7 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the accounting policies stated in the 1993 Annual Report, except as noted below, and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements appearing therein. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the financial statements. The statements are based in part on approximations and have not been audited by independent accountants. The annual statements will be audited by Price Waterhouse. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The recorded amounts of other investments as of September 30, 1994 shown in the following table include $37 million of equity investments in a number of entities for which it is not practicable to estimate fair values, since quoted market prices do not exist for any of these investments. The fair values of long-term borrowings were estimated based on quoted market prices or by obtaining quotes from brokers. The Company is a party to various interest rate option and swap agreements and foreign currency contracts which are included in other instruments below. The fair values of other instruments were estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers, where practicable, or by estimating the amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the instruments at the reporting date. The recorded amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash and marketable securities and short-term borrowings, approximate their fair values and are excluded from the amounts below. The recorded amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings and other financial instruments as of September 30, 1994 were as follows: (in millions) Recorded Amount Fair Value Other investments $ 43 $ 45 Long-term borrowings (4,667) (4,842) Other instruments (63) (206) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Fully diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings adjusted for after-tax interest expense associated with convertible securities by the average number of common shares outstanding, common stock equivalents related to dilutive stock options, and common shares issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities. Fully diluted earnings per share relating to the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle were anti-dilutive.

These businesses comprise the Health segment, which is reported as a discontinued operation with results for prior periods restated. On June 23, 1994, the Company announced Sanofi agreed to acquire the pharmaceutical business of Sterling Winthrop Inc. for $1.675 billion in cash and its interest in the "Over the Counter" alliance with Sterling Winthrop Inc. Sanofi's interest in the "Over the Counter" alliance will be transferred to Sterling Winthrop Inc. On October 1, 1994, the Company completed this sale. On August 29, 1994, the Company announced SmithKline Beecham plc agreed to acquire the consumer health business of Sterling Winthrop Inc. for $2.925 billion in cash. On November 2, 1994, the Company completed this sale. On September 6, 1994, the Company announced Johnson & Johnson agreed to acquire the Clinical Diagnostics Division for $1.008 billion in cash. On September 26, 1994, the Company announced Reckitt & Coleman plc agreed to acquire the worldwide household products business of L&F Products for $1.55 billion in cash. On October 14, 1994, the Company announced Forstmann Little & Co. agreed to acquire the do-it-yourself products business of L&F Products for $700 million in cash. In addition, as part of the divestiture, the Company is actively negotiating with potential buyers for its pharmaceutical research and development facility and its NanoSystems unit, and anticipates closing dates for these transactions in 1995. As of June 30, 1994, the Company concluded that measurement dates had occurred for the non-imaging health businesses. Accordingly, the financial statement information related to these businesses has been presented on one line in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, "net assets from discontinued operations", and in the "discontinued operations" line of the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The amounts presented for prior periods have been restated for comparability. The "net assets from discontinued operations" represents the assets intended to be sold offset by the liabilities anticipated to be assumed by the buyers of these businesses. The amounts presented in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for prior periods have been restated to reflect the allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense was performed by reference to the interest expense on indebtedness that is anticipated to be repaid from the net proceeds received from the sales. The third quarter 1994 loss from the health businesses was deferred and will be recognized as a reduction of the expected gain on the sale of the health businesses. The Company currently anticipates an overall gain on the sales of the health businesses including income from operations during the phase-out period which is estimated to end on or about December 31, 1994. Consequently, all gains estimated at this time will be recognized by the Company as such transactions close. Summarized results of the Health businesses, including the allocation of interest expense, are as follows:

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In connection with the debt paydown program, the Company incurred pre-tax losses related to the tender offer of approximately $160 million which will result in an extraordinary charge in the fourth quarter of 1994. The Company has also unwound substantially all of the interest rate derivatives associated with its debt issues. The Company incurred pre-tax losses related to the unwind of the derivatives of approximately $160 million in September, which has been deferred, and approximately $60 million in October. These losses will be charged to extraordinary and other charges in the fourth quarter of 1994 along with the losses on the debt. Harry L. Kavetas, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer November 14, 1994 11 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations SUMMARY

Sales from continuing operations of $3,529 million for the third quarter of 1994 were up significantly when compared with the third quarter of 1993. Excluding the sales of Qualex, which was acquired on August 12, 1994, the Company recorded good sales increases for the quarter. Year-to-date sales from continuing operations of $9,709 million were moderately higher than sales for the comparable period of last year. Earnings from continuing operations were adversely affected by restructuring costs in 1993 of $495 million ($353 million or $1.08 per share after-tax). Third quarter earnings from continuing operations decreased substantially from the third quarter of 1993, before deducting the effects of restructuring costs, as the benefits of increased unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were more than offset by cost escalation, higher marketing and administrative expenses, lower effective selling prices and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. Year-to-date earnings from continuing operations decreased significantly from the comparable period a year ago, before deducting the effects of restructuring costs, as the benefits of increased unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were more than offset by cost escalation, lower effective selling prices, and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. In addition, the 1993 third quarter and year-to-date net earnings benefited from net gains on strategic currency hedges of approximately $17 million and $38 million, respectively, and from the sales of assets. The 1994 third quarter and year-to-date net earnings were adversely impacted by premium costs for strategic currency hedges of approximately $15 million and $38 million, respectively, and by the initial consolidation of Qualex. Net earnings for the year-to-date periods of both years included an extraordinary charge of $.04 per share related to the early extinguishment of debt. The 1993 year-to-date net loss was due to an after-tax charge of $2.17 billion ($6.62 per share) associated with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, and SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits effective as of January 1, 1993. On May 3, 1994, the Company announced its intent to divest the following non-imaging health businesses: the pharmaceutical and consumer health businesses of Sterling Winthrop Inc., the household products and do-it-yourself products businesses of L&F Products and the Clinical Diagnostics Division. These businesses are reported as discontinued operations with results for prior periods restated. On June 23, 1994, the Company announced Sanofi agreed to acquire the pharmaceutical business of Sterling Winthrop Inc. for $1.675 billion in cash and its interest in the "Over the Counter" alliance with Sterling Winthrop Inc. On October 1, 1994, the Company completed this sale. On August 29, 1994, the Company announced SmithKline Beecham plc agreed to acquire the consumer health business of Sterling Winthrop Inc. for $2.925 billion in cash. On November 2, 1994, the Company completed this sale. On September 6, 1994, the Company announced Johnson & Johnson agreed to acquire the Clinical Diagnostics Division for $1.008 billion in cash. On September 26, 1994, the Company announced Reckitt & Colman plc agreed to acquire the worldwide household products business of L&F Products for $1.55 billion in cash. On October 14, 1994, the Company announced Forstmann Little & Co. agreed to acquire the do-it-yourself products business of L&F Products for $700 million in cash. In addition, as part of the divestiture, the Company is actively negotiating with potential buyers for its pharmaceutical research and development facility and its NanoSystems unit, and anticipates closing dates for these transactions in 1995. The third quarter 1994 loss from the discontinued health operations of $44 million or $.13 per share, was deferred and will be recognized as a reduction of the expected gain on the sale of the health business, which is anticipated to be recorded in the fourth quarter. 12 On August 12, 1994, the company purchased from the Actava Group Inc. its 50% interest in Qualex for $150 million, $50 million to Actava at the closing and the remaining $100 million without interest in two installments over the next twelve months. As a result of this transaction, Qualex is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial statements are consolidated with those of the Company beginning in the third quarter. On October 7, 1994, the Company announced settlement of a civil complaint by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) alleging noncompliance with federal environmental regulations at the Company's Kodak Park manufacturing site. The Company has been assessed a $5 million penalty, previously accrued, and has also agreed to conduct a number of special environmental projects over an eight-year period. The costs of these improvement projects will be expensed or capitalized as incurred in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for environmental costs. On October 25, 1994, the Company announced in its third quarter earnings release that its focus on cost management would continue and could possibly include a restructuring program in the fourth quarter of 1994, which could have a material impact on the results of operations. On June 15, 1993, the Company announced a plan to spin-off its Eastman Chemical Company operations, which was completed on December 31, 1993. SEGMENT SALES In the Consumer Imaging segment, sales to customers inside the U.S. showed an excellent increase for the quarter and were up significantly year to date, when compared with sales for the same periods of 1993, due primarily to the initial consolidation of Qualex. Excluding the sales of Qualex, sales for the quarter and year to date increased moderately over the comparable periods of 1993 as higher volumes were partially offset by lower effective selling prices. Outside the U.S., sales recorded a strong increase in the quarter as solid volume increases and the favorable effects of foreign currency rate changes were only partially offset by the unfavorable effects of lower effective selling prices. Year to date, sales to customers outside the U.S. showed a good increase, as solid increases in unit volumes were only partially offset by the unfavorable effects of lower effective selling prices. Worldwide volume gains in the 1994 third quarter and year to date were led by single-use cameras, Ektacolor papers and Kodacolor 35mm films. In the Commercial Imaging segment, the slight increases in sales to customers inside the U.S. for the quarter and year to date were due to volume increases. Good increases in sales to customers outside the U.S. in the third quarter of 1994 were due to good volume gains and the favorable effects of foreign currency rate changes, partially offset by lower effective selling prices. For the first three quarters of 1994, sales to customers outside the U.S. increased slightly as higher volumes were partially offset by lower effective selling prices. Worldwide sales increases in the quarter and year to date were led by health sciences, printing and publishing imaging, and motion picture and television products. Sales by Segment

Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 1994 included goodwill amortization of $14 million compared with $10 million in the third quarter of 1993. For the 1994 year to date, goodwill amortization was $31 million compared with $23 million for the 1993 year to date. The increases in the cost of goods sold percentages for the quarter and year to date were primarily due to the adverse impacts of cost escalation, lower effective selling prices, the initial consolidation of Qualex and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. The increases in marketing and administrative expenses in the quarter and year to date when compared with 1993 were primarily due to the initial consolidation of Qualex, cost escalation and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. Research and development costs recorded a decrease in the quarter and were essentially level year to date compared with last year as lower activity levels offset cost escalation. SEGMENT EARNINGS Consumer Imaging operating earnings were adversely affected by restructuring costs in 1993 of $141 million. Consumer Imaging operating earnings for the 1994 third quarter decreased substantially when compared with the 1993 third quarter, before deducting restructuring costs, as the benefits of increased unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were more than offset by lower effective selling prices, cost escalation, incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets, and higher research and development activity. Year-to-date Consumer Imaging operating earnings, before deducting restructuring costs in 1993, decreased as the benefits of increased unit volumes and manufacturing productivity were more than offset by lower effective selling prices, cost escalation and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. In addition, the 1993 third quarter and year to date benefited from the positive effect of strategic currency hedges, while the 1994 third quarter and year to date were adversely impacted by the premium costs for strategic currency hedges. Commercial Imaging operating earnings were adversely affected by restructuring costs in 1993 of $354 million. Commercial Imaging segment operating earnings for the 1994 third quarter and year to date were substantially lower than earnings for the comparable periods a year ago, before deducting restructuring costs. In the quarter, the benefits of increased unit volumes and lower research and development activity were more than offset by cost escalation, lower effective selling prices and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. For the year to date, the benefits of increased unit volumes, lower marketing and administrative activity and lower research and development activity were more than offset by cost escalation, lower effective selling prices and incremental charges associated with our continuing review of the carrying value of all assets. In addition, the 1993 third quarter and year to date benefited from the positive effect of strategic currency hedges, while the 1994 third quarter and year to date were adversely impacted by the premium costs for strategic currency hedges. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 Earnings (loss) from Operations by Segment

15 OTHER REVENUES AND COSTS Earnings from equity interests and other revenues were lower in the quarter and year to date when compared with the comparable periods of 1993. The decreases were due to lower earnings from equity interests, lower investment income and the inclusion of gains from the sale of assets and other items in 1993. The net effect from foreign exchange transactions was a loss of $6 million in the quarter and a loss of $50 million for the year to date compared with a loss of $1 million in the 1993 third quarter and a loss of $23 million in the 1993 year to date, respectively. For continuing operations, the year-to-date effective tax rate was 37.6%, compared with 42.7% for the 1993 year to date. The higher rate in 1993 was primarily due to the effects of certain non-deductible restructuring charges. - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Quarter Three Quarters Net Earnings (Loss) 1994 1993 1994 1993 (in millions) Amount $193 $(68) $539 $(1,716) Percent of Sales 5.5% - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CASH DIVIDENDS During the third quarter of 1994, a cash dividend of $136 million ($.40 per share) was declared on the Company's common stock. Total dividends declared for the year to date amounted to $401 million ($1.20 per share). Total dividends declared during the 1993 year to date were $492 million ($1.50 per share). FINANCIAL POSITION Cash and marketable securities were $727 million at the end of the third quarter, compared with $1,966 million at year-end 1993. In connection with the spin-off of the worldwide chemical business at the end of 1993, the Company borrowed $1.8 billion in December, 1993. The borrowings were subsequently assumed by the worldwide chemical business on December 31, 1993. The proceeds from the borrowings, which were retained by Kodak, were used during the first nine months of 1994 to redeem debt and interest rate derivatives, and terminate a Master Lease agreement and a Sale of Receivables program. Short-term borrowings increased $1,849 million, while long-term borrowings decreased $2,060 million from year-end 1993. The Company has been increasing short-term borrowings to redeem long-term borrowings until proceeds are received from the divestitures of the non-imaging health businesses. Working capital at the end of the quarter decreased to $407 million compared with $2,804 million at year-end 1993. The increase in Capital Stock and Additional Paid-In-Capital since year-end 1993 is primarily attributable to the partial conversion of the 6 3/8% convertible subordinated debentures and zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures into Company stock. The Company expects to have positive operating cash flow for the year and plans to use the proceeds from the divestitures of the non-imaging health businesses to further reduce debt and interest rate derivatives, which will result in material extraordinary and other charges from the early extinguishment of debt and related interest rate derivatives. On October 3, 1994, the Company announced a tender offer for up to $4.8 billion of its long-term borrowings. On October 20, 1994, the Company announced that $2.7 billion of the possible $4.8 billion had been tendered during the tender offer period, which ended on that date. The Company incurred pre-tax losses related to the tender offer of approximately $160 million which will result in an extraordinary charge in the fourth quarter of 1994. The Company has also unwound substantially all of the interest rate derivatives associated with its debt issues. The Company incurred pre-tax losses related to the unwind of the derivatives of approximately $160 million in September, which has been deferred, and approximately $60 million in October. These losses will be charged to extraordinary and other charges in the fourth quarter of 1994 along with the losses on the debt. CAPITAL ADDITIONS Capital additions for the third quarter of 1994 were $187 million compared with $174 million for the third quarter of 1993. For the 1994 year to date, capital additions were $814 million versus $612 million a year ago. The Company was a party to a Master Lease agreement whereby the Company could lease equipment with the right to buy the equipment anytime at fair market value. The Company terminated this agreement during the second quarter of 1994 by purchasing approximately $300 million of equipment it has been leasing. The provision for depreciation for the first three quarters of 1994 was $582 million, compared with $616 million for the comparable period of 1993. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings On October 7, the Company and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Justice (DOJ) announced settlement of a civil complaint alleging noncompliance by the Company with federal environmental regulations at the Company's Kodak Park manufacturing site in Rochester, N.Y. The Company was assessed a penalty of $5 million, and also agreed to conduct a number of special environmental projects over an eight-year period as an offset to $3 million in additional penalties. A consent decree was signed under which the Company is subject to a 12-year compliance schedule requiring, among other things, that the Company improve the characterization of its waste, evaluate and upgrade its industrial sewer system, and upgrade one of its incinerators. The Company is participating in the EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8 (e) Compliance Audit Program. As a participant, the Company has agreed to audit its files for materials which under current EPA guidelines would be subject to notification under Section 8 (e) of TSCA and to pay stipulated penalties for each report submitted under this program. The Company anticipates that its liability under the Program will be $1,000,000. In addition to the foregoing environmental actions, the Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (the "Superfund" law), or under similar state laws, for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Company's alleged arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at fewer than twenty Superfund sites. With respect to each of these sites, the Company's actual or potential allocated share of responsibility is small. Furthermore, numerous other PRPs have similarly been designated at these sites and, although the law imposes joint and several liability on PRPs, as a practical matter costs are shared with other PRPs. Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been material. Future costs are also not expected to be material to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company and its subsidiary companies are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including product liability, commercial, environmental, and health and safety matters, which are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. There are no such matters pending that the Company and its General Counsel expect to be material in relation to the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. Item 5. Other Information Effective October 31, 1994, the Company completed the divestiture of its Sterling Winthrop Inc. subsidiary to SmithKline Beecham for $2.925 billion in cash. Details of the divestiture are contained in a press release issued by the Company on November 2, 1994, and set forth herein as Exhibit 99.

