divided into three classes, each such class, as nearly as
possible, having the same number of directors. At each
annual meeting of the shareholders, the directors chosen to

succeed and shall be elected by the shareholders for a term
expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of the
shareholders.

liquidation to receive all assets which remain after payment
to creditors and holders of preferred stock.

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
Updating Information
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in
which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this
registration statement to include
any material
information with respect to the
plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the
registration
statement or any material change
to such information
in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of
determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-
effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to
the securities
offered therein, and the offering
of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by
means of a
post-effective amendment any of
the securities being
registered which remain unsold at
the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act
of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated
by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new
registration statement relating to the
securities offered
therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
Indemnification of Certain Persons
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit,
or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in
connection with the securities being
registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such
indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933,
the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has
duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Rochester, State of New
York, on this 8th
day of December, 1995.

With respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the

Exchange Commission
for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended,
16,000,000 shares of common stock, $2.50 par value, of Kodak
(the "Shares") to
be granted to participants under, or issued upon the
exercise of options and
stock appreciation rights, or issued in connection with
other awards granted
under the Eastman Kodak Company 1995 Omnibus Long-Term
Compensation Plan (the

otherwise identified
to my satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates,

have been issued and
delivered as contemplated in the Plan, be legally issued,
fully paid, and
non-assessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
