SECTION
IX CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 

	9.01	 	Change in Control 

 

	 	(a)	 	Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in Control (as defined in section 9.02): 

 

	 	(1)	 	Awards in the form of cash shall be made for the year during which the Change in Control occurs, and then paid immediately to a trustee on such terms as the Senior
Vice President, Human Resources and Administration and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or either of them, or their successors, shall deem appropriate (including such terms as are appropriate to cause such payment, if possible, not to be a
taxable event to Participants) in order to cause the Awards so paid to be paid either not later than the end of the first calendar quarter following the end of the year to which the Awards relate or on a deferred basis in accordance with the
elections of Participants then in effect as to the timing of the receipt of Awards for such year. 

 

	 	(2)	 	Participants who are eligible to receive an Award for the Plan Year in which a Change in Control occurs shall be eligible to receive an Award for the Plan Year
following the Change in Control. 

 

	 	(3)	 	The amount of the Award payable to each Participant shall be: 

 
one-half of the regular Award if the Change in Control occurs during the first six months of the year; or 
 
the full regular Award, if the Change in
Control occurs during the second six months of the year 
 
either calculated at a rating of 12 for all performance categories. 
 

	 	(4)	 	All deferred amounts credited to the Capital Enhancement Account shall be paid immediately to a trustee on such terms as the Senior Vice President, Human Resources
and Administration and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or either of them, or their successors shall deem appropriate (including such terms as are appropriate to cause such payment, if possible, not to be a taxable event to Participants) in order
to give effect to the elections of Participants with respect to the timing of the receipt of such deferred amounts. 

 

	 	(b)	 	By way of example of the operation of paragraph (a) above: 

 
 

-Page 9.1- 








 
If the Change
in Control occurred on August 1 of a Plan Year, a Participant in a position with 1000 total points and an incentive award value of $1.75 per point would receive an Award of no less than $21,000 calculated as follows: 1000 x 1.75 x 12 = $21,000.

 
If the Change in Control occurred on April 1 of
a Plan Year, such Participant would receive $10,500. 
 
If the Plan were to be continued to the end of the year, and performance exceeded the 12 rating, a higher Award would be paid. 
 

	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if an Award ultimately made for such Plan Year is greater than the Award made pursuant to this section, the
Participant shall be entitled to the difference between such Awards. 

 
If the Participant has elected his/her Award to be deferred, payment of such difference shall be made to a trustee in accordance with the provisions set forth in subparagraph (a)(4) above.

 

	 	(d)	 	For purposes of this section, the fair market value of a share of PPG Stock on any date shall be the closing sale price as reported for such date (or, if no price is
reported for such date, for the next preceding date for which a price is reported) on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. 

 

	9.02	 	Definition: Change in Control 

 
A “Change in Control” shall mean:

“Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the

Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to such date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising
the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election
contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or 

 

	 	(c)	 	Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination:

Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the
Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; 


	

 
 

-Page 9.3- 








 

	 	(ii)	 	No Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns,
