Exhibit 10.5

Eastman Kodak Company

Administrative Guide for the 2016 Performance Period

under the

Executive Compensation for Excellence and Leadership Plan

ARTICLE 1.INTRODUCTION

1.1Background

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

1.2Purpose

This Administrative Guide governs the Committee’s grant of Awards for the Plan’s 2016 Performance Period. Unless otherwise noted in this Administrative Guide or determined by the Committee, the terms of the Plan shall apply to Awards granted under the Plan.

ARTICLE 2.DEFINITIONS

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

2.1 Form 10-K Filing Date

The term “Form 10-K Filing Date” means the date that the Company files, with the Security and Exchange Commission, its Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2016.

2.2Performance Gates

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

2.3 Performance Goal(s)

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

2.4Performance Period

“Performance Period” means the 2016 Performance Period that coincides with Kodak’s 2016 fiscal year.

ARTICLE 3.ELIGIBILITY

Only Executives who are Officers under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be Participants in the Plan under this Administrative Guide for the 2016 Performance Period.

Confidential

Awards will be calculated using the base salary and target EXCEL percentage as of December 31 of the Performance Period. For purposes of Covered Employees as defined by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall have the authority to exercise N egative D iscretion pursuant to Section 5.3.

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

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

Designation of an executive as a Participant for the 2016 Performance Period will not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive payment of an Award for the 2016 Performance Period. The determination as to whether or not such Participant becomes entitled to payment of an Award for the 2016 Performance Period will be decided solely in accordance with the terms of this Administrative Guide and the Plan.

Subject to applicable local laws, regulations and processes, in order to be eligible for and to receive an Award, all eligible Participants must have signed an Employee Agreement in a form acceptable to the Chief Human Resources Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. Any Participant who fails to sign such an Employee Agreement on or prior to the Award Payment Date(s) will not receive an Award.

ARTICLE 4.AWARD DESCRIPTION

4.1Terms of Awards

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

4.2Form of Awards

Any Awards payable for the 2016 Performance Period will be paid on the Award Payment Date(s) determined by the Company, in cash, Common Stock or other property, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. To the extent an Award is paid in Common Stock, such Common Stock will be issued under the Eastman Kodak Company 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (or any applicable successor plan thereto).

ARTICLE 5.AWARD DETERMINATION

5.1Calculation of Award Pool

Provided that the Performance Gate(s) have been achieved, the percentage derived from the Performance Goal(s) will be multiplied by the aggregate Target Award to determine the Award Pool for the 2016 Performance Period.

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

The Performance Goal(s) and Performance Gate(s) for the 2016 Performance Period are attached in Appendix A.

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

5.3Allocation of Award Pool to Covered Employees

Subject to the Committee’s authority to exercise Negative Discretion with regard to the amount of the Award Pool allocated to any Covered Employee for the 2016 Performance Period, each Covered Employee will be allocated an Award no greater than the lesser of: (i) 10% of the Award Pool; or (ii) 500% of his or her annual base salary on December 31, 2015 (or if the Executive was not employed by the Company on such date, 500% of his or her base salary upon hire following December 31, 2014); or (iii) $5,000,000.

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

For purposes of this Section 5.3, “Aggregate Target Award” means the sum of the Target Award amounts on May 23, 2016 for all of the Participants eligible to participate in the Plan on May 23, 2016.

5.4Certification

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

ARTICLE 6.PAYMENT OF AWARDS

The amount of any pro-rata Award will be calculated as described in Article 3 above.

In the event that a Participant is terminated by the Company for Cause after the end of the Performance Period, but before the Form 10-K Filing Date, the Participant will not be eligible to be considered for an Award for the Performance Period.

In the event that a Participant is terminated by the Company after the end of the Performance Period and prior to the Form 10-K Filing Date for any reason other than Cause, the Participant will be eligible to be considered for an Award for the Performance Period, based on certification by the Committee as set forth in Section 5.4 and subsequent management discretion with respect to the Participant’s performance in the Performance Period. If the termination is part of a divestiture by the Company, the Participant will be eligible to be considered for an Award paid by the Company only if the successor company has not agreed to accept liability for the Award.

In the event that a Participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company after the end of the Performance Period and prior to the Form 10-K Filing Date for any reason other than the death or Disability of the Participant, the Participant will not be eligible to be considered for an Award for the Performance Period.

In the event of the death or Disability of a Participant after the end of the Performance Period and prior to the Form 10-K Filing Date, the Participant will be eligible to be considered for an Award for the Performance Period, based on certification by the Committee as set forth in Section 5.4 and subject to subsequent management discretion with respect to the Participant’s performance in the Performance Period.
