 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 
  
 The PPG Industries Executive Officers’ Total Shareholder Return Plan is intended to further the long-term growth of the Corporation by
providing incentive, in addition to current compensation, to certain executive officers of the Corporation who will have a substantial opportunity to influence such long-term growth. Specifically the Plan: 
  

	•	Associates the personal interests of executive officers with the shareholders of the Corporation by relating capital accumulation to objective business or financial criteria, such
as the returns to shareholders, return on capital, cash return on capital, return on equity, earnings (pre-tax or after-tax) and earnings growth; 

  


	•	Provides a compensation program to executive officers which is competitive with compensation opportunities in competing industries; 

  

	•	Encourages executive officers to continue as employees of the Corporation.

Award Period. 
  

	3.04	Termination 

  
 If a Covered Employee’s employment with the Corporation terminates during an Award Period for any reason other than retirement, Disability or Death, the Award shall be forfeited on the date of such termination;