22 Exhibit (99) KODAK COMPLETES STERLING WINTHROP SALE TO SMITHKLINE BEECHAM Rochester, N.Y., November 2 -- Eastman Kodak Company announced the completion of the sale of its Sterling Winthrop Inc. subsidiary to SmithKline Beecham for $2.925 billion in cash. SmithKline Beecham purchased 100 percent of the stock of Sterling Winthrop and thereby acquired the company's worldwide consumer health products business. SmithKline Beecham has previously announced an agreement to sell the North American segment of Sterling Winthrop's consumer health products business to Miles, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayer, AG, of Germany. The sale marks the second completed transaction in Kodak's divestiture program. On October 1, Kodak completed the sale of Sterling Winthrop's pharmaceuticals business to Sanofi, SA, of France for $1.675 billion in cash. Previously announced agreements for the sale of the Household Products, the DIY Products business of Kodak's L&F Products unit, and of Kodak's Clinical Diagnostics business should be completed before year end. Kodak also will sell Sterling Winthrop's research and development center, located near Philadelphia, Pa., and its NanoSystems unit in separate transactions. NanoSystems is a technology development unit organized to commercialize Kodak's proprietary small particle development (at the sub-micron level) technology for pharmaceutical applications. A number of potentially promising drug applications are in development. 23 Exhibit 10(A) STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT among EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY 343 HOLDING CORPORATION and SMITHKLINE BEECHAM plc Dated as of August 28, 1994 Circulated September 2, 1994 24 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS AND TERMS Section 1.1 Specific Definitions . . . . . . . . . . . 33 Section 1.2 Other Terms. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 Section 1.3 Other Definitional Provisions. . . . . . . 45 ARTICLE II PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK Section 2.1 Purchase and Sale of Common Stock. . . . . 45 Section 2.2 Post-Closing Adjustments . . . . . . . . . 46 Section 2.3 Closing;

In the event that the adjust- ment of the Closing Balance Sheet pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) discloses that it is appropriate to include an item in the calculation of Net Working Capital that had been omitted from the Closing Balance Sheet or to omit an item in the calculation of Net Working Capital that had been included in the Closing Balance Sheet, Purchaser shall prepare a revised Balance Sheet including or omitting such item, as the case may be, as at the date thereof. (c) Purchaser shall, and shall cause Sterling to, provide Seller and its accountants (i) all data and financial statements reasonably requested by Seller and (ii) full access to the Books and Records, any other information, including 49 work papers of its accountants, and to any employees to the extent necessary for Seller to review the Closing Balance Sheet and the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet. (d) Within five Business Days following issuance of the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet, the adjustment payments payable pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate from and including the Closing Date to but not including the date of payment. Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall make adjustment payments in respect of Net Working Capital in an amount equal to the difference between: (x) Net Working Capital as derived from the Balance Sheet and (y) Net Working Capital as derived from the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet. The adjustment payment in respect of Net Working Capital will be made by Seller to Purchaser to the extent that Net Working Capital as derived from the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet is less than Net Working Capital as derived from the Balance Sheet and by Purchaser to Seller to the extent that Net Working Capital as derived from the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet is greater than Net Working Capital as derived from the Balance Sheet. Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall 50 make adjustment payments in respect of residual cash in an amount equal to the difference between: (x) the Estimated Residual Cash Amount and (y) the Residual Cash Amount. The adjustment payment in respect of residual cash will be made by Seller to Purchaser to the extent that the Residual Cash Amount is less than the Estimated Residual Cash Amount and by Purchaser to Seller to the extent that the Residual Cash Amount is greater than the Estimated Residual Cash Amount. Section 2.3 Closing; Delivery and Payment. (a) The Closing shall take place at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004 at 10:00 A.M. New York City time, on the later of (i) October 15, 1994, or (ii) 10 Business Days after the closing of the transactions under the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement, in either event only if all of the conditions precedent specified in Article VI have been satisfied or waived; provided that in any event the Closing shall occur no later than November 30, 1994; or at such other time and place as the parties hereto may mutually agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is called the "Closing Date". (b) No later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser Seller's determination of the Estimated Residual Cash Amount. (c) On the Closing Date, Seller shall cause 343 Holding Corporation, and 343 Holding Corporation shall, deliver to Purchaser certificates representing the Shares duly 51 endorsed and in form for transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall pay to Seller (i) the Purchase Price for the Shares and (ii) the Estimated Residual Cash Amount in immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller not less than two Business Days prior to the Closing. Section 2.4 Puerto Rican Cash. (a) On the Closing Date, Sterling will own all of the stock of Sterling Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("SPI"), a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Arkansas which is a "936 corporation" within the meaning of section 936 of the Code. As of the date of this Agreement, SPI has agreed to invest $126,718,823 (the "Invested Amount") pursuant to certain restrictions which have entitled, and, in the future, will entitle SPI to the benefit of reduced Puerto Rican tollgate taxes upon the distribution of the Invested Amount. If the entire Invested Amount is distributed in the future in a manner that reflects the aforementioned restrictions, the distributions will be subject to a tollgate tax of $4,127,443. If the Invested Amount were distributed prematurely, SPI would be subject to Puerto Rican tollgate tax, recapture tax, recapture surcharge and recapture interest in the amount of $39,175,289, an increase of $35,047,846. The amounts set forth in this Section 2.4(a) are set forth in greater detail on Schedule 2.4(a). (b) For its fiscal year ending October 31, 1993, SPI earned $65,820,000 which SPI will distribute to Sterling 52 between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, subject to a 10 percent Puerto Rican tollgate tax. (c) For its fiscal year ending October 31, 1994, (the "1994 Year"), SPI expects to earn approximately $75 million. SPI plans to invest such portion (one-half under current Puerto Rican law) of the actual amount it earns for the 1994 Year (the "1994 Invested Amount") in a manner and for such period (currently five years) that will permit SPI to distribute the total 1994 earnings subject to a reduced Puerto Rican tollgate tax. (d) The Seller and Purchaser agree that neither the Purchase Price nor any adjustment thereto is intended to compensate Seller for the Invested Amount and the 1994 Invested Amount owned by SPI, and Seller and Purchaser agree that they will act together to preserve the value of such investments for Seller as if Seller retained ownership of Sterling and SPI distributed to Sterling the Invested Amount and the 1994 Invested Amount in a manner that limits the Puerto Rican tollgate tax on the Invested Amount to $4,127,443 and on the 1994 Invested Amount to that tollgate rate which would be applicable to a distribution of the 1994 Invested Amount if that amount is invested as provided in Section 2.4(c). In the case of the Invested Amount, the availability of distributions which will limit the tollgate tax to $4,127,443 is set forth on Schedule 2.4(d). 53 (e) For the purpose of implementing the goal stated in Section 2.4(d), Purchaser will cause SPI to invest and reinvest its assets in a manner that will achieve such goal and will cause SPI to pay directly to Seller as additional purchase price such maximum portions of the Invested Amount as may be distributed in accordance with Schedule 2.4(d) and such maximum portions of the 1994 Invested Amount as may be distributed without increasing the otherwise applicable minimum Puerto Rican tollgate tax, in each case, net of the tollgate tax and any other Taxes for which Seller has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 5.4(b) hereof, and, in addition, to pay to Seller as additional purchase price any remaining assets of SPI, net of applicable Puerto Rican tollgate tax and any other Taxes for which Seller has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 5.4(b) hereof. (f) Seller shall appoint an individual (including any successor selected by Seller) who, at Seller's expense, will be designated as SPI's sole agent, with a power of attorney that is not revocable by any person other than Seller, to manage the investments and reinvestment of SPI's assets in the manner described in this Section 2.4 and to cause SPI to make payments directly to Seller in the manner prescribed in this Section 2.4. (g) Purchaser will not permit Sterling or any other entity to transfer any assets to, or remove any assets from, 54 SPI, except as permitted under this Section 2.4 and Purchaser will not permit Sterling to liquidate SPI or transfer SPI stock to any other person. (h) The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller will request a ruling or closing agreement from the Puerto Rican tax authorities that will permit SPI to transfer all of its assets to Seller or a directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Seller without incurring any greater Puerto Rican taxes than would be the case if the provisions of Section 2.4(a) through (g) were implemented as prescribed. In the event such a ruling or closing agreement is obtained prior to the Closing Date, Seller will cause SPI to transfer its assets to Kodak or its designated subsidiary immediately and Section 2.4(a) through (g) shall become null and void. If the requested ruling or closing agreement is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, Seller will be authorized by Purchaser or SPI, as necessary to continue to seek the requested ruling or closing agreement and, in the event it is obtained, SPI immediately thereafter will transfer all of its assets to Kodak or its designated subsidiary as additional purchase price and Sections 2.4(a) through (g) shall thereafter be null and void. 55 ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (except (i) that representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date need be true only as of such date, and (ii) to the extent any representation or warranty may be deemed to relate to any item constituting an Indemnified Liability, an OTC Products Liability, an Undisclosed OTC Environmental Liability, an Unknown OTC Environmental Liability, or any item listed on Schedule 5.13(a), as to which no representations and warranties other then Section 3.22 are made herein) as follows: Section 3.1 Organization, Qualification and Authority of Seller.

(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.9(b), the Continuing Business is not subject to any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction, or decree of any court or govern- mental or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator or arbitrators other than those that, individu- ally or in the aggregate, would not materially interfere with 63 Sterling's ability to conduct the Continuing Business substan- tially as conducted on December 31, 1993 or materially impair or delay the ability of Seller to effect the Closing. The Continuing Business is not in violation of any such material order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree that is material. Section 3.10 Taxes. Except as set forth in Sched- ule 3.10 and except as such failure of any representation made in this Section 3.10 to be true and correct which, when taken in the aggregate with all other such failures (regarding the representations made in this Section 3.10 only), would not have a Material Adverse Effect, taking into consideration any obligation of Seller to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement; (a) All Tax Returns that are required to be filed on or before the date of this Agreement (taking into account applicable extensions) by or on behalf of Sterling or the Subsidiaries (without giving effect to the Restructuring) have been timely filed in the manner prescribed by law; (b) all Taxes shown to be due on the Tax Returns referred to in clause (a) have been timely paid or recorded as reserves or current liabilities on the Balance Sheet, with respect to periods ending on or prior to December 31, 1993, and in the Books and Records for periods commencing after December 31, 1993; (c) as of the time of filing, all Tax Returns referred to in clause (a) were true, correct and complete in accordance with the 64 governing jurisdictions' Tax Laws; (d) no adjustments or deficiencies relating to the Tax Returns referred to in clause (a) have been proposed, asserted or assessed in writing by the Internal Revenue Service or the appropriate state, local or foreign taxing authority and each adjustment or deficiency set forth in Schedule 3.10 is being contested in good faith to the extent appropriate; (e) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened actions or proceedings for the assessment or collection of Taxes against any entity described in clause (a) and any actions or proceedings set forth in Schedule 3.10 are being handled in good faith; (f) there are no outstanding waivers or agreements extending the applicable statute of limitations for any period with respect to any Taxes of any entity described in clause (a); (g) no taxing authorities are presently conducting any audits or other examinations of any Tax Returns referred to in clause (a); (h) there are no written tax sharing agreements to which Sterling or any Subsidiary is a party other than such agreements entered into in connection with the Restructuring; and (i) Sterling's U.S. Federal income tax returns for the taxable years ending on or before the acquisition of Sterling by Seller in February, 1988 have been examined by the Audit Division of the Internal Revenue Service. 65 Section 3.11 Employee Benefits.

True and complete copies of all Benefit Plans, including, but not limited to, any trust instruments and insurance contracts forming a part of any Benefit Plans, and all amendments thereto have been provided or made available to Purchaser. (b) All employee benefit plans covering U.S. Employees (the "Plans"), to the extent subject to ERISA or the Code, are in substantial compliance with ERISA or the Code, as the case may be. Each Plan which is an "employee pension benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA ("Pension Plan") and which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and Seller is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.11(b), there is no material pending or threatened litigation relating to the Plans. Neither Sterling nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, could subject Sterling or any Subsidiary to a tax or 66 penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA in an amount which would be material. (c) No liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to any ongoing, frozen or terminated "single-employer plan", within the meaning of Sec- tion 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by any of them, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with Sterling under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Code (an "ERISA Affiliate"). Sterling and its Subsidiaries have not incurred and do not expect to incur any withdrawal liability with respect to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA. Sterling and its Subsidiaries do not now participate in, contribute to, or have an obligation to contribute to, and within the preceding six years have not participated in, contributed to or been required to contribute to, a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA. No notice of a "reportable event", within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate within the 12- month period ending on the date hereof. (d) Neither any Pension Plan nor any single- employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has an "accumulated funding deficiency" (whether or not waived) within the meaning 67 of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and neither Sterling nor any ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. Neither Sterling nor any of the Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. (e) Under each Pension Plan which is a single- employer plan, as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof, the actuarially determined present value of all "benefit liabilities", within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in the Plan's most recent actuarial valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition of such Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year. (f) Neither Sterling nor any of the Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any Benefit Plan, except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(f). (g) All employee benefit plans, contracts or arrangements covering non-U.S. Employees comply in all material respects with applicable local law.

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.12 hereto, the Continuing Business is being conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, except where the failure so to comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not be material; Sterling and the Subsidiaries have all Governmental Authori- zations necessary for the conduct of the Continuing Business as currently conducted, other than those the absence of which would not be material; and there are no proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened which may result in the revocation, cancellation or suspension of any such Govern- mental Authorization except Governmental Authorizations the absence of which would not be material; it being understood that nothing in this representation is intended to address any compliance issue that is the subject of any other representa- tion or warranty set forth herein. Section 3.13 Intellectual Property.

The sale of the Shares to Purchaser will not result in the termination of Sterling's rights with respect to any material item of Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 3.13(a). (b) To the knowledge of the Seller (i) except as set forth in Schedule 3.13(b)(i), with respect to Intellectual Property of the Continuing Business other than trademarks, no product or product under development (or component thereof or process) used, sold or manufactured by the Continuing Business infringes on or otherwise violates the valid and enforceable patents of any other Person or were acquired or developed with the aid of any information obtained or disclosed in violation of any confidentiality obligation enforceable against Sterling or the breach of which could result in Losses to Sterling, (ii) with respect to the trademarks listed in Schedule 3.13(b)(ii) (the "Selected Marks"), except as set forth in Schedule 3.13(b)(iii), there are no restrictions that would materially impair the use of the Selected Marks in connection with the Continuing Business and the Selected Marks do not infringe upon or otherwise violate the valid trademarks of any other Person, (iii) no Person is challenging or, to the knowledge of Seller, infringing or otherwise violating or threatening to challenge, infringe or violate the Intellectual Property of the Continuing Business or Shared Intellectual Property (excluding trademarks included on Schedule 3.13(b)(ii)), except in each case for challenges, 70 infringements or violations, that individually or in the aggregate, would not materially interfere with Sterling's ability to conduct the Continuing Business substantially as heretofore conducted and (iv) there are no oppositions, revocations, reexaminations, nullity actions or the like which are pending or threatened against the Sterling Intellectual Property.

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.15(ii), each material Contract listed in Schedule 3.15(i) is a valid and binding agreement of Sterling or one of the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and is in full force and effect. Except as otherwise provided in Schedule 3.15(iii), Sterling (or its Subsidiaries) is not in material default and Seller has no knowledge of any material default under any material Contract listed in Schedule 3.15(i) which default has not been cured or waived.

(b) Each of Sterling and the Subsidiaries owns or leases and upon consummation of the Restructuring will own or lease, directly or indirectly, all of the assets and properties, and is and will be a party to all licenses and other agreements, in each case which are currently being used or are reasonably necessary to carry on the business and operations of the Continuing Business as presently conducted.

The foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser from (i) the use or disclosure of such information which currently is known generally to the public or which subsequently has come into the public domain, other than by way of disclosure in violation of this Agreement, (ii) the use or disclosure of such information that becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or Seller's agents provided that such source is not known by Purchaser to have a legal obligation prohibiting the disclosure of such information, or (iii) the disclosure of such information required by law or court order, provided that, to the extent practicable, prior to such disclosure required by law or court order Purchaser will give Seller prior written notice of the nature of the law or order requiring disclosure and the disclosure to be made in accordance therewith.

