Technology innovation has been a hallmark of PPG's success throughout its history. The Company seeks to optimize its investment in research and development to create new products to drive profitable growth. We align our product development with the macro trends in the markets we serve, including a focus on sustainability and productivity, and leverage core technology platforms to develop products to address unmet market needs. Additionally, we operate laboratories in close geographic proximity to our customers, and we customize our products for our customers' end-use

applications. Our history of successful technology introductions is based on a commitment to an efficient and effective innovation process and disciplined portfolio management. We have obtained government funding for a small portion of the Company's research efforts, and we will continue to pursue government funding, where appropriate.

We own and operate several facilities to conduct research and development for new and improved products and processes. In addition to the Company's centralized principal research and development centers (see Item 2. "Properties" of this Form 10-K), operating segments manage their development through centers of excellence. As part of our ongoing efforts to manage our formulations and raw material costs effectively, we operate global competitive sourcing laboratories. Because of our broad array of products and customers, we are not materially dependent upon any single technology platform.

***Raw Materials, Energy and Logistics***

PPG uses a wide variety of complex raw materials that serve as the building blocks of our manufactured products. The Company's most significant raw materials include resins, solvents, reactants, titanium dioxide, additives, epoxy and pigments. Raw materials include both organic, primarily petroleum-derived, materials and inorganic materials, including titanium dioxide. Raw materials represent PPG's single largest production cost component.

Most of the raw materials and energy used in production are purchased from outside sources, and the Company has made, and continues to make, supply arrangements to meet our planned operating requirements for the future. Supply of critical raw materials and energy is managed by establishing contracts with multiple sources and identifying alternative materials or technology whenever possible. In connection with our decarbonization efforts undertaken to meet customer requirements, we continue to increase the amount of renewable energy secured for our operating facilities, and we are increasingly evaluating alternative raw materials that offer sustainable benefits and support the circular economy, including recycled and renewable feedstocks. Prices for certain of our raw materials typically fluctuate with energy prices and global supply and demand changes; however, pricing may be impacted by the fact that the manufacture of our raw materials is several steps downstream from crude oil, natural gas, and other key feedstocks.

Through effective management of raw materials, energy and logistics, the Company aims to maintain a competitive cost position and ensure ongoing security of supply. Security of a sufficient supply of high-quality raw materials is important to PPG's continued success as it allows the Company to increase production as necessary to keep pace with customer demand. We continue to focus on improving our competitive cost position and expanding our supply of high-quality raw materials, including strategic initiatives to qualify multiple sources of supply.

We typically experience fluctuating prices for energy and raw materials driven by various factors, including changes in supplier feedstock costs and inventories, global industry activity levels, foreign currency exchange rates, government regulation, tariffs, and global supply and demand factors. Despite the impact of previously enacted tariffs, anti-dumping duties and significant uncertainty related to global tariff rates and policies throughout 2025, raw material costs were generally stable during the year and did not change significantly compared to 2024. In 2026, raw material costs are expected to continue to remain relatively flat compared to 2025.

We are subject to existing and evolving standards relating to the regulation and registration of chemicals which could potentially impact the availability and viability of some of the raw materials we use in our production processes. Our ongoing, global product stewardship efforts are directed at maintaining our compliance with these standards. We anticipate that the number of chemical registration regulations will continue to increase globally, and we have implemented programs to track and comply with these regulations.

Our Supplier Sustainability Policy and our Human Rights Policy build upon our Global Supplier Code of Conduct by establishing expectations for sustainability within our operations and our supply chain. These policies reinforce our expectations that our suppliers, as well as their subcontractors, will comply fully with applicable laws and adhere to internationally recognized environmental, social and corporate-governance standards.

***Global Operations***

PPG has significant non-U.S. operations. This broad geographic footprint serves to lessen the significance to us of economic impacts occurring in any one region of the world. As a result of our global footprint, we are subject to certain inherent risks, including economic and political conditions in international markets, trade protection measures and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. During 2025, foreign currency translation increased Net sales by $137 million and decreased Income before income taxes by $8 million.

Refer to Note 20, "Revenue Recognition" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional geographic information pertaining to sales and Note 21, "Reportable Business Segment Information" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for geographic information related to PPG's property, plant and equipment.

***Seasonality***

PPG's Income before income taxes has typically been greater in the second and third quarters and Cash from operating activities has been greatest in the fourth quarter due to end-use market seasonality, primarily in our architectural coatings and traffic solutions businesses. Demand for our architectural coatings in Europe and traffic solutions products in the U.S and Canada is typically the strongest in the second and third quarters due to higher home improvement, maintenance and construction activity during the spring and summer months. The Latin American paint season is the strongest in the fourth quarter. These cyclical activity levels result in the collection of outstanding receivables and lower inventory on hand in the fourth quarter generating higher Cash from operating activities.

***Human Capital***

As of December 31, 2025, PPG employed approximately 43,500 people, of which approximately 11,000 were in the United States and approximately 32,500 were elsewhere in the world. The Company has numerous collective bargaining agreements throughout the world. We observe local customs, laws and practices in labor relations when negotiating collective bargaining agreements. There were no significant work stoppages in 2025. While we have experienced occasional work stoppages and may experience some work stoppages in the future, we believe that we will be able to negotiate all labor agreements on satisfactory terms. To date, these work stoppages have not had a significant impact on our results of operations. Overall, we believe we have good relationships with our employees.

The PPG Way is a set of behaviors that enables, empowers and engages each employee to fully live our values and realize our full potential as an organization. It guides our employees and leaders as we strive to achieve our purpose of protecting and beautifying the world. Employee engagement is a measure of the extent to which our employees are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to our work and workplace. In 2025, employee engagement remained strong, with our October 2025 engagement survey showing consistently high levels of engagement across the workforce, supporting the organizational health required to deliver the Company's long term growth strategy.

Our human capital management strategies provide the foundation for our teams to thrive and deliver exceptional performance. These strategies in the areas of culture and purpose, employee engagement, development and pay equity are overseen by the Board of Directors, including its Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee. We are committed to ensuring our employees are safe, healthy, enabled, engaged and valued for the unique talents they bring to PPG. We believe that having quality dialogue with our people, recognizing the value they bring and championing an authentic culture generates engaged employees and a company that is more innovative, productive and competitive. Our focus on and investment in learning and development are crucial to ensuring we keep our people engaged, productive and successful at every stage of their careers. We are committed to promoting from within wherever possible while also bringing in new ideas, thoughts and insights.

One of PPG's greatest strengths is our people. Their talents and unique perspectives enable us to meet challenges quickly, creatively and effectively, providing a significant competitive advantage in today's global economy. To ensure our people feel valued and respected, we are committed to providing a workplace that embraces a culture of collaboration and is free from harassment and bullying.

Our environmental, health and safety policy and standards define our expectations, and we implement programs and initiatives to reduce health and safety risk in our operations. We measure progress against our health and safety goals using the injury and illness rate, which is calculated as the number of illness and injury incidents per 200,000 work hours. For 2025, our injury and illness rate was 0.22.

More information about PPG's human capital management strategies and our workforce can be found in the Proxy Statement for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in our Sustainability Report located at http://sustainability.ppg.com.

***Environmental Matters***

PPG is committed to operating in a sustainable and productive manner and to helping our customers meet their sustainability goals. Our sustainability efforts are overseen by the Sustainability and Innovation Committee of our Board of Directors. At the management level, day-to-day implementation of our sustainability initiatives is led by our Vice President, Global Sustainability who coordinates PPG's sustainability programs, integrates these programs into our business and communicates the benefits of our sustainably advantaged products to our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. The Vice President, Global Sustainability works with PPG's Sustainability Committee, a committee of management consisting of senior corporate executives, to establish and monitor our sustainability goals, policies, programs and procedures that incorporate sustainability into our business practices, including resource management, innovation, community engagement, communications, procurement, manufacturing and employee wellness.

Our dedication to innovation is intertwined with sustainability. In 2025, PPG continued to innovate and deliver sustainably-advantaged solutions based on our customers' desire to improve their productivity and to reduce overall value chain

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 8

environmental impacts. Our products contribute to lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles, airplanes and ships, and they help our customers reduce their energy consumption, conserve water and reduce waste. These products include compact automotive paint processes and low temperature cure capabilities that save energy and reduce water usage at customer manufacturing sites; sustainably-advantaged waterborne coatings formulations; sustainably-advantaged powder coatings; lightweight sealants and coatings for aircraft; coatings that cool surfaces; coatings for recyclable metal packaging; antimicrobial products; coatings that contain reduced materials of concern; architectural coatings that contain lower carbon content raw materials; and solutions for autonomous and battery-powered vehicles. For the year ended December 31, 2025, 43% of sales were from sustainably-advantaged products and processes that we have defined as addressing multiple sustainability benefits, including lower emissions, lower toxicity, energy efficiency, use of renewable raw materials or extending durability.

PPG is committed to using resources efficiently and integrating sustainability throughout our entire value chain to drive productivity improvements, including continued focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water withdrawal and total energy use. In 2023, PPG announced its near-term 2030 sustainability goals, including greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions targets that have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. PPG's 2030 sustainability goals include a commitment to reduce absolute emissions from its own operations (scope 1 and 2) by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 base year and to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, processing of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 30% within the same timeframe.

We are subject to existing and evolving standards relating to the protection of the environment. In management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and is well positioned, relative to environmental matters, within the industries in which it operates. PPG is negotiating with various government agencies concerning current and former manufacturing sites and offsite waste disposal locations, including certain sites on the National Priority List. While PPG is not generally a major contributor of wastes to these offsite waste disposal locations, each potentially responsible party may face governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability. Generally, however, a final allocation of costs is made based on relative contributions of wastes to the site. There is a wide range of cost estimates for cleanup of these sites, due largely to uncertainties as to the nature and extent of their condition and the methods that may have to be employed for their remediation. The Company has established reserves for onsite and offsite remediation of those sites where it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Our experience to date regarding environmental matters leads us to believe that we will have continuing expenditures for compliance with provisions regulating the protection of the environment and for present and future remediation efforts at waste and plant sites. Management anticipates that such expenditures will occur over an extended period of time.

In addition to the $206 million currently reserved for environmental remediation efforts, we may be subject to loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated to be approximately $100 million to $200 million. These reasonably possible unreserved losses relate to environmental matters at a number of sites, none of which are individually significant. The loss contingencies related to these sites include significant unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination at these sites and the methods that may have to be employed to remediate them.

Management believes that the outcome of these environmental contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity; however, any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Refer to Note 15, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information related to environmental matters and our accrued liability for estimated environmental remediation costs.

---

We believe that the amount spent on capital expenditures for environmental control projects in 2026 will be similar to 2025. Actual future capital expenditures may differ from expectations due to the inherent uncertainties involved in estimating future environmental remediation compliance costs, including possible technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other factors.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

As a global manufacturer of paints, coatings and specialty products, we operate in a business environment that includes risks. Each of the risks described in this section could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and liquidity. While the factors listed here are considered to be the more significant factors, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles which may adversely affect our businesses and our results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

**<u>Economic Risks</u>**

***Increases in prices and declines in the availability of raw materials could negatively impact our financial results.***

Our financial results are significantly affected by the cost of raw materials. Raw materials include both organic, primarily petroleum-derived, materials and inorganic materials, including titanium dioxide. These raw materials represent PPG's single largest production cost component. Most of our raw materials are purchased from outside sources, and the Company has made, and plans to continue to make, supply arrangements to meet the planned operating requirements for the future. Adequate supply of critical raw materials is managed by establishing contracts, procuring from multiple sources, and identifying alternative materials or technology whenever possible. While not our customary practice, we also import raw materials and intermediates, particularly for use at our manufacturing facilities in the emerging regions of the world. In most cases, those imports are priced in the currency of the supplier and, therefore, if that currency strengthens against the currency of our manufacturing facility, our margins may be lower.

The Company is continuing its aggressive sourcing initiatives to effectively broaden our supply of high quality raw materials. These initiatives include qualifying multiple and local sources of supply, within Asia and other lower cost regions of the world, diversification of our resin supply, including adding on-site resin production at certain manufacturing locations, and a reduction in the amount of titanium dioxide and certain other raw materials used in our product formulations.

