 8 








 
each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2022 Notes on the terms set forth herein. In the Change of
Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of 2022 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2022 Notes repurchased up to, but not including, the date of

accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2022 Notes or portions of 2022 Notes being repurchased. 

(c) The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as possible after the date of
purchase. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible for monitoring the rating status of the Company, making any request upon any of the Rating Agencies or any Substitute Rating Agency, or determining whether any Rating Event has
occurred. 
 (d) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all 2022 Notes properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any 2022 Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, other than

in connection with the repurchase of the 2022 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of

Notes pursuant to this provision shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon release and discharge of the Lien that resulted in such provision becoming applicable. The preceding sentence shall not require the Company to

Subsidiary and the Company or between Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 7.     SEC

until 30 days after the date any information, document or report hereunder is required to be filed with the Trustee.

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY 

2.750% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2022 

1.         This Security is one of the duly authorized issue of notes or other debt instruments
(hereinafter called the “Notes”) of the Company, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture dated as of July 31, 2015, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (herein called the “Trustee”) and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 16, 2017, between the Company and
the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations and duties thereunder of
the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, any Paying Agent for this Security, the Company and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered. 

This Security is one of the series of Notes of the Company issued pursuant to the Indenture designated as the 2.750% Senior Notes due 2022
(the “2022 Notes”). 
 2.         A.     The regular record date (the
“Regular Record Date”) with respect to any Interest Payment Date (as defined below) shall be the applicable date specified as such on the face hereof (whether or not such date shall be a Business Day (as defined below)) immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name this Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date. “Business Day” means, with respect to any Place of Payment, any day other than a Legal Holiday. 

B.     The Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount at the rate per annum shown on the
face hereof until the Principal Amount hereof is paid or made available for payment or upon earlier redemption or repayment. The Company will pay interest semiannually in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates set forth on the face hereof (each such
date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 1, 2017, and on the Maturity Date. Interest shall accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no
interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Original Issue Date shown on the face hereof, to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The amount of such interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any payment is required to be made in respect of this Security on a date (including the Maturity
Date, a redemption date, a Change of Control Payment Date or an Interest Payment Date) that is not a Business Day, the related payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment is due, and no interest shall
accrue on such payment for the intervening period. 
 3.         As long as the 2022 Notes are
represented by one or more Global Notes, all payments of interest will be made by the Company in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. Otherwise, payments of interest on the 2022


  
 A-4 








 
Notes due on Interest Payment Dates will be made by immediately available funds to accounts with financial institutions in the United States specified by the Persons entitled thereto by notice
given to the Paying Agent at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date or, if no such account is so specified, by check mailed to the Persons entitled thereto. Principal and any premium and (if such day is not an Interest
Payment Date) interest payable at the Stated Maturity, on redemption or repayment of a 2022 Note will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of such 2022 Note at the Place of Payment. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
will be the Paying Agent and the Registrar with respect to the 2022 Notes. The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Registrar and to appoint additional or other Paying Agents and a
different Registrar and to approve any change in the office through which any Paying Agent or Registrar acts; provided that the Company shall at all times maintain a Paying Agent and Place of Payment for the 2022 Notes. 

4.         At any time and from time to time, the 2022 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at
the option of the Company, on notice given as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date
of redemption. The Company will notify the Trustee of the redemption price of any 2022 Notes to be redeemed promptly after the calculation and the Trustee will not be responsible for such calculation. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 2022 Notes are redeemed on or after May 1, 2022    (the date
that is one month prior to the Maturity Date), the 2022 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of
redemption.     
 For purposes of determining the redemption price with respect to a redemption
occurring prior to May 1, 2022 (the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date), the following definitions shall apply: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Quotation
Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such 2022 Notes. 
 “Comparable Treasury
Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the arithmetic average of the four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations
or (B) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all such quotations for such redemption date. 