It is understood for purposes of the foregoing that Seller will undertake reasonable efforts to cause the employees of Sterling to comply with the confidentiality provisions set forth in this Section 5.1(c) but that any breach of this Section 5.1(c) by an employee of Sterling shall be deemed not to be a breach by Seller of its obligations hereunder. Section 5.2 Conduct of Business. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing, except (i) as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) as reasonably necessary in connection with the Restructuring, or (iii) as Purchaser shall otherwise agree in writing in advance, Seller covenants and agrees that it shall cause Sterling to operate the Continuing Business in the ordinary and usual course 85 consistent with past practice, and use its reasonable efforts to preserve intact, to the extent constituting part of the Continuing Business, its business and relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing, except (i) as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) as reasonably necessary in connection with the Restructuring, or (iii) as Purchaser shall otherwise consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Seller covenants and agrees that it shall, with respect to the Continuing Business, cause Sterling and the Subsidiaries to: (i) maintain insurance coverage at presently existing levels so long as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates; (ii) not approve any new individual capital expenditure in excess of $1,000,000; (iii) not dispose of or incur, create or assume any Encumbrance other than Permitted Encumbrances on any individual capital asset if the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such capital asset exceeds $1,000,000; (iv) not (A) incur any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate other than any indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business to refinance existing indebtedness on reasonable terms not materially less advantageous to the Continuing 86 Business in the aggregate than the terms of the indebtedness being refinanced and (B) assume, guarantee or endorse the obligations of any person other than a Subsidiary or an employee pursuant to a relocation policy; (v) not enter into any material transaction or amend any material term of, or waive any substantial right under, any material Contract; (vi) not effectuate (a) a "plant closing" as defined in the WARN Act affecting any site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment or facility of the Continuing Business or (b) a "mass layoff" as defined in the WARN Act affecting any site of employment or one or more facilities or operating units within any site of employment or facilities of the Continuing Business, except, in either case, after complying fully with the notice and other requirements of the WARN Act; (vii) not change or amend its charter or by- laws, other than to change the names of Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries; provided, that no such name change shall involve the deletion of the word "Sterling"; (viii) not issue, sell, pledge, transfer, repurchase or redeem or propose to issue, sell, pledge, transfer, repurchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or 87 exercisable for, or options with respect to, or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for, any shares of its capital stock; (ix) not declare or set aside for payment any dividends to be paid after the Closing; (x) not enter into any other agreements, commitments or contracts which, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the Continuing Business, except agreements, commitments or contracts for the purchase or sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice and not in excess of current requirements; (xi) not transfer or otherwise dispose of any substantial assets of the Continuing Business other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (xii) except as required by law or regulation, pursuant to existing agreements or as may be reasonably necessary to secure or protect intellectual or industrial property rights of the Continuing Business, not provide any confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Continuing Business to any Person other than Purchaser, Seller or their respective Affiliates; (xiii) not take any action which could be reasonably expected to prevent or materially delay the 88 consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (xiv) not change any of the accounting principles or practices applied with respect to the Continuing Business; (xv) not enter into, adopt, amend (except as required by applicable law or any existing contract, with notice to the Purchaser) or terminate any Plan or increase the amount or accelerate the payment or vesting of any benefit payable thereunder, in each case in any way that materially increases the amount of the liability attributable to the Continuing Business in respect of such Plan, or grant any material increases in the compensation or fringe benefits of employees of the Continuing Business; and (xvi) not agree to take any of the foregoing actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to clause (ix) above, Sterling shall be permitted at all times prior to the Closing Date to make distributions of cash to Seller. Section 5.3 Best Efforts; Good Faith; Cooperation in Restructuring. (a) Seller and Purchaser will cooperate and use their mutual best efforts to fulfill the conditions precedent to the other party's obligations hereunder, including but not limited to, securing as promptly as practicable all consents, 89 approvals, waivers and authorizations required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and further including taking all reasonable steps to consummate the Closing (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement). Purchaser and Seller will promptly file documentary materials required by the Competition Laws, Environmental Laws and each of the other items referred to in Section 3.6 and Section 4.4 (whether or not material) and promptly file any additional information requested as soon as practicable after receipt of request thereof. (b) Without limiting the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary, proper or advisable to obtain any consent, waiver, approval or authorization relating to any Competition Law that is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which efforts shall include, without limitation, the proffer by Purchaser of its willingness to accept an order providing for the divestiture by Purchaser of such of the assets of the Continuing Business (or, in lieu thereof, assets and businesses of the Purchaser having an approximately equivalent value), as are necessary for the Purchaser fully to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and an offer to hold separate such assets and businesses pending such divestiture. In the event that regulatory authorities require the divestiture and the holding separate 90 by Purchaser following the Closing of any of the assets or entities of the Continuing Business, no adjustment shall be made to the Purchase Price and Purchaser shall be required to hold such assets or entities separate and divest them following the Closing. (c) Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (other than Sterling and the Subsidiaries) to, pay all amounts from time to time payable to Sterling or its Subsidiaries within 30 days after such payable arises (it being understood that such obligation shall not apply with respect to any such payable arising after Closing). Seller shall cause Sterling and its Subsidiaries to pay all amounts from time to time payable to Seller and its Affiliates within 30 days after such payable arises (it being understood that such obligation shall not apply with respect to any such payable arising after Closing). (d) Seller will cooperate with Purchaser in attempting to structure the sale of the Continuing Business to Purchaser in a manner that would enable the Purchaser to sell a portion of the Continuing Business to one or more third parties; provided that such structure does not result in economic detriment (including additional tax costs) to Seller. (e) If the Closing (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement) of the transactions under the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement shall not have occurred prior to the Closing Date, then immediately prior to 91 the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the transfer of such portions of the Ethical Transferred Business that would have been transferred had such Closing (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement) occurred. Section 5.4 Tax Matters. (a) Tax Treatment. Seller and Purchaser agree that an election under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar provision of the law of any country or taxing jurisdiction) will not be made with respect to the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. (b) Indemnification. (i) Seller's Indemnification of Purchaser. Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of (A) any Taxes (including Transfer Taxes) imposed in connection with or arising directly from the Restructuring or the Transferred Businesses whether arising with respect to a period before or after the Closing Date, (B) except to the extent reflected as Current Liabilities on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and except to the extent such Taxes are incurred solely as a result of Purchaser's failure to comply with Section 5.4(i)(i), any Taxes (including any Taxes imposed pursuant to Treas. Regs. 1502-6 or a similar provision of any state, local or foreign income tax law imposing several liability upon the members of a consolidated, combined, affiliated or unitary group) imposed on Sterling or the Subsidiaries with respect to the taxable periods, or 92 portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date; and (C) any Transfer Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 5.4(g) hereof. (ii) Purchaser's Indemnification of Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of any liability of Seller for (A) any Taxes reflected as Current Liabilities on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet, (B) any Taxes imposed with respect to Sterling, the Subsidiaries or the Continuing Business for the taxable periods, or portions thereof, beginning after the Closing Date except to the extent that such Taxes (including any Transfer Taxes) are imposed in connection with or arising directly from the Restructuring or the Transferred Businesses; (C) any Taxes incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party solely as a result of Purchaser's failure to comply with Section 5.4(i)(i); and (D) any Transfer Taxes for which Purchaser is liable pursuant to Section 5.4(g) hereof. (iii) For purposes of this Section 5.4(b), the term Taxes shall include Losses directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of any liability for Taxes. (c) Computation of Tax Liabilities. (i) Proration of Taxes and Earnings and Profits. To the extent permitted by law or administrative practice, the taxable years of Sterling and each Subsidiary shall end on and include the Closing Date. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes, or the earnings and 93 profits, of Sterling or any Subsidiary for a portion of a taxable year or period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the determination of the Taxes or the earnings and profits for the portion of the year or period ending on, and the portion of the year or period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the taxable year or period ended on and included the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis and annual property taxes shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the annual period elapsed through the Closing Date as compared to the number of days in the annual period elapsing after the Closing Date. (ii) Standalone Basis. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability of Sterling and the Subsidiaries for Taxes, such liability shall be computed as if Sterling and the Subsidiaries were not members of Seller's affiliated, combined or unitary group for Tax purposes. (d) Tax Returns. (i) Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed when due (A) all Tax Returns for Sterling or the Subsidiaries due to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date and (B) all Tax Returns for Sterling or the Subsidiaries with respect to U.S. Federal, state and local income taxes imposed with respect to the taxable periods, or portions thereof, beginning before and ending on the Closing Date which are required or permitted by law or administrative 94 practice to be filed with respect to a taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning before and ending on the Closing Date. (ii) Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed when due all other Tax Returns with respect to the Continuing Business due to be filed after the Closing Date. (iii) If either Purchaser or Seller may be liable for any material portion of the Tax payable in connection with any Tax Return to be filed by the other, the party responsible for filing such return (the "Preparer") shall prepare and deliver to the other party (the "Payor") a copy of such return and any schedules, work papers and other documentation then available that are relevant to the preparation of the portion of such return for which the Payor is or may be liable hereunder not later than 60 days before the Due Date. The Preparer shall not file such return until the earlier of either the receipt of written notice from the Payor indicating the Payor's consent thereto, or the Due Date. The Payor shall have the option of providing to the Preparer, at any time at least 30 days prior to the Due Date, written instructions as to how the Payor wants any, or all, of the items for which it may be liable reflected on such Tax Return. Failure by the Payor to give such written notice at least 30 days prior to the Due Date shall constitute a waiver by the Payor of its right to provide instructions. 95 The Preparer shall, in preparing such return, cause the items for which the Payor is liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with the Payor's instructions and, in the absence of having received such instructions, in accordance with past practice, subject in each case to the Preparer's consent thereto. A party may withhold its consent only if such party believes that the manner of reporting of an item on the return adversely affects that party. With respect to any Tax Return covering the taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date the parties agree that the Purchaser shall not fail to consent to reflecting on such return all items for which the Seller is liable on a basis which is consistent with past practice. With respect to any Tax Return, the Purchaser shall not object to any item which relates to the allocation of purchase price with respect to any Restructuring transaction and is in accordance with a written agreement entered into by Seller or Sterling, or both. If the Preparer refuses to consent to preparing the return as instructed by the Payor or the Payor refuses to consent to the return as prepared by the Preparer, or both, the parties shall cooperate in good faith in attempting to resolve their disagreement and prepare a return which both parties consent to. If the disagreement has not been resolved at least 20 days before the Due Date, the dispute shall be referred to the CPA Firm which shall determine, with respect 96 to each disputed item: (1) which party (the "Prevailing Party") is advocating the more reasonable legal position for reporting that item (the "Prevailing Position") and (2) if requested, which party's estimate of the present value of the cost the Prevailing Party will incur as a result of taking the position (the "Non-Prevailing Position") put forth by the other party (the "Non-Prevailing Party") is more reasonable (the "Reasonable Cost"). After the dispute has been resolved, each disputed item shall be recorded, if the dispute is resolved prior to the Due Date, on the initial return which is filed by the Preparer, or if the dispute is resolved after the Due Date, on an amended return (if at the time the dispute is resolved the return has already been filed and it is still possible at that time to file an amended return) in accordance with (A) the Prevailing Position or (B) if the Non-Prevailing Party agrees to pay to the Prevailing Party the Reasonable Cost, the Non- Prevailing Position. If the dispute has not been resolved or the CPA Firm has not made its determination prior to the Due Date, (1) each disputed item shall be reported on the return that is filed by the Preparer on the Due Date in accordance with the Preparer's position (modified to the extent necessary to incorporate any changes the parties have agreed upon) and (2) the Payor shall pay to the Preparer the amount for which the Payor would be liable if the return was filed as instructed by the Payor 97 (modified to the extent necessary to incorporate any changes the parties have agreed upon) (the "Requested Amount"). When the amount due to the Preparer from the Payor in respect of such Tax Return is finally determined, a settlement payment shall be made in an amount equal to the amount finally determined to be due minus the Requested Amount plus interest on such difference at the Prime Rate calculated from the Due Date. If the Preparer fails to satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), the Payor shall have no obligation to indemnify the Preparer for any Taxes which are reflected on any such return or any related Loss, and shall retain any and all remedies it may otherwise have which arise out of such failure. (e) Information to be Provided by Purchaser. (i) With respect to Tax Returns to be filed by Seller pursuant to Section 5.4(d) hereof, Purchaser shall, within 60 days following the end of the taxable year beginning before and ending on or after the Closing Date, prepare and provide to Seller a package of tax information materials (the "Tax Package"), which shall be completed in accordance with the past practice of Sterling and any Subsidiary included on any such returns, including past practice as to providing the information, schedules, work papers and other documentation, as to the method of computation of separate taxable income or other relevant measures of income and as to the calculation 98 and claiming of foreign tax credits. Purchaser shall cause the Tax Package for the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date to be delivered to Seller within 60 days after the Closing Date. (ii) Foreign Tax Receipts. To the extent not con- tained in the Tax Package, Purchaser shall to the extent possible promptly, after receipt, deliver or cause to be delivered to the tax director of Seller certified copies of all receipts for foreign Taxes with respect to any taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, and any other documentation required in connection with Seller or its Affiliates claiming or supporting a claim for foreign tax credits in connection with such foreign Taxes. In addition, Purchaser, upon request of Seller's tax director, agrees to request and obtain, at Seller's expense, for Seller from local tax authorities receipts for foreign Taxes which have not been provided to Seller or Purchaser. (f) Contest Provisions. (i) Notification of Contests. Each of Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand (the "Recipient"), shall notify the tax director of the other party in writing within 30 days of receipt by the Recipient of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, adjustments or assessments (a "Tax Audit") which may affect the liability for Taxes of such other party. If the Recipient fails to give such prompt notice to the other party it shall 99 not be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes arising in connection with such Tax Audit if such failure to give notice materially adversely affects the other party's right to participate in the Tax Audit. (ii) Which Party Controls. (A) Seller's Items. If such Tax Audit relates to any period ending on or prior to the Closing or for any Taxes for which Seller is liable in full hereunder, Seller shall at its expense control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit. (B) Purchaser's Items. If such Tax Audit relates to any period beginning after the Closing or for any Taxes for which Purchaser is liable in full hereunder, Purchaser shall at its expense control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit. (C) Combined and Mixed Items. If such Tax Audit relates to Taxes for which both Seller and Purchaser are liable hereunder, to the extent possible such Tax Items will be distinguished and each party will control the defense and settlement of those Taxes for which it is so liable. If such Tax Audit relates to a taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning before and ending after the Closing Date and any Tax Item can not be identified as being a liability of only one party or cannot be separated from a Tax Item for which the other party is liable, the party which has the greater potential liability for those Tax Items that cannot be so attributed or separated (or both) shall control 100 the defense and settlement of the Tax Audit, provided that such party defends the items as reported on the relevant Tax Return. In defending the item as reported on the relevant Tax Return, the party may negotiate any settlement that is reasonable provided that it does not increase the liability of the other party in an amount that is greater than such other party's pro rata share of those items and does not trade any item for which the other party has a greater liability for any item for which it has a lesser liability, unless it obtains the other's party consent thereto. (D) Participation Rights. Any party whose liability for Taxes may be affected by a Tax Audit shall be entitled to participate at its expense in such defense and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. (g) Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, trans- fer, (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties resulting directly from the sale and transfer by Seller to Purchaser of the Shares (the "Transfer Taxes"), shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Any such Transfer Taxes or fees resulting from any transfer of all or any portion of the Shares, the Investments or any asset constituting part of the Continuing Business occurring on or subsequent to the transfer of the Shares from Seller to 101 Purchaser contemplated hereby shall be borne entirely by the Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for any liabilities arising in connection therewith. Notwithstanding Section 5.4(d), which shall not apply to Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable local law for filing such Tax Returns, and such party will use its reasonable efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other party at least 10 days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Returns. (h) Certain Post-Closing Settlement Payments. (i) Purchaser's Claiming, Receiving or Using of Refunds and Overpayments. If, after the Closing, Purchaser, Sterling or any of their Affiliates (A) receive any refund, or (B) utilize the benefit of any overpayment of Taxes (except to the extent reflected on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet as a Current Asset) which, in each case (A) and (B), (x) relates to a Tax paid by Seller, Sterling or any Affiliate of either of them prior to the Closing, or (y) is the subject of indemnification by Seller pursuant to Article VII hereof, Purchaser shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller the entire amount of the refund or overpayment (including interest) received or utilized by Purchaser, Sterling or any of their Affiliates net of Purchaser's out-of- pocket costs of obtaining such refund (including Taxes). 102 Purchaser agrees to notify Seller within a reasonable period of time after the discovery of a right to claim any such refund or overpayment and the receipt of any such refund or utilization of any such overpayment. Purchaser agrees to claim any such refund or to utilize any such overpayment as soon as possible and to furnish to Seller all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the amount of the refund or overpayment. (ii) Purchaser's Use of Tax Credits. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to make any payment to Seller for the use, after the Closing, of any excess Tax credit (including any excess foreign tax credit) or net operating loss of Sterling or any Subsidiary of either of them existing as of the Closing Date, and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser for any change in the amount of such credits or net operating loss after the Closing Date which results from any adjustments made to any Tax Return which affects the amount of such credits or net operating loss. (iii) Each Party's Claiming and Realizing of Tax Benefits in Respect of Indemnified Liabilities. (A) If, after the Closing, (a) Purchaser or any of its Affiliates realizes any Loss for which it is indemnified by Seller pursuant to Article VII hereof, or (b) an adjustment required by any taxing authority in any item reflected on a Tax Return increases Seller's liability for indemnification payments 103 under this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates agree to claim any such Loss and recognize any such adjustment on their Tax Returns to the extent such position is supported by substantial authority and claim to the fullest extent possible all deductions available as a result of any such Loss or adjustment. Purchaser agrees to furnish to Seller at Seller's expense all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the amount of the decrease, if any, in Purchaser's and its Affiliate's income taxes paid solely as a result of recognizing such Loss or adjustment and claiming all such available deductions (as compared to the income taxes Purchaser and its Affiliates would otherwise have paid solely without such adjustment). Purchaser shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller an amount equal to the entire amount of such decrease (to the extent such decrease has not been accounted for in the computation of the Loss being indemnified for pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof) at the time such decrease is realized, whether realized by Purchaser and its Affiliates paying less income taxes or receiving a refund. (B) If, after the Closing, (a) Seller or any of its Affiliates realizes any Loss for which it is indemnified by Purchaser pursuant to Article VII hereof, or (b) an adjustment required by any taxing authority in any item reflected on a Tax Return increases Purchaser's liability for indemnification payments under this Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates agree 104 to claim any such Loss and recognize any such adjustment on their Tax Returns to the extent such position is supported by substantial authority and claim to the fullest extent possible all deductions available as a result of any such Loss or adjustment. Seller agrees to furnish to Purchaser at Purchaser's expense all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the amount of the decrease, if any, in Seller's and its Affiliate's income taxes paid solely as a result of recognizing such Loss or adjustment and claiming all such available deductions (as compared to the income taxes Seller and its Affiliates would otherwise have paid solely without such adjustment). Seller shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Purchaser an amount equal to the entire amount of such decrease (to the extent such decrease has not been accounted for in the computation of the Loss being indemnified for pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof) at the time such decrease is realized, whether realized by Seller and its Affiliates by paying less income taxes or receiving a refund. (C) In no event shall this Section 5.4(h)(iii) relate to a taxable year ending after December 31, 2010; provided, however, that at any time Seller and Purchaser may negotiate a settlement pursuant to which all rights and obligations under this Section 5.4(h)(iii) shall be terminated. 105 (iv) Purchaser's Carryback of Post-Closing Deduc- tions or Losses. If Sterling or the Subsidiaries are entitled to carryback any net operating loss, capital loss, excess foreign tax paid, or other similar losses, deductions or credits derived with respect to any period beginning after the Closing Date to any period prior to the Closing Date, and any such carryback results in a decrease in Seller's income taxes paid (as compared to the income taxes Seller would otherwise have paid solely without giving effect to such carryback), Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of such decrease at the time such decrease is realized by refund or otherwise. Seller shall take all necessary actions to claim any such carryback and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for its reason- able out-of-pocket expenses incurred in reviewing and responding to a request for its consent pursuant to this Section 5.4(h)(iv), and in filing and securing any such decrease. (v) Methodology and Procedure. (A) Ordering Rules. In determining, for the purposes of any provision in this Section 5.4 or Section 7.6, the amount of the decrease or increase in Taxes paid by a party as a result of realizing or utilizing any Tax Item such calculation shall be made by comparing the income taxes paid by the party taking into account such Tax Item with the income taxes the party would have paid had it not taken such Tax Item into account. It is understood that in making such 106 calculation, any Tax Item that such party would have had in the absence of the Tax Item whose effect is being determined, shall be deemed to be recognized or used first, and that the Tax Item whose effect is being determined shall be deemed to be utilized last. (B) Subsequent Adjustment. In the event that any Tax refund, benefit or savings described in any clause of this Section 5.4(h) is subsequently reduced as a result of any adjustment required by any determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, this Section 5.4(h) shall be applied, taking into account such adjustment. Additionally, if subsequent to the application of any provision of this Agreement relating to the effect of any Tax Item, any person generates any Tax Item which could have been utilized in place of the Tax Item the effect of which was previously determined to result in a Tax benefit to such person, the provision of this Agreement relating to the effect of such Tax Item shall be reapplied taking into account such subsequently created Tax Item and the parties shall make any additional payment or refund any portion of any prior payment received necessary to settle the difference between the amount previously paid and the amount subsequently determined to be due. (C) Resolution of All Tax Related Disputes. For the purposes of computing the amount of any payment due relating to the effect of any Tax Item, each party shall provide to the other, as reasonably requested by the other, 107 all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the relevant Tax effects. In the event that Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on any calculation of any amount relating to Taxes or the interpretation or application of any provision of this Agreement relating to Taxes, such dispute shall be resolved by the CPA Firm, whose decision shall be final and binding upon all persons involved and whose expenses shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser. (i) Post-Closing Actions Which Affect Seller's Liability for Taxes. (i) Purchaser shall not permit Sterling or any Subsidiary to take any action on the Closing Date which could materially increase Seller's liability for Taxes (including any liability of Seller to indemnify Purchaser for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement). (ii) Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for all Taxes resulting solely from any distribution or any deemed distribution by Sterling or any Subsidiary to its respective shareholders in excess of such entity's current earnings and profits (as computed for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and pursuant to Section 5.4(c)(i)) derived during the period beginning on the day following the Closing Date and ending on the first December 31st thereafter if the Closing Date shall not be December 31 of any year. (iii) Except to the extent required by law, neither Purchaser, Sterling, nor any Affiliate of either of them 108 shall, without the prior written consent of Seller, amend any Tax Return filed by, or with respect to, Sterling or any of its Affiliates for any taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning before the Closing Date. (j) Post-Closing Actions which Affect Purchaser's Liability for Taxes. Seller shall not reattribute any net operating losses or similar items from Sterling or any Subsidiary to Seller under Treas. Regs. 1.1502-20 or a similar law of any other taxing jurisdiction without the prior written consent of Purchaser. (k) Maintenance of Books and Records. Until the applicable statute of limitations (including periods of waiver) has run for any Tax Returns filed or required to be filed covering the periods up to and including the Closing Date, Purchaser shall retain all Books and Records in existence on the Closing Date and after the Closing Date will provide Seller access to such Books and Records for inspection and copying by Seller and its representatives during normal business hours upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice. After the expiration of such period, no such Books and Records shall be destroyed by Purchaser without first advising the tax director of Seller in writing detailing the contents of any such Books and Records and giving Seller at least 120 days to obtain possession thereof. (l) Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements or arrangements, 109 written or unwritten, binding Sterling or any Subsidiary, other than an agreement entered into in connection with the Restructuring, shall be terminated as of the Closing. (m) At or prior to Closing Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate of non-foreign status in compliance with Section 1445 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations. (n) Assistance and Cooperation. The parties agree that, after the Closing Date: (A) Each party shall assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist) the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; (B) The parties shall cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns and payments in respect thereof; (C) The parties shall make available to each other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all relevant Books and Records relating to Taxes; (D) Each party shall provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or proposed audits or assessments with respect to Taxes for which the other may have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement; (E) The parties shall furnish the other with copies of all relevant correspondence received from any taxing 110 authority in connection with any audit or information request with respect to any Taxes referred to in subsection (D) above; and (F) Except as otherwise provided herein, the party requesting assistance or cooperation shall bear the other party's out-of-pocket expenses in complying with such request to the extent that those expenses are attributable to fees and other costs of unaffiliated third-party service providers. (o) This Article V shall govern the procedure for all Tax indemnification claims. (p) Any reference in this Section 5.4 to Purchaser and its Affiliates with respect to any time after the Closing shall be deemed to include Sterling and the Subsidiaries. Section 5.5 Post-Closing Obligations to Certain Employees. (a) Purchaser shall cause each of Sterling and the Subsidiaries to continue the employment on the Closing Date, in comparable positions, of all active Employees on such date or upon the return to active employment of any Employee who is, on such date, on disability or medical leave or on Nonmedical Leave, and will maintain for a period of two years after the Closing Date, without interruption, employee compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits (including post-employment welfare benefits) that, in the aggregate, will provide benefits to Employees 111 that are no less favorable than those provided pursuant to such employee benefit plans, programs and policies, and fringe benefits, of each of Sterling and the Subsidiaries as in effect on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of two years after the Closing Date, Purchaser will cause each of Sterling and the Subsidiaries to maintain severance programs which provide to each Employee severance pay and benefits which are no less favorable than those under the severance plan, program or policy of Sterling or the Subsidiary applicable to such Employee as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Employees shall be given credit for all service with Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Sterling (or service credited by Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries or Seller) to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries or Seller, under (i) all employee benefit plans, programs and policies, and fringe benefits of Purchaser in which they become participants for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual and (ii) severance plans for purposes of calculating the amount of each Employee's severance benefits. Nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall be deemed to require the employment of any Employee to be continued for any particular period of time after the Closing Date. (b) (i) Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Eastman Kodak Employees' Savings and Investment Plan (the 112 "Seller Savings Plan") to the Sterling Winthrop Inc. Salaried Employees' Savings Plan (the "Transferee Savings Plan") the liability for the account balances of active Employees who were participants in the Seller Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan Employees"), together with assets which are reasonably acceptable to the trustee of the Transferee Savings Plan and the fair market value of which is equal to such liability, and Purchaser shall cause the Transferee Savings Plan to accept such transfer (the acceptance of the liability being conditioned upon the asset transfer). The transfer of assets shall take place within 90 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the later of (A) the furnishing to Seller by Purchaser of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the Transferee Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations, and (B) the receipt by Seller of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the Seller Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Sec- tion 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations. 