is due, in part, to discharges or releases which occurred prior to the Effective Date and, in part, to discharges or releases (including by negligent acts or omissions of Kodak) which occur after the Effective Date, then traditional concepts of divisibility and causation may be used by either Party to apportion the liability which is alleged to have been caused by Kodak’s acts or omissions after the Effective Date.


ARTICLE XII

COVENANT TO APPLY TO EBP PARTIES

This Covenant shall remain effective and the protections and obligations of this Covenant shall apply, without further action by ESD, to each EBP Party as it applies to Kodak if and when the following conditions are satisfied:


  (a) DEC receives written notice of the identity of the EBP Party within 14 business days after the entity becomes an EBP Party;

 

  (b) the EBP Party undertakes all appropriate inquiry into previous ownership and uses of its portion of EBP;

 

  (c) the EBP Party agrees to be bound to this Covenant by duly executing and delivering a signature page to DEC in the form of the joinder agreement attached hereto as Annex A; and

 

  (d) upon acquiring any interest in EBP, the EBP Party duly reports any unpermitted spills, discharges, escapes, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances or hazardous wastes for the portions of EBP under its control in accordance with applicable Laws.

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.

40

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.

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.

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.

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. To the extent any Backstop Party or Permitted Claim Transferee (i) beneficially acquires additional Votable Claims, (ii) beneficially holds or acquires any other claims against the Debtors or (iii) beneficially holds or acquires any equity interests in the Debtors, each such Backstop Party and Permitted Claim Transferee agrees that such claims or equity interests shall be subject to Section 6.9 hereof.

Following the entry of the BCA Approval Order, the Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Party, its Affiliates, shareholders, members, partners and other equity holders, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Backstop Parties but subject to the last sentence of Section 2.5(c)) (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Amended Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offerings, the payment of the Backstop Commitment Fees or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offerings, or any breach by the Debtors of this Agreement, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the

 

51


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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

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.

Section 8.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

Section 8.6 No Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

(f) by the Company upon written notice to each Backstop Party if:

(i) subject to the right of the Backstop Parties to arrange an Backstop Party Replacement in accordance with Section 2.3(a), any Backstop Party shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by such Backstop Party in this Agreement or any such representation and warranty shall have become inaccurate after the date of this Agreement, and such breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(h) or Section 7.3(i), if continuing on the Closing Date, being satisfied and such breach or inaccuracy is not cured by such Backstop Party by the earlier of (A) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the giving of notice thereof to such Backstop Party by the Company and (B) the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Outside Date; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f)(i) if it is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder that would result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 being satisfied; or

Except as provided in Article VIII with respect to the Indemnified Persons, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement (including the agreements attached as Exhibits to and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except that the Parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed among the Parties will continue in full force and effect.

(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.

Section 10.4 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE PARTIES CONSENT AND AGREE THAT ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SUCH DISPUTES ARISE IN LAW OR EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. THE PARTIES CONSENT TO AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (I) SUCH PARTY IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, (II) SUCH PARTY AND SUCH PARTY’S PROPERTY IS IMMUNE FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS ISSUED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT OR (III) ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

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.

Section 10.8 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

60


Section 10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 10.10 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties will be liable for, and none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits.

No Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other Backstop Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Amended Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Backstop Parties, (b) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any other Backstop Party, (c) (i) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to the other Backstop Parties to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Backstop Parties any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may have been communicated to or obtained by such Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity and (ii) no Backstop Party may rely, and confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Backstop Party or any Person acting on behalf of such other Backstop Party may have conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective securities and (d) each Backstop Party acknowledges that no other Backstop Party is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its Backstop Shares or Backstop Commitment Percentage of its Backstop Commitment.

Section 10.13 Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings (other than a proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement).

599 Lexington Avenue, 39th Floor

New York, NY 10022

(877) 833-4150

These 1145 Rights Offering Procedures have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Rights Offering Procedures Order.

The 1145 Rights Offering, the distribution of each 1145 Right and the issuance of each 1145 Rights Offering Share are being conducted under the Amended Plan.