PPG continues to undertake actions to maintain supply arrangements adequate to meet planned operating requirements. However, raw material supply chain disruptions, including logistical and transportation challenges, could adversely impact our ability to procure raw materials. An inability to obtain certain critical raw materials has adversely impacted our ability to produce certain products in the past and could do so in the future. Additionally, the cost of raw materials fluctuates due to a number of factors, including changes in supplier feedstock costs and inventories, changes in the production capacity of suppliers, global industry activity levels, foreign currency exchange rates, government regulation, tariffs, export constraints and global supply and demand factors, any of which could increase raw material costs. If raw material costs increase and we are unable to offset these higher costs in a timely manner, our Income from continuing operations and Cash from operating activities would be adversely impacted.

***The pace of economic growth and level of economic and geopolitical uncertainty could have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows.***

Demand for our products and services depends, in part, on the general economic conditions affecting the countries and markets in which we do business. Weak economic conditions in certain geographies and changing supply and demand balances in the markets we serve have negatively impacted demand for our products and services in the past and may do so in the future. There is a high level of uncertainty surrounding future global economic conditions due to a number of factors, including the impact of fluctuating interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, including the international impacts of the ongoing wars in Ukraine and increasing tensions between China and the United States, commodity market volatility, potential changes to international trade agreements, the imposition of tariffs and the threat of additional tariffs, and labor shortages in certain regions of the world. PPG provides products and services to a variety of end-use markets in many geographies. This broad end-use market exposure and expanded geographic presence lessens the significance of any individual decrease in activity levels; nonetheless, lower demand levels may result in lower sales, which would adversely impact Income from continuing operations and Cash from operating activities.

***Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could affect our financial results.***

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect to our sales, expenses, profits, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate during each reporting period, as well as assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies will affect our Net sales, Net income and the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. We may use derivative financial instruments to reduce our net exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations related to foreign currency transactions. However, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 10

------

against major currencies, could adversely or positively affect our financial condition and results of operations which are expressed in U.S. dollars.

***The industries in which we operate are highly competitive.***

With each of our businesses, an increase in competition may cause us to lose market share or lose customers, adversely impacting our sales volumes, or compel us to reduce prices to remain competitive, which could result in reduced margins for our products. Additionally, our ability to increase prices may impact the overall economics for the products we offer. Competitive pressures may not only reduce our margins but may also impact our revenues and our growth which could adversely affect our results of operations.

***Public health crises, including pandemics and the measures taken by public health and government authorities to address them, have adversely impacted our financial condition and results of operations in the past, and could adversely impact us in the future.***

Our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations were adversely impacted by public health crises in the past, including impacts from efforts by public health officials to contain the public health crises. The effects of public health crises could interfere with the ability of PPG, our suppliers, our customers, and others to conduct business and negatively affect consumer confidence and the global economy. Preventative and protective actions taken by public health officials, governments and PPG in response to public health crises could adversely impact our business, suppliers, distribution channels, and customers, due to business shutdowns, reduced workforce availability, reduced ability to supply products, or reduced demand for our products.

**<u>Legal, Regulatory, and Tax Risks</u>**

***We are subject to existing and evolving standards relating to the protection of the environment.***

Environmental laws and regulations control, among other things, the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the handling, use, treatment, storage and clean-up of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and the investigation and remediation of soil and groundwater affected by hazardous substances. In addition, various laws regulate health and safety matters. The environmental laws and regulations we are subject to impose liability for the costs of, and damages resulting from, cleaning up current sites, past spills, disposals and other releases of hazardous substances. Violations of these laws and regulations can also result in fines and penalties. Future environmental laws and regulations, including rules requiring expanded reporting of certain environmental, safety and governance information, may require substantial capital expenditures or may require or cause us to modify or curtail our operations, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We are involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, and we may be involved in future lawsuits and claims, in which substantial monetary damages are sought.***

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. Those lawsuits and claims may relate to contract, patent, environmental, product liability, asbestos exposure, antitrust, employment, securities and other matters arising out of the conduct of PPG's current and past business activities. Any such claims, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming and expensive to defend and could divert management's attention and resources. We maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these potential claims, and the levels of insurance we maintain may not be adequate to fully cover any and all losses. We believe that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all current lawsuits and claims involving PPG, including those described in Note 15, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, will not have a material effect on PPG's consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Nonetheless, the results of any future litigation or claims are inherently unpredictable, and such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, Cash from operating activities or financial condition.

***We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, which could increase our compliance costs and could adversely affect our results of operations.***

We are subject to a wide variety of complex U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations, and legal compliance risks, including securities laws, tax laws, environmental laws, employment and pension-related laws, competition laws, U.S. and foreign export and trading laws, and laws governing improper business practices, including bribery. We are affected by new laws and regulations and changes to existing laws and regulations, as well as interpretations by courts and regulators. These laws and regulations effectively expand our compliance obligations and costs.

For example, regulations concerning the composition, use and transport of chemical products continue to evolve. Developments concerning these regulations could potentially impact the availability or viability of some of the raw materials we use in our product formulations and/or our ability to supply certain products to some customers or markets.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 11

------

Import/export sanctions and regulations also continue to evolve and could result in increased compliance costs, slower product movements or additional complexity in our supply chains.

Further, although we believe that we have appropriate risk management and compliance programs in place, we cannot guarantee that our internal controls and compliance systems will always protect us from improper acts committed by employees, agents, business partners or businesses that we acquire. Any non-compliance, improper actions or allegations of such could damage our reputation and subject us to civil or criminal investigations and shareholder lawsuits, could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, and could cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory costs.

***Changes in the tax regimes and related government policies and regulations in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our results and our effective tax rate.***

As a multinational corporation, we are subject to various taxes in both the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in these various jurisdictions may be subject to significant changes. For example, a number of countries have enacted legislation to implement the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's global minimum tax standards (referred to as Pillar 2), which has caused an increase to our effective tax rate. Our effective income tax rate is also affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets, the introduction of new taxes and changes in tax laws or their interpretation. If our effective income tax rate were to increase, our Cash from operating activities, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. Although we believe that our tax filing positions are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. If future audits find that additional taxes are due, we may be subject to incremental tax liabilities, possibly including interest and penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our Cash from operating activities, financial condition and results of operations.

**<u>Operational and Strategic Risks</u>**

***Our international operations expose us to additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results.***

PPG has a significant investment in global operations. This broad geographic footprint serves to lessen the significance of economic impacts occurring in any one region. Notwithstanding the benefits of geographic diversification, our ability to achieve and maintain profitable growth in international markets is subject to risks related to the differing legal, political, social and regulatory requirements and economic conditions of many countries. As a result of our operations outside the U.S., we are subject to certain inherent risks, including political and economic uncertainty, inflation rates, exchange rates, trade protection measures, local labor conditions and laws, restrictions on foreign investments and repatriation of earnings, and weak intellectual property protection. Recently, there has been an increase in global geopolitical uncertainty due to a number of factors, including the international impacts of the ongoing war in Ukraine and increasing tensions between China and the United States. In 2024, PPG completed the divestiture of its U.S. and Canada Architectural Coatings business, which further increases the percentage of sales recognized outside the U.S. During 2025, approximately 70% of the Company's total net sales were recognized outside of the United States.

***Business disruptions could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.***

Unexpected events, including supply disruptions, temporary plant and/or power outages, work stoppages, natural disasters and severe weather events, significant public health issues, computer system disruptions, challenges implementing, upgrading or transitioning enterprise resource planning systems, fires, war or terrorist activities, could increase the cost of doing business or otherwise harm the operations of PPG, our customers and our suppliers. It is not possible for us to predict the occurrence or consequence of any such events. However, such events could reduce our ability to supply products, reduce demand for our products or make it difficult or impossible for us to receive raw materials from suppliers or to deliver products to customers.

***The security of our information technology systems could be compromised which could adversely affect our operations or reputation.***

We rely extensively on global information technology systems, networks and services, certain of which are managed, hosted, provided and/or used by third parties or their vendors, to conduct our business. We use information technology systems, networks, and services throughout many of our key business processes, including, but not limited to, receiving customer orders, purchasing materials, producing inventory, shipping inventory to customers, collecting customer payments, and paying our employees and vendors.

Numerous and evolving information security threats, including advanced persistent threats and ransomware, pose a risk to the security of our systems, networks and services, as well as to the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data and of our critical business operations. The techniques, tools and tactics used in cyber-attacks evolve rapidly, including

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 12

------

from emerging technologies such as advanced automation or artificial intelligence and may be difficult to detect for periods of time. As a result we may face difficulties in anticipating and implementing adequate preventative measures or fully mitigating harms after such an attack. Our information technology systems, networks and services have been, and will likely continue to be, subject to cybersecurity attacks. We have implemented and operate a cybersecurity program designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our networks and systems as well as information that we own or is in our care. Notwithstanding our cybersecurity preparedness activities, we cannot guarantee that our security efforts or the security efforts of our third-party service providers will prevent all cybersecurity events. A material cybersecurity event could result in negative publicity, theft or other financial loss, modification or destruction of proprietary information or key information, manufacture of defective products, theft of personally identifiable information, and/or production downtimes and operational disruptions, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

***We are incorporating artificial intelligence technologies into our research, products, services and processes. These technologies may present business, operational, compliance and reputational risks.***

Artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine-learning technology continue to advance rapidly, presenting both opportunities and risks. If we cannot incorporate these rapidly advancing technologies as quickly or effectively as other companies, our competitive position and business results may suffer. Incorporation of these new technologies into our processes may result in new or expanded risks, including risks related to regulatory compliance, litigation, ethical concerns, confidentiality or cybersecurity, among other factors that could potentially adversely impact our business, reputation and financial results. The use of AI in the development of our products and services could increase the risk of loss or theft of our intellectual property and could subject us to incremental risks related to data privacy and cybersecurity. The use of AI can lead to unintended consequences, including generating content that appears correct but is factually inaccurate, misleading or otherwise flawed, or that results in unintended biases and discriminatory outcomes, which could harm our stakeholders, our reputation and our business. Additionally, we face risks of competitive disadvantage if our competitors are able to more effectively use AI to create products or services at a lower cost or higher quality compared to PPG's competing products or services.

***We may not effectively integrate acquired businesses into our existing operations.***

Growth through acquisitions is an important component of the Company's strategy. Over the last decade, we have successfully completed more than 50 acquisitions, and we will likely acquire additional businesses and enter into additional joint ventures in the future. Growth through acquisitions and the formation of joint ventures involve risks, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in assimilating acquired companies and products into our existing business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays in realizing the benefits from the acquired companies or products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diversion of our management's time and attention from other business concerns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties due to lack of or limited prior experience in any new markets we may enter;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unforeseen claims and liabilities, including unexpected environmental exposures, product liability, or existing information technology vulnerabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unexpected losses of customers or suppliers of the acquired or existing business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty in conforming the acquired business' standards, processes, procedures and controls to those of our operations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired businesses.

These risks or other challenges encountered in connection with our past or future acquisitions and joint ventures could cause delays in realizing the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or joint ventures, or such anticipated benefits may never be realized, which could adversely affect our results of operations, Cash from operating activities or financial condition.

***Our ability to understand our customers' specific preferences and requirements, and to innovate, develop, produce and market products that meet customer demand is critical to our business results.***

Our business relies on continued global demand for our brands and products. To achieve our business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to customers. This is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to produce and deliver products that meet the quality, performance and price expectations of our customers and our ability to develop effective sales, advertising and marketing programs.

We believe the automotive industry will experience significant and continued change in the coming years, including an increase in the production of electric vehicles. Vehicle manufacturers continue to develop new safety features such as collision avoidance technology and self-driving vehicles that may reduce vehicle collisions in the future, potentially

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 13

------

lowering demand for our automotive refinish coatings. In addition, through the introduction of new technologies, new business models or new methods of travel, such as ridesharing, the number of automotive OEM new-builds may decline, potentially reducing demand for our automotive OEM coatings and related automotive parts.

PPG is committed to developing and selling sustainably-advantaged products, which are designed to help our customers achieve their business and sustainability goals, including by reducing the amount of materials used in their processes. We expect that our focus on sustainably-advantaged products will drive future sales growth; however, as customers transition to sustainably-advantaged products, this could adversely impact our sales volumes as customers may require a lower quantity of our products due to reduced customer waste, extended durability and other similar impacts of using our sustainably-advantaged products.