113 (ii) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall establish (or, in Purchaser's discretion, designate) a defined benefit plan (the "Transferee Pension Plan") for the benefit of Employees who participated in the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (the "Seller Retirement Plan"). Such Employees are referred to hereinafter as the "Retirement Plan Employees". The Transferee Pension Plan shall (A) recognize for all purposes thereunder the service of the Retirement Plan Employees which was recognized under the Seller Retirement Plan and (B) provide, upon the transfer of assets referred to below, that the benefit liabilities of the Retirement Plan Employees under the Transferee Pension Plan shall in no event be less than their benefit liabilities under the Seller Retirement Plan as of the Closing Date. Seller shall cause to be transferred from the trust under the Seller Retirement Plan to the trust under the Transferee Pension Plan assets in the form of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (reasonably acceptable to the trustee of the Transferee Pension Plan), the fair market value of which shall be equal to the product of (x) times (y), where (x) equals the fair market value of the assets of the Seller Retirement Plan on the date of actual transfer of assets from the trust thereunder to the trust under the Transferee Pension Plan, and (y) equals a fraction, the numerator of which is the present value of the benefit liabilities on a termination basis of the Retirement Plan 114 Employees under the Seller Retirement Plan as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs) and the denominator of which is the present value of the benefit liabilities on a termination basis of all participants in the Seller Retirement Plan as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs); provided, however, that the benefits of the Retirement Plan Employees under the Seller Retirement Plan shall be calculated as if the credited service for each Retirement Plan Employee continued to accrue through the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such transfer of assets shall be made in compliance with Section 414(l) of the Code. Purchaser shall cause the Transferee Pension Plan to accept such transfer. The amount to be transferred shall be equitably adjusted to take into account non-investment receipts and disbursements of the Seller Retirement Plan after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer provided for in this subparagraph, such as distributions, contributions and plan to plan transfers. The benefit liabilities under the Seller Retirement Plan shall be valued as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs), on the basis of the actuarial assumptions for the Seller Retirement Plan as contained in the most recent 115 actuarial report for such Plan that is available as of the date of this Agreement, as determined by the actuary for the Seller Retirement Plan and reviewed by the actuary for the Transferee Pension Plan. The transfer of assets referred to above shall take place within 180 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the last to occur of the following: (i) Purchaser has furnished to Seller a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the Transferee Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with the changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations, (ii) the receipt by Seller of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the Seller Retirement Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to (A) comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations and (B) provide for the transfer of assets and benefit liabilities referred to in this Section, and (iii) the receipt of any other necessary governmental approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.5, until the date of the actual transfer of assets from the Seller Retirement Plan to 116 the Transferee Pension Plan, Purchaser and the Transferee Pension Plan shall be entitled to offset (i) the benefit which would otherwise be payable to an Employee by the Transferee Pension Plan at the Employee's retirement or vested termination of employment by (ii) the accrued benefit with respect to such Employee under the Seller Retirement Plan (the offset so calculated to apply without regard to the benefit actually paid by the Seller Retirement Plan). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, (A) in the event that the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency takes the position in a determination letter, ruling, advisory opinion or other written or oral communication that the transfer of assets referred to in this Section cannot be made unless (i) addi- tional contributions are made to the Seller Retirement Plans or the Transferee Pension Plan or (ii) the Seller Retirement Plan retains primary or secondary liability with respect to the benefit liabilities under such Seller Retirement Plan attributable to Retirement Plan Employees or (B) in the event that a lawsuit is instituted by any of the foregoing or by one or more participants in, or fiduciaries (other than Seller or Purchaser) of, the Seller Retirement Plan or the Transferee Pension Plan which seeks to enjoin such transfer, to require additional contributions to the Seller Retirement Plan or the Transferee Pension Plan, or to have the Seller Retirement Plan remain liable in whole or in part with respect to any of the 117 benefit liabilities under such Seller Retirement Plan attribu- table to Retirement Plan Employees, then the transfer of assets referred to in this Section from the Seller Retirement Plan will not be made until the earliest of (I) the date the issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or such lawsuit are resolved favorably, and Seller and the Seller Retirement Plan shall make every effort in good faith to carry out the asset transfer, includ- ing, but not limited to, the vigorous defense of any lawsuit described in clause (B), and the exhaustion of all rights of available judicial review and appeal, or (II) the date Seller and Purchaser enter into a written agreement to resolve on a basis mutually satisfactory to them the issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or such lawsuit. (iii) Pending the completion of the transfers des- cribed in this paragraph (b), Seller and Purchaser shall make arrangements for any required payments to the Savings Plan Employees and the Retirement Plan Employees from the Seller Savings Plan and the Seller Retirement Plan. Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with access to information reasonably necessary in order to carry out the provisions of this paragraph. Seller and Purchaser shall each use their best efforts to satisfy promptly the conditions for such transfers and to implement such transfers as soon as practicable. 118 (c) If Purchaser shall include the Employees and their beneficiaries in Purchaser's medical, dental or health plans, such plans shall waive any preexisting condition limi- tations and shall, if such inclusion occurs in the calendar year which includes the Closing Date, honor any deductible and out of pocket expenses incurred by such Employees and their beneficiaries under the medical, dental or health plans of Seller and the Subsidiaries during the portion of the calendar year preceding the Closing Date. (d) Purchaser shall give Seller at least 90 days advance written notice of any transfer of assets and liabili- ties from the Sterling Winthrop Inc. Hourly Employees' Savings Plan or the Sterling Products International Inc. Pension Plan for Employees who are Employed at Facilities Located in Puerto Rico (the "Puerto Rico Pension Plan") pursuant to Section 5.5(c) of the Ethical Purchase Agreement. At the time such notice is given, Purchaser shall cause Sterling to provide Seller with appropriate information in order to enable Seller to verify the determination of the calculation of the assets and liabilities to be transferred, including information relating to such transfer which Sterling (or its representatives) provides to Sanofi (or its representatives) pursuant to the Ethical Purchase Agreement. (e) Purchaser shall use its best efforts to provide for transfers of assets and liabilities from (i) Sterling's non-U.S. benefit plans to non-U.S. benefit plans for employees 119 of the L&F Transferred Business in an equitable manner and (ii) the Puerto Rico Pension Plan to a defined benefit plan for employees of the L&F Transferred Business participating therein, in an equitable manner. Section 5.6 Compliance with WARN, etc. Purchaser with respect to the Employees will timely give all notices required to be given under WARN or other similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff or as otherwise required by any such statute. Section 5.7 Notification of Certain Matters. Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Seller of the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be reasonably likely to cause (i) any representation or warranty of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing as the case may be, or (ii) Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to fail to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice. 120 Section 5.8 License Agreements. (a) At the Closing, Sterling and Seller shall execute and deliver, and Seller shall cause any other Affiliate of Seller necessary to the effectiveness of this Section 5.8 to execute and deliver, an exclusive, non- assignable (except in whole or in part to Affiliates of Sterling or Purchaser or upon the sale by Sterling of a substantial portion of the assets related to the license), perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license agreement pursuant to which Seller will license to Sterling nanoparticulate technology (including patents and patent applications) to the extent necessary to permit Sterling to, and to hire others (on terms reasonably satisfactory to Seller) to, develop, manufacture and sell products containing naproxen as an over- the-counter product; provided, however, that no representation will be made that Seller's technology constitutes all the technology necessary for the development, manufacture or sale of such product. In addition to the terms stated above, the other provisions of said licenses shall be those normal and customary to similar licenses consistent with Seller's past practices. (b) At the Closing, Sterling and Seller shall execute and deliver, and Seller shall cause any other Affiliate of Seller necessary to the effectiveness of this Section 5.8 to execute and deliver, a non-assignable (except in whole or in part to Affiliates of Sterling or Purchaser or 121 upon the sale by Sterling of a substantial portion of the assets related to the license), perpetual, worldwide, royalty- free license agreement pursuant to which Seller will license to Sterling gelcap and geltab technology (including patents and patent applications) to the extent necessary to permit Sterling to, and to hire others (on terms reasonably satisfactory to Seller) to, develop, manufacture and sell human pharmaceutical products currently under development or similar products for the same or similar indications to be sold as part of the Continuing Business as over-the-counter products; provided, however, that no representation will be made that Seller's technology constitutes all the technology necessary for the development, manufacture or sale of such products. Such license shall be exclusive as to analgesics that are over-the-counter human pharmaceutical products and shall be non-exclusive as to other over-the-counter human pharmaceutical products. In addition to the terms stated above, the other provisions of said licenses shall be those normal and customary to similar licenses consistent with Seller's past practices. Section 5.9 Certain Provisions Relating to the Restructuring. (a) Seller shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, complete the Restructuring prior to the Closing. Purchaser will cooperate with Seller and Sterling in carrying out the Restructuring. If Seller becomes aware that any 122 portion of the Restructuring is not likely to be complete prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, in the event that assets and liabilities of Sterling constituting part of the Transferred Businesses will not be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered prior to the Closing), Seller shall attempt to identify such portion of the Restructuring (and such assets and liabilities) and give Purchaser notice thereof. In the event that portions of the Restructuring are not complete prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, in the event that assets and liabilities of Sterling constituting part of the Transferred Businesses have not been sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered because a required authorization, approval, consent or waiver has not been obtained), then (i) Purchaser shall cause Sterling and the Subsidiaries, at Seller's sole cost and expense, to comply with any provisions of the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement and any other agreement to which Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries is a party relating to holding, operating and transferring any such assets and liabilities and performing any unperformed obligations of Sterling or any such Subsidiary in connection with such por- tions of the Restructuring as are not complete and (ii) Pur- chaser shall cause Sterling and the Subsidiaries to take such steps as directed in writing by Seller as are necessary to permit Seller to complete the Restructuring in the manner selected by Seller and to transfer to Seller (or the Person 123 designated by Seller), without payment of further consideration, any assets or cash received by Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries in connection with the Restructuring. (b) In the event that record ownership of any assets or liabilities related to a portion of a Transferred Business has not been transferred prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall hold, solely of record and not beneficially, the portion of such Transferred Business represented by such assets and liabilities for the benefit of such Person as may be designated by Seller, and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause Sterling and its Affiliates to use their reasonable best efforts pending the transfer of record ownership of the portion of such Transferred Business represented by such assets and liabilities, to provide to Seller's designee all of the benefits and liabilities associated with the ownership and operation of the portion of such Transferred Business represented by such assets and liabilities and, accordingly, Purchaser and Sterling shall cause the portion of such Transferred Business represented by such assets and liabilities to be operated as may reasonably be instructed by Seller or its designee; provided, however, that Purchaser, Sterling and their respective Affiliates shall not have any liability to Seller or any other Person in respect of any action taken with respect to such assets and liabilities in accordance with such instructions. In performing its 124 obligations hereunder, neither Purchaser, nor Sterling, nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be construed to be a trustee or other fiduciary for the beneficial owner of such portion of the Transferred Business. (c) Purchaser acknowledges that, in connection with the Restructuring, Seller and Sterling have entered into the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement, and that Seller, Sterling and certain Affiliates of Sterling will enter into certain other agreements relating to the Restructuring. Seller will consult with Purchaser before entering into such other agreements and will not agree to any terms which impose material liabilities or obligations on Sterling or any of the Subsidiaries following the Closing without Purchaser's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser's consent shall not be deemed to have been reasonably withheld if Seller shall have agreed to fully indemnify Purchaser against any Losses associated with such liabilities or obligations and Purchaser believes in its reasonable judgment that such indemnity is enforceable. Purchaser agrees to cause Sterling and its Subsidiaries to perform their obligations under the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement and such other agreements relating to the Restructuring in accordance with their respective terms. (d) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to bring about the Closing (as defined in the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement) of the transfer of the Ethical Transferred 125 Business by the end of the day on October 1, 1994 or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Seller shall provide to Purchaser for its review, and shall consult with Seller with respect to, all schedules prepared identifying assets and liabilities to be transferred pursuant to the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement. (e) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause Sterling to transfer the UPT Facility to Seller, an Affiliate of Seller or any other Person designated by Seller. (f) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause Sterling either to transfer the Nanoparticulate Business Unit to Seller, an Affiliate of Seller or any other Person designated by Seller. (g) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause Sterling to transfer the L&F Transferred Business to Seller, an Affiliate of Seller or any other Person designated by Seller. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement and in furtherance of the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.9, Purchaser acknowledges that record ownership of certain assets and liabilities constituting part of the L&F Transferred Business may not be transferred out of Sterling or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. With respect to any such assets and liabilities, Purchaser shall agree with Seller, the Affiliate of Seller or such other Person, as the case may be, 126 as to the means of such transfer of such assets and liabilities. (h) On the closing date under the L&F Purchase Agreement, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall cause Sterling to execute and deliver a transitional services agreement or agreements with the purchaser or purchasers of the L&F Transferred Business pursuant to which for a period of 12 months following the closing date under the L&F Purchase Agreement, Sterling shall make available to such purchaser or purchasers the support and administrative services currently being provided to the L&F Transferred Business on terms, and for a price equal to Sterling's fully allocated cost determined on a basis, substantially consistent with Sterling's recent historical practice, including, without limitation, computer and data processing services and any software associated therewith, customer billing services, customer equipment services, site services, utility services, distribution services and maintenance services for equipment included in the L&F Transferred Business. (i) At the closing under the L&F Purchase Agreement, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall cause Sterling to execute and deliver a supply agreement pursuant to which Sterling shall agree to maintain in place all written agreements existing on the closing date under the L&F Purchase Agreement that provide for the supply by Sterling of materials to the L&F Transferred Business for a period of 127 three years from the closing date under the L&F Purchase Agreement. The supply agreement under this Section 5.9(i) and the transitional services agreement under Section 5.9(h), the performance of which are not material to the Continuing Business, shall collectively be referred to as the "L&F Continuing Services Agreements". (j)(i) On the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a transitional services agreement (the "Kodak Transitional Services Agreement") pursuant to which Purchaser will agree to cause Sterling to provide Seller with support and administrative services (other than tax- related services) through December 31, 1995. Such services will be provided to Seller at a price equal to Sterling's fully allocated cost determined on a basis substantially consistent with Sterling's recent historical practice. Such transitional services shall include, without limitation, services in respect of finance, legal and human resources. Purchaser acknowledges that the employees of Sterling listed in Schedule 5.9(j) hereto have entered into letter agreements with Sterling providing for their continued employment by Sterling for the term specified in Schedule 5.9(j). Purchaser agrees that so long as such employees remain employees of Sterling, Purchaser will make such employees (other than those employees identified as tax employees) available to Seller in carrying out its obligations under the Kodak Transitional Services Agreement. In the event that, prior to December 31, 128 1995, any of the employees listed in Schedule 5.9(j) shall cease to be employees of Sterling, Purchaser shall arrange for the provision by other employees (other than those employees identified as tax employees) of, or consultants to, Sterling or by employees (other than those employees identified as tax employees) of, or consultants to, Purchaser of the services required pursuant to the Kodak Transitional Services Agreement. The parties acknowledge that such employees or consultants may also be required to perform services for Sanofi and the purchaser under the L&F Purchase Agreement and Purchaser agrees to make such employees or consultants available pursuant to the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement and the L&F Purchase Agreement. Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the post-closing stay bonuses provided for in the letter agreements of the employees of Sterling listed on Schedule 5.9(j) (to the extent earned by such individuals in accordance with the terms of their letter agreements). (ii) On the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a tax transitional services agreement pursuant to which (i) Purchaser shall agree that on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause Sterling to offer continued employment to the employees identified as tax employees on Schedule 5.9(j) and that so long as such employees remain employees of Sterling, they shall report directly to the tax department of Seller during the term of their letter agreements, (ii) Seller shall agree that, so long 129 as such employees remain employees of Sterling and during the term of the letter agreements (A) it will direct such employees to devote a reasonable amount of their time, at no charge to Purchaser or Sterling, to the work necessary in connection with Sterling's ongoing tax compliance and (B) Seller will perform Sterling's continuing obligations to provide tax-related services pursuant to the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement and the L&F Purchase Agreement and (iii) in the event that, prior to December 31, 1995, any of the tax employees identified on Schedule 5.9(j) shall cease to be employees of Sterling, Purchaser shall arrange for the provision by other tax employees of, or consultants to, Sterling or by tax employees of, or consultants to, Purchaser of the services formerly provided by such tax employees identified on Schedule 5.9(j). For the period through December 31, 1995, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser (or Sterling, as the case may be) for Purchaser's (or Sterling's) fully allocated cost of providing such tax services determined on a basis substantially consistent with Sterling's recent historical practice, including, in the case of the tax employees identified on Schedule 5.9(j), the post-closing stay bonuses provided for in such employees' letter agreements (to the extent earned by such individuals in accordance with the terms of their letter agreements). Seller shall be entitled to receive all compensation and reimbursement payments payable under the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement and the L&F 130 Purchase Agreement in respect of services performed by the tax employees prior to December 31, 1995. (k) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement, the following general principles shall be applied in any agreement entered into in connection with the Restructuring whereunder Sterling or any of its Subsidiaries is to supply goods or services to or in respect of any Person, asset or liability that is not part of the Continuing Business: (i) services shall be supplied at a price equal to Sterling's fully allocated cost, (ii) goods shall be supplied at a price equal to Sterling's fully allocated cost plus 3%, (iii) Sterling's fully allocated cost shall be determined on a basis substantially consistent with Sterling's recent historical practice, (iv) such agreement shall be terminable at Sterling's option after three years, and (v) such agreement shall otherwise be on terms substantially consistent with Sterling's recent historical practice. (l) If any payment of monies is made by Sterling or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.9 in respect of any assets or liabilities which are, or are to be, part of the Transferred Business, to Seller or another Person designated by Seller, such payment shall be made net of all remittance costs (i.e., the costs of being a "conduit"), including withholding, documentary, stamp and similar Taxes related to the making of such payment. Purchaser may set off, 131 and may cause Sterling or any of its Subsidiaries to set off, against payments due pursuant to this Section 5.9 to Seller, the amount of any indemnity payments due under Section 7.3 hereof but unpaid. (m) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.9, (i) neither Sterling nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to hold or operate any assets or liabilities which are to be part of the Transferred Business for any period after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, and from and after such third anniversary Purchaser may require Seller to cause any such assets or liabilities to be transferred to Seller or a Person designated by Seller, and (ii) Purchaser shall not be required to, and shall not be required to cause Sterling or any of its Subsidiaries to take, or refrain from taking, any action with respect to assets or liabilities which are to be part of the Transferred Business, if such action or omission to act would constitute a violation of law or if Purchaser reasonably believes that the indemnities provided to Purchaser under this Agreement are insufficient to hold Purchaser harmless, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulting from such action or omission. Section 5.10 Transfer of Certain Assets and Lia- bilities. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall cause Sterling to transfer to one or more Affiliates of Seller (i) the items of owned and leased real property listed in Schedule 5.10(i); (ii) the fixtures and equipment listed in Schedule 5.10(ii); 132 (iii) Sterling's rights under the Royal Insurance Litigation (and Seller shall assume responsibility for prosecuting such litigation); and (iv) the items listed on Schedule 5.10(iv). Section 5.11 Financial Information. Purchaser shall, and shall cause Sterling to, provide Seller and its accountants (i) all data and financial statements requested by Seller and (ii) full access to the Books and Records, any other information, including work papers of its accountants, and to any employees to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller (i) to prepare its consolidated financial statements and to comply with reporting obligations in respect thereof and (ii) to comply with its other obligations hereunder, under the Ethical Asset Purchase Agreement, the L&F Purchase Agreement and any other agreement relating to the Restructur- ing. Section 5.12 Retained Employees. Prior to the Closing, Seller and Sterling will take such steps as are necessary to transfer employment of the persons listed in Schedule 5.12 from Sterling to Seller or an Affiliate of Seller. Purchaser acknowledges and consents to such transfer. Section 5.13 Management of Certain Liabilities. (a) Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller shall hereby be hired by Sterling and Purchaser to undertake the complete administration and management of the environmental remediation of the properties listed in Schedule 5.13(a) and the other environmental and other contingent liabilities 133 listed in Schedule 5.13(a). Pursuant thereto, Seller or an Affiliate of Seller designated by Seller shall administer, manage and conduct such remediation (to the extent such remediation is required by any Environmental Laws, Governmental Entity or agreement of the parties). Such administration and management shall include, but shall not be limited to, direct payment, on behalf of Sterling and Purchaser, of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with administering, managing and conducting such remediation (including, but not limited to, all costs related to hiring third parties and all administrative costs including costs related to Seller's or such Affiliate of Seller's personnel) and shall bill Sterling for all such expenses and Seller's or such Affiliate's management services and provide a summary of the status of each remediation or liability at least annually. (b) Sterling and Purchaser shall appoint Seller or such Affiliate of Seller their attorney-in-fact to take actions required to be taken in connection with the admini- stration and management of such properties and liabilities and shall take all such further actions as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 5.13. (c) Purchaser shall not (i) assign or transfer any such properties or liabilities or take any other similar action with respect to such properties or liabilities that could (x) cause Purchaser to lose the ability to deduct for 134 income tax purposes expenses paid by Seller on behalf of Purchaser in respect of such properties and liabilities or (y) increase Seller's liability in respect of such properties or adversely affect Seller's ability to manage such properties or liabilities, or (ii) enter upon or permit any other person to enter upon any such properties or take any other action that could increase the liability of Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(v). Section 5.14 Further Assurances. At any time after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents reasonably requested by Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, and necessary for Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, to satisfy its respective obligations hereunder or obtain the benefits contemplated hereby. Section 5.15 Resignations. At the Closing and except as otherwise requested by Purchaser, Seller will deliver to Purchaser the resignations (effective on or prior to Closing) of all directors of Sterling and of each Subsidiary from their positions as directors, and Seller will cause each such director holding director's qualifying shares in the relevant entity to transfer at Closing to Purchaser (or Purchaser's designee) without payment therefor such shares. 135 ARTICLE VI CONDITIONS TO CLOSING Section 6.1 Conditions to the Obligations of Pur- chaser and Seller.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. (a) Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, attorneys, accountants, agents and 140 employees and their heirs, successors and assigns (the "Seller Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of any damages, claims, losses, charges, actions, suits, proceedings, deficiencies, Taxes, interest, penalties, and reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attor- neys' fees, removal costs, remediation costs, closure costs, fines, penalties and expenses of investigation and ongoing monitoring) (collectively, the "Losses") imposed on, sus- tained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of (i) subject to Section 7.2(b), any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and (iii) all other liabilities (other than Indemnified Liabilities) relating to, or constituting a cost of, the Continuing Business. (b) Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 7.2(a)(i) except to the extent (and then only to the extent) the Losses therefrom exceed $20,000,000 and then only for all such Losses in excess thereof up to an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000,000. Section 7.3 Indemnification by Seller. (a) Seller hereby agrees that it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, share 141 holders, partners, attorneys, accountants, agents and employees and their heirs, successors and assigns (the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties" and, collectively with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the "Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of any Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Pur- chaser Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of (i) subject to Section 7.3(b), any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in this Agreement (other than Section 3.22); (ii) any liability or expense of Sterling relating to, or arising out of, the Transferred Businesses or holding and operating any assets or liabilities which are to be part of the Transferred Business, or otherwise constituting a cost of the Restructuring (in each case to the extent not reimbursed by a third party), whether arising prior to or after the Closing, including any liability of Sterling relating to the Transferred Businesses listed in Schedule 7.3(a)(ii); provided that this Section 7.3(a)(ii) shall not apply to any liability to the extent that such liability arises out of the breach by Purchaser of any covenant contained in Article V with respect to the Transferred Businesses or the breach by Sterling of any of the agreements of Sterling referred to in Section 5.9(c); (iii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement; (iv) any item listed on Schedule 5.13(a), including any expense incurred by Sterling or Purchaser in the 142 management, administration and satisfaction of such liabilities and any other liabilities associated with the properties to which such liabilities relate; (v) any Indemnified Liability; (vi) any Undisclosed OTC Environmental Liability; (vii) 50% of any Unknown OTC Environmental Liability; and (viii) 50% of any OTC Products Liability to the extent that the aggregate of all OTC Products Liabilities exceeds the reserve included on the Balance Sheet in respect of products liabilities plus the amount of all additional such reserves accrued after the date of the Balance Sheet and prior to the Closing Date (to the extent such additional reserves result in a decrease in Net Working Capital). It is understood that Seller shall not indemnify Purchaser for any Disclosed OTC Environmental Liability. The right of Purchaser to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(vi), Section 7.3(a)(vii) and Section 7.3(a)(viii) shall terminate upon the eighth anniversary of this Agreement, provided that the right of Purchaser to indemnification under Section 7.3(a)(viii) with respect to Reyes Syndrome cases shall terminate upon the fifteenth anniversary of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that this Article VII constitutes Purchaser's sole remedy with respect to any Losses or liability under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Hazardous Substance and expressly waives any other rights or cause of action under any Environmental Law or with respect to any claim involving the presence or exposure to any Hazardous Substance. 143 (b) Seller shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 7.3(a)(i) except to the extent (and then only to the extent) the Losses therefrom exceed $20,000,000 and then only for all such Losses in excess thereof up to an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000,000 (it being understood that the foregoing limitation does not apply to the matters contained in Section 7.3(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), and (viii)). (c) In the event that Seller is the subject of a proposed Change In Control Transaction (as defined below), Seller agrees that, as a condition to the consummation of such Change in Control Transaction, it will cause the acquiring Person to expressly assume Seller's obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all of Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder and thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7.3(c), the term "Change in Control Transaction" shall mean any transaction pursuant to which (i) any Person acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Seller capital stock pursuant to an agreement with Seller, (ii) any Person acquires 50% or more of the total assets of Seller and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) any Person merges, consolidates or combines in any other way with Seller or any of its subsidiaries and (iv) Seller makes a stock dividend or any other distribution (of stock or assets) with respect to its common stock or subdivides, combines or 144 reclassifies its common stock and, as a result thereof, any Person owns more than 50% of the voting power of Seller's capital stock. Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to third party claims other than those relating to Taxes, all claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 7.4. In the event that any claim or demand for which an indemnifying party, Seller or Purchaser as the case may be (an "Indemnifying Party") may be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder (a "Claim") is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 15 days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of written notice of such Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim) (the "Claim Notice"). The failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to give any such Claim Notice within such 15 day period shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not the 145 Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim and (b) whether or not it desires to defend the Indemni- fied Party against such Claim. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such Claim shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the amount of such costs and expenses that shall be a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(b) hereof. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not take any action which would result in the creation, and shall promptly seek the removal, of any Encumbrance on the property or assets of the Indemnified Party resulting from such Claim or the litigation thereof. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense it may do so at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Claim for which it is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party unless the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the 146 Indemnified Party against such Claim. The Indemnifying Party may, with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which (i) includes as a term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a duly executed written unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such action, which release shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Indemnified Party and (ii) would not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates to own, hold and use their respective assets or operate businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to defend, settle or compromise any Claim with respect to which it has waived its right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party, during the period the Indemnifying Party is determining whether to elect to assume the defense of a matter covered by this section, may take such reasonable actions as it deems necessary to preserve any and all rights with respect to the matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Party's rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or 147 otherwise, then the amount of any such Claim, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful (and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such defense) shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(b) hereof. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall direct, control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts in the defense of all such claims. Section 7.5 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by Seller or Purchaser under Article V and this Article VII shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price except to the extent such treatment is not permitted by the applicable Tax Law. In the event that such treatment is disputed by any taxing authority, the party receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other party concerning resolution of such dispute. Section 7.6 Computation of Losses Subject to Indem- nification. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification 148 is provided under this Article VII or otherwise in this Agreement shall be computed net of the actual decrease in income taxes paid as a result of realizing or reflecting such Loss for tax purposes (calculated in accordance with the methodology and procedures set forth in Section 5.4(h)) and any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party pursuant to an insurance policy listed on Schedule 3.20 with respect to such Loss. ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by agreement of Purchaser and Seller; (b) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to January 31, 1995 (unless the failure to consummate the Closing by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to have fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations of Purchaser under Section 5.3 hereof); (c) by either Seller or Purchaser if any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental Entity shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree 149 or injunction or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; (d) by Purchaser if Seller has materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Closing or if such breach is capable of being cured, is not so cured within a reasonable amount of time; (e) by Seller if Purchaser has materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Closing or if such breach is capable of being cured, is not so cured within a reasonable amount of time; or (f) by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, if the Closing shall not have occurred within two Business Days of the date set forth in Section 2.4(a) for the Closing as a result of any action or inaction by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be. Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability 150 to the other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties hereto contained in this Section 8.2 and in Sections 9.1, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 hereof, and except that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