Each 1145 Right and 1145 Rights Offering Share is being distributed and issued by the Debtors without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption provided in section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

None of the 1145 Rights distributed in connection with these 1145 Rights Offering Procedures have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, nor any State or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security, and no 1145 Rights may be sold or transferred.

None of the 1145 Rights Offering Shares have been or will be registered under the Securities Act, nor any State or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security.

The 1145 Rights Offering is being conducted in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor or any of its agents that participates, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of a security, offered or sold under the plan, of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a newly organized successor to the debtor under the plan, is not liable, on account of such participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the offer, issuance, sale, or purchase of securities.

Please refer to Section [•] of the Amended Disclosure Statement and Article 5.8 of the Amended Plan for information regarding the issuance of New Common Stock pursuant to the Amended Plan, including applicable transfer restrictions. For a copy of the Amended Disclosure Statement or the Amended Plan, please contact the Subscription Agent or see the Debtors’ restructuring website (http://www.kccllc.net/kodak).

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

 

 

4 

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.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of New Common Stock will be issued.

All 1145 Rights Offering Shares issued in the 1145 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 1145 Rights Offering

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 1145 Eligible Participant intending to participate in the 1145 Rights Offering must affirmatively make a binding election to exercise its 1145 Rights on or prior to the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date, and submit payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds for all duly subscribed for 1145 Rights Offering Shares, so that such payment is actually received by the Subscription Agent on or prior to the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date.

 

-4-


To facilitate the exercise of the 1145 Rights, the Debtors will mail or cause to be mailed the 1145 Rights Exercise Form (i) on the 1145 Rights Offering Commencement Date, to each 1145 Eligible Participant that holds an 1145 Eligible Claim as of the Holding Record Date, or its intermediary, or (ii) within three Business Days of the 1145 Claim Determination Date, to each 1145 Eligible Participant whose Claim is or became an 1145 Eligible Claim, or whose 1145 Eligible Claim increases, as of the 1145 Claim Determination Date, or its intermediary, together with a copy of these 1145 Rights Offering Procedures and a set of instructions for the proper completion, due execution and timely delivery of the 1145 Rights Exercise Form and payment of the Subscription Purchase Price to the Subscription Agent.

To the extent that an 1145 Eligible Participant holds an Unsecured Notes Claim through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the Debtors will furnish or cause to be furnished an 1145 Rights Exercise Form to such 1145 Eligible Participant’s broker, bank, dealer, or other agent or nominee (a “Subscription Nominee”). 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.

3. 1145 Rights Offering Unsubscribed Shares

All 1145 Rights Offering Unsubscribed Shares shall be available for purchase in the 4(2) Rights Offering.

4. Exercise of 1145 Rights

In order to participate in the 1145 Rights Offering, each 1145 Eligible Participant must affirmatively make a binding election to exercise all or a portion of its 1145 Rights on or prior to the 1145 Rights Offering Expiration Date. 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.

 

-5-


Any difference between the Subscription Purchase Price actually paid by any 1145 Eligible Participant and the maximum Subscription Purchase Price payable by such 1145 Eligible Participant to purchase 1145 Rights Offering Shares shall be refunded to such 1145 Eligible Participant, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after refund amounts are determined by the Subscription Agent.

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.

 

-6-


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.

 

-7-


Funds

All funds (the “1145 Rights Offering Funds”) in connection with an 1145 Eligible Participant’s exercise of 1145 Rights pursuant to these 1145 Rights Offering Procedures shall be deposited when made and held in escrow by the Subscription Agent pending the Effective Date of the Amended Plan in an account or accounts (a) which shall be separate and apart from the Subscription Agent’s general operating funds and from any other funds subject to any lien or any cash collateral arrangements and (b) which segregated account or accounts will be maintained for the sole purpose of holding the 1145 Rights Offering Funds for administration of the 1145 Rights Offering.

The Subscription Agent shall not use the 1145 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 1145 Rights Offering Funds to be encumbered by any lien or similar encumbrance. No interest will be paid to 1145 Eligible Participants on account of any 1145 Rights Offering Funds or other amounts paid in connection with their exercise of 1145 Rights under any circumstances. The 1145 Rights Offering Funds shall not be property of the Debtors’ estates until the occurrence of the Effective Date.