Additionally, the development of customer-facing digital channels has and will continue to transform certain retail industries. An inability to develop such solutions and our customer's pace of adoption of those solutions could negatively affect our business or the market demand for our products. We manage our innovation pipeline and introduction of new products through a rigorous stage gate process. We continuously look at ways to optimize and improve the effectiveness of this process to deliver innovation and growth.

Our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to innovate our existing products and to develop and introduce new products. If we fail to keep pace with product innovation on a competitive basis or to predict market demands for our products, our businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***Our business success depends on attracting, developing and retaining a qualified workforce.***

Our continued business success depends on the efforts and abilities of our management team and employees. The skills, experience and industry knowledge of our employees significantly benefit our operations and performance. We compete with other companies both within and outside of our industry for talented personnel in a highly competitive labor market, and we may face challenges attracting or retaining qualified employees. If we are unable to effectively attract, develop and retain a qualified workforce, our businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

***PPG's aerospace coatings business depends, in part, on our ability to successfully meet customer demand, production targets and commitments.***

PPG is currently under contract to supply transparencies, coatings and sealants for use on existing and new commercial, general aviation and military aircraft manufactured by many of the largest global and regional aerospace manufacturers. Our aerospace business is currently experiencing a backlog resulting in product shortages to certain of our customers. In addition, many of our contracts contemplate production increases over the next several years. If we fail to meet production targets and commitments, or encounter difficulty or unexpected costs in meeting such levels, it could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results, or financial condition. Similarly, to the extent demand for our products increases rapidly and significantly in future periods, we may not be able to ramp up production quickly enough to meet the demand, which could result in production delays at our customers, lost opportunities for growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or competitive position. Additionally, delivery delays by us due to production interruptions or delays may subject us to liability from customer claims that such delay resulted in losses to the customer.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**

PPG's cybersecurity program is designed to protect and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our networks and systems as well as information that we own or is in our care through a risk-based approach. The Company's program is based on the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework and other applicable industry frameworks.

Our cybersecurity program includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ongoing employee cybersecurity awareness and training activities, which include frequent phishing testing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access management and access controls intended to implement Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) access;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• protection of certain data through encryption at rest and in transit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• monitoring and protection software;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a vulnerability management program that includes managing the risk of third-party software;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• periodic testing of our cybersecurity posture, including by independent third-party consultants; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• integrating cybersecurity requirements and other provisions into various contracts.

PPG has continued to invest in cybersecurity to evolve and improve its program. PPG regularly assesses and measures itself against industry practices to identify opportunities to improve its people, processes and technology used to identify, prevent, detect, respond and recover from cybersecurity incidents. When such improvements are identified and validated as appropriate in PPG's business context, they are incorporated in the roadmap for implementation.

To date, the risks from cybersecurity threats have not materially affected the Company. We have significantly increased our cybersecurity investments over the last five years and have implemented cybersecurity safeguards designed to detect and prevent cybersecurity events that may have a material adverse effect on the Company. Notwithstanding our increased cybersecurity investments and preparedness activities, sophisticated and targeted computer crime perpetrated by threat actors internal or external to the Company poses a risk to the security of our systems, facilities, and networks and to the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data, including but not limited to intellectual property and confidential and personal data. This could lead to negative publicity, theft or other financial loss, modification or destruction of proprietary information or key information, manufacture of defective products, production downtimes and operational disruptions, which could materially and adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness and results of operations. Refer to the risk factor titled "*The security of our information technology systems could be compromised which could adversely affect our operations or reputations"* in Item 1A of this Form 10-K for further detail regarding cybersecurity risks that could affect PPG's operations. We maintain insurance covering certain costs that we may incur in connection with cybersecurity incidents, which we believe is commensurate with the size and the nature of our operations. However, the Company may incur expenses and losses related to a cyber incident that are not covered by insurance or are in excess of our insurance coverage.

The PPG Board of Directors (the "Board") has overall responsibility for the oversight of risk management at PPG, which includes cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee"), is responsible for oversight of the Company's enterprise risk management ("ERM") program which provides oversight and governance of all of the Company's operational and financial risks, including risks from cybersecurity threats to the Company. The Audit Committee receives bi-annual reports and periodic briefings on cybersecurity matters, including key risks to the Company, recent developments, and risk mitigation activities from our Vice President and Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), who are both responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity program. In addition, the full Board receives bi-annual briefings from our CIO on our cybersecurity program. The Board and the Audit Committee also periodically review the results of exercises performed by our advisors as part of an independent assessment of PPG's cybersecurity program and internal preparedness.

In addition, the Enterprise Risk Committee, a committee of senior executives who identify and monitor the risks to PPG and are responsible for our ERM program, receives updated information on cybersecurity risks at each of its meetings.

As part of their oversight of our cybersecurity program, our CIO and our CISO oversee a team of cybersecurity professionals and are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Our CIO and CISO are trained information technology professionals, each of whom has earned degrees in information systems and business administration and has many years of experience in or managing global enterprise information technology at various organizations.

PPG maintains an internal communication hierarchy that is designed to communicate the occurrence of certain cybersecurity events and/or incidents into our systems to our CISO, our CIO, our company crisis response team, and, as appropriate, to certain members of senior management. This communication hierarchy includes protocols for informing the Audit Committee and the full Board of certain cybersecurity events or incidents and for determining the materiality thereof.

**Item 2. Properties**

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings**

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. These lawsuits and claims may relate to contract, patent, environmental, product liability, asbestos exposure, antitrust, employment, securities and other matters arising out of the conduct of PPG's current and past business activities. To the extent these lawsuits and claims involve personal injury, property damage and certain other claims, PPG believes it has adequate insurance; however, certain of PPG's insurers are contesting coverage with respect to some of these claims, and other insurers may contest coverage. PPG's lawsuits and claims against others include claims against insurers and other third parties with respect to actual and contingent losses related to environmental, asbestos and other matters.

From the late 1880's until the early 1970's, PPG owned property located in Cadogan and North Buffalo Townships, Pennsylvania which was used for the disposal of solid waste from PPG's former glass manufacturing facility in Ford City, Pennsylvania. In October 2018, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (the "DEP") approved PPG's cleanup plan for the Cadogan Property. In April 2019, PPG and the DEP entered into a consent order and agreement ("CO&A") which incorporated PPG's approved cleanup plan and a draft final permit for the collection and discharge of seeps emanating from the former disposal area. The CO&A includes a civil penalty of $1.2 million for alleged past unauthorized discharges. PPG's former disposal area is also the subject of a citizens' suit filed by the Sierra Club and PennEnvironment seeking remedial measures beyond the measures specified in PPG's approved cleanup plan, a civil penalty in addition to the penalty included in the CO&A and plaintiffs' attorneys fees. PPG and the plaintiffs settled plaintiffs' claims for injunctive relief and PPG agreed to enhancements to the DEP approved cleanup plan and a $250,000 donation to a Pennsylvania nonprofit organization. This settlement has been memorialized by an amendment to the CO&A which was appended to a Consent Agreement between PPG and the plaintiffs which has been entered by the federal court. The remaining claims in the case for attorneys' fees and a civil penalty are not affected by this settlement. A trial on the issue of a civil penalty under the Clean Water Act was held in June 2024. Following the trial, the parties filed Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the matter is now ready for a decision by the Court. With regard to plaintiffs' motion for attorneys' fees, the Court appointed a Special Master to review the parties' positions regarding the amount of fees that should be awarded.

In 2006, a lawsuit was filed in Manaus, Brazil, captioned <u>Di Gregório Navegação LTDA v. PPG Industries, Inc.</u> (the "Di Gregório litigation"). The lawsuit asserted claims arising from a November 1998 fire on a cargo ship off the coast of Brazil; the lawsuit alleges the fire was caused by PPG chemical products that were part of the ship's cargo. The plaintiff, a charterer of the ship, brought claims for various alleged damages. This litigation was pending as of July 18, 2012 when PPG and Eagle Spinco Inc. ("Eagle Spinco") signed a Separation Agreement setting forth the separation of the assets and liabilities of PPG's commodity chemicals business to an entity to be later identified by Eagle Spinco. The assets and liabilities identified in the Separation Agreement specifically included all liabilities relating to the Di Gregório litigation. On January 22, 2013, PPG and Eagle US 2, LLC ("Eagle US 2") signed a Contribution Agreement, by which PPG transferred to Eagle US 2 the assets and liabilities as set forth in the Separation Agreement. Georgia Gulf Corporation then acquired Eagle Spinco and Eagle US 2 in a merger transaction after which Georgia Gulf was renamed Axiall Corporation ("Axiall"). Thereafter, Axiall owned Eagle Spinco and Eagle US 2. Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Eagle US 2 acquired the assets and liabilities as defined in the Separation Agreement, including the Di Gregório litigation. In 2016, Westlake Corporation acquired Axiall and its subsidiaries, including Eagle Spinco and Eagle US 2. For convenience, Westlake Corporation, Axiall, Eagle Spinco, and Eagle US 2 collectively are referred to as "Westlake."

Under the Separation Agreement and Contribution Agreement, Eagle US 2 assumed the Di Gregório litigation liability, and Eagle Spinco and Eagle US 2 were required to remove PPG as an obligor for this liability. To the extent PPG was not removed as an obligor, the Separation Agreement provides that Eagle Spinco and Axiall must act as agents or subcontractors of PPG and pay any liability in the matter on PPG's behalf. The Separation Agreement also provides PPG an uncapped right of indemnification for all damages PPG incurs arising from the Di Gregório litigation and for any breach of the Separation Agreement or Contribution Agreement.

Since 2013, Westlake exclusively has controlled the defense of the Di Gregório litigation. In 2024, PPG learned that Westlake never substituted itself into the case in place of PPG or otherwise informed the Brazilian court that Westlake is the real party in interest and assumed all liability for the matter. On May 30, 2024, Westlake informed PPG that the Brazilian court entered an award against PPG (which remains the nominal defendant) that with prejudgment interest, fees, and costs would total over $700 million. More recently, Westlake informed PPG that it believes simple prejudgment interest applies to the judgment which would result in the final award being approximately $350 million. Westlake informed PPG that although it will continue to defend the case and pursue an appeal of the award, it will not post any bond, pay any judgment, or take any steps to prevent the plaintiff from attempting to execute on the judgment against PPG.

------

On May 17, 2024, Eagle Spinco filed a lawsuit against PPG in Delaware Superior Court alleging breach of the Separation Agreement and requesting declaratory relief (the "Eagle Spinco Lawsuit"). In its lawsuit, Eagle Spinco sought to have the Di Gregório liability determined to be one in which its obligation is only to indemnify PPG for any damages PPG incurs net of any insurance coverage available from PPG's insurers.

On June 13, 2024, PPG filed a lawsuit against Westlake in the Court of Chancery in Delaware (the "PPG Lawsuit"), asserting claims for specific performance, declaratory relief, breach of contract, and equitable estoppel. The PPG Lawsuit asserts: (a) Westlake assumed all liability for the Di Gregório litigation, (b) Westlake is obligated to remove PPG as an obligor in the litigation and has a continuing duty to act as PPG's agent to satisfy any award if PPG is not removed as an obligor in the case, (c) Westlake has the duty to pay any award, bond, court fees and other costs awarded in the Di Gregório litigation, (d) Westlake's obligations are unconditional and not contingent upon the recovery of any insurance proceeds and Westlake did not acquire any right to PPG's insurance assets, and (e) PPG has an uncapped right of indemnification if Westlake fails to satisfy its obligations under the Separation Agreement and Contribution Agreement. Eagle Spinco filed counterclaims in the PPG Lawsuit restating the claims originally asserted in the Eagle Spinco Lawsuit, and dismissed the Eagle Spinco Lawsuit.

PPG intends to vigorously enforce its rights under the Separation Agreement and Contribution Agreement and to hold Westlake accountable for any damages PPG suffers as a result of Westlake's breach of contract. A bench trial for the PPG Lawsuit was held in the Delaware Court of Chancery in May 2025. The court ordered post-trial briefing, and a final oral argument was held in July 2025. PPG expects the trial court to issue its final decision in 2026. PPG believes the risk of loss associated with this matter is remote.

