This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction to or from any person whom or from whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation of an offer in such jurisdiction.

 
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
 
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process.  Under this shelf process, we, or selling security holders, may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings at any time and from time to time.
 
This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we or selling security holders may offer.  Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering.  The prospectus supplement may also add to, update or change information contained in the prospectus and, accordingly, to the extent inconsistent, information in this prospectus is superseded by the information in the prospectus supplement.
 
The prospectus supplement to be attached to the front of this prospectus may describe, as applicable, the terms of the securities offered, the initial public offering price, the price paid for the securities, net proceeds and the other specific terms related to the offering of these securities.
 
You should only rely on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.  We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information.  If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it.  You should not assume that the information in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the cover of the applicable document and that any information we have incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference.  Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.
 
The terms the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “Kodak” as used in this prospectus refer to Eastman Kodak Company and its subsidiaries.  The phrase “this prospectus” refers to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, unless the context otherwise requires.

RISK FACTORS
 
Our business is subject to uncertainties and risks.  You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other filings we make with the SEC.  It is possible that our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results, performance or achievement to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.  You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  You should be aware that the factors we discuss in “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this prospectus, could cause our actual results to differ from future results expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In addition to causing our actual results to differ, these factors may cause our intentions to change from those that have been stated. Such changes in our intentions may also cause our actual results to differ.  We may change our intentions at any time and without notice.
 
Forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus are made as of the date of this prospectus or the date of such documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, and we undertake no obligation to update them.
 
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, we anticipate that the net proceeds from the sale of the securities that we may offer under this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will be used for general corporate purposes.  We will have significant discretion in the use of any net proceeds.  Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of the securities.  We may invest the net proceeds temporarily until we use them for their stated purpose.  If we decide to use the net proceeds from a particular offering of securities for a specific purpose, we will describe that purpose in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or free writing prospectus.  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by selling security holders.

For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and before adjustments for minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries and income or loss from equity investments, plus interest expense, the interest component of rental expense and amortization of capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, the interest component of rental expense, and capitalized interest. (The interest portion of rental expense is assumed to approximate one-third of rental expense.)  Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $875 million, $251 million, $550 million, $1,204 million and $635 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and by $504 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES

warrants exercisable for debt securities, common stock or preferred stock.
 
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus a description of the debt securities, preferred stock and/or warrants that may be offered under this prospectus.  The terms of the offering of securities, the initial offering price and the net proceeds to us will be contained in the applicable prospectus supplement, and other offering material, relating to such offer.

The following is a brief description of our common stock:

Dividends may be declared by our board of directors and paid by us at such times as the board of directors determines, all pursuant to the provisions of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act.

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights.

Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. There are no provisions for redemption, conversion rights, sinking funds, or liability for further calls or assessments by us with respect to our common stock.
 
Anti-Takeover Protection
 
Under the New Jersey Shareholders Protection Act, shareholders owning 10% or more of the voting power of some New Jersey corporations, including us, are prohibited from engaging in mergers or other business combination transactions with the corporation for a period of five years, or longer in some circumstances, after the shareholder first acquired at least 10% of the voting power. These restrictions are subject to important exceptions.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

LEGAL MATTERS
 
In connection with offerings of particular securities in the future, and if stated in the appropriate prospectus supplement, the validity of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any prospectus supplement will be passed upon for us by our counsel, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, Palo Alto, California and Day Pitney LLP.

Item 15.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
 
The registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey.
 
The New Jersey Business Corporation Act provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power to indemnify a director or officer against his or her expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving the director or officer by reason of his or her being or having been such a director or officer, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, if such a director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, such director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
The New Jersey Business Corporation Act further provides that indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not exclude any other rights, including the right to be indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, to which a director or officer may be entitled under a certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise; provided that no indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts or omissions (a) were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in receipt by the director or officer of an improper personal benefit.
 
Section 6 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the registrant provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, directors and officers of the registrant shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the registrant or its shareholders.

 
Section 2(a) of Article 8 the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the registrant provides that the registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless against all liabilities any person who is or was a director or officer, including the director’s or officer's estate (an "Indemnitee"), who is or was a party to or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise in respect of any past, present or future matter, including any action suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation (an "Action"), by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of any other enterprise; provided, however,  that the corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Indemnitee establishes that the Indemnitee's acts or omissions (a) were acts or omissions that the Indemnitee knew or believed to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or shareholders in connection with a matter to which he had a material conflict of interest, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.  Subject to the receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay Expenses if there shall be a judgment or other final adjudication that the Indemnitee is not entitled to receive reimbursement of Expenses from the corporation, the corporation shall pay or reimburse an Indemnitee within 20 days following the later of (i) the receipt of such undertaking and (ii) receipt of a demand from the Indemnitee for payment or reimbursement of Expenses, in advance of final disposition or otherwise, to the full extent authorized or permitted by law, Expenses as incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any actual or threatened Action by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was serving as a director,  officer, employee or agent  of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of any other enterprise;  provided, however, the corporation shall not be required hereunder to further pay or reimburse Expenses and, if requested by the corporation, shall be entitled to repayment of Expenses from the Indemnitee following any plea formally entered by or formal written admission by the Indemnitee in the Action for which the Indemnitee has sought payment or reimbursement of Expenses or indemnification that the Indemnitee has committed such acts or omissions establishing that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to subsection (a).  The Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid or reimbursed for Expenses incurred in any Action to obtain indemnification or payment or reimbursement of Expenses under subsection (a) on the same terms, conditions and limitations as the Indemnitee is entitled to Expenses under the previous sentence.  The corporation shall not be obligated under subsection (a) to provide any indemnification or any payment or reimbursement of Expenses to an Indemnitee in connection with an Action (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the Board has authorized or consented to the Action (or part thereof) in a resolution adopted by the Board.  For the purposes of Article 8, "Expenses" shall include, without limitation, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including without limitation, attorneys' fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, or investigating an Action, including any Action to obtain indemnification or payment or reimbursement of Expenses.
 
In addition, Section 2(b) of Article 8 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the registrant also provides that, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board or directors of the registrant and subject to any terms and conditions thereof, the corporation may, to the full extent authorized or permitted by law, advance Expenses and indemnify and hold harmless against liabilities any person not covered by subsection (a) of Section 2, including the person's estate (an "Employee Indemnitee"), who is or was an employee or agent of this corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of any other enterprise, or the legal representative of any such person, and who is or was a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Action by reason of the fact that the Employee Indemnitee is or was serving in any of the foregoing capacities.
 
Section 3 of Article 8 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the registrant further provides that the right of an Indemnitee or Employee Indemnitee to indemnification and payment or reimbursement of Expenses by the corporation under Section 2 of Article 8 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any statutory or other right of indemnification or payment, advancement or reimbursement of Expenses provided to any Indemnitee or Employee Indemnitee.  Section 3 of Article 8 further provides that no amendment of Article 8 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws shall impair the rights of any person arising at any time with respect to events occurring prior to such amendment.

Item 17.
Undertakings.
 
(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:
 
(i)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii)          To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.; and

 
(iii)           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;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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.
 
(4)           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(i)            Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(ii)           Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
(5)           That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 
(i)           Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii)          Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii)          The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv)          Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the 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.
 
(c)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
 
(d)           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.
 
(e)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(1)           For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
(2)           For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

 
(f)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)2 of the Act.