All exercises of 1145 Rights are subject to and conditioned upon confirmation of the Amended Plan and the occurrence of the Effective Date. In the event that the Amended Plan is not confirmed and consummated on or prior to November 4, 2013, all 1145 Rights Offering Funds held by the Subscription Agent will be refunded, without interest, to each respective 1145 Eligible Participant as soon as reasonably practicable.

1145 Eligible Participant Release

Upon the Effective Date of the Amended Plan, each 1145 Eligible Participant that elects to exercise 1145 Rights shall be deemed, by virtue of such election, to have waived and released, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, all rights, claims or causes of action against the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, the Backstop Parties and the Subscription Agent, and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, counsel and advisors, arising out of or related to the 1145 Rights Offering and the receipt, delivery, disbursements, calculations, transmission or segregation of cash, 1145 Rights and 1145 Rights Offering Shares, except to the extent such rights, claims or causes of action arise from any act of gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct or fraud.

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.

-49-


8.4. Effect of Assumption

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, and the deemed waiver of any termination right or remedial provision arising under any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of its assumption, or as a result of such assumption, the transactions contemplated by the Plan or any changes in control or ownership of any Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases as a result of the implementation of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Executory Contracts with customers of the Debtors that are assumed pursuant to the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall remain obligated to honor any obligations set forth in such contracts to provide rebates or discounts, to the extent such rebates or discounts accrued but are not yet due under the terms of such contracts, in the ordinary course of business. Any Proofs of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has been assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged without further notice to, or action, order or approval of, the Bankruptcy Court, except in the event that the applicable Debtor and the counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease have separately agreed to a waiver or reduction of obligations that would otherwise constitute cure obligations, subject to the counterparties’ explicit retention of their rights to assert any such amounts as Unsecured Claims.

Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to this Article 8 or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, which has not been assigned to a third party on or prior to the Effective Date, shall vest in, and be fully enforceable by, the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms are modified by the provisions of the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court.

8.5. Assumption or Rejection of Disputed Contracts

Except as otherwise provided by order of the Bankruptcy Court, if there is a dispute as of the Effective Date regarding any of the terms or conditions for the assumption, assignment or cure of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (whether or not a Specified Contract) proposed by the Debtors to be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors or assumed and assigned to any other Person, the Reorganized Debtors shall have until 30 days after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to determine whether to (a) proceed with assumption (or assumption and assignment, as applicable) in a manner consistent with such Final Order or (b) reject the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. If the Reorganized Debtors elect to reject the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Reorganized Debtors shall send written notice of rejection to the applicable counterparty within such 30-day period and the counterparty may file a Proof of Claim arising out of rejection within 30 days after receipt of notice of rejection.

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.

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).

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.

-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.

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 contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing release does not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party under the Plan or any document, instrument or agreement (including those set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan.

Additionally, nothing in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, the Confirmation Order, the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code (including section 1141 thereof) or any other document filed in the Chapter 11 Cases shall in any way be construed to discharge, release, limit, or relieve the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party, in any capacity, from any liability or responsibility with respect to (a) any post-Effective Date obligation arising under the Internal Revenue Code, the Environmental Laws or any criminal laws of the United States or any state and local authority against the Released Parties or the

Nothing in the Plan will effectuate the transfer of the GOT Adversary Patents or rights in the GOT Royalties during the pendency of the GOT Adversary Proceeding.

12.8. Injunction

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, the satisfaction, release and discharge pursuant to this Article 12 shall also act as a permanent injunction against any Person who has held, holds or may hold Claims or Equity Interests against commencing or continuing any action, employment of process or act to collect, enforce, offset, recoup or recover any Claim or Cause of Action satisfied, released, or discharged under the Plan or the Confirmation Order to the fullest extent authorized or provided by the Bankruptcy Code, including to the extent provided for or authorized by sections 524 and 1141 thereof.

12.9. Limitations on Exculpations and Releases

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the releases or exculpations set forth herein shall operate to waive or release any Causes of Action of any Debtor against any Person: (a) arising under any contract, instrument, agreement, release or document delivered pursuant to the Plan or the Rights Offerings, or, in each case, documents, agreements or instruments executed in connection therewith or (b) expressly set forth in and preserved by the Plan, the Plan Supplement or related documents.