No notice of a "reportable event", within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Pension Plan or by an ERISA Affiliate within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof. (d) Neither any Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has an "accumulated funding deficiency" (whether or not waived) within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA and no ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.16(f) hereto, Seller and the Subsidiaries have no material unfunded liabilities with respect to any "employee pension benefit plan" (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) which covers ten or more non-U.S. Employees. (g) No payment made to any employee, officer, director or independent contractor of Seller pursuant to any employment contract, severance agreement or other arrangement (a "Severance Payment") is or will be non-deductible by Buyer because of the application of Articles 280G and 4999 of the Code to the Severance Payment, and Buyer will not be required to compensate any recipient of any such payment because of the imposition of any excise tax (including any interest or penalties related thereto) on such recipient by reason of Articles 280G and 4999 of the Code. (h) The execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not result in any employee being entitled to any payment or other right or benefit of any nature from Buyer under Seller's Employee Protection Plan or any other similar agreement or plan and Buyer shall assume no liability thereunder; it being understood that nothing in this representation is intended to cover statutorily required severance programs outside the U.S.. 219 4.17 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.17 hereto or with respect to any Excluded Liability: (a) to the Knowledge of Seller, the Business is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and there are no material liabilities under any Environmental Law or Environmental Action with respect to the Business, other than non-compliance or liabilities which, individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) Seller and the Subsidiaries have not received any notice of any violation or alleged violation that is material to the Business of, or any material liability under, any Environmental Law or Environmental Action in connection with the Business during the past three years; (c) there are no writs, injunctions, decrees, orders or judgments outstanding, or any actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law or Environmental Action materially affecting the Business or the Acquired Assets; and (d) to the Knowledge of Seller, there are no material environmental permits that are nontransferable or require consent, notification or other action to remain in full force and effect following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than certain air control permits which will be obtained prior to Closing). 4.18 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV, neither Seller nor any other Person makes 220 any other express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of Seller. 4.19 Finder's Fees.

The representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Section 4.15 hereto), disregarding the phrases "in all material respects", "in any material respect" or "materially impair" or the qualification relating to Material Adverse Effect, are true and correct with only such exceptions as would not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. ARTICLE V COVENANTS 5.1 Access. (a) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall permit Buyer and its representatives to have access, during regular business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to the Business, subject to Seller's reasonable rules and regulations, and shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Buyer and its representatives any financial and operating data and other information relating to the Business as Buyer or its representatives shall from time to time reasonably request. All information provided pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall remain subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. (b) Buyer agrees to retain all Books and Records in existence on the Closing Date. Following the Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller and its representatives, during 221 normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, reasonable access to the Books and Records and other underlying data and documentation relating to the Business and make personnel of Buyer available to Seller in Seller's review thereof to the extent such access is reasonably related to any Excluded Liabilities or otherwise necessary for Seller to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any applicable law. With respect to any such access, Seller agrees to treat all information regarding Buyer and the Business as confidential pursuant to Section 5.32(a) below. 5.2 Conduct of Business. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or as Buyer shall otherwise consent to (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Seller covenants and agrees that Seller shall conduct the Business in the ordinary and usual course consistent with past practice, and use its reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business and relationships with third parties and keep available the services of present employees of the Business. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.9 and 2.10 hereof) or as Buyer shall otherwise consent to (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Seller covenants and agrees that with respect to the Business it shall not, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries not to: (a) amend the organizational documents of the Transferred Subsidiaries, except as required by law or as required to change the name of any Transferred Subsidiary; (b) incur, create or assume any Encumbrance on any of its properties other than those that would not 222 individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; (c) sell, lease, license transfer or dispose of any assets other than in the ordinary and usual course of business, except as part of a restructuring or reorganization as to which Buyer has been given notice and which reorganization or restructuring would not adversely affect in any way the Business; (d) enter into, terminate, or materially extend or modify any Contract except in the ordinary course of business; (e) with respect to any Transferred Subsidiary, set aside or pay any dividend or distribution with respect to its capital stock, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock or other equity interest, grant any options to purchase shares of its capital stock or any other equity interest or issue any shares of its capital stock or any other equity interest; (f) intentionally do any other act which would cause any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement to be or become untrue in any material respect or intentionally omit to take any action necessary to prevent any such representation or warranty from being untrue in any material respect at such time; or (g) enter into any agreement or commitment with respect to any of the foregoing. 5.3 Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer will cooperate and use their respective reasonable efforts to fulfill the conditions precedent to the other party's obligations hereunder and to vest in Buyer good and marketable title to the Acquired Assets as 223 represented in Section 4.10 hereby, including but not limited to, to secure as promptly as practicable all consents, approvals, waivers and authorizations required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer and Seller will promptly file documentary materials required by the H-S-R Act and comparable statutes to which any Subsidiary is subject and promptly file any additional information requested as soon as practicable after receipt of request thereof. To the extent that, as an accommodation to Buyer and with Buyer's prior written consent, Seller incurs costs that Buyer would otherwise have to incur in order to secure any authorization, consent, waiver or approval, Buyer shall promptly reimburse Seller for any such costs which are invoiced by Seller to Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary, proper or advisable to obtain any consent, waiver, approval or authorization relating to any anti-competition law that is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 5.4 Tax Matters. (a) Proration of Taxes. To the extent permitted by law or administrative practice, the taxable years of each Transferred Subsidiary shall be closed at the close of business on the Closing Date. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes for a portion of a taxable year or period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the determination of the Taxes for the portion of the year or period ending on, and the portion of the year or period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the taxable year or period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (other than net operating losses and tax credits carried forward from years ending 224 prior to the Closing Date) shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the annual period elapsed through the Closing Date as compared to the number of days in the annual period elapsing after the Closing Date. Net operating losses and tax credits carried forward from years ending prior to the Closing shall be allocated first, to the extent that they can be utilized, to the taxable year or period ending on the Closing Date. (b) Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, transfer, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes and fees which may be imposed or assessed as a result of the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties ("Transfer Taxes"), shall be borne entirely by Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the timely preparation and filing of any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with any Transfer Taxes. Buyer shall promptly pay all Transfer Taxes. Any such Taxes or fees resulting from any subsequent transfer of the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities or any transfer of property on or subsequent to the Closing shall be borne entirely by the Buyer, and Buyer shall indemnify Seller for any liabilities arising in connection therewith. (c) Tax Returns. (i) Seller shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns due to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date and all U.S. Federal, state and local income Tax Returns with respect to the Business imposed with respect to the taxable periods, or portions thereof, beginning before and ending on or after the Closing Date. (ii) Buyer shall file or cause to be filed when due all other Tax Returns with respect to the Business due to be filed after the Closing Date. 225 (iii) If Seller may be liable for any portion of the Tax payable in connection with any Tax Return to be filed by Buyer, Buyer shall cause such return to be prepared (A) by the same party or parties who customarily have prepared the Tax Returns filed in prior taxable periods for or by the corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business entity whose return it is and (B) on a basis which is consistent with such previously filed returns and in accordance with past practice. In addition, if any Tax Return to be filed by Buyer reflects any transaction undertaken in connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall cause such transactions to be reflected in such return in the manner directed by Seller. Buyer shall deliver a copy of each Tax Return described in either, or both, of the prior two sentences, and any schedules, work papers and other documentation then available that are relevant to the preparation of such return to Seller not less than 60 days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is due to be filed (taking into account any applicable extensions) (the "Due Date"). At any time prior to the Due Date, Seller may object to any item reflected on such Tax Return if such item may affect Seller's liability for Taxes and request Buyer to make any changes to any such item as Seller may direct. Buyer shall, prior to the Due Date, make any and all such changes requested by Seller and shall not file such return until it has made such changes and received Seller's written consent to such filing. Seller may, in its sole discretion, withhold its consent to the filing of such Tax Return until Buyer has made the changes, if any, Seller has requested. If Buyer does not satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4(c)(iii), Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer for any Taxes which are reflected on any such return or any related Loss, and shall retain any and 226 all remedies it may otherwise have which arise out of such failure. (iv) If Buyer shall be liable hereunder for any portion of the Taxes shown due on any Tax Returns required to be filed by Seller, Seller shall deliver a copy of the relevant portions of such Tax Return to Buyer for its review and approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Due Date. If Buyer objects to any items reflected on such returns, the parties shall attempt to resolve the disagreement. If the parties are unable to resolve the disagreement, the dispute shall be referred to the CPA Firm whose determination shall be binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of such CPA Firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. If the dispute has not been resolved or the CPA Firm has not made its determination prior to the Due Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount requested by Seller (the "Requested Amount"). When the amount due to Seller from Buyer in respect of such Tax Return is finally determined, a settlement payment (the "Settlement Payment") shall be made in an amount equal to the Requested Amount minus the amount finally determined to be due, from Seller to Buyer if the Settlement Payment is a positive number, and from Buyer to Seller if the Settlement Payment is a negative number. (d) Information to be Provided by Buyer. (i) With respect to Tax Returns to be filed by Seller pursuant to Section 5.4(c) hereof, Buyer shall within 60 days following the end of the taxable year beginning before and ending on or after the Closing Date prepare and provide to Seller a package of tax information materials (the "Tax Package"), which shall be completed in accordance with past practice including past practice as to providing the information, schedules and work papers and as to the method of computation of separate taxable income or other relevant 227 measures of income of the Seller. Buyer shall cause the Tax Package for the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date to be delivered to Seller within 60 days after the Closing Date. (ii) Foreign Tax Receipts. To the extent not contained in the Tax Package, Buyer shall deliver to the tax director of Seller certified copies of all receipts for any foreign Tax with respect to which Seller or any of its Affiliates could claim a foreign tax credit, and any other documentation required in connection with Seller or any of its Affiliates claiming or supporting a claim for such foreign tax credits promptly following either a request by Seller for such receipts or documentation or payment of any such foreign Taxes by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any other Person to whom Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer transfers any portion of the Acquired Assets. (e) Contest Provisions. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Buyer, of notice of any pending or threatened audits or assessments with respect to Taxes which may affect the liabilities for Taxes which constitute Excluded Liabilities. Seller shall be entitled to participate at its expense in the defense of and, at its option, take control of the complete defense of, Seller's interests in any tax audit or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes which constitute Excluded Liabilities, and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. Buyer may not agree to settle any claim for Taxes which constitute Excluded Liabilities without the prior written consent of Seller which may not be unreasonably withheld. (f) Determination and Allocation of Consideration. The parties to this Agreement agree to determine the amount of and allocate the total consideration transferred by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement 228 (the "Consideration") in accordance with the fair market value of the assets and liabilities transferred; provided, however, that the parties agree that the fair market value of the stock of Kodak Clinical Diagnostics Limited shall be at least $150,000,000. Seller shall provide Buyer with one or more schedules allocating the Consideration. If Buyer disagrees with any items reflected on the schedules so provided, Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller of such disagreement and its reasons for so disagreeing, in which case Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve the disagreement, provided, however, that Buyer agrees to accept and be bound by the determination of Seller, which agrees that such determination and allocation shall be reasonable. Seller and Buyer agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 in a timely fashion in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code. To the extent that the Consideration is adjusted after the Closing Date, the parties agree to revise and amend the schedule and IRS Form 8594 in the same manner and according to the same procedure. The determination and allocation of the Consideration derived pursuant to this subsection shall be binding on Seller and Buyer for all Tax reporting purposes. (g) Employee Withholding and Reporting Matters. With respect to those Employees who are employed by Buyer within the same calendar year as the Closing, Buyer shall, in accordance with and to the extent permitted pursuant to Revenue Procedure 84-77, 1984-2 C.B. 753, assume all responsibility for preparing and filing Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, Form W-3, Transmittal of Income and Tax Statements, Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, and Form W-5, Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate. Seller and Buyer agree to comply with 229 the procedures described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 84-77. (h) Section 338 Election. The Buyer will not make an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or a similar law of any other country with respect to the transfer by Seller or any Subsidiary of any Transferred Subsidiary other than Kodak Clinical Diagnostics Limited, with respect to which Buyer shall make an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code. (i) Certain Post-Closing Settlement Payments. (i) Buyer's Claiming, Receiving or Using of Refunds and Overpayments. If, after the Closing, Buyer or its Affiliates (A) receive any refund, or (B) utilize the benefit of any overpayment, of Taxes (except to the extent reflected as a Current Asset on the Final Working Capital Statement) which were paid by Seller or any Affiliate (as determined at the time such Taxes were paid), Buyer shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller the entire amount of the refund or overpayment (including interest) received or utilized by Buyer or its Affiliates. Buyer agrees to notify Seller promptly of both the discovery of a right to claim any such refund or overpayment and the receipt of any such refund or utilization of any such overpayment. Buyer agrees to claim any such refund or to utilize any such overpayment and to furnish to Seller all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the amount of the refund or overpayment. (ii) Buyer's Claiming and Realizing of Tax Benefits in Respect of Indemnified Liabilities. If, after the Closing, (A) Buyer or its Affiliates realizes any Loss for which it is indemnified by Seller pursuant to Article VII hereof, or (B) an adjustment is required by any taxing authority in any item reflected on a Tax Return which increases Seller's liability for indemnification payments 230 pursuant to Article VII hereof, Buyer and its Affiliates agree, as soon as possible, to claim any such Loss and recognize any such adjustment on their Tax Returns and claim to the fullest extent possible all deductions available as a result of any such Loss or adjustment. Buyer agrees to furnish to Seller all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the amount of the decrease, if any, in Buyer and its Affiliate's cumulative income taxes paid (as compared to the cumulative income taxes Buyer and its Affiliates would otherwise have paid) as a result of recognizing such Loss or adjustment and claiming all such available deductions. Buyer shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Seller an amount equal to the entire amount of such decrease at the time such decrease is realized, whether realized by Buyer and its Affiliates paying less income taxes, receiving a refund or otherwise. (iii) Subsequent Adjustment. In the event that any Tax refund, benefit or savings described in any clause of this Section 5.4(i) is subsequently reduced as a result of any adjustment required by any taxing authority, this Section 5.4(i) shall be applied, taking into account such adjustment. If Seller or its Affiliates, on the one hand, or Buyer or its Affiliates, on the other hand, have paid any amount to the other on the basis of the application of this Section 5.4(i) prior to such subsequent adjustment and the amount due pursuant to this Section 5.4(i) taking into account such subsequent adjustment is determined to have changed as a result of such subsequent adjustment, the parties agree to make any payment necessary to settle the difference between the amount previously paid and the amount subsequently determined to be due. (iv) Resolution of Calculation Disputes. In the event that Seller and Buyer cannot agree on any calculation required under this Section 5.4(i), such calculation shall 231 be made by the CPA Firm, whose decision shall be final and binding and whose expenses shall be shared equally by Seller and Buyer. (j) Post-Closing Actions Which Affect Seller's Liability for Taxes. (i) Buyer shall not permit any Transferred Subsidiary to take any action on the Closing Date which could materially increase Seller's liability for Taxes (including any liability of Seller to indemnify Buyer for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement). (ii) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first December 31st thereafter, Buyer shall not permit the Transferred Subsidiaries to (A) sell (including a deemed sale pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or a similar law of any other country), exchange, distribute, reorganize or otherwise dispose of the stock of any foreign subsidiary corporation, or dispose of any other property the sale of which produces personal holding company income within the meaning of Section 954(a)(1) of the Code or a similar law of any other country which could be reflected in any consolidated U.S. Federal income Tax return of Seller, or (B) make any distribution to shareholders in excess of current earnings and profits (as computed for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) derived during the period beginning on the day following the Closing Date and ending on the first December 31st thereafter. (iii) Except to the extent required by law, Buyer or its Affiliates shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, amend any Tax Return filed by, or with respect to, any Transferred Subsidiary for any taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning before the Closing Date. 232 (k) Termination of Tax Allocation Agreements. Any agreement or arrangement with respect to the allocation or sharing of Taxes, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by Seller and any Transferred Subsidiary shall be terminated as to Seller and any Transferred Subsidiary as of the Closing Date, and no payments which are owed by Seller pursuant thereto shall be made thereunder. (l) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Seller and Buyer shall: (A) assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist) the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with this Section 5.4; (B) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns and payments in respect thereof; (C) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all relevant information, records, and documents relating to Taxes; (D) provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or proposed audits or assessments with respect to Taxes for which the other may have a liability under this Agreement; (E) furnish the other with copies of all relevant correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit or information request with respect to any Taxes referred to in subsection (D) above; and (F) bear the other party's out-of-pocket expenses in complying with a request by a party for the other party's assistance or cooperation to the extent that 233 those expenses are attributable to fees and other costs of unaffiliated third-party service providers. 5.5 Post-Closing Obligations of the Business to Certain Employees. (a) Buyer shall offer employment, or in the case of any Subsidiaries included in the Business, subject to local law, employ all Transferred Employees (as hereinafter defined) on the Closing Date or upon the return of any Transferred Employee to active employment (within a period not to exceed 12 months from the Closing Date and subject to Section 5.5(b) hereof) in comparable positions, and will maintain for a period of two years after the Closing Date, without interruption, employee compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits (including post-employment welfare benefits) that will provide benefits to Transferred Employees that are in the aggregate substantially no less favorable (as determined by Seller prior to Closing) than those provided pursuant to such employee compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies, and fringe benefits, of the Business as in effect on the Closing Date; it being understood, that notwithstanding the foregoing aggregation, for such two year period Buyer will maintain a comparable severance plan for Transferred Employees; and it being further understood that Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller for any Losses incurred under applicable law with respect to Employees of any Subsidiary outside of the United States included in the Business who, under applicable law, elect not to be transferred. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall assume no liability whatsoever, and Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless for any Losses with respect to Transferred Employees who decline Buyer's initial offer of employment with Buyer. With regard to Employees who are not actively employed as of the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) prior to the Closing Date, provide to 234 Buyer a listing of all such Employees, including but not limited to, the circumstances of their employment status, projected date of return to active status and all benefits being provided (including without limitation all Severance Payments) and (ii) continue those benefit coverages and payments that cannot be reasonably transferred to Buyer and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any related expenses. Transferred Employees shall be given credit for all service with Seller or any Subsidiary (or service credited by Seller or any Subsidiary) under (i) all employee benefit plans, programs and policies, and fringe benefits of the Business or Buyer in which they become participants for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual and (ii) severance plans for purposes of calculating the amount of each Transferred Employee's severance benefits. In addition, for so long as the sales agency agreement entered into pursuant to Section 5.18 hereto is in effect, all of Buyer's employees needed by Seller to perform under such agreement and located at any office of Seller or any Subsidiary will be seconded to Seller, and Seller shall promptly reimburse Buyer for all compensation and other expenses related to such persons. (b) "Transferred Employees" means all of the following: (i) All Persons who are active Employees as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Employees on temporary leave for purpose of jury or annual two-week national service/military duty shall be deemed to be active status Employees; (ii) Employees who on the Closing Date are on nonmedical leaves of absence; provided, however, that no such Employee shall be guaranteed reinstatement to active service if his return to employment is contrary to the terms of his leave, unless otherwise required by 235 applicable law. For the purposes of this Section, nonmedical leaves shall include maternity or paternity leaves, leaves under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, educational leaves, military leaves with veteran's reemployment rights under federal law, or personal leaves (unless any of such is determined to be a medical leave); and (iii) Employees who on the Closing Date are on disability or medical leave; provided, however, that no such Employee shall be guaranteed reinstatement to active service if he is incapable of working in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of Buyer; it being understood that for purposes of this Agreement, other than with respect to the obligation to offer employment, Transferred Employees means all of the preceding who accept employment with Buyer. (c) (i) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish a defined contribution plan or cover such employee under a defined contribution plan sponsored by Buyer for the benefit of Transferred Employees who were participants in the Eastman Kodak Employees' Savings and Investment Plan (the "Seller Savings Plan"). Such Transferred Employees are referred to hereinafter as the "Savings Plan Employees". Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Seller Savings Plan to the plan covering the Savings Plan Employees (the "Transferee Savings Plan") the liability for the account balances, including any outstanding loans, of the Savings Plan Employees, together with assets the fair market value of which on such Transfer Date is equal to such liability, and Buyer shall cause the Transferee Savings Plan to accept such transfer. The transfer of assets shall take 236 place within 90 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the later of (i) the furnishing to Seller by Buyer of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the Transferee Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with the changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and (ii) the receipt by Seller of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the Seller Savings Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations. (ii) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall establish a defined benefit plan for the benefit of Transferred Employees who participated in the Kodak Retirement Income Plan (the "Seller Retirement Plan") or cover such Employee under a defined benefit plan sponsored by Buyer. Such Transferred Employees are referred to hereinafter as the "Retirement Plan Employees"). The plan covering the Retirement Plan Employees (the "Transferee Pension Plan") shall (A) recognize for all purposes thereunder the service of the Retirement Plan Employees which was recognized under the Seller Retirement Plan and (B) provide, upon the transfer of assets referred to below, that the benefit liabilities of the Retirement Plan Employees under the Transferee Pension Plan shall in no event be less than their benefit liabilities under the Seller Retirement Plan as of the Closing Date. Seller shall cause to be transferred from the trust under the Seller Retirement Plan to the trust under the Transferee Pension Plan assets in the form of cash, cash 237 equivalents, and marketable securities, the value of which shall be equal to (x) the "accumulated benefit obligation" (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) of the Retirement Plan Employees under such Seller Retirement Plan as of the Closing Date, calculated using the actuarial assumptions that were used in preparing the audited financial statements of Seller for the year ended December 31, 1993, except that the interest rate assumption shall be equal to the sum of (A) the yield to maturity of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds on the Closing Date and (B) 75 basis points or (y) no more than the amount permitted to be transferred in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code. With respect to the Seller Retirement Plan, the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (x) of the preceding sentence over the amount described in clause (y) therein, is referred to herein as the "Pension Shortfall Amount". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, if the minimum amount required to be transferred in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code exceeds the amount described in clause (x) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph (such excess being referred to as the "Pension Excess"), then Seller shall cause such minimum amount to be transferred from the trust under the applicable Seller Retirement Plan to the trust under the Transferee Pension Plan. Buyer shall cause the Transferee Pension Plans to accept such transfers. The amount to be transferred shall be equitably adjusted to take into account benefit payments made from the Seller Retirement Plans to the Retirement Plan Employees after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer. The amounts under the preceding two paragraphs shall be determined by the actuary for the Seller Retirement Plan and reviewed and agreed to as being done in accordance with the 238 methodology and assumptions set forth in this Section 5.5(c) by the actuary for the Transferee Pension Plan.