For many years, PPG has been a defendant in lawsuits involving claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos. For a description of asbestos litigation affecting the Company, see Note 15, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The following discussion includes a comparison of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. A discussion of changes in our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 has been omitted from this Form 10-K, but may be found in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2024 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2025.

***Highlights***

Net sales of approximately $15.9 billion in 2025 were flat compared to 2024, with higher selling prices, sales volume growth and favorable foreign currency translation offset by the impact of divestitures.

Income before income taxes was $2,045 million in 2025, an increase of $193 million compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily due to lower business restructuring charges and impairment and other related charges, higher selling prices, improved manufacturing productivity and restructuring savings, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable sales mix and overhead and other cost inflation.

*Business restructuring, net*

In October 2024, the Company approved a comprehensive cost reduction program focused on reducing structural costs primarily in Europe and in certain other global businesses, along with other corporate costs following the divestitures of PPG's silicas products business and the architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada. In connection with approval of this restructuring program, the Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $239 million, representing employee severance and other cash costs. Refer to Note 8, "Business Restructuring" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

*Impairment and other related charges, net*

In 2025, the Company recognized pretax net impairment and other related charges of $24 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Performance Coatings segment. The charges primarily represented the impairment of definite-lived identified intangible assets.

In 2024, the Company received written approval from Russian regulatory authorities of a definitive agreement to sell the Company's remaining Russian business. As a result, the Company classified the business as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 and recognized an impairment charge of $146 million, primarily related to accumulated foreign currency translation losses.

Refer to Note 7 "Impairment and Other Related Charges, Net" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

*Other charges/(income), net*

Other charges/(income), net was higher in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to a net charge related to the anticipated resolution of an outstanding tax matter that includes both income taxes and non-income taxes and the absence of a gain recognized in 2024 on the divestiture of the silicas products business. Refer to Note 18, "Other Charges/(Income), Net" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

---

The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 22.4%, a decrease of 3.2% compared to the prior year, primarily due to the absence of the 2024 impairment charge, which had no associated income tax benefit, and a reduction in the provision for uncertain tax positions. The adjusted effective tax rate was 23.5%, which was slightly higher than the prior year adjusted effective tax rate.

Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased year over year primarily due to lower business restructuring and impairment and other related charges, higher selling prices, improved manufacturing productivity, restructuring savings and the lower effective tax rate, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of sales mix and overhead and other cost inflation.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased year over year due to the unfavorable impact of sales mix and overhead and other cost inflation, partially offset by higher selling prices, increased manufacturing productivity and restructuring savings.

Refer to the Regulation G Reconciliations - Results from Operations for additional information.

***Review and Outlook***

During 2025, PPG demonstrated resilience in a challenging macroeconomic environment by growing both selling prices and sales volumes and generating $1.9 billion in operating cash flow. Net sales were $15.9 billion, similar to the prior year. Results were supported by the breadth and diversity of the business portfolio, as the Company benefited from higher prices and sales volumes in several businesses and favorable foreign currency translation, which was offset by the impact of divestitures completed in 2024. Net sales, excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures ("organic sales") increased 2% during the year with continued strong growth in our aerospace coatings business and share gains in both the packaging coatings business and the protective and marine business, which were partially offset by declines in the automotive refinish coatings, industrial coatings and architectural coatings EMEA businesses. Earnings per diluted

share from continuing operations was $6.92, compared to $5.72 in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share was $7.58, a decrease of 4% compared to $7.87 in 2024. Total segment income decreased by 3%. Aggregate segment margins were 60 basis points lower than the prior year, driven by a decline in industry project-related spending on architectural coatings in Mexico in the first half of 2025 and a decline in automotive refinish coatings sales volumes in the second half of the year.

Demand for PPG products was mixed by end-use market and geographic region during 2025. Demand for aerospace coatings and protective and marine coatings was strong with double-digit percentage organic sales growth year over year. Automotive refinish coatings demand was impacted by lower collision claims in the U.S. which drove volume declines in the second half of 2025. Global automotive OEM manufacturers' production increased by about 4% versus 2024 with higher demand in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions more than offsetting lower demand in the United States and Europe. PPG outperformed the market in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 driven by share gains.

On a regional basis, sales volume increases in the United States and Canada, Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions were partially offset by decreases in Europe. In the U.S. and Canada, demand was strong for aerospace coatings, protective and marine coatings, packaging coatings and traffic solutions but declined for most other businesses. In Asia, demand was strong with sales volume growth in protective and marine coatings, automotive OEM coatings, and packaging coatings. In Latin America, demand was negatively impacted in the first half of the year as project-related spending was paused due to tariff uncertainties. However, demand for architectural retail sales was strong within the region, and the Company delivered growth in automotive OEM products and packaging coatings. Demand was soft in Europe with the largest impact on the automotive OEM coatings business and the architectural coatings business.

In 2026, we anticipate demand in Europe and in global industrial end-use markets to remain challenged. Despite the macroeconomic environment, we expect growth will be driven by aerospace coatings and architectural coatings in Mexico as well as share gains in our Industrial Coatings segment, resulting in organic sales growth in the range of flat to a positive low single-digit percentage. This reflects the strength of our focused organization and our sharpened portfolio of technology-advantaged products and services.

*Significant other factors*

During the year, PPG made significant progress to reduce costs and improve the profitability of the overall business portfolio through the global restructuring programs. In October 2024, the Company approved a comprehensive cost reduction program with anticipated annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $175 million once fully implemented. Total restructuring savings were approximately $75 million in 2025 and the Company expects approximately $50 million in incremental savings in 2026. The multi-year program is focused on reducing structural costs primarily in Europe and in certain other global businesses, along with other corporate costs following the divestitures of PPG's silicas products business and the architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada. The Company will continue to monitor and manage its cost structure to ensure alignment with the overall demand environment.

Raw materials are the Company's most significant input cost. PPG experiences fluctuating energy and raw material costs driven by various factors, including changes in supplier feedstock costs and inventories, global industry activity levels, foreign currency exchange rates, tariffs and global supply and demand factors.

In 2025, the Company incurred wage inflation, which adversely impacted operating costs compared to 2024. There was an ample supply of commodity-related raw materials in all regions, and raw material inflation had a negligible impact on our operating costs for 2025 versus 2024. PPG did not experience a significant decrease in customer demand, significant increase in raw material costs, or other significant adverse impacts related to tariffs during 2025. The Company continues to monitor overall economic demand and customer order patterns and is prepared to take actions intended to mitigate adverse impacts, as necessary, through supply chain contingency plans, pricing actions, and/or cost reduction actions. In 2026, we anticipate that raw material costs will remain relatively flat compared to 2025. Additionally, we expect manufacturing efficiencies to improve as the year progresses.

We achieved selling price improvement across several businesses in 2025 stemming from our technology-advantaged products and solutions, partially offset by lower selling prices in the Industrial Coatings segment from certain index-based customer contracts. The Company will carefully monitor all costs during 2026 and assess the need for additional selling price increases.

In 2025, the U.S. dollar strengthened against certain currencies in the countries where PPG operates during the first half of 2025, but weakened in the second half of the year, resulting in a net unfavorable impact to net income from continuing operations in the first half of the year partially offset by a net favorable impact in the second half of the year. Based on recent exchange rates, we expect that foreign currency exchange rates will have a slightly favorable impact on net income

from continuing operations in 2026; however, the Company generally purchases raw materials, incurs manufacturing costs and sells finished goods in the same currency, which reduces foreign currency transaction-related impacts to net income.

The 2026 effective tax rate from continuing operations is expected to be in the range of 24% to 25%, varying by quarter. This range is the Company's best estimate and represents an increase compared to the 2025 adjusted effective tax rate driven by higher rates in certain countries, including the impact of global minimum tax standards, and the geographic mix of earnings.

Over the past three years, the Company used nearly $1.6 billion of cash to repurchase approximately 12 million shares of PPG stock, including using $790 million to repurchase shares of PPG stock during 2025. The Company ended the year with approximately $2.0 billion remaining under its current share repurchase authorization. During 2025, the Company deployed $778 million for capital expenditures and $628 million for dividends. In 2025, PPG marked the 54th annual per share dividend increase and the 126th successive year of annual dividend payments.

PPG ended 2025 with approximately $2.2 billion in cash and short-term investments. The Company expects strong cash generation in 2026.

***Regulation G Reconciliations - Results from Operations***

PPG believes investors' understanding of the Company's performance is enhanced by the disclosure of net income from continuing operations, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, and PPG's effective tax rate adjusted for certain items, and segment income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. PPG's management considers this information useful in providing insight into the Company's ongoing performance because it excludes the impact of items that cannot reasonably be expected to recur on a quarterly basis or that are not attributable to our primary operations. Net income from continuing operations, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, the effective tax rate and segment income adjusted for these items are not recognized financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and should not be considered a substitute for net income from continuing operations, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, the effective tax rate, segment income or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share and the adjusted effective tax rate may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies.

Income before income taxes from continuing operations is reconciled to adjusted income before income taxes from continuing operations, the effective tax rate from continuing operations is reconciled to the adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations and net income from continuing operations (attributable to PPG) and earnings per share – assuming dilution (attributable to PPG) are reconciled to adjusted net income from continuing operations (attributable to PPG) and adjusted earnings per share – assuming dilution below.

Architectural coatings EMEA organic sales decreased by a low single-digit percentage year over year due to lower sales volumes partially offset by higher selling prices. Overall demand for architectural coatings in Europe was lower and mixed by country.

Architectural coatings Latin America and Asia Pacific organic sales increased by a low single-digit percentage during the year primarily due to higher selling prices partially offset by lower sales volumes. In Mexico, retail demand for architectural coatings was solid and project-related spending continued to improve throughout the year.

Segment income decreased $79 million year over year primarily due to wage and other cost inflation and lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher selling prices and cost reductions, including restructuring savings.

*Looking Ahead*

In the first quarter 2026, demand in Mexico is expected to be strong and consumer sentiment in Europe is expected to be tepid. First quarter 2026 organic sales for the Global Architectural Coatings segment are anticipated to increase in the range of by a low single-digit percentage to a mid-single-digit percentage compared to the first quarter 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*● Higher sales volumes (+2%)*

Automotive refinish coatings organic sales decreased by a mid-single-digit percentage with lower sales volumes partially offset by higher selling prices. Organic sales in the United States were lower as demand was suppressed by lower collision claims and as distributors managed their order patterns for PPG products toward the first half of 2025. The Company continues to grow the number of PPG LINQ™ subscriptions and PPG Moonwalk™ installations, further supporting customer productivity and related share gains.

Aerospace coatings organic sales increased by a double-digit percentage driven by increases in both price and sales volume in all regions. Demand remained strong, and customer order backlogs increased to approximately $315 million, even with improved production and other productivity gains. Global international and domestic air travel improved year over year, and passenger air traffic is forecasted to grow 5% in 2026. As demand for PPG's technology-advantaged products grows, the Company remains focused on debottlenecking and further expanding manufacturing capabilities to drive additional sales volume and earnings growth.

Protective and marine coatings organic sales increased by a double-digit percentage compared to the prior year driven by higher sales volumes. Increased sales volumes were driven by share gains in both protective and marine, reflecting demand for PPG's sustainably-advantaged products.

Traffic solutions organic sales increased by a mid single-digit percentage year over year due to higher sales volumes, which benefited from market share gains across North America, partially offset by lower selling prices.

Segment income increased $6 million year over year with higher selling prices and manufacturing efficiencies, offset by the impact of unfavorable sales mix and raw material, wage and other cost inflation.

*Looking Ahead*

In the first quarter 2026, continued strength in aerospace coatings is anticipated. Protective and marine coatings will begin to lap prior year share gains resulting in growth similar to the industry. In automotive refinish coatings, we anticipate lower organic sales due to customer order patterns and low industry demand. Traffic solutions is expected to follow typical seasonal trends. First quarter 2026 organic sales for the segment are anticipated to be within the range of down by a low single-digit percentage to flat compared to the first quarter 2025.

Automotive OEM coatings organic sales were flat year over year with higher sales volumes offset by lower index-based selling prices for certain customer contracts. Sales volume increases in the Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions were partially offset by declines in the United States and Europe, which decreased primarily due to lower new vehicle production.