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

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.

-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.

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.

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.

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.
Termination of
Registration Rights:
   The Company’s obligation to register Registrable Securities for sale under the Securities Act shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the first date on which Registrable Securities having an aggregate market value of at least $25 million are no longer outstanding, (ii) the first date on which all outstanding Registrable Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 and the restrictive legends have been removed and (iii) the fifth anniversary of the Initial Registration.
Indemnification:    The Registration Rights Agreement shall include customary indemnification provisions to be mutually agreed.

“Total Target Cash Compensation” means the Participant’s annual base salary and annual variable pay opportunity at target, excluding any special performance-based or non-performance-based payments during the Performance Period.

ARTICLE 3 – Eligibility

Other Executives are eligible to participate in the Plan, provided that, certain Executives may not be eligible to participate in the Plan where the Company has designated them as participants in an alternative variable pay plan or sales incentive compensation plan for the Performance Period.

ARTICLE 4 – Plan Administration

4.1 Responsibility

The Committee shall have total and exclusive responsibility to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms.


4.2 Authority of the Committee

The Committee shall have all the authority that may be necessary or helpful to enable it to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Committee shall have the exclusive right: to interpret the Plan, to determine eligibility for participation in the Plan, to decide all questions concerning eligibility for and the amount of Awards payable under the Plan, to establish and administer the Performance Goals and certify whether, and to what extent, they are attained, to construe any ambiguous provision of the Plan, to correct any default, to supply any omission, to reconcile any inconsistency, to issue administrative guidelines as an aid to administer the Plan, to make regulations for carrying out the Plan and to make changes in such regulations as it from time to time deems proper, and to decide any and all questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan. In addition, in order to enable Executives who are foreign nationals or are employed outside the United States or both to receive Awards under the Plan, the Committee may adopt such amendments, procedures, regulations, subplans and the like as are necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the Committee, to effectuate the purposes of the Plan.

4.3 Discretionary Authority

The Committee shall have full discretionary authority in all matters related to the discharge of its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the Plan including, without limitation, its construction of the terms of the Plan and its determination of eligibility for participation and Awards under the Plan. It is the intent of Plan that the decisions of the Committee and its action with respect to the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having or claiming to have any right or interest in or under the Plan.

4.4 Section 162(m) of the Code

With regard to all Covered Employees, the Plan shall for all purposes be interpreted and construed in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code. All terms in this Plan referring to actions to be taken within the first 90 days of the Performance Period (or within the maximum period allowed pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code) are for the purpose of compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code, and in no event shall a failure to meet such timelines constitute a breach of the terms of the Plan.

4.5 Delegation of Authority

Except to the extent prohibited by law, the Committee may delegate some or all of its authority under the Plan to any person or persons as long as any such delegation is in writing; provided, however, only the Committee or a subset of the Committee consisting of at least two outside non-employee members, may select and grant Awards to Participants who are Covered Employees.

ARTICLE 5 – Form of Awards

All Awards will be paid in cash or Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Committee. To the extent an award is paid in Common Stock, such Stock will be issued under the 2005 Omnibus Long-Term Compensation Plan of Eastman Kodak Company, or any applicable successor plan.

ARTICLE 6 – Setting Performance Goals and Performance Formula

Within the first 90 days of a Performance Period (or, if longer, within the maximum period allowed pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall establish in writing:

 

(a) the one or more Performance Goals for the Performance Period based upon the Performance Criteria;

 

(b) the one or more Performance Formulas for the Performance Period;

 

(c) an objective means of allocating, on behalf of each Covered Employee, a portion of the Award Pool (not to exceed the amount set forth in Section 7.3(b)) to be granted, subject to the Committee’s exercise of Negative Discretion, for such Performance Period in the event the Performance Goals for such period are attained; and

 

(d) an administrative guide setting forth terms and conditions governing the Performance Period, which may include but not be limited to specific terms relating to the Performance Criteria, Performance Goals, Performance Formula or the manner in which the Performance Goals, Performance Criteria or Performance Formula shall be calculated or determined.

