The carrying value of the 2017 Convertible Senior Notes was increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 to reflect the stated principal amount of the notes.  When the notes were initially issued, $107 million of the principal amount of the debt was allocated to reflect the equity component of the notes.  The remaining carrying value of the debt was originally being accreted to the $400 million stated principal amount using the effective interest method.  The increase, in the second quarter of 2012, in the carrying value of the debt resulted in a $90 million provision for expected allowed claims reflected in Reorganization items, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.

No portion of the carrying value of Kodak’s debt was considered Liabilities subject to compromise in the Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2011, as the Debtors filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 19, 2012.  The amounts shown as Liabilities subject to compromise as of December 31, 2011 in the table above were classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2011 and are reflected as liabilities subject to compromise above only for presentation purposes.

DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION CREDIT AGREEMENT

In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, on January 20, 2012, the Company and Kodak Canada Inc. (the “Canadian Borrower” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended on January 25, 2012, March 5, 2012, April 26, 2012, December 19, 2012, and February 6, 2013 (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), with certain subsidiaries of the Company and the Canadian Borrower signatory thereto (“Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders signatory thereto (the “Lenders”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, and Citicorp North America, Inc., as syndication agent, administration agent and co-collateral agent (the “Agent”).  Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to lend in an aggregate principal amount of up to $950 million, consisting of up to $250 million super-priority senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities and an up to $700 million super-priority senior secured term loan facility (collectively, the “Loans”).  A portion of the revolving credit facility is available to the Canadian Borrower and may be borrowed in Canadian Dollars.  The DIP Credit Agreement was approved on February 15, 2012 by the Bankruptcy Court.  The DIP Credit Agreement terminates and all outstanding obligations must be repaid on the earliest to occur of (i) July 20, 2013, (ii) the date of the substantial consummation of certain reorganization plans, or (iii) certain other events, including Events of Default and repayment in full of the obligations pursuant to a mandatory prepayment.

The Company and each existing and future direct or indirect U.S. subsidiary of the Company (other than indirect U.S. subsidiaries held through foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries (if any)) (the “U.S. Guarantors”) have agreed to provide unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the Borrowers under the DIP Credit Agreement.  In addition, the U.S. Guarantors, the Canadian Borrower and each existing and future direct and indirect Canadian subsidiary of the Canadian Borrower (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries (if any)) (the “Canadian Guarantors” and, together with the U.S. Guarantors, the “Guarantors”) have agreed to provide unconditional guarantees of the obligations of the Canadian Borrower under the DIP Credit Agreement.  Under the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Company has the option to have interest on the loans provided thereunder accrue at a base rate or the then applicable LIBOR Rate (subject to certain adjustments and, in the case of the term loan facility, a floor of 1.00%), plus a margin, (x) in the case of the revolving loan facility, of 2.25% for a base rate revolving loan or 3.25% for a LIBOR rate revolving loan, and (y) in the case of the term loan facility, of 6.50% for a base rate loan and 7.50% for a LIBOR Rate loan.  The obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors under the DIP Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien upon all of the existing and after-acquired personal property of the Company and the U.S. Guarantors, including pledges of all stock or other equity interest in direct subsidiaries owned by the Company or the U.S. Guarantors (but only up to 65% of the voting stock of each direct foreign subsidiary owned by the Company or any U.S. Guarantor in the case of pledges securing the Company’s and the U.S. Guarantors’ obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement).  Assets of the type described in the preceding sentence of the Canadian Borrower or any Canadian subsidiary of the Canadian Borrower are similarly pledged to secure the obligations of the Canadian Borrower and Canadian Guarantor under the DIP Credit Agreement.  The security and pledges are subject to certain exceptions.

The DIP Credit Agreement limits, among other things, the Borrowers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur or create liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) prepay subordinated indebtedness and make other restricted payments, (v) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (vi) modify the terms of any organizational documents and certain material contracts of the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors.  In addition to standard obligations, the DIP Credit Agreement provides for specific milestones that Kodak must achieve by specific target dates.  In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to maintain consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) of not less than a specified level for certain periods, with the specified levels ranging from $(130) million to $175 million depending on the applicable period.  The Company and its subsidiaries must also maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) ranging from $100 million to $250 million depending on the applicable period.  The Company was required to maintain U.S. Liquidity of $125 million, $250 million, and $150 million for the periods from January 20, 2012 to February 15, 2012; February 16, 2012 to March 31, 2012; and April 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012, respectively.  From October 1, 2012 through the termination of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Company must maintain minimum U.S. Liquidity of $100 million, subject to increase under certain circumstances as described in the DIP Credit Agreement.  Kodak was in compliance with all covenants under the DIP credit agreement as of December 31, 2012.

