13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified, consolidated,

converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than pursuant to a transaction in which shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the transaction constitute, or are converted into or
exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction; 

(4) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

 REVERSE OF SECURITY 

THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY 

4.050% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2024 
 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 August 10, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (herein called the
“Trustee”), and the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 10, 2022 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, 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 4.050% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024
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 February 8, 2023, 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. 

  
 A-4 












 3. As long as the 2024 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 2024 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 2024 Note will be paid in immediately
available funds upon surrender of such 2024 Note at the Place of Payment. Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association will be the Paying Agent and the Registrar with respect to the 2024 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 2024 Notes. Each Holder that is a transferor of a 2024 Note, upon request of the Trustee, shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee
all information reasonably necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may
conclusively rely on the information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 
 4. At any time
and from time to time, the 2024 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on notice given as provided in the Indenture. The Company may redeem the 2024 Notes at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15
basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed, plus, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 

For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions shall apply: 

“Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close. 
 “Treasury Rate” means,
with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs. 
 The Treasury
Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding
the applicable redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as
“Selected Interest Rates (Daily) – H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities – Treasury constant maturities – Nominal” (or any successor
caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In 

  
 A-5 












 
determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the applicable redemption
date to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury
constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes on a
straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for
the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of
months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the applicable redemption date. 
 If on the third Business Day
preceding the applicable redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
second Business Day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the maturity date of the 2024 Notes, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing
on the maturity date of the 2024 Notes but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the maturity date of the 2024 Notes, one with a maturity date preceding the maturity date of the 2024 Notes
and one with a maturity date following the maturity date of the 2024 Notes, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the maturity date of the 2024 Notes. If there are two or more United States
Treasury securities maturing on the maturity date of the 2024 Notes or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury
securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in
accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00
a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. 
 The Company’s actions and
determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 In the case
of a partial redemption, selection of the 2024 Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No 2024 Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be
redeemed in part. If any 2024 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the 2024 Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the 2024 Note to be redeemed. A new 2024 Note in a principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of the 2024 Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the 2024 Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original 2024 Note. For so long as the 2024 Notes are held by The Depository Trust Company (or another
depositary), the redemption of the 2024 Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary. 

  
 A-6 












 Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption
date interest will cease to accrue on the 2024 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 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 calculation of the redemption price for any such redemption. The Company shall calculate such redemption
price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof. 
 5. If an Event of Default with respect to the 2024 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and
interest thereon of all of the 2024 Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 6. 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 2024 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 Security or such other 2024 Notes. 
 7. 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. 
 8. The authorized denominations of the 2024 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 2024 Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 

  
 A-7 












 9. 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 2024
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 2024 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. 
 10. 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 2024 Notes represented by this Security for all purposes of the 2024 Notes and the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Security (1) will not be entitled to
have the 2024 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 2024 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 2024 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. In connection with any proposed exchange of Global Notes for certificated securities, upon request of the Trustee, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information reasonably necessary to allow
the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the information provided to it
and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information. 

  
 A-8 












 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 whatsoever 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. 
 11. 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. 
 12. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE 2024 NOTES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF
THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