ARTICLE 7 – Award Determination

7.1 Certification

 

(a) In General. As soon as practicable following the availability of performance results for the completed Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the Company’s performance in relation to the Performance Goals for that period and certify in writing whether the Performance Goals were satisfied.

 

(b) 

Performance Goals Achieved. If the Committee certifies that the Performance Goals for a Performance Period were satisfied, it shall determine the Awards for such Performance Period by following the procedure described in Section 7.2. During the course of this procedure, the Committee shall certify in writing for the Performance Period the amount of: (i) the Award Pool; and (ii) the Award Pool to be allocated to each Covered Employee in accordance with Section 7.2(c).


(c) Performance Goals Not Achieved. In the event the Performance Goals for a Performance Period are not satisfied, the limitation contained in Section 7.3(c) shall apply to the Covered Employees.

7.2 Calculation of Awards

 

(a) In General. As detailed below in the succeeding provisions of this Section 7.2, the procedure for determining Awards for a Performance Period involves the following steps:

 

  (i) determining the Award Pool;

 

  (ii) allocating the Award Pool to Covered Employees;

 

  (iii) determining the Actual Award Pool; and

 

  (iv) allocating the Actual Award Pool among individual Participants other than Covered Employees.

Upon completion of this process, any Awards earned for the Performance Period shall be paid in accordance with Article 8.

 

(b) Determining Award Pool. The Committee shall determine the Award Pool for the Performance Period by applying the Performance Formula for such Performance Period against the Performance Goals for the same Performance Period.

 

(c) Allocating Award Pool to Covered Employees. The Committee shall determine, by way of the objective means established pursuant to Article 6, the portion of the Award Pool that is to be allocated to each Covered Employee for the Performance Period. The Committee shall have no discretion to increase the amount of any Covered Employee’s Award as so determined, but may through Negative Discretion reduce the amount of or totally eliminate such Award if it determines, in its absolute and sole discretion, that such a reduction or elimination is appropriate.

 

(d) Determining Actual Award Pool. The Committee may use its discretion to adjust upward or downward the amount of the Award Pool for any Performance Period. No such adjustment will, however, increase the amount of the Awards paid to the Covered Employees for the Performance Period as determined under Section 7.2(c). To the extent the Committee determines to exercise discretion with regard to the Award Pool for a Performance Period, the amount remaining after such adjustment shall be the Actual Award Pool for the Performance Period. Thus, if the Committee elects not to exercise discretion with respect to the Award Pool for a Performance Period, the amount of the Actual Award Pool for the Performance Period will equal the amount of the Award Pool for such period.

 

(e) Allocating Actual Award Pool to Individual Participants Other Than Covered Employees. The Chief Executive Officer shall, in his or her sole and absolute discretion, determine for each Participant, other than those that are Covered Employees or Section 16 Officers, the portion, if any, of the Actual Award Pool that will be awarded to such Participant for the Performance Period. By way of illustration, and not by way of limitation, the Chief Executive Officer may, but shall not be required to, consider: (1) the Participant’s position and level of responsibility, individual merit, and contribution to the success of the Company and Target Award; (2) the performance of the Company or the organizational unit of the Participant based upon attainment of financial and other performance criteria and goals; and (3) business unit, division or department achievements. For Section 16 Officers who are not Covered Employees, the Chief Executive Officer shall recommend the Award, if any, for each Participant to the Committee for its approval.

7.3 Limitations on Awards

The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall control over any Plan provision to the contrary.

 

(a) Maximum Award Pool. The total of all Awards granted for a Performance Period shall not exceed the amount of the Actual Award Pool for such Performance Period.

 

(b) Maximum Award Payable to Covered Employees. The maximum Award payable to any Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance Period shall be $5,000,000.

 

(c) Attainment of Performance Goals. The Performance Goals for a Performance Period must be achieved in order for a Covered Employee to receive an Award for such Performance Period.