The Company must prepay the DIP Credit Agreement with all net cash proceeds from sales of or casualty events relating to certain types of collateral consisting of accounts, inventory, equipment or machinery (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement).  In addition, all net cash proceeds from any sale in respect of Kodak’s digital imaging patent portfolio must be used to prepay the DIP Credit Agreement.  With respect to all other asset sales or casualty events, or intellectual property licensing or settlement agreements, 75% of the net cash proceeds must be used to prepay the DIP Credit Agreement and 25% may be retained by Kodak (retained proceeds were $12 million as of December 31, 2012).  However, once Kodak’s share of these retained proceeds totals $150 million, all remaining and future net cash proceeds must be used to prepay the DIP Credit Agreement.

The Borrowers drew $700 million in term loans under the DIP Credit Agreement during the first quarter of 2012 and have issued approximately $126 million of letters of credit under the revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2012.  Under the DIP Credit Agreement borrowing base calculation the Borrowers had approximately $45 million available under the revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2012.   Availability under the DIP Credit Agreement is subject to borrowing base availability, reserves and other limitations.

On February 1, 2013, Kodak entered into a series of agreements under which it received approximately $530 million of proceeds, net of withholding taxes, a portion of which was paid by intellectual property licensees and a portion of which was paid by the acquirers of Kodak’s digital imaging patent portfolio.  Approximately $419 million of the proceeds was used to prepay the term loan under the DIP Credit Agreement.

On February 6, 2013, the Company received consents for an amendment from the lenders under its DIP Credit Agreement to extend the covenant requirement to file a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement from February 15, 2013 to April 30, 2013.  The Company also sought consent for an additional amendment to permit the incurrence of the Junior DIP Facility and to (i) extend the maturity date of the DIP Credit Agreement facility from July 20, 2013 to September 30, 2013, to match the maturity of the Junior DIP Facility, (ii) eliminate the Canadian revolving facility, which is not being used by Kodak, and reduce the aggregate amount of the U.S. revolving credit commitments from $225 million to $200 million, (iii) remove machinery and equipment from the borrowing base of the revolving facility and (iv) revise the existing financial covenants and modify other covenants to match the terms proposed for the Junior DIP Facility.  This additional amendment did not become effective because a condition to effectiveness was closing the Junior DIP Facility on or before February 28, 2013.  The Company has engaged the DIP Credit Agreement agent to solicit the ABL DIP Credit Agreement lenders to re-consent for this amendment with a new expiration date of April 5, 2013.

JUNIOR DIP FACILITY

On February 28, 2013, the Company and members of the Steering Committee of the Second Lien Noteholders (the “Commitment Parties”) agreed to structure and arrange a junior secured priming super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility (the “Junior DIP Facility”) in an aggregate amount of up to $848 million consisting of (i) first lien term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $455 million (the “New Money Loans”) and (ii) junior lien term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $375 million consisting of a dollar-for-dollar “roll-up” (such loans, the “Rolled-Up Loans”) for a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Second Lien Notes.  The Bankruptcy Filing created an event of default under the Second Lien Notes.  The Junior DIP Facility will allow for payment of certain fees in cash or additional New Money Loans.  Closing of the Junior DIP Facility is subject to certain conditions, including approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Junior DIP Facility, repayment in full of the term loans under the DIP Credit Agreement, and consent of the ABL Lenders under the existing DIP Credit Agreement and related order of the Bankruptcy Court permitting the incurrence of the Junior DIP Facility, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders (as defined in the agreement with the Commitment Parties).  On March 1, 2013, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the Junior DIP Facility.  The Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ motion on March 8, 2013.  The agreement with the Commitment Parties expires on April 5, 2013.