For the industrial coatings business, organic sales decreased by a low single-digit percentage due to lower selling prices, including the impact of lower index-based prices under certain customer contracts. Sales volume increases in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region were offset by decreases in the United States.

Packaging coatings organic sales increased by a high single-digit percentage year over year due to higher sales volumes in all regions, including share gains in Europe aided by expanding regional regulations. Sales volume increases were partially offset by lower index-based selling prices in all regions.

Specialty products organic sales increased by a mid-single-digit percentage due to higher sales volumes and higher selling prices.

Segment income decreased $18 million year over year primarily due lower index-based selling prices and wage and other cost inflation, partially offset by increased manufacturing productivity, higher sales volumes, and restructuring and other cost savings.

*Looking Ahead*

In the first quarter 2026, global industrial production is expected to remain at a relatively low level with the potential for slight improvement in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region and lower demand in Latin America. First quarter 2026 organic sales for the segment are anticipated to be within the range of down by a low single-digit percentage to flat compared to the first quarter 2025.

**Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, including Environmental Matters**

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. Refer to Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" and Note 15, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a description of certain of these lawsuits.

As discussed in Item 3 and Note 15, although the result of any future litigation of such lawsuits and claims is inherently unpredictable, management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all lawsuits and claims involving PPG, including asbestos-related claims, will not have a material effect on PPG's consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized.

As also discussed in Note 15, PPG has significant reserves for environmental contingencies. Refer to the Environmental Matters section of Note 15 for details of these reserves. It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are exclusive of claims against third parties and are generally not discounted. In management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of the Company's environmental contingencies will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity; however, any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental contingencies will occur over an extended period of time.

The $545 million increase in Cash from operating activities - continuing operations was primarily due to higher net income and higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including the impact of lower incentive-based compensation payouts in 2025 versus 2024.

*Operating working capital*

Operating working capital is a subset of total working capital and represents (1) receivables from customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, (2) inventories, and (3) trade liabilities. Refer to Note 3, "Working Capital Detail" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information related to the components of the Company's operating working capital. We believe operating working capital represents the key components of working capital under the operating control of our businesses.

A key metric we use to measure our working capital management is operating working capital as a percentage of sales (fourth quarter sales annualized).

(1)As of December 31, 2025, the Term Loan was due in 2028. In January 2026, the Term Loan was amended to extend its maturity to January 2029.

The Company's commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt based on PPG's intent and ability to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis. Net payments on commercial paper were zero for both the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

*Credit agreements and lines of credit*

In April 2023, PPG entered into a €500 million term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan contains covenants that are consistent with those in the Credit Agreement discussed below and that are usual and customary restrictive covenants for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on the Company's ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions and to enter into consolidations, mergers or transfers of all or substantially all of its assets. In April 2023, PPG borrowed €500 million under the Term Loan. In December 2023, PPG obtained lender commitments sufficient to increase the size of the Term Loan by €250 million. In January 2024, PPG borrowed the additional €250 million. In December 2024, PPG obtained lender commitments sufficient to increase the size of the Term Loan by €300 million. In January 2025, PPG borrowed the additional €300 million. In January 2026, the Term Loan was amended to extend its maturity. Based on this amendment, the Term Loan terminates and all amounts outstanding are payable in January 2029.

In July 2023, PPG amended and restated its P5Y-year credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of August 30, 2019, extending the term through July 27, 2028. In October 2025, PPG amended the Credit Agreement to extend its maturity as to certain commitments. The amended Credit Agreement provides for a $2.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, of which $2,148 million of the total commitment has a term through July 2029 and $152 million of the total commitment has a term through July 2028. The Company has the ability to increase the size of the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $750 million, subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Term Loan and the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain a ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of 60% or less; provided, that for any fiscal quarter in which the Company has made an acquisition for consideration in excess of $1 billion and for the next five fiscal quarters thereafter, the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization may not exceed 65% at any time. As of December 31, 2025, Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization as defined under the Credit Agreement was 47%.

In addition to the amounts available under lines of credit, the Company maintains access to the capital markets and may issue debt or equity securities from time to time, which may provide an additional source of liquidity.

Refer to Note 10, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for information regarding notes entered into and repaid as well as details regarding the use and availability of committed and uncommitted lines of credit, letters of credit and debt covenants.

*Cash requirements*

We continue to believe that our cash on hand and short-term investments, cash from operations and the Company's access to capital markets will continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities, capital spending, acquisitions, dividend payments, debt service, share repurchases, contributions to pension plans, and PPG's significant cash requirements. The Company's significant cash requirements include the following contractual obligations and commitments.

(1)As of December 31, 2025, the Term Loan with an outstanding balance of $1,233 million was due in 2028. The Term Loan is shown as due in 2028 within this table. In January 2026, the Term Loan was amended to extend its maturity to January 2029.

(2)Interest on all outstanding debt.

(3)Includes interest payments.

(3)The unconditional purchase commitments are principally take-or-pay obligations related to the purchase of certain materials, utilities and services consistent with customary industry practice.

The Company's off-balance sheet arrangements include unconditional purchase commitments disclosed in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section in the cash requirements table as well as letters of credit as discussed in Note 10, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Other liquidity matters*

At December 31, 2025, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, including an accrual of related interest and penalties along with positions only impacting the timing of tax benefits, was $122 million. The timing of payments will depend on the progress of examinations by tax authorities. PPG does not expect a significant tax payment related to these obligations within the next year. The Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to if, or when, any significant cash settlements with tax authorities may occur.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Management has evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements and related notes presented in Item 8 of this Form 10-K and believes those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. We believe that the most critical accounting estimates made in the preparation of our financial statements are those related to accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and to accounting for pensions, other postretirement benefits, business combinations, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives because of the importance of management judgment in making the estimates necessary to apply these policies.

*Contingencies*

Contingencies, by their nature, relate to uncertainties that require management to exercise judgment both in assessing the likelihood that a liability has been incurred as well as in estimating the amount of potential loss. The most important contingencies impacting our financial statements are those related to environmental remediation, to pending, impending or overtly threatened litigation against the Company and to the resolution of matters related to open tax years. For more information on these matters, see Note 15, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" and Note 13, "Income Taxes" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

*Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans*

Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits involves estimating the cost of benefits to be provided well into the future and attributing that cost over the time period each employee works. To accomplish this, we make extensive use of assumptions about inflation, investment returns, mortality, turnover, medical costs and discount rates. The Company has established a process by which management reviews and selects these assumptions annually. Refer to Note 14, "Employee Benefit Plans" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for information on these plans and the assumptions used.

*Business Combinations*

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting to allocate costs of acquired businesses to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess costs of acquired businesses over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities impacts the determination of future operating results. In addition to using management

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 30

------

estimates and negotiated amounts, the Company uses a variety of information sources to determine the estimated fair values of acquired assets and liabilities including: third-party appraisals for the estimated value and lives of identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; third-party actuaries for the estimated obligations of defined benefit pension plans and similar benefit obligations; and legal counsel or other experts to assess the obligations associated with legal, environmental and other contingent liabilities.

The business and technical judgment of management is used in determining which acquired intangible assets have indefinite lives and in determining the useful lives of acquired finite-lived intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets.

*Goodwill and Intangible Assets*

The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test at least annually, or more frequently if an indication of impairment arises. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or asset is less than its carrying amount. In the quantitative test, fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions and estimates used in the discounted cash flow model include projected future revenues, discount rates, operating cash flows, capital expenditures and tax rates. For more information on these matters, see Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

We believe that the amounts recorded in the financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K related to these contingencies, pensions, other postretirement benefits, business combinations, goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are based on the best estimates and judgments of the appropriate members of PPG's management, although actual outcomes could differ from our estimates.

**Currency**

Comparing spot exchange rates at December 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, the U.S. dollar weakened against the currencies of many countries within the regions PPG operates, most notably the Mexican peso and the euro. As a result, consolidated net assets at December 31, 2025 increased by $949 million from December 31, 2024.

Comparing average exchange rates during 2025 to those of 2024, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of certain countries where PPG operates, including the Mexican peso and the euro, during the first half of 2025, but the U.S. dollar weakened in the second half of the year, resulting in a net unfavorable impact to Income before taxes in the first half of the year partially offset by a net favorable impact in the second half of 2025. This resulted in an unfavorable impact of $8 million on full year 2025 Income before income taxes from the translation of foreign income into U.S. dollars.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Management's Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Annual Report contain forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to current or historic facts. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words "aim," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project," "outlook," "forecast" and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to the SEC. Also, note the following cautionary statements.

Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's forward-looking statements. Such factors include statements related to global economic conditions, geopolitical issues, increasing price and product competition by our competitors, fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials, energy, labor and logistics, the ability to achieve selling price increases, the ability to recover margins, customer inventory levels, PPG inventory levels, our ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, the timing of and the realization of anticipated cost savings from restructuring initiatives, the ability to identify additional cost savings opportunities, the timing and expected benefits of our acquisitions, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving expected synergies therefrom, the amount of future share repurchases, economic and political conditions in the markets we serve, the imposition of tariffs, the ability to penetrate existing, developing and emerging foreign and domestic markets, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax rates, the impact of future legislation, the impact of environmental regulations, unexpected business disruptions, cybersecurity events, global human health issues, the unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation, including asbestos litigation, and government investigations. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 31

------

Consequently, while the list of factors presented here and in Item 1A is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

Consequences of material differences in the results compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, lower sales or income, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties, other factors set forth in Item 1A of this Form 10-K and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. PPG undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

PPG is exposed to market risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to manage or reduce these market risks. A detailed description of these exposures and the Company's risk management policies are provided in Note 11, "Financial Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements" in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The following disclosures summarize PPG's exposure to market risks and information regarding the use of and fair value of derivatives employed to manage its exposure to such risks. Quantitative sensitivity analyses have been provided to reflect how reasonably possible, unfavorable changes in market rates could impact PPG's consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

*Foreign Currency Risk*

We conduct operations in many countries around the world. Our results of operations are subject to both currency transaction and currency translation risk. Certain foreign currency forward contracts outstanding during 2025 and 2024 served as a hedge of a portion of PPG's exposure to foreign currency transaction risk. The fair value of these contracts were net assets of $1 million and net liabilities of $53 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The potential reduction in PPG's Income before income taxes resulting from the impact of adverse changes in exchange rates on the fair value of its outstanding foreign currency hedge contracts of 10% for European and Canadian currencies and 20% for Asian and Latin American currencies for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have been $447 million and $429 million, respectively.

PPG had U.S. dollar to euro cross currency swap contracts with a total notional amount of $375 million as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of these contracts were net assets of $11 million and $50 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A 10% increase in the value of the euro to the U.S. dollar would have had an unfavorable effect on the fair value of these swap contracts by reducing the value of these instruments by $40 million and $31 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PPG had non-U.S. dollar denominated debt outstanding of $4.1 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. A weakening of the U.S. dollar by 10% against European currencies and by 20% against Asian and South American currencies would have resulted in unrealized translation losses of $457 million and $369 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Interest Rate Risk*

The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest costs. PPG has interest rate swaps which converted $375 million of fixed rate debt to variable rate debt as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair values of these contracts were liabilities of $6 million and $16 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. An increase in variable interest rates of 10% would have lowered the fair values of these swaps and increased interest expense by $2 million and $5 million for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Considering the debt balance outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a 10% increase in interest rates in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe and a 20% increase in interest rates in Asia and South America would have increased annual interest expense associated with PPG's variable rate debt obligations by $3 million for both the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Further, a 10% reduction in interest rates would have increased the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt by approximately $73 million and $77 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively; however, such changes would not have had an effect on PPG's annual Income before income taxes or cash flows.

**Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data**

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

***To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of PPG Industries, Inc.***

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PPG Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 33

------

inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matters***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Annual Goodwill Impairment Test – Architectural Coatings Europe, Middle East and Africa Reporting Unit* 

As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's consolidated goodwill balance was $6,149 million as of December 31, 2025, a portion of which relates to the goodwill for the Architectural Coatings Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) reporting unit. Management tests goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test, at least annually in connection with management's strategic planning process or more frequently if an indication of impairment exists. Management's quantitative goodwill impairment testing, if deemed necessary, is performed during the fourth quarter of each year by comparing the estimated fair value of an associated reporting unit to its carrying value. In 2025, the annual impairment testing of goodwill did not result in impairment of any of the Company's reporting units. As disclosed by management, in the quantitative test, fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model included projected future revenues, discount rates, operating cash flows, capital expenditures, and tax rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the annual goodwill impairment test of the Architectural Coatings EMEA reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Architectural Coatings EMEA reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumption related to the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's goodwill impairment test, including controls over the valuation of the Architectural Coatings EMEA reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate of the Architectural Coatings EMEA reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumption used by management related to the discount rate. Evaluating management's assumption related to the discount rate involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Architectural Coatings EMEA reporting unit and (ii) whether the assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

**Management Report**

***Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this evaluation, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)*. Based on this evaluation we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their report, included on pages 33-34 of this Form 10-K, regarding the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

***Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG" or the "Company") and all subsidiaries, both U.S. and non-U.S., that it controls. PPG owns more than 50% of the voting stock of most of the subsidiaries that it controls. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company's ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders' interests are shown as noncontrolling interests. Investments in companies in which PPG owns 20% to 50% of the voting stock and has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As a result, PPG's share of income or losses from such equity affiliates is included in the consolidated statement of income and PPG's share of these companies' shareholders' equity is included in Investments on the consolidated balance sheet. Transactions between PPG and its subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.

***Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates also include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting from the allocation of the purchase price related to business combinations consummated. Actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

***Revenue Recognition***

Revenue is recognized as performance obligations with the customer are satisfied, at an amount that is determined to be collectible. For the sale of products, this generally occurs at the point in time when control of the Company's products transfers to the customer based on the agreed upon shipping terms.

***Shipping and Handling Costs***

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are reported in Net sales in the consolidated statement of income. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of goods to customers are included in Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statement of income.

***Selling, General and Administrative Costs***

Amounts presented in Selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statement of income are comprised of selling, customer service, distribution and advertising costs, as well as the costs of providing corporate-wide functional support in areas such as finance, law, human resources and planning. Distribution costs pertain to the movement and storage of finished goods inventory at company-owned and leased warehouses and other distribution facilities.

***Advertising Costs***

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and totaled $199 million, $203 million and $193 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

***Research and Development***

Research and development costs, which consist primarily of employee-related costs, are charged to expense as incurred.

---

***Legal Costs***

Legal costs, which primarily include costs associated with acquisition and divestiture transactions, general litigation, environmental regulation compliance, patent and trademark protection and other general corporate purposes, are charged to expense as incurred.

***Income Taxes***

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating losses and tax credit carryforwards as well as differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in Income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income in the period that includes the enactment date.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 40

------

A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets in situations where PPG determines it is more likely than not such assets will not ultimately be realized.

PPG does not recognize a tax benefit unless it concludes that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, PPG recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that, in PPG's judgment, is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. PPG records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Income tax expense in the consolidated statement of income.

***Foreign Currency Translation***

The functional currency of most significant non-U.S. operations is their local currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

***Cash Equivalents***

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments (valued at cost, which approximates fair value) acquired with an original maturity of three months or less.

***Short-term Investments***

Short-term investments are highly liquid, high credit quality investments (valued at cost plus accrued interest) that have stated maturities of greater than three months to less than one year. The purchases and sales of these investments are classified as Investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

***Marketable Equity Securities***

The Company's investment in marketable equity securities is recorded at fair market value and reported as Other current assets and Investments on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair market value recorded in income.

***Inventories***

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Most U.S. inventories are stated at cost, using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of accounting, which does not exceed net realizable value. All other inventories are stated at cost, using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting, which does not exceed net realizable value. PPG determines cost using either average or standard factory costs, which approximate actual costs, excluding certain fixed costs such as depreciation and property taxes. Refer to Note 3, "Working Capital Detail" for further information related to the Company's inventories.

***Derivative Financial Instruments***

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments (a "derivative") as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the use of the instrument.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gains or losses on the derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet are reclassified into Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions are recorded in Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income, offsetting the gain or loss recognized for the change in fair value of the asset, liability, or firm commitment that is being hedged.

For derivatives, debt or other financial instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the gains or losses associated with the financial instruments are reported as translation gains or losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet. Gains and losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to hedges of the Company's net investments in foreign operations are reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income upon a substantial liquidation, sale or partial sale of such investments or upon impairment of all or a portion of such investments. The cash flow impact of these instruments is classified as Investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes are recognized in Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income in the period of change.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 41

***Property, Plant and Equipment***

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of related assets. Accelerated depreciation expense is recorded when facilities or equipment are subject to abnormal economic conditions, restructuring actions or obsolescence.

The cost of significant improvements that add to productive capacity or extend the lives of properties are capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When a capitalized asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the original cost and related accumulated depreciation balance are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss is recorded in Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. The amortization cost of finance lease assets is recorded in Depreciation expense in the consolidated statement of income. Property and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Refer to Note 4, "Property, Plant and Equipment" for further details.

***Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets***

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible and intangible assets less liabilities assumed from acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition.

PPG is a multinational manufacturer with 10 operating segments (which the Company refers to as "strategic business units") that are organized based on the Company's major product lines. These operating segments are also the Company's reporting units for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, which is tested at least annually in connection with PPG's strategic planning process or more frequently if an indication of impairment exists. The Company tests goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including reporting unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company may elect to bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of its reporting units and perform a quantitative test. Quantitative goodwill impairment testing, if deemed necessary, is performed during the fourth quarter of each year by comparing the estimated fair value of an associated reporting unit to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions and estimates used in the discounted cash flow model include projected future revenues, discount rates, operating cash flows, capital expenditures and tax rates.

The annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment takes place in the fourth quarter of each year either by completing a qualitative assessment or quantitatively by comparing the estimated fair value of each trademark to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using the relief from royalty method (a discounted cash flow methodology). The qualitative assessment includes consideration of factors, including revenue relative to the asset being assessed, the operating results of the related business and industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.

Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (1 to 30 years) and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

***Receivables and Allowances*** 

All trade receivables are reported on the consolidated balance sheet at the outstanding principal adjusted for any allowance for doubtful accounts and any charge offs. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce receivables to their estimated net realizable value when it is probable that a loss will be incurred. Those estimates are based on historical collection experience, current regional economic and market conditions, the aging of accounts receivable, assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, and forward-looking information. Refer to Note 20, "Revenue Recognition" for further details.

***Leases***

The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or purchase its right of use assets at the inception of the lease and accounts for these options when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. Certain real estate leases contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Variable lease expense is based on contractual arrangements with PPG's lessors determined based on external indices or other relevant market factors. In addition, PPG's variable lease expense also includes elements of a contract that do not represent a good or service but for which the lessee is responsible for paying.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 42

------

Nearly all of PPG's lease contracts do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. For these contracts, PPG's estimated incremental borrowing rate is based on information available at the inception of the lease.

***Product Warranties***

The Company accrues for product warranties at the time the associated products are sold based on historical claims experience. The reserve, pretax charges against income and cash outlays for product warranties were not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for any year presented.

***Asset Retirement Obligations***

An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of that long-lived asset. PPG recognizes asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement obligation is subsequently adjusted for changes in fair value. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over its useful life. PPG's asset retirement obligations are primarily associated with the retirement or closure of certain assets used in PPG's manufacturing process. The accrued asset retirement obligation is recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and was $12 million and $11 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

PPG's only conditional asset retirement obligation relates to the possible future abatement of asbestos contained in certain PPG production facilities. The asbestos in PPG's production facilities arises from the application of normal and customary building practices in the past when the facilities were constructed. This asbestos is encapsulated in place and, as a result, there is no current legal requirement to abate it. Because there is no requirement to abate, the Company does not have any current plans or an intention to abate and therefore the timing, method and cost of future abatement, if any, are not known. The Company has not recorded an asset retirement obligation associated with asbestos abatement, given the uncertainty concerning the timing of future abatement, if any.

***Environmental Contingencies***

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are exclusive of claims against third parties and are generally not discounted.

***Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale***

The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale (a "disposal group") when management commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company considers various factors, particularly whether actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Any loss resulting from the measurement is recognized in the period the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized until the date of the sale. When the disposal group is classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization ceases and the Company tests the assets for impairment.

***Reclassifications***

Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our previously reported Net income, cash flows or shareholders' equity.

***Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025***

Effective for the annual period ended December 31, 2025, PPG adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)". This ASU updated current income tax disclosure requirements to require disclosures of specific categories of information within the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. PPG elected to apply ASU 2023-09 prospectively. Adoption of this ASU resulted in additional disclosure, but did not impact PPG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

***Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Years***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". The ASU requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. The ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and our definition of selling expenses. This ASU will be effective for the

annual period ending December 31, 2027. Adoption of this ASU will result in additional disclosure, but will not impact PPG's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software". The ASU is intended to modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous "development stage" model to align the accounting rules with how software is developed today. This ASU will be effective for PPG beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

**2. Divestitures**

*U.S. and Canada Architectural Coatings Business*

In 2024, PPG completed the sale of 100% of its architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada to American Industrial Partners (AIP), an industrials investor. PPG received $516 million in proceeds and recorded a loss on the sale of $285 million. No tax benefit was recorded on the loss. The loss on the sale was recorded in "Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the consolidated statement of income. The proceeds from the sale were recorded in "Cash from/(used for) investing activities - discontinued operations" in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

The sale represented a strategic shift in PPG's business portfolio that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations and cash flows were recast to present the results of the architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The results of the U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business were previously included in the Performance Coatings segment.

The operating results of discontinued operations related to the U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were as follows:

The following table presents the significant non-cash items and capital expenditures for the discontinued operations related to the U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business that are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

In conjunction with the divestiture of U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business, PPG entered into a supply agreement with the divested business to sell certain products, which are recognized as Net sales in the refinish coatings, industrial coatings and protective and marine coatings businesses. Additionally, PPG entered into transition services agreements to provide administrative services subsequent to the sale. The fees for services rendered under the transition services agreements are expected to offset the cost of providing those services.

*Silicas Products Business*

In 2024, PPG completed the sale of its silicas products business for $325 million in proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $129 million. The gain on the sale was recorded in "Other charges/(income), net" in the consolidated statement of income. The Company determined that the divestiture did not meet the criteria of a discontinued operation as it did not represent a strategic shift for the Company, and therefore, its historical results are included in the Company's continuing operations within the Industrial Coatings reportable business segment.

In the fourth quarter, the Company tests the carrying value of goodwill for impairment, as discussed in Note 1. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." In both 2025 and 2024, the annual impairment testing of goodwill did not result in impairment of any of the Company's reporting units. In conjunction with the 2023 assessment, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of the traffic solutions reporting unit was less than its carrying value, resulting in recognition of a goodwill impairment charge of $158 million in Impairment and other related charges, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the traffic solutions reporting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions and estimates used in the discounted cash flow model included projected future revenues, a discount rate, operating cash flows, capital expenditures, and a tax rate. The decline in the fair value of the traffic solutions reporting unit compared to prior periods was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate assumption) reflecting the current interest rate environment. In addition, the fair value was impacted by a decline in the reporting unit's long-term cash generation forecast due to the highly inflationary environment in Argentina and the fourth quarter 2023 divestitures of its European and Australian businesses.

As of December 31, 2025, accumulated goodwill impairment losses totaled $158 million, all of which relates to the Performance Coatings reportable segment.

In the fourth quarter, the Company tests the carrying value of indefinite-lived trademarks for impairment, as discussed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." In both 2025 and 2024, the annual impairment testing review of indefinite-lived intangibles did not result in an impairment. In conjunction with the 2023 annual impairment test, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of certain trademarks in the Global Architectural Coatings segment were less than the carrying value, resulting in recognition of impairment charges of $2 million in Impairment and other related charges, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Aggregate amortization expense was $125 million, $132 million and $154 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In the fourth quarter 2023, the Company recognized accelerated amortization expense of $6 million related to the exit of a non-core business.

**7. Impairment and Other Related Charges, Net**

In 2025, the Company recognized pretax net impairment and other related charges of $24 million related to a consolidated joint venture in the Performance Coatings segment. The charges primarily represented the impairment of definite-lived identified intangible assets and are included in Impairment and other related charges, net in the consolidated statement of income. Net loss of $12 million related to the charges was attributable to noncontrolling interests.