ARTICLE 8 – Payment of Awards for a Performance Period

8.1 Termination of Employment

In general, except as set forth in this Section 8.1, a Participant must be employed on the last day of the Performance Period in order to be eligible to be considered for an Award under the Plan for the applicable Performance Period; provided that, in the administrative guide accompanying the Plan for each Performance Period, the Committee shall determine: (i) rules, if any, regarding the treatment of a Participant under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment under certain circumstances prior to the end of the Performance Period, and (ii) rules, if any, regarding the treatment of a Participant under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment under certain circumstances after the Performance Period but prior to the Award Payment Date(s). Any Award paid to a Participant whose employment terminates either prior to the end of the Performance Period or prior to the Award Payment Date(s) shall be determined according to Article 7 and shall be paid according to Section 8.2.


8.2 Timing of Award Payments

Unless deferred pursuant to Article 9 hereof , the Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants on the Award Payment Date(s) for such Performance Period, which date(s) shall occur during the calendar year immediately following the Performance Period.

ARTICLE 9 – Deferral of Awards

At the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, elect to defer payment of all or any part of any Award which the Participant might earn with respect to a Performance Period and which is paid in cash by complying with such procedures as the Committee may prescribe. Any Award, or portion thereof, upon which such an election is made shall be deferred into, and be subject to the terms, conditions and requirements of, the Eastman Kodak Employees’ Savings and Investment Plan or any other applicable deferred compensation plan of the Company.

ARTICLE 10 – Miscellaneous

10.1 Nonassignability

No Awards under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, transfer (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), assignment, pledge, or encumbrance, nor shall any Award be payable to anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted.

10.2 Withholding Taxes

The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment.

10.3 Amendments to Awards

The Committee may at any time unilaterally amend any unearned, deferred or unpaid Award, including, but not by way of limitation, Awards earned but not yet paid, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided, however, that any such amendment which, in the opinion of the Committee, is adverse to the Participant shall require the Participant’s consent, except in the case where an amendment to a Participant’s Award is due to the conduct of that Participant that is in violation of his or her employee’s agreement or is contrary to the best interest of the Company.

10.4 No Right to Continued Employment or Grants

Participation in the Plan shall not give any Executive any right to remain in the employ of the Company. Kodak or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary, reserves the right to terminate any Executive at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Executive or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award.

10.5 Amendment/Termination

The Committee may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time with or without prior notice. In addition, the Committee, or any person to whom the Committee has delegated the requisite authority, may, from time to time and with or without prior notice, amend the Plan in any manner, but may not without shareholder approval adopt any amendment which would require the vote of the shareholders of Kodak pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code, but only insofar as such amendment affects Covered Employees.

10.6 Governing Law

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except as superseded by applicable Federal Law, without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions.

10.7 No Right, Title, or Interest in Company Assets

To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company and the Participant shall not have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company. All of the Awards granted under the Plan shall be unfunded.

10.8 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences

No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, Kodak and its Subsidiaries and their directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, Federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to amounts deferred under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.


10.9 Compliance with Section 162(m)

If any provision of the Plan would cause the Awards granted to a Covered Employee not to constitute qualified Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, that provision, insofar as it pertains to the Covered Employee, shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of, this Plan, but the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

10.10 Exemption from Section 409A

The Plan is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and shall be construed and administered accordingly.

Exhibit 10.5

Eastman Kodak Company

Administrative Guide for the 2013 Performance Period

under the

Executive Compensation for Excellence and Leadership Plan

ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Under Article 4 of the Executive Compensation for Excellence and Leadership Plan (the “Plan”), the Restructuring and Executive Compensation Committee(the “Committee”) has exclusive responsibility to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms.

1.2 Purpose

This Administrative Guide governs the Committee’s grant of Awards for the Plan’s 2013 Performance Period. In addition, this Administrative Guide is intended to establish those requirements necessary to ensure that the Awards for the Performance Period will be treated as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee has determined that the Plan will not be treated as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code for the 2013 Performance Period. Unless otherwise noted in this Administrative Guide or determined by the Committee, the terms of the Plan shall apply to Awards granted under the Plan.

ARTICLE 2. DEFINITIONS

Any defined term used in this Administrative Guide, other than those specifically defined in this Administrative Guide, will have the same meaning as that given to it under the terms of the Plan.