  
 A-5 








 “Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer in The City of New York. 
 “Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by the Company; provided, however, that if such Reference Treasury Dealer ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities,
LLC or their respective affiliates that are Primary Treasury Dealers, and, in each case, their respective successors; and (ii) two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any
redemption date, the arithmetic average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by
such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to: (1) the yield,
under the heading that represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable
Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the 2022 Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be
determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the
calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for such Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date. 

If less than all of the 2022 Notes are to be redeemed, the 2022 Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with
Section 3.02 of the Indenture. 
 Notice of redemption shall be given as provided in Section 3.03 of the
Indenture. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the 

  
 A-6 








 
calculation of the redemption price for any such redemption. The Company shall calculate such redemption price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof. 

5.         If (i) the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to September 21, 2017 or
(ii) if prior to September 21, 2017, the Merger Agreement is terminated, other than in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition and is not otherwise amended or replaced, (the earlier to occur of (i) and (ii), the
“Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), then the Company shall, on a date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) selected by the Company that is not later than the tenth Business Day following the Special Mandatory Redemption
Event, redeem the 2022 Notes in full (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest from the
date of initial issuance, or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, whichever is later, to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. Notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption will be mailed (or with
respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by the Applicable Procedures, sent electronically), either directly or through the Trustee on the Company’s behalf, not later than five Business Days after the occurrence of the
Special Mandatory Redemption Event to each holder at its registered address. Such notice shall also specify the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all 2022 Notes to be redeemed on
the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with the Paying Agent on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after the Special
Mandatory Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the 2022 Notes. 
 6.         If an
Event of Default with respect to the 2022 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest thereon of all of the 2022 Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

7.         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the
Notes of each series under the Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding of each series to be affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of
such series. In addition, the Indenture permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to the Indenture, without the consent of Holders, for certain purposes, including to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any
provision contained in the Indenture and to make changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect. The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding of each series on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive certain past defaults and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any 2022 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
is made upon this 

  
 A-7 








 
Security or such other 2022 Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5 applicable to the redemption of the 2022 Notes upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event may not
be waived or modified without the written consent of all holders of the 2022 Notes. 
 8.         No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and any premium of and any interest on this
Security at the place, rate and respective times and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed. 
 9.
        The authorized denominations of the 2022 Notes are $2,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and except as provided therein and herein, the 2022
Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 2022 Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

10.        As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Note register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office of the Registrar or co-registrar designated by the Company for such
purpose. Every 2022 Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any Registrar may treat
the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes (subject to Section 2.A hereof), whether or not such Security is overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon, and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of any 2022 Note, with certain exceptions, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

11.        This Security is a Global Note. Accordingly, this Security may not be transferred except as
a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor
Depositary. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of
participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of Persons other than participants). 
 So long as
the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of this Security, the Depositary or that nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner or Holder of the 2022 Notes represented by this Security for all purposes of the 2022
Notes and the 

  
 A-8 








 
Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Security (1) will not be entitled to have the 2022 Notes represented by this Security registered in their names,
(2) will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated securities and (3) will not be considered the owners or Holders of the 2022 Notes represented by that beneficial interest under the Indenture for any purpose,
including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the Trustee. Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in this Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if that Person is not a
Depositary participant or indirect participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder of 2022 Notes under the Indenture or this Security. 

Except as provided in Section 2.14(b) of the Indenture, beneficial interests in this Security may not be exchanged for
certificated securities. 
 Payments with respect to the principal of and interest on this Security will be payable by the
Trustee to or at the direction of the Depositary or its nominee in its capacity as the registered Holder of this Security under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may treat the Persons in whose names this
Security are registered as the owners hereof for the purpose of receiving payment thereon (except as provided in Section 2.A hereof) and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Registrar, the Paying Agent or
any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for (a) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in this Security or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, (b) the payments to the beneficial owners of this Security of amounts paid to the Depositary or its nominee or (c) any other matter relating to the actions or practices
of the Depositary, its nominee or any of its direct or indirect participants. 
 12.        Unless
otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

13.        THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE 2022
NOTES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