In 2023, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge for the traffic solutions reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges related to certain trademarks. Refer to Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets" for further detail related to this charge, which is included in Impairment and other related charges, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

*Sale of Russia Operations*

In 2024, the Company received written approval from Russian regulatory authorities of a definitive agreement to sell the Company's remaining Russian business. As a result, the Company classified the business as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 and recognized an impairment charge of $146 million during 2024, primarily related to accumulated foreign currency translation losses, which was included in Impairment and other related charges, net in the consolidated statement of income. No tax benefit was recorded on the impairment charge. The remaining liabilities of the business were reported as held for sale in Other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. In the first quarter 2025, PPG completed the sale of its remaining Russian business. The results of the business were reported within the Global Architectural Coatings reportable business segment.

**8. Business Restructuring**

The Company records restructuring liabilities that represent charges incurred in connection with consolidations of certain operations, including operations from acquisitions, as well as headcount reduction programs. These charges consist primarily of severance costs and certain other cash costs. As a result of these programs, the Company will also incur incremental non-cash accelerated depreciation expense for certain assets due to their reduced expected asset life. These charges are not allocated to the Company's reportable business segments. Refer to Note 21, "Reportable Business Segment Information" for additional information.

In 2024, the Company approved a comprehensive cost reduction program. The multi-year program focused on reducing structural costs primarily in Europe and in certain other global businesses, along with other corporate costs following the divestitures of PPG's silicas products business and the architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada. The program includes various facility closures and other targeted fixed cost reductions. In connection with approval of this restructuring program, the Company recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $239 million, representing employee severance and other cash costs. As a result of this program, the Company also recognized a $110 million non-cash charge in 2024 due to the recognition of accumulated currency losses related to the exit of its Argentina operations.

The majority of the remaining approved business restructuring actions and associated cash outlays are expected to be completed in 2026 and 2027.

The following table summarizes restructuring reserve activity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

*Credit Agreements*

In April 2023, PPG entered into a €500 million term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan contains covenants that are consistent with those in the Credit Agreement discussed below and that are usual and customary restrictive covenants for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on the Company's ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions and to enter into consolidations, mergers or transfers of all or substantially all of its assets. In April 2023, PPG borrowed €500 million under the Term Loan. In December 2023, PPG obtained lender commitments sufficient to increase the size of the Term Loan by €250 million. In January 2024, PPG borrowed the additional €250 million. In December 2024, PPG obtained lender commitments sufficient to increase the size of the Term Loan by €300 million. In January 2025, PPG borrowed the additional €300 million. In January 2026, the Term Loan was amended to extend its maturity. Based on this amendment, the Term Loan terminates and all amounts outstanding are payable in January 2029. The Term Loan is denominated in euro and has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in the Company's European operations. For more information, refer to Note 11 "Financial Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements."

In July 2023, PPG amended and restated its five-year credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") dated as of August 30, 2019, extending the term through July 27, 2028. In October 2025, PPG amended the Credit Agreement to extend its maturity as to certain commitments. The amended Credit Agreement provides for a $2.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, of which $2,148 million of the total commitment has a term through July 2029 and $152 million of the total commitment has a term through July 2028. The Company has the ability to increase the size of the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $750 million, subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or in euros. The Credit Agreement provides that loans will bear interest at rates based, at the Company's option, on one of two specified base rates plus a margin based on certain formulas defined in the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains a Commitment Fee, as defined in the Credit Agreement, on the amount of unused commitments under the Credit Agreement ranging from 0.060% to 0.125% per annum.

The Credit Agreement also supports the Company's commercial paper borrowings which are classified as long-term based on PPG's intent and ability to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary restrictive covenants for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on the Company's ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions and to enter into consolidations, mergers or transfers of all or substantially all of its assets. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of 60% or less; provided, that for any fiscal quarter in which the Company has made an acquisition for consideration in excess of $1 billion and for the next five fiscal quarters thereafter, the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization may not exceed 65% at any time. As of December 31, 2025, Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization as defined under the Credit Agreement was 47%.

The Credit Agreement contains, among other things, customary events of default that would permit the lenders to accelerate the loans, including the failure to make timely payments when due under the Credit Agreement or other material indebtedness, the failure to satisfy covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, a change in control of the Company and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

*Other Long-term Debt Activities*

In November 2025, PPG's €600 million 0.875% notes matured, and the Company repaid this obligation using cash on hand.

In October 2025, PPG completed a public offering of $700 million 4.375% Notes due 2031. These notes were issued pursuant to PPG's existing shelf registration statement and pursuant to an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented (the "2025 Indenture"). The 2025 Indenture governing these notes contains covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company's assets. The terms of these notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the 2025 Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The aggregate cash proceeds from the notes, net of discounts and fees, was $693 million.

*Restrictive Covenants and Cross-Default Provisions*

As of December 31, 2025, PPG was in full compliance with the restrictive covenants under its various credit agreements, loan agreements and indentures.

Additionally, the Company's Credit Agreement and Term Loan contain customary cross-default provisions.

PPG's non-U.S. operations have uncommitted lines of credit totaling $436 million of which none was used as of December 31, 2025. These uncommitted lines of credit are subject to cancellation at any time and are generally not subject to any commitment fees.

The Company had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of $272 million and $302 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The letters of credit secure the Company's performance to third parties under certain self-insurance programs and other commitments made in the ordinary course of business.

**11. Financial Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements** 

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash held in escrow, marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, company-owned life insurance, accounts payable, short-term and long-term debt instruments, and derivatives. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values at December 31, 2025 and 2024, in the aggregate, except for long-term debt instruments.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 51

------

**Hedging Activities**

The Company has exposure to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. As a result, financial instruments, including derivatives, have been used to hedge a portion of these underlying economic exposures. Certain of these instruments qualify as fair value, cash flow, and net investment hedges upon meeting the requisite criteria, including effectiveness of offsetting hedged or underlying exposures. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in Income before income taxes in the period incurred.

PPG's policies do not permit speculative use of derivative financial instruments. PPG enters into derivative financial instruments with high credit quality counterparties and diversifies its positions among such counterparties in order to reduce its exposure to credit losses. The Company did not realize a credit loss on derivatives during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025.

All of PPG's outstanding derivative instruments are subject to accelerated settlement in the event of PPG's failure to meet its debt or payment obligations under the terms of the instruments' contractual provisions. In addition, if the Company would be acquired and its payment obligations under its derivative instruments' contractual arrangements are not assumed by the acquirer, or if PPG would enter into bankruptcy, receivership or reorganization proceedings, its outstanding derivative instruments would also be subject to accelerated settlement.

In 2025 and 2024, there were no derivative instruments de-designated or discontinued as a hedging instrument. There were no gains or losses deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet that were reclassified to Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025 related to hedges of anticipated transactions that were no longer expected to occur.

*Fair Value Hedges*

The Company uses interest rate swaps from time to time to manage its exposure to changing interest rates. When outstanding, the interest rate swaps are typically designated as fair value hedges of certain outstanding debt obligations of the Company and are recorded at fair value.

PPG has interest rate swaps which converted $375 million of fixed rate debt to variable rate debt as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges and are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these swaps and changes in the fair value of the related debt are recorded in Interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The fair value of these interest rate swaps were liabilities of $6 million and $16 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Cash Flow Hedges*

At times, PPG designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of the Company's exposure to variability in exchange rates on third party transactions denominated in foreign currencies. There were no outstanding cash flow hedges at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

*Net Investment Hedges*

PPG uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency euro-denominated debt to hedge a significant portion of its net investment in its European operations, as follows:

PPG had U.S. dollar to euro cross currency swap contracts with total notional amounts of $375 million as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and designated these contracts as hedges of the Company's net investment in its European operations. During the term of these contracts, PPG will receive payment in U.S. dollars and make payments in euros to the counterparties. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of these contracts were net assets of $11 million and $50 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, PPG had designated €3.5 billion and €3.2 billion, respectively, of euro-denominated borrowings as hedges of a portion of its net investment in the Company's European operations. The carrying value of these instruments was $4.1 billion and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

There were no foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges used or outstanding as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

*Other Financial Instruments*

PPG uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage net transaction exposures that do not qualify for hedge accounting; therefore, the change in the fair value of these instruments is recorded in Other charges/(income), net in the consolidated statement of income in the period of change. Underlying notional amounts related to these foreign currency forward contracts were $2.9 billion and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair values of these contracts were net assets of $1 million as of December 31, 2025 and net liabilities of $53 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively.

*Gains/Losses Deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss* 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accumulated pretax unrealized translation losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet related to the euro-denominated borrowings, foreign currency forward contracts, and the cross currency swaps of $572 million and gains of $460 million as of December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the amount of gains/(losses) deferred in Other comprehensive income ("OCI") and the amount and location of gains recognized within the consolidated statement of income related to derivative and debt financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

**Fair Value Measurements**

The Company follows a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure its assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were cash equivalents, equity securities and derivatives. In addition, the Company measures its pension plan assets at fair value (see Note 14, "Employee Benefit Plans" for further details). The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the following three levels:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 inputs are considered to be the most reliable evidence of fair value as they are based on unadjusted quoted market prices from various financial information service providers and securities exchanges.

Level 2 inputs are directly or indirectly observable prices that are not quoted on active exchanges, which include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. The fair values of the derivative instruments reflect the instruments' contractual terms, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward curves.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs employed for measuring the fair value of assets or liabilities. The Company does not have any recurring financial assets or liabilities that are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 that are classified as Level 3 inputs.

*Undistributed foreign earnings*

The Company had $7.5 billion of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025. This amount relates to approximately 220 subsidiaries in more than 50 taxable jurisdictions. The Company estimates repatriation of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 would result in a tax cost of $167 million.

------

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not changed its intention to reinvest foreign earnings indefinitely or repatriate when it is tax effective to do so, and as such, has not established a liability for foreign withholding taxes or other costs that would be incurred if the earnings were repatriated.

*Unrecognized tax benefits*

The Company files federal, state and local income tax returns in numerous domestic and foreign jurisdictions. In most tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed. In one tax jurisdiction, the Company remains subject to examinations by the tax authority for tax years dating back to 2007. In all other major jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. Furthermore, the Company is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for U.S. federal income tax returns filed for years through 2021, and there are no examinations open by the Internal Revenue Service for U.S. federal income tax returns.

A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) as of December 31 follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *($ in millions)* | ***2025*** | ***2024*** | ***2023*** |

---

(1)In 2025, the Company recorded a net charge related to the anticipated resolution of an outstanding tax matter. The Company expects to pay incremental income taxes and non-income taxes in the impacted taxing jurisdiction related to the matter. In connection with this matter, the Company reduced its provision for uncertain tax positions.

The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be significant. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $94 million as of December 31, 2025.

**14. Employee Benefit Plans** 

***Defined Benefit Plans***

PPG has defined benefit pension plans that cover certain employees worldwide. The principal defined benefit pension plans are those in the U.S., Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and the U.K. These plans in the aggregate represent 92% of PPG's total projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2025, of which the U.S. defined benefit pension plans represent the largest component.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company's U.S. salaried defined benefit plans were closed to new entrants. In 2011 and 2012, the Company approved amendments related to its U.S. and Canadian defined benefit plans pursuant to which employees stopped accruing benefits at certain dates based on the affected employee's combined age and years of service to PPG. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's U.S. and Canadian defined benefit plans were frozen for all participants. The Company plans to continue reviewing and potentially amending PPG defined benefit plans in the future.

*U.S. pension annuity contracts*

In March 2023, the Company purchased group annuity contracts that transferred to third-party insurance companies pension benefit obligations for certain of the Company's retirees in the U.S. who were receiving their monthly retirement benefit payments from a U.S. pension plan. The amount of each affected retiree's annuity payment was equal to the amount of such individual's pension benefit. The purchase of group annuity contracts was funded directly by the assets of the U.S. plans. By transferring the obligations and assets to the insurance companies, the Company reduced its overall pension projected benefit obligation by $309 million and recognized a non-cash Pension settlement charge of $190 million in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

*Postretirement medical* 

PPG sponsors welfare benefit plans that provide postretirement medical and life insurance benefits for certain U.S. and Canadian employees and their dependents of which the U.S. welfare benefit plans represent 87% of PPG's total projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2025. Salaried and certain hourly employees in the U.S. hired on or after October 1, 2004, or rehired on or after October 1, 2012 are not eligible for postretirement medical benefits. These plans in the U.S. and Canada require retiree contributions based on retiree-selected coverage levels for certain retirees and their dependents and provide for sharing of future benefit cost increases between PPG and participants based on management discretion. The Company has the right to modify, amend or terminate certain of these benefit plans in the future.