2.1 Form 10-K Filing Date

The term “Form 10-K Filing Date” means the date that the Company files, with the Security and Exchange Commission, its Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2013.

2.2 Performance Gates

The term “Performance Gate” means a performance metric which must be achieved in order for performance against the Plan’s Performance Goal(s) to be considered. Failure to achieve a Performance Gate prevents the funding of any Award Pool regardless of performance against the Performance Goal(s).

2.3 Performance Goal(s)

Definitions of the Performance Goal(s) are listed in Appendix A.


Confidential

 

2.4 Performance Period

“Performance Period” means the 2013 Performance Period that coincides with Kodak’s 2013 fiscal year.

ARTICLE 3. ELIGIBILITY

Employees who are eligible to participate in the Plan for the 2013 Performance Period are executives (i) who are in wage grade 48 and above during the 2013 Performance Period; or (ii) who are hired or promoted to wage grade 48 and above during the 2013 Performance Period.

Awards will be calculated using the base salary and target EXCEL percentage as of December 31 of the Performance Period. For purposes of Covered Employees as defined by 162(m), the Committee shall have the authority to exercise Negative Discretion pursuant to Article 5.4.

An executive who becomes a Participant as a result of a job change or promotion during the Performance Period will become a Participant effective on the date of his or her appointment to the new job and will be eligible for a pro-rata Award based on the number of days of participation in EXCEL during the Performance Period.

The amount of any pro-rata Award under the Plan as referenced above will be calculated by multiplying the earned Award by a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period during which the executive is a Participant in EXCEL and the denominator of which is 365 days.

Designation of an executive as a Participant for the 2013 Performance Period will not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive payment of an Award for the 2013 Performance Period. The determination as to whether or not such Participant becomes entitled to payment of an Award for the 2013 Performance Period will be decided solely in accordance with the terms of this Administrative Guide and the Plan.

Subject to applicable local laws, regulations and processes, in order to be eligible for and to receive an Award, all eligible Participants must have signed an Employee Agreement in a form acceptable to the Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. Any participant who fails to sign such an Employee Agreement on or prior to the payment date specified in Article 6 below will not receive an Award.

ARTICLE 4. AWARD DESCRIPTION

4.1 Terms of Awards

Any Award granted by the Committee under this Administrative Guide will be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations contained in this Administrative Guide as well as those contained in the Plan.

4.2 Form of Awards

Any Awards payable for the 2013 Performance Period will be paid, on the Award Payment Date(s) determined by the Company, in cash and/or in any other form of Award as may be determined by the Committee.

ARTICLE 5. AWARD DETERMINATION

5.1 Calculation of Award Pool

Provided that the Performance Gate(s) have been achieved, the percentage derived from the Performance Goal(s) will be multiplied by the aggregate Target Award to determine the Award Pool for the 2013 Performance Period.

5.2 Performance Goal(s) and Performance Gate(s)

The Performance Goal(s) and Performance Gate(s) for the 2013 Performance Period are attached in Appendix A.

Results between the dollar amounts for the Performance Goal(s) shown will be interpolated to derive a Performance Percentage for the Performance Period. The Performance Goal(s) are subject to a maximum payout limit of 200%, although, in the discretion of the CEO and subject to the terms of the Plan, individual Awards may exceed this maximum for any Participant except Covered Employees.

5.3 Allocation of Award Pool to Covered Employees

Subject to the Committee’s authority to exercise Negative Discretion with regard to the amount of the Award Pool allocated to any Covered Employee for the 2013 Performance Period, each Covered Employee will be allocated an Award no greater than the lesser of: (i) 10% of the Award Pool; or (ii) 500% of his or her annual base salary on December 31, 2012; or (iii) $5,000,000.

Solely for purposes of this Section 5.3, the “Award Pool” will be determined by using the definition of “Aggregate Target Award” as set forth in this Section 5.3.

For purposes of this Section 5.3, “Aggregate Target Award” means the sum of the Target Award amounts on March 30, 2013 for all of the Participants eligible to participate in the Plan on March 30, 2013.