The Junior DIP Facility would mature upon the earliest to occur of (i) September 30, 2013, (ii) the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the chapter 11 plan for the reorganization of the Company (the “Chapter 11 Plan”), to the extent amounts outstanding under the Junior DIP Facility are not converted into exit term loans as described below, and (iii) the acceleration of the loans in accordance with the terms of the agreement.  The Company would have the ability to convert the Junior DIP Facility into an up to $654 million exit facility with an additional five year term provided that Kodak meets certain conditions and milestones, including Bankruptcy Court approval of a plan of reorganization by September 15, 2013, with an effective date no later than September 30, 2013; repayment of $200 million of principal amount of New Money Loans; and receiving at least $600 million in cash proceeds through the disposition of certain specified assets, including any combination of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses and trademarks and related rights provided that consent of the Required Lead Lenders would be necessary to exclude the assets of the Document Imaging and Personalized Imaging businesses from the disposition; the resolution of all obligations owing in respect of the KPP on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lead Lenders (as defined in the agreement with the Commitment Parties); and there shall have been an additional prepayment of loans in an amount equal to 75% of U.S. Liquidity (as defined in the agreement with the Commitment Parties) above $200 million.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

On April 26, 2011, the Company and its subsidiary, Kodak Canada, Inc., together with the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second Amended Credit Agreement”), with the named lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, in order to amend and extend its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2009, as amended (“Amended Credit Agreement”).

On January 20, 2012, the Company repaid all obligations and terminated all commitments under the Second Amended Credit Agreement in connection with entering into and drawing funds from the DIP Credit Agreement.  The repayment resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7 million.

SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2019

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

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

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

The 2019 Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (Guarantees) on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (Subsidiary Guarantors).  The 2019 Senior Secured Notes and Guarantees are secured by second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and substantially all of the domestic assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to a supplement, dated March 15, 2011, to the security agreement, dated March 5, 2010, entered into with Bank of New York Mellon as second lien collateral agent.  The carrying value of the assets pledged as collateral at December 31, 2012 was approximately $1 billion.

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

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

SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2018

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

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

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

The 2018 Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “guarantees”) on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).  The 2018 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees are secured by second-priority liens, subject to permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and substantially all of the domestic assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to a security agreement entered into with Bank of New York Mellon as second lien collateral agent on March 5, 2010.  Wilmington Trust, National Association replaced and succeeded Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee and second-lien collateral agent on January XX, 2012.  The carrying value of the assets pledged as collateral at December 31, 2012 was approximately $1 billion.

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

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

SECOND LIEN NOTE HOLDERS AGREEMENT

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

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

2017 CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On September 23, 2009, the Company issued $400 million of aggregate principal amount of 7% convertible senior notes due April 1, 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Notes”).  Terms of the Notes require interest at an annual rate of 7% of the principal amount at issuance, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2010.

The 2017 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 134.9528 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes (representing an initial conversion price of approximately $7.41 per share of common stock) subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.  Holders may surrender their 2017 Convertible Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date for the notes.  Upon conversion, the Company shall deliver or pay, at its election, solely shares of its common stock or solely cash.  Holders of the 2017 Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the convertible notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in cash, upon occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company including, but not limited to, a change in ownership, consolidation or merger, plan of dissolution, or common stock delisting from a U.S. national securities exchange.

The 2017 Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank: (i) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2017 Convertible Notes; (ii) equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (iii) effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and obligations incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries including guarantees of the Company’s obligations by such subsidiaries.  U.S. Bank, National Association replaced and succeeded Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee on January 24, 2012.

The Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default under the 2017 Convertible Notes.  The creditors are, however, stayed from taking any action as a result of the default under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

SENIOR NOTES DUE 2013

On October 10, 2003, the Company completed the offering and sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes”), which was made pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 effective September 19, 2003.  Interest on the 2013 Notes will accrue at the rate of 7.25% per annum and is payable semiannually.  The 2013 Notes are not redeemable at the Company's option or repayable at the option of any holder prior to maturity.  The 2013 Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, and rank equally with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

On March 10, 2010, the Company accepted for purchase $200 million aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Notes pursuant to the terms of a tender offer that commenced on February 3, 2010.  The tender offer was funded with proceeds from the issuance of the 2018 Senior Secured Notes.

On March 15, 2011, the Company repurchased $50 million aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Notes at par using proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Senior Secured Notes.  As of December 31, 2012, $250 million of the 2013 Notes remain outstanding.  U.S. Bank, National Association replaced and succeeded Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee on January 24, 2012.

The Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default under the 2013 Notes.  The creditors are, however, stayed from taking any action as a result of the default under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.