(ii) Methodology. In determining for the purposes of this Section 5.4 and Section 7.6 the decrease in income taxes paid by a party as a result of recognizing a Loss and claiming a deduction such calculation shall be made by comparing the income taxes paid by the party taking into account such Loss and deduction with the income taxes the party would have paid had it not taken into account such Loss and deduction.

Active and Inactive Employees shall sometimes be referred to herein as "Transferred Employees." (c) Purchaser will maintain for a period of two years after the Closing Date, without interruption, a 365 severance pay plan covering U.S. Transferred Employees from their date of employment with Purchaser which provides, under the terms of such plan, severance pay for such U.S. Transferred Employees which is equal to the greater of (i) the amount of severance pay that would have been available to them under the Seller's severance pay plan set forth on Schedule 3.10(a) and applicable to such Employees prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) the amount of severance pay that would be available to them under the Purchaser's severance pay plan applicable to such Employees.

For purposes of calculating benefit accruals under Purchaser's defined benefit pension plan, Purchaser shall credit, without duplication of benefits, Transferred Employees with their service with Seller or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (or service credited by Seller or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) under Seller's defined benefit pension plan applicable to such Employees.

Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Seller Savings Plans to the Transferee Savings Plans the liability for the account balances as of the date of transfer of the Savings Plan Employees, together with cash equal to such liability, and Purchaser shall cause the Transferee Savings Plans to accept such transfers. The transfer of cash shall take place within 90 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the later of (i) the furnishing to Seller by Purchaser of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the Transferee Savings Plans under Section 401(a) 368 of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations and (ii) the receipt by Seller of favorable determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the Seller Savings Plans under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations. (f) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall amend or establish one or more defined benefit plans (the "Transferee Pension Plans") to accept the transfer of accrued benefits of Employees who participated in the Kodak Retirement Income Plan, the Sterling Products International Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees who are Employed at Facilities Located in Puerto Rico and the Retirement Income Plan for the Hourly Employees of L&F Products (the "Seller Retirement Plans"). Such Employees are referred to hereinafter as the "Retirement Plan Employees"). The Transferee Pension Plans shall provide, upon the transfer of assets referred to below, that the benefit liabilities of the Retirement Plans Employees under the Transferee Pension Plans shall in no event be less than their benefit 369 liabilities under the Seller Retirement Plans as of the Closing Date. With respect to each Seller Retirement Plan, Kodak, Seller or Sterling, as applicable, shall cause to be transferred from the trust under such Seller Retirement Plan to the trust under the applicable Transferee Pension Plan cash equal to the product of (x) times (y), where (x) equals the fair market value of the assets of each Seller Retirement Plan on the date of actual transfer of assets from the trust thereunder to the trust under the applicable Transferee Pension Plan, and (y) equals a fraction, the numerator of which is the present value of the benefit liabilities on a termination basis of the Retirement Plan Employees under the applicable Seller Retirement Plan as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the calendar month in which Closing Date occurs) and the denominator of which is the present value of the benefit liabilities on a termination basis of all participants in the applicable Seller Retirement Plan as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the calendar month in which Closing Date occurs); provided, however, that the benefits of the Retirement Plan Employees shall be calculated as if the credited service for each Retirement Plan Employee continued to accrue through the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs. 370 Purchaser shall cause the Transferee Pension Plans to accept such transfers. The "Pension Shortfall Amount" shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the "accumulated benefit obligations" (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) of the Retirement Plan Employees under such Seller Retirement Plan as of the Closing Date, calculated using (i) the same census data and the same precision as for purposes of Section 414(l) of the Code and (ii) the actuarial assumptions that were used in preparing the audited financial statements of Seller for the year ended December 31, 1993, except that the interest rate assumption shall be equal to the sum of (A) the yield to maturity of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds on the Closing Date and (B) 75 basis points over (y) the amount actually transferred to the applicable Transferee Pension Plan. The amount to be transferred shall be equitably adjusted to take into account non-investment receipts and disbursements of the Seller Retirement Plans (i) after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer provided for in this subparagraph, such as distributions and contributions and (ii) relating to plan-to-plan transfers after the date hereof. The amounts under the preceding two paragraphs shall be determined by the actuary for the Seller Retirement Plan and reviewed and approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) as being done in accordance with the 371 methodology and assumptions set forth in this Section 5.5(f) by the actuary for the Transferee Pension Plan. The Seller Retirement Plans shall not be amended on or after the date hereof through the Closing Date to increase the benefit liabilities under such Plans. The benefit liabilities under each Seller Retirement Plan shall be valued as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs), on the basis of the actuarial assumptions for the applicable Seller Retirement Plan as contained in the most recent actuarial report for such Plan that is available as of the date of this Agreement, as determined by the actuary for the Seller Retirement Plan and reviewed by the actuary for the Transferee Pension Plan. The transfer of cash referred to above shall take place within 180 days after the Closing Date; provided, however that in no event shall such transfer take place until the last to occur of the following: (i) Purchaser has furnished to Kodak, Seller or Sterling, as applicable, a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the applicable Transferee Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations, (ii) the receipt by Kodak, Seller or Sterling, 372 as applicable, of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the applicable Seller Retirement Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to (A) comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations and (B) provide for the transfer of assets and benefit liabilities referred to in this Section, and (iii) the receipt of any other necessary governmental approval. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, (A) in the event that the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency takes the position in a determination letter, ruling, advisory opinion or other written or oral communication that the transfer of assets referred to in this Section cannot be made unless (i) additional contributions are made to a Seller Retirement Plan or a Transferee Pension Plan or (ii) a Seller Retirement Plan retains primary or secondary liability with respect to the benefit liabilities under such Seller Retirement Plan attributable to Retirement Plan Employees or (B) in the event that a lawsuit is instituted by any of the foregoing or by one or more participants in, or fiduciaries (other than Seller, Sterling, Kodak or Purchaser) of, a Seller Retirement Plan or a Transferee Pension Plan which seeks to enjoin such transfer, to require additional contributions to 373 a Seller Retirement Plan or Transferee Pension Plan, or to have a Seller Retirement Plan remain liable in whole or in part with respect to any of the benefit liabilities under such Seller Retirement Plan attributable to Retirement Plan Employees, then the transfer of assets referred to in this Section from such Seller Retirement Plan will not be made until the earliest of (I) the date the issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or such lawsuit are resolved favorably, and Seller, Sterling or Kodak and, as applicable, the Seller Retirement Plan shall make every effort in good faith to carry out the asset transfer, including, but not limited to, the vigorous defense of any lawsuit described in clause (B), and the exhaustion of all rights of available judicial review and appeal, or (II) the date Seller and Purchaser, Sterling and Purchaser, or Kodak and Purchaser, as applicable, enter into a written agreement to resolve on a basis mutually satisfactory to them the issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or such lawsuit. Pending the completion of the transfers described in this paragraph (f), Seller, Sterling or Kodak, as applicable, and Purchaser shall make arrangements for any required payments to the Retirement Plan Employees from the Seller Retirement Plans. Seller and Purchaser shall provide 374 each other with access to information reasonably necessary in order to carry out the provisions of this paragraph. (g) Purchaser shall waive any preexisting condition limitations for such conditions covered under Seller's medical, health or dental plans and shall honor any deductible and out of pocket expenses incurred by Employees and their beneficiaries under Seller's medical, dental or health plans during the portion of the calendar year preceding the Closing Date. Purchaser shall waive any medical certification under its group term life insurance plan for any Employees up to the amount of coverage such Employee had under Seller's life insurance plan (but subject to any limits on the maximum amount of coverage under Purchaser's life insurance plan). (h) Sterling shall retain the liability for amounts payable under the Sterling Winthrop Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, Sterling Winthrop Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Sterling Winthrop Inc. Foreign Service Pension Plan (the "Sterling Foreign Service Pension Plan") to all employees of Sterling and its subsidiaries who, on or before the closing date under the Asset Purchase Agreement among Kodak, Sterling and Sanofi (the "Sanofi Agreement"), have retired, are receiving or are eligible to receive long-term disability benefits, or have otherwise terminated employment, and to the beneficiaries and survivors of such employees (herein referred to collectively 375 as the "Pre-Sanofi Closing Date Former Employees"). Purchaser shall pay to Sterling quarterly on an estimated basis, within 30 days, in accordance with Seller's statement of the estimated annual cost of the amounts payable to the Pre-Sanofi Closing Date Former Employees under such Plans, an amount equal to the result of multiplying one-fourth of such annual cost for each such Plan by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of U.S. Active Employees on the closing date under the Sanofi Agreement, and the denominator of which is equal to the number of U.S. active employees of Sterling and all of its subsidiaries on the closing date under the Sanofi Agreement (which must be on or before the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 5.5(h)). (The determination of whether an employee of Sterling and its subsidiaries is an active employee shall be determined using the principles set forth in Section 5.5(d); provided, however, that with respect to the Foreign Service Pension Plan such fraction shall be determined on the basis of non-U.S. Active Employees and non-U.S. active employees of Sterling and its subsidiaries.) Any overpayment or underpayment of such annual cost shall be adjusted within 60 days after Sterling furnishes to Purchaser a statement of such annual costs (subject to review and acceptance by Purchaser), by a payment to Sterling or to Purchaser, as applicable. 376 (i) Purchaser shall assume the liability for amounts payable under the L&F Products Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, L&F Products Inc.

Section 5.6 Compliance with WARN, etc. Purchaser with respect to the Active and Inactive Employees will timely give all notices required to be given under WARN or other similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff or as otherwise required by any such statute, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to enable Purchaser to provide such notices. For this purpose, Purchaser shall be deemed to have caused a mass layoff if the mass layoff would not have 377 occurred but for Purchaser's failure to offer employment to the Active or Inactive Employees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Section 5.7 Compliance with State Property Transfer Statutes. (a) The parties shall use their reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements of applicable state property transfer statutes, including, without limitation, the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act ("ISRA") and the Illinois Responsible Property Transfer Act ("ILRPTA"), as may be required by the relevant governmental authorities.