5.4 Certification

Following the completion of the Performance Cycle, the Committee shall meet to review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Gate(s) for the Performance Cycle have been achieved. If the Committee certifies that the Performance Gate(s) and minimum Performance Goal(s) have been achieved, it shall also calculate and certify in writing the Applicable Performance Percentage. By applying the Performance Formula, the Committee shall then determine and certify the total allocation that has been earned for the Performance Cycle. The Committee may, through the use of discretion, increase or reduce the amount that would otherwise be certified by application of the Performance Formula, if, in its sole judgment, such increase or reduction is appropriate.

ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT OF AWARDS

6.1 Continued Employment

Except as provided in Section 6.2 below, to be eligible to be considered for a 2013 Award, a Participant must be actively employed by the Company on the Form 10-K Filing Date.

6.2 Termination of Employment Prior to the Company’s Form 10-K Filing Date

In the event a Participant terminates employment during the 2013 Performance Period or prior to the Company’s Form 10-K Filing Date due to death, Disability, retirement, or layoff, the Participant will be eligible to be considered for a pro-rata Award as set forth below, based on certification by the Committee as set forth in Section 5.4 and subsequent management discretion with respect to the Participant’s performance in the Performance Period. In no event will Participants who were terminated as the result of a layoff in 2012, but whose notice, severance or garden leave period continues into 2013, be considered eligible for an Award for the 2013 Performance Period.

Participants who terminate employment with the Company during the Performance Period or prior to the Form 10-K Filing Date as part of a divestiture will be eligible to be considered for an Award paid by the Company only if the successor company has not agreed to accept liability for the Award. In the event that a Participant who terminates employment due to a divestiture is considered eligible for an Award paid by the Company, the Award will be pro-rated as set forth below.

The amount of any pro-rata Award as described in this Section 6.2 will be calculated by multiplying the earned Award by a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period during which the executive is on the payroll and the denominator of which is 365 days. All pro-rata Awards will be paid on the Award Payment Date(s).

6.3 Forfeiture

If, at any time, a Participant breaches his or her Employee Agreement or performs any act or engages in any activity which the CEO, in the case of all Participants other than the CEO, or the Committee, in the case of the CEO, determines is inimical to the best interests of the Company, the Participant will forfeit all of his or her Awards under the Plan.

ARTICLE 7. ADMINISTRATION

This Administrative Guide shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee is authorized to interpret, construe and implement the Administrative Guide, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, and to make all other determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for its administration. Any determination by the Committee in carrying out, administering or construing this Administrative Guide will be final and binding for all purposes and upon all interested persons and their heirs, successors, and personal representatives.

ARTICLE 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Termination/Amendment

The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate this Administrative Guide in whole or in part at any time and for any reason, with or without prior notice. In addition, the Committee, or any person to whom the Committee has delegated the requisite authority, may, at any time and from time to time, amend this Administrative Guide in any manner and for any reason.

8.2 Section 409A Compliance

The Awards described in this Administrative Guide are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent such arrangements are subject to that law, and this Administrative Guide shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.

8.3 Section 162(m) of the Code

Generally, if any provision of this Administrative Guide would cause the Awards granted to a Covered Employee not to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, that provision, in so far as it pertains to the Covered Employee, will be severed from, and will be deemed not to be a part of, this Administrative Guide, but the other provisions hereof will remain in full force and effect. Further, if this Administrative Guide fails to contain any provision required under Section 162(m) in order to make the Awards granted hereunder to a Covered Employee be “qualified performance-based compensation,” then this Administrative Guide will be deemed to incorporate such provision, effective as of the date of this Administrative Guide’s adoption by the Committee. As set forth above, the Committee has determined that Awards will not be performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) for purposes of the 2013 Performance Period.

8.4 Participant’s Rights Unsecured

The amounts payable under this Administrative Guide will be unfunded, and the right of any Participant or his or her estate to receive payment under this Administrative Guide will be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.

8.5 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences

No person connected with this Administrative Guide in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and its directors, officers, agents and employees makes any representation, commitment, or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state and local income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to amounts deferred under this Administrative Guide, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under this Administrative Guide, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in this Administrative Guide.