Section 7.3 Indemnification by Seller and Kodak. (a) Seller and Kodak hereby agree, jointly and severally, that they shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, 393 attorneys, accountants, agents and employees and their heirs, successors and assigns (the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties" and, collectively with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the "Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of any Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of: (i) subject to Section 7.3(c) and 7.3(d), any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller, Sterling or Kodak contained in this Agreement (other than Section 3.9 and Section 3.12) for the period such representation or warranty survives; (ii) any breach by Seller, Sterling or Kodak of the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.9 for the period such representation and warranty survives; (iii) any and all Excluded Liabilities; (iv) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller, Sterling or Kodak contained in this Agreement; (v) the failure of Seller or any of its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of the "bulk transfer" or similar laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Losses arising as a result of Purchaser's failure to discharge any Assumed Liabilities); 394 (vi) any breach of the representation and warranty made in Section 3.12 for the period such representation and warranty survives and any and all Environmental Claims and Remedial Actions (including, without limitation, any costs of compliance with ISRA) with respect to the Owned Real Property and Leased Real Property to the extent resulting or arising from the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Seller and Kodak shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties except to the extent the Losses arising from such breaches, Environmental Claims and Remedial Actions exceed $5 million in the aggregate and then only for 50% of all such Losses in excess thereof; (vii) subject to Section 7.3(c), the employment or termination of employment of Employees by Seller, Sterling or their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing Date except (A) to the extent accrued on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet, and (B) for liabilities assumed under Sections 5.5(i) and 5.6; (viii) subject to Section 7.3(c), product liability Proceedings arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Closing Date (whether any such Proceeding arises before, on or after the Closing Date); (ix) subject to Section 5.4(g), (i) all liabilities for Taxes imposed with respect to the taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, 395 including, without limitation, any Taxes resulting from any Transferred Subsidiary (or its subsidiaries) having been, or ceasing to be, included in any consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return that included a Transferred Subsidiary (or its subsidiaries) for taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) all liabilities for Taxes of any member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of which a Transferred Subsidiary (or its subsidiaries) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, by reason of the application of Treasury Department Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or a similar provision of any state, local or foreign income tax law or regulation, except, with respect to clause (i) or (ii), to the extent such Taxes are reflected as Current Liabilities on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet; and (x) the L&F Transfer. (b) Seller's and Kodak's obligations under Section 7.3(a)(vi), (vii) and (viii) shall survive with respect to any claim initially asserted prior to the time the applicable statute of limitations has run but in no event to any claim initially asserted beyond eight (8) years after the Closing Date. Seller's and Kodak's obligation under Sections 7.3(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (ix) and (x) shall be unlimited as to time. (c) Seller and Kodak shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Losses with respect to 396 the matters contained in Sections 7.3(a)(i), (vii) and (viii) except to the extent (and then only to the extent) the Losses from such matters exceed an aggregate amount equal to $20 million (the "Deductible") and then only for all such Losses in excess thereof up to an aggregate amount equal to $500 million (the "Cap"); provided, however, that the Cap shall not be applicable to any Losses with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty by Seller, Sterling or Kodak made in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.13, 3.16, 3.17 or 3.22 or with respect to the matters contained in Section 7.3(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (ix) and (x). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser makes a claim against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.3(a) with respect to any matter for which there exists in the short period reserve on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet a specified item determined in accordance with Section 2.6(e), such specified item or any remaining portion thereof shall be applied to satisfy such claim before Purchaser shall have any right to indemnification, subject to this Section 7.3(c), from an Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims. (d) Solely for purposes of this Section 7.3, a breach of the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.8, 3.11, 3.12 and 3.16(d) and 3.16(f) shall be deemed to have occurred only and to the extent that any such breach individually or in the aggregate for all such 397 breaches under the specific representation, disregarding the phrase "materially impair" or the qualification relating to Material Adverse Effect, results in Losses of $1 million or more. Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to third party claims other than those relating to Taxes and the PineSol Litigation, all claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 7.4. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party, Seller, Kodak or Purchaser as the case may be (an "Indemnifying Party") would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 15 days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the "Claim Notice"). The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice, except in the case of a claim or demand that includes the filing of legal process in which case the Indemnifying Party shall have no more than 1/2 the applicable statutory period for answering such process (in 398 either such case, the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand, and (b) for any claim or demand that asserts a liability of $1 million or more (or which from its face appears reasonably likely to assert a liability of $1 million or more), whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend against any such claim or demand if the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect thereto. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. If the liability of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim or demand is subject to a deductible pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(vi) or 7.3(c) hereof that has not yet been fully satisfied, the Indemnified Party shall either, at its election, (i) reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any amount actually incurred by the Indemnifying Party up to the amount of the remaining applicable deductible or (ii) increase the applicable deductible by an amount equal to the lesser of the amount actually incurred by the Indemnifying Party and the remaining amount of such applicable deductible. Except as hereinafter provided, in 399 the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, 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. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense it may do so at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without (i) the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof and (ii) obtaining an unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful (and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such defense) 400 shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(c) hereof. The Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts in the defense of all such claims. Section 7.5 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by Seller, Kodak or Purchaser, as the case may be, under Article II (other than Section 2.7(b)), Article V or this Article VII shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. Such adjustments shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the allocation provided in Section 5.4(e) hereof. Section 7.6 Computation of Losses Subject to Indemnification. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Article II (other than Section 2.7(b)) or this Article VII shall be computed net of the actual decrease in income taxes paid as a result of realizing or reflecting such Loss for Tax purposes (calculated in accordance with the procedures and methodology set forth in Section 5.4(j) hereof) and net of any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Loss. 401 ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by agreement of Purchaser and Seller; (b) by either Purchaser or Seller, by giving written notice of such termination to the other party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to March 31, 1995; provided that the terminating party is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement; (c) by either Purchaser or Seller if there shall be in effect any law or regulation that prohibits the consummation of the Closing or if consummation of the Closing would violate any non-appealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body having competent jurisdiction; (d) by either Purchaser or Seller if, as a result of action or inaction by the other party, the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the date that is 10 Business Days following the date on which all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2 are satisfied or waived; and (e) by either Purchaser or Seller if shareholder approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be given at the extraordinary general 402 meeting of Purchaser's shareholders held pursuant to Section 5.3(c). Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability to the other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties hereto contained in Sections 9.1, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9, and except that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Purchaser agrees, upon request of the Director of Corporate Tax of Kodak, to request, for Kodak at Kodak's expense, from local tax authorities receipts for foreign Taxes which have not been provided to Purchaser. (d) Contest Provisions. (i) Notification of Contests. Each of Purchaser and its Affiliates, on the one hand, 481 and Kodak and Seller on the other (the "Recipient"), shall notify the tax director of each other party in writing within 30 days of receipt by the Recipient of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, adjustments or assessments (a "Tax Audit") which may affect the liability for Taxes of such other party. If the Recipient fails to give such notice to the other party it shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Taxes arising in connection with such Tax Audit to the extent such failure to give notice materially adversely affects the other party's liability for Taxes as a result of the outcome of the Tax Audit. (ii) Which Party Controls. The party which has the greater potential liability for the Tax Items which are being disputed shall control the defense and settlement of the Tax Audit, provided that such party defends the items as reported on the relevant Tax Return. In defending the item as reported on the relevant Tax Return, the party may negotiate any settlement that is reasonable provided that such party shall be prohibited from reaching a settlement with regard to any such Tax Item without the other's party consent, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any party whose liability for Taxes may be affected by a Tax Audit shall be entitled to participate at its expense in such defense and to employ counsel of its choice at its expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Tax Audit with respect to the Transfer Taxes, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly control the defense and settlement of such Tax Audit. 482 (e) Determination and Allocation of Consideration. The parties to this Agreement agree to determine the amount of and allocate the total consideration transferred by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Agreement (the "Consideration") in accordance with the fair market value of the assets and liabilities transferred. Kodak, Seller and Purchaser shall each prepare one or more schedules determining and allocating the Consideration and shall negotiate in good faith to reconcile such schedules. If the Purchaser and Kodak cannot agree on a mutually acceptable determination, allocation or determination and allocation of the Consideration, Purchaser and Seller shall each determine, allocate or determine and allocate, as the case may be, such Consideration in the manner it considers appropriate. Seller and Purchaser each agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 in a timely fashion in accordance with the rules under Section 1060 of the Code. To the extent that the Consideration is adjusted after the Closing Date, the parties agree to revise and amend the schedule and IRS Form 8594 in the same manner and according to the same procedure. Any determination, allocation or determination and allocation of the Consideration agreed upon by the parties pursuant to the second sentence of this subsection shall be binding on Kodak, Seller and Purchaser for all Tax reporting purposes. (f) Employee Withholding and Reporting Matters. With respect to the Employees, Purchaser shall, in accordance with and to the extent permitted pursuant to Revenue Procedure 84-77, 483 1984-2 C.B. 753 and to the extent that Seller provides Purchaser with the necessary information, assume all responsibility for preparing and filing Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, Form W-3, Transmittal of Income and Tax Statements, Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, and Form W-5, Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate, provided that Purchaser's compliance with this Section 5.4(f) shall not cause Purchaser to incur any additional costs under the Transition Services Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree to comply, and cause their respective Affiliates to comply, with the procedures described in Section 5 of Revenue Procedure 84-77. (g) Transfer Taxes. All excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed as the result of the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, excluding any real property gains taxes which shall be the sole liability of Seller, (the "Transfer Taxes"), together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Any such Transfer Taxes or fees resulting from any subsequent transfer of all or any portion of the Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities occurring on or subsequent to the Closing shall be borne entirely by the Purchaser, and Purchaser shall indemnify Kodak and Seller for any liabilities arising in 484 connection therewith. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(b), which shall not apply to Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, any Tax Returns that are required to be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable local law for filing such Tax Returns, and such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other parties, for the other parties' review and approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at least 5 days prior to the Due Date for such Tax Returns. At least 2 days before the Due Date, the non- filing party will transfer to the filing party 50 percent of the liability shown on such Tax Returns. Prior to the preparation of any Transfer Tax Returns the parties will use their best efforts to agree on the values of the Transferred Assets subject to Transfer Taxes. (h) No Section 338 Election. The Purchaser will not make an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or a similar law of any other country with respect to the Transferred Subsidiary. (i) Purchaser's Claiming, Receiving or Using Refunds and Overpayments. If, after the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates (1) receive any refund, or (2) utilize the benefit of any overpayment, of Taxes (except to the extent reflected as an asset on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet) which were Excluded Liabilities, Purchaser shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, to Kodak, or at Kodak's direction to Seller, the 485 entire amount of the refund or overpayment (including interest received in respect of such refund or overpayment, and net of any Taxes incurred by Purchaser as a result of the receipt of such refund or overpayment) received or utilized by Purchaser or its Affiliates. If (i) the amount of Taxes reflected as Current Liabilities on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet exceeds the actual liability for such Taxes or (ii) after the Closing, Purchaser or its Affiliates receive a refund of Taxes reflected as Current Liabilities on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet or utilize the benefit of any overpayment of Taxes so reflected, then the amount of any such excess, refund or utilization (net of any Taxes incurred by Purchaser as a result of the receipt of any refund or overpayment) shall be for the benefit of and transferred promptly to Seller (without duplication of any amount paid pursuant to the previous sentence) to the extent (and only to the extent) that such amount does not exceed the excess of (x) the amount paid to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6(e) over (y) the sum of (A) the amount that would have been paid to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6(e) had such excess, refund or overpayment been reflected on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet as an asset of the Business (with the amount of Taxes reflected as Current Liabilities being taken into account as recorded on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet) and (B) the amount of any prior payments to Kodak or Seller pursuant to this Section 5.4(i). Purchaser agrees to cooperate with Seller and Kodak with respect to matters concerning refunds and 486 overpayments. If requested by Seller or Kodak, Purchaser agrees to claim any such refund or to utilize any such overpayment, to the extent Purchaser, in its reasonable judgement, will not be adversely affected by such claim or utilization, and to furnish to Kodak all information, records and assistance necessary to verify the amount of any such refund so claimed or overpayment so utilized. (j) Post-Closing Actions Which Affect Kodak or Seller's Liability for Taxes. (i) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first December 31st thereafter Purchaser shall not permit the Transferred Subsidiary to (A) if Purchaser assigns its right under this Agreement to purchase the stock of the Transferred Subsidiary to a foreign Affiliate, sell (including a deemed sale pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or a similar law of any other country), exchange, distribute, reorganize or otherwise dispose of any property the sale of which produces foreign personal holding company income within the meaning of Section 954(a)(1) of the Code or a similar law of any other country or (B) make any distribution (including a deemed distribution) to shareholders in excess of current earnings and profits (as computed for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) derived during the period beginning on the day following the Closing Date and ending on the first December 31st thereafter. (ii) Except to the extent required by law, neither Purchaser, the Transferred Subsidiary nor any Affiliate of either 487 of them shall, without the prior written consent of Kodak which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, amend any Tax Return filed by, or with respect to, the Transferred Subsidiary for any taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning before the Closing Date. (k) Maintenance of Books and Records. Until the applicable statute of limitations (including periods of waiver) has run for any Tax Returns filed or required to be filed covering the periods up to and including the Closing Date, Purchaser shall retain all Books and Records with respect to the Business in existence on the Closing Date and Kodak and Seller shall retain all Books and Records not described in Section 2.1(h) or 2.2(j) with respect to the Business in existence on the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date Purchaser will provide Kodak, and Kodak and Seller will provide Purchaser, access to such Books and Records for inspection and copying by Kodak, Purchaser and either of their agents upon reasonable request and upon reasonable notice. After the expiration of such period, no such Books and Records shall be destroyed by Purchaser without first advising the Director of Corporate Tax of Kodak, or by Kodak or Seller without first advising the Director of corporate tax of Purchaser, in writing identifying such Books and Records and giving Kodak or Purchaser, as the case may be, at least 60 days to obtain possession thereof. (l) Assistance and Cooperation. The parties agree that, after the Closing Date: 488 (A) The parties shall reasonably assist (and cause their respective affiliates reasonably to assist) the other parties in preparing any Tax Returns with respect to the Business which such other parties are responsible for preparing and filing; (B) The parties shall reasonably cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns and payments in respect thereof; (C) The parties shall make available to each other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all relevant Books and Records relating to Taxes; (D) The parties shall provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or proposed audits or assessments with respect to Taxes for which the other may have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement; (E) The parties shall furnish the other with copies of all relevant correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any audit or information request with respect to any Taxes referred to in subsection (D) above; and (F) The party requesting assistance or cooperation shall bear the other party's out-of-pocket expenses in complying with such request to the extent that those expenses are attributable to fees and other costs of unaffiliated third-party service providers. 489 (m) Tax Certification. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing a certification described in Treasury Regulation section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(i) that is substantially in the form set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii)(B). Section 5.5 Post-Closing Obligations of the Business to Certain Employees. (a) Purchaser shall offer employment (or, in the case of Applicable Employees of the Transferred Subsidiary, continue employment) on substantially similar terms and conditions in comparable positions to all Applicable Employees on the Closing Date or upon the return of any such Applicable Employee to active employment, and will maintain for a period of two years after the Closing Date, without interruption, employee compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies and fringe benefits (including post-employment welfare benefits) that, in the aggregate, will provide benefits to Applicable Employees that are no less favorable than those provided pursuant to such employee benefit plans, programs and policies, and fringe benefits, of the Business as in effect on the Closing Date which, with respect to U.S. Applicable Employees, are listed on Schedule 3.10(a); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require or be construed to require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of any Applicable Employee for any particular period of time after the Closing Date nor shall it prohibit or be construed to prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Applicable 490 Employee; provided, further, however, that the requirements of this sentence shall not apply to: (i) Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, (ii) benefits which vest, or the payment of which is accelerated or increased in amount, upon a change in control of Kodak, Seller or Purchaser, (iii) benefits or changes therein mandated by applicable law, or (iv) benefits the value of which is based on the value of the securities of Kodak, Seller or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or which gave (or give) Applicable Employees the right to purchase securities of Kodak, Seller or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of two years after the Closing Date, Purchaser will provide to each Applicable Employee (other than any Applicable Employee subject to a collective bargaining agreement) who is terminated by Purchaser after the Closing Date severance pay and benefits which are no less favorable than the severance pay and benefits, if any, that would be payable under similar circumstances under the applicable severance plans, programs and policies of Seller or any Subsidiary or Affiliate as in effect on the date of this Agreement which, with respect to U.S. Applicable Employees, are listed on Schedule 3.10(a). Applicable Employees shall be given credit for all service with Kodak, Seller, Sterling or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (or service credited by Kodak, Seller, Sterling or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) under (i) all employee benefit plans, programs and policies, and fringe benefits of the Business or Purchaser in 491 which they become participants (other than the Transferee Pension Plan) for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Purchaser to provide duplicate benefits for the same period of service and (ii) severance plans for purposes of calculating the amount of each Applicable Employee's severance benefits. In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser will assume the responsibility to pay, and shall provide to, Applicable Employees the benefits due and owing under the L&F Products Relocation Program listed on Schedule 3.10(a). (b) "Applicable Employees" means all active Employees. Active Employees for this purpose shall include Employees on temporary leave for purposes of jury or annual two-week national service/military duty; Employees who on the Closing Date are on Nonmedical Leave of Absence; provided, however, that no such Employee shall be guaranteed reinstatement to active service if his return to employment is contrary to the terms of his leave, unless otherwise required by applicable law; and Employees who on the Closing Date are on disability or medical leave; provided, however, that no such Employee shall be guaranteed reinstatement to active service if he is incapable of working in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of Purchaser. (c) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall establish one or more defined contribution plans (the "Transferee Savings Plans") for the benefit of Employees who were participants in the L&F Products Employee Savings Plan I and the 492 L&F Products Employee Savings Plan II (the "Seller Savings Plans"). Such Employees are referred to hereinafter as the "Savings Plan Employees". Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Seller Savings Plans to the Transferee Savings Plans the liability for the account balances of the Savings Plan Employees, together with cash or other assets acceptable to Purchaser, the fair market value of which is equal to such liability, and Purchaser shall cause the Transferee Savings Plans to accept such transfers. The transfer of assets shall take place within 90 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the later of (i) the furnishing to Seller by Purchaser of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the Transferee Savings Plans under Section 401(a) of the Code, and (ii) the receipt by Seller of favorable determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the Seller Savings Plans under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations. (d) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall establish one or more defined benefit plans (the "Transferee Pension Plans") for the benefit of Employees who participated in the Kodak Retirement Income Plan and the Retirement Income Plan for the Hourly Employees of L&F Products (the "Seller Retirement 493 Plans"). (Such Employees are referred to hereinafter as the "Retirement Plan Employees"). The Transferee Pension Plans shall (A) recognize for all purposes thereunder the service of the Retirement Plan Employees which was recognized under the Seller Retirement Plans; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require Purchaser to provide duplicate benefits for the same period of service; and provided further, however, that nothing herein shall require the Transferee Pension Plans to recognize increases in the compensation of the Retirement Plan Employees after the second anniversary of the Closing Date with respect to their benefit accrual service as of such date if the transfer of assets referred to below has not occurred as of such date, and (B) provide, upon the transfer of assets referred to below, that the benefit liabilities of the Retirement Plans Employees under the Transferee Pension Plans shall in no event be less than their benefit liabilities under the Seller Retirement Plans as of the Closing Date. With respect to each Seller Retirement Plan, Kodak or Seller, as applicable, shall cause to be transferred from the trust under such Seller Retirement Plan to the trust under the Transferee Pension Plan assets in cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities acceptable to Purchaser, the value of which shall be equal to the greater of (1) the amount required to be transferred under Section 414(l) of the Code or (2) the product of (x) times (y), where (x) equals the fair market value of the assets of each Seller Retirement Plan on the date of actual 494 transfer of assets from the trust thereunder to the trust under the applicable Transferee Pension Plan, and (y) equals a fraction, the numerator of which is the present value of the benefit liabilities on a termination basis of the Retirement Plan Employees under the applicable Seller Retirement Plan as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs) and the denominator of which is the present value of the benefit liabilities on a termination basis of all participants in the applicable Seller Retirement Plan as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs); provided, however, that benefits of the Retirement Plan Employees shall be calculated as if the credited service for each Retirement Plan Employee continued to accrue through the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs. Purchaser shall cause the Transferee Pension Plans to accept such transfers. The amount to be transferred shall be equitably adjusted to take into account benefit payments from the Seller Retirement Plans after the Closing Date but prior to the date of transfer provided for in this paragraph (d). Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 5.5(j), the actuary for the applicable Seller Retirement Plan shall determine the benefit liabilities under each Seller Retirement Plan, valued as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs), on the basis of an interest rate selected by the respective Plan's actuary 495 such that, together with the other actuarial assumptions contained in the most recent actuarial report for such Plan available as of the date of this Agreement, the actuarial basis for such valuation will be similar to that used as of the effective date of the transfer (the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs), by insurance companies for annuity purchases in connection with single employer pension plan terminations which, in the case of the interest rate used for the Kodak Retirement Income Plan, would refer only to terminating plans with liabilities in excess of $100 million. The transfer of assets referred to above shall take place within 180 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such transfer take place until the last to occur of the following: (i) Purchaser has furnished to Kodak or Seller, as applicable, a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the qualification of the applicable Transferee Pension Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, (ii) the receipt by Kodak or Seller, as applicable, of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the continued qualification of the applicable Seller Retirement Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code, as amended to (A) comply with changes to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other recent legislation and regulations and (B) provide for the transfer of assets and benefit liabilities 496 referred to in this Section, and (iii) the receipt of any other necessary governmental approval. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, (A) in the event that the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency takes the position in a determination letter, ruling, advisory opinion or other written or oral communication that the transfer of assets referred to in this Section cannot be made unless (i) additional contributions are made to a Seller Retirement Plan or a Transferee Pension Plan or (ii) a Seller Retirement Plan retains primary or secondary liability with respect to the benefit liabilities under such Seller Retirement Plan attributable to Transferred Retirement Plan Employees or (B) in the event that a lawsuit is instituted by any of the foregoing or by one or more participants in, or fiduciaries (other than Seller, Kodak or Purchaser) of, a Seller Retirement Plan or a Transferee Pension Plan which seeks to enjoin such transfer, to require additional contributions to a Seller Retirement Plan or Transferee Pension Plan, or to have a Seller Retirement Plan remain liable in whole or in part with respect to any of the benefit liabilities under such Seller Retirement Plan attributable to Transferred Retirement Plan Employees, then the transfer of assets referred to in this Section from such Seller Retirement Plan will not be made until the earliest of (I) the date the issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or such lawsuit are resolved favorably, and Seller or Kodak and, as applicable, 497 the Seller Retirement Plan shall make every effort in good faith to carry out the asset transfer, including, but not limited to, the vigorous defense of any lawsuit described in clause (B), and the exhaustion of all rights of available judicial review and appeal, or (II) the date Seller and Purchaser, or Kodak and Purchaser, as applicable, enter into a written agreement to resolve on a basis mutually satisfactory to them the issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or such lawsuit. Furthermore, if such transfer has not occurred by the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date by reason of the preceding sentence, then there shall be no transfer of such assets and liabilities. Purchaser shall have no obligation to recognize service of the Retirement Plan Employees under the Transferee Pension Plan accrued after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Pending the completion of the transfers described in this paragraph (d), Seller or Kodak, as applicable, and Purchaser shall make arrangements for any required payments to the Retirement Plan Employees from the Seller Retirement Plans. Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with access to information reasonably necessary in order to carry out the provisions of this paragraph. (e) With respect to the Applicable Employees and their beneficiaries who are participants in Seller's medical, dental or health plans as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall include them in Purchaser's medical, dental or health plans as of the Closing 498 Date and such plans shall waive any preexisting condition limitations and shall honor any deductible and out of pocket expenses incurred by such Applicable Employees and their beneficiaries under Seller's medical, dental or health plans during the portion of the calendar year preceding the Closing Date. Seller shall retain responsibility for all claims incurred by Employees (i) under any medical, dental or health plans for treatment or service rendered prior to the Closing Date; (ii) under any life insurance plans with respect to deaths occurring prior to the Closing Date; and (iii) any other payments or benefits due and payable but not paid on or prior to the Closing Date under any other employee welfare benefit plans. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, a claim shall be deemed to have been incurred on the date on which medical or other treatment or service was rendered and not the date of the inception of the related illness to injury or the date of submission of a claim related thereto. (f) Purchaser shall not assume (i) any obligations or liabilities under the Sterling Winthrop Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, Sterling Winthrop Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, Sterling Winthrop Inc. Foreign Service Pension Plan, L&F Products Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, L&F Products Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or any other deferred compensation or supplemental executive retirement plan; (ii) any obligations or liabilities relating to any disability claims with respect to Employees who are disabled prior to October 1, 1994; 499 (iii) any obligations or liabilities under any employment contract not listed on Schedule 3.10(a) and Schedule 3.15(i) and (iv) any obligations or liabilities under any Benefit Plan, contract or other arrangement for bonuses or other payments that arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions relating to the disposition of Seller's Other Businesses. (g) Purchaser shall assume the liability for, and honor the terms and conditions of, all executive employment agreements of active Employees as in effect on the date of this Agreement and listed on Schedule 3.10(a) and Schedule 3.15(i), except that it shall not assume any liabilities under such agreements that arise by reason of the termination or deemed termination of any such Employee's employment resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions relating to the disposition of Seller's Other Businesses. (h) Sterling and Purchaser shall use their best efforts to provide for transfers of assets and liabilities from Seller's non-U.S. benefit plans with respect to Employees in a manner consistent with the general principles expressed in this Section. (i) Purchaser shall not offer employment to any current employee of Seller not set forth in Schedule 1.1(a) prior to the closing date under the Asset Purchase Agreement among Kodak, Seller, Sterling and Reckitt & Colman plc dated as of 500 September 26, 1994 (the "HH Employees") unless Purchaser assumes all liabilities with respect to such employees under the L&F Products Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. (j) With respect to the determination of the amount of the assets and liabilities relating to the pension transfer described in Section 5.5(d), the following procedures shall apply. Prior to the transfer of any such assets or liabilities Seller shall present to Purchaser a statement ("Seller's Statement") setting forth the proposed amount of such assets and/or liabilities and containing a detailed explanation of the bases and methods used in calculating such amount(s). If Purchaser believes that any amount set forth in any such statement has not been properly calculated in accordance with Section 5.5(d), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written notice of dispute within 30 days after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's Statement and Seller shall supply Purchaser with all information Purchaser may reasonably request to assist Purchaser in assessing the accuracy of Seller's Statement. If the parties are not able to resolve their dispute within 20 days after Purchaser is provided with the requested information, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent accounting or actuarial firm selected by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser the fees and expenses of which shall be shared equally by the parties. The decision of such accounting or actuarial firm shall be rendered within 30 days after the dispute is submitted to such accounting or actuarial firm and shall be binding on all parties. 501 (k) If the actual liability under FAS 106 with respect to former Employees, determined as of the Closing Date for purposes of the Closing Balance Sheet in accordance with the methodology described in footnote (B) to Annex 1 to Section 2.6(b) (but without regard to the limitation on the amount of such liability that may be included in the Closing Balance Sheet as described in footnote (B) to said Annex I), exceeds $700,000, the Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser the amount of such liability in excess of $700,000. Section 5.6 Compliance with WARN, etc. Purchaser with respect to the Applicable Employees will timely give all notices required to be given under WARN or other similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff occurring on or after the Closing or as otherwise required by any such statute. Section 5.7 Further Assurances. At any time after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any other assurances or documents reasonably requested by Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, and necessary for Seller and Purchaser, as the case may be, to satisfy its respective obligations hereunder or obtain the benefits contemplated hereby. Section 5.8 Use of Corporate Names. Except as set forth in the subsections of this Section 5.8, after the Closing, Purchaser shall not use any of the Excluded Marks. 502 (a) Purchaser may continue to use the Excluded Marks for a period of six months after the Closing (one year after the Closing in the case of "L&F" and "Lehn & Fink"), or until inventory of labels, packaging, nameplates and promotional materials are exhausted (whichever occurs first), on labels, packaging, nameplates and promotional materials in existence as of the Closing Date and marked with Excluded Marks; Purchaser may apply such labels, nameplates and packaging only to inventory of Product that is in existence as of the Closing Date, which was manufactured by Seller.

As to any Losses in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to the matters contained in Section 7.3(a)(ii) and as to any Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 7.3(a)(i), Seller, Sterling and Kodak shall be jointly and severally liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent (but only to the extent) the Losses 520 therefrom exceed an aggregate amount equal to $14 million (the "Deductible") and then only for all such Losses in excess thereof up to an aggregate amount of recovery equal to $100 million (the "Cap"); provided, however, that Seller and Kodak shall not be liable for any individual Loss (or series of Losses arising from (x) a continuing breach of a particular representation and warranty or (y) a common set of facts) with respect to the matters contained in Section 7.3(a)(i) which does not exceed $50,000, unless the amount of all such Losses exceeds $1,000,000 in the aggregate, in which case all of the provisions of this Article VII, except this proviso, shall apply.

Section 7.4 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to third party claims other than those relating to Taxes, all claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 7.4. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an indemnifying party, Seller, Sterling, Kodak or Purchaser, as the case may be (an "Indemnifying Party"), would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 30 days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnify- ing Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final 522 amount of such claim and demand) (the "Claim Notice"); provided, however, that if the Claim Notice has been given within any applicable survival period, failure to notify the Indemnifying Party within such 30-day period shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and (b) whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the amount of such costs and expenses that shall be a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(b) hereof. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, 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. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense it may do so at its sole cost and expense. Neither 523 the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall settle a claim or demand without the consent of the other party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful (and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such defense) shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(b) hereof. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall direct, control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. Regardless of which Person assumes control of the defense of any claim, each party shall cooperate in the defense thereof. Section 7.5 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by Seller, Kodak or Purchaser, as the case may be, under Article II (other than Section 2.7(c)), Article V or this Article VII shall, to the extent permitted by law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. 524 Section 7.6 Computation of Losses Subject to Indemnification. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Article II or this Article VII shall be computed net of any net insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Loss. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term "net insurance proceeds" shall mean the insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party less the amount of any premiums paid in respect thereof and any retrospective premium adjustments or reimbursement obligations relating thereto and less any increase in premiums attributable thereto.