The following table sets forth the changes in projected benefit obligations ("PBO"), plan assets, the funded status and the amounts recognized on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans:

The PBO is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, including the effects of estimated future pay increases. The accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to date, but does not include the effects of estimated future pay increases. The ABO for all defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.

The following table details the pension plans where the benefit liability exceeds the fair value of the plan assets:

| Accumulated prior service credit |  |  | (11) | (16) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Total*** | $707 | $670 | ($64) | ($53) |

---

The accumulated net actuarial losses/(gains) for pensions and other postretirement benefits relate primarily to historical changes in the discount rates. The accumulated net actuarial losses exceeded 10% of the higher of the market value of plan assets or the PBO at the beginning of each of the last three years; therefore, amortization of such excess has been included in net periodic benefit costs for pension and other postretirement benefits in these periods. The amortization period is the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits unless a plan is mostly inactive in which case the amortization period is the average remaining life expectancy of the plan participants. Accumulated prior service credit is amortized over the future service periods of those employees who are active at the dates of the plan amendments and who are expected to receive benefits.

The net decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (pretax) related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to the following:

Service cost for net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs is included in Cost of sales, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, Selling, general and administrative, and Research and development, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Except for the U.S. pension settlement charge in 2023, which is recorded in Pension settlement charge, all other non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost are recorded in Other charges/(income), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

*Key assumptions*

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligation for the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | ***United States*** | ***United States*** | ***International*** | ***International*** | ***Total PPG*** | ***Total PPG*** |
| | ***2025*** | ***2024*** | ***2025*** | ***2024*** | ***2025*** | ***2024*** |
| Discount rate | 5.4% | 5.7% | 5.1% | 4.8% | 5.3% | 5.3% |
| Rate of compensation increase | 2.5% | 2.5% | 3.4% | 3.3% | 2.9% | 2.9% |

---

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for the Company's defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | ***2025*** | ***2024*** | ***2023*** |
| Discount rate | 5.3% | 4.9% | 5.2% |
| Expected return on assets | 6.7% | 6.6% | 6.5% |
| Rate of compensation increase | 2.9% | 2.8% | 2.7% |

---

These assumptions for each plan are reviewed on an annual basis. In determining the expected return on plan asset assumption, the Company evaluates the mix of investments that comprise each plan's assets and external forecasts of future long-term investment returns. The Company compares the expected return on plan assets assumption to actual historic returns to ensure reasonability. For 2025, the return on plan assets assumption for PPG's U.S. defined benefit pension plans was 7.7%. A change in the rate of return of 75 basis points, with other assumptions held constant, would impact 2026 net periodic pension expense by $6 million. The global expected return on plan assets assumption to be used in determining 2026 net periodic pension expense will be 7.1% (7.7% for the U.S. plans only).

The discount rates used in accounting for pension and other postretirement benefits are determined using a yield curve constructed of high-quality fixed-income securities as of the measurement date and using the plans' projected benefit payments. The Company has elected to use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension benefit cost/(income) for countries with significant pension plans. The full yield curve approach (also known as the split-rate or spot-rate method) allows the Company to align the applicable discount rates with the cost of additional service being earned and the interest being accrued on these obligations. A change in the discount rate of 75 basis points, with all other assumptions held constant, would impact 2026 net periodic benefit expense for our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans by $4 million and $1 million, respectively.

The weighted-average health care cost trend rate (inflation) used for 2025 was 6.6% declining to a projected 3.9% in the year 2050. For 2026, the assumed weighted-average health care cost trend rate used will be 5.6% declining to a projected 4.0% between 2025 and 2050 for medical and prescription drug costs. These assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis. In selecting rates for current and long-term health care cost assumptions, the Company takes into consideration a number of factors, including the Company's actual health care cost increases, the design of the Company's benefit programs, the demographics of the Company's active and retiree populations and external expectations of future medical cost inflation rates.

*Plan assets*

Each PPG sponsored defined benefit pension plan is managed in accordance with the requirements of local laws and regulations governing defined benefit pension plans for the exclusive purpose of providing pension benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. Investment committees comprised of PPG managers have fiduciary responsibility to oversee the management of pension plan assets by third party asset managers. Pension plan assets are held in trust by financial institutions and managed on a day-to-day basis by the asset managers. The asset managers receive a mandate from each investment committee that is aligned with the asset allocation targets established by each investment committee to achieve the plan's investment strategies. The performance of the asset managers is monitored and evaluated by the investment committees throughout the year.

Pension plan assets are invested to generate investment earnings over an extended time horizon to help fund the cost of benefits promised under the plans while mitigating investment risk. The asset allocation targets established for each pension plan are intended to diversify the investments among a variety of asset categories and among a variety of individual securities within each asset category to mitigate investment risk and provide each plan with sufficient liquidity to fund the payment of pension benefits to retirees.

The following summarizes the weighted average target pension plan asset allocation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 for all PPG defined benefit plans:

Real estate properties are externally appraised at least annually by reputable, independent appraisal firms. Property valuations are also reviewed on a regular basis and are adjusted if there has been a significant change in circumstances related to the property since the last valuation.

Other debt securities primarily consist of insurance contracts, which are valued externally by insurance companies based on the present value of the expected future cash flows.

Hedge funds consist of a wide range of investments which target a relatively stable investment return. The underlying funds are valued at different frequencies, some monthly and some quarterly, based on the value of the underlying investments. Other assets consist primarily of small investments in private equity funds and debt obligations of non-investment grade borrowers.

**Other Plans**

*Employee savings plans*

PPG's Employee Savings Plans ("Savings Plans") cover substantially all employees in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. The Company makes matching contributions to the Savings Plans, at management's discretion, based upon participants' savings, subject to certain limitations. For most participants, Company-matching contributions are established each year at the discretion of the Company and are applied to participant accounts up to a maximum of 6% of eligible participant compensation. The Company-matching contribution remained at 100% for 2025.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 62

------

Compensation expense and cash contributions related to the Company match of participant contributions to the Savings Plans for 2025, 2024, and 2023 totaled $38 million, $52 million and $49 million, respectively. A portion of the Savings Plans qualifies under the Internal Revenue Code as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Accordingly, dividends received on PPG shares held in that portion of the Savings Plans totaling $10 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 and $11 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are deductible for PPG's U.S. Federal tax purposes.

*Defined contribution plans*

Additionally, the Company has defined contribution plans for certain employees in the U.S., China, United Kingdom, Australia, Italy and other countries. The U.S. defined contribution plan is part of the Employee Savings Plan, and eligible employees receive a contribution equal to between 2% and 5% of annual compensation, based on age and years of service. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expense for its defined contribution retirement plans of $100 million, $97 million and $83 million, respectively. The Company's annual cash contributions to its defined contribution retirement plans approximated the expense recognized in each year.

*Deferred compensation plan*

The Company has a deferred compensation plan for certain key managers which allows them to defer a portion of their compensation in a phantom PPG stock account or other phantom investment accounts. The amount deferred earns a return based on the investment options selected by the participant. The amount owed to participants is an unfunded and unsecured general obligation of the Company. Upon retirement, death, disability, termination of employment, scheduled payment or unforeseen emergency, the compensation deferred and related accumulated earnings are distributed in a lump sum or in accordance with the participant's election in cash or in PPG stock, based on the accounts selected by the participant and whether the participant meets the definition of a retiree under the plan.

The plan provides participants with investment alternatives and the ability to transfer amounts between the phantom non-PPG stock investment accounts. To mitigate the impact on compensation expense of changes in the market value of the liability, the Company has purchased a portfolio of marketable securities that mirror the phantom non-PPG stock investment accounts selected by the participants, except the money market accounts. These investments are carried by PPG at fair market value, and the changes in market value of these securities are also included in Income before income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. Trading occurs in this portfolio to align the securities held with the participant's phantom non-PPG stock investment accounts, except the money market accounts.

The cost of the deferred compensation plan, comprised of dividend equivalents accrued on the phantom PPG stock account, investment income and the change in market value of the liability, was $16 million, $25 million and $23 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in Selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of income. The change in market value of the investment portfolio was income of $16 million, $23 million, and $21 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is also included in Selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company's obligations under this plan, which are included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $116 million and $125 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the investments in marketable securities, which are included in Investments and Other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, were $89 million and $94 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**15. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities** 

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. These lawsuits and claims may relate to contract, patent, environmental, product liability, antitrust, employment and other matters arising out of the conduct of PPG's current and past business activities. To the extent that these lawsuits and claims involve personal injury, property damage and certain other claims, PPG believes it has adequate insurance; however, certain of PPG's insurers are contesting coverage with respect to some of these claims, and other insurers may contest coverage with respect to some claims in the future. PPG's lawsuits and claims against others include claims against insurers and other third parties with respect to actual and contingent losses related to environmental, asbestos and other matters.

The results of any current or future litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable. However, management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all lawsuits and claims involving PPG will not have a material effect on PPG's consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized.

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 63

------

*Asbestos Matters* 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company was aware of certain asbestos-related claims pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company is defending these asbestos-related claims vigorously. The asbestos-related claims consist of claims against the Company alleging:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products manufactured, sold or distributed by the Company or its subsidiaries ("Products Claims");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• personal injury caused by asbestos on premises presently or formerly owned, leased or occupied by the Company ("Premises Claims"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asbestos-related claims against a subsidiary the Company acquired in 2013 ("Subsidiary Claims").

The Company monitors and reviews the activity associated with its asbestos claims and evaluates, on a periodic basis, its estimated liability for such claims and all underlying assumptions to determine whether any adjustment to the reserves for these claims is required. Additionally, as a supplement to its periodic monitoring and review, the Company conducts discussions with counsel and engages valuation consultants to analyze its claims history and estimate the amount of the Company's potential liability for asbestos-related claims.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's asbestos-related reserves totaled $43 million and $45 million, respectively.

The Company believes that, based on presently available information, the total reserves for asbestos-related claims will be sufficient to encompass all of the Company's current and estimable potential future asbestos liabilities. These reserves, which are included within Other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, involve significant management judgment and represent the Company's current best estimate of its liability for these claims.

The amount reserved for asbestos-related claims by its nature is subject to many uncertainties that may change over time, including (i) the ultimate number of claims filed; (ii) whether closed, dismissed or dormant claims are reinstituted, reinstated or revived; (iii) the amounts required to resolve both currently known and future unknown claims; (iv) the amount of insurance, if any, available to cover such claims; (v) the unpredictable aspects of the tort system, including a changing trial docket and the jurisdictions in which trials are scheduled; (vi) the outcome of any trials, including potential judgments or jury verdicts; (vii) the lack of specific information in many cases concerning exposure for which the Company is allegedly responsible, and the claimants' alleged diseases resulting from such exposure; and (viii) potential changes in applicable federal and/or state tort liability law. All of these factors may have a material effect upon future asbestos-related liability estimates. While the ultimate outcome of the Company's asbestos litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that any financial exposure resulting from its asbestos-related claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

*Environmental Matters*

In management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of the Company's environmental contingencies will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity; however, any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental contingencies will occur over an extended period of time.

As remediation at certain environmental sites progresses, PPG continues to refine its assumptions underlying the estimates of the expected future costs of its remediation programs. PPG's ongoing evaluation may result in additional charges against income to adjust the reserves for these sites. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, certain charges have been recorded based on updated estimates to increase existing reserves for these sites. Certain other charges related to environmental remediation actions are recorded to expense as incurred.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PPG had reserves for environmental contingencies associated with PPG's former chromium manufacturing plant in Jersey City, New Jersey ("New Jersey Chrome"), glass and chemical manufacturing sites, and for other environmental contingencies, including current manufacturing locations and National Priority List sites. These reserves are reported as Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Pretax charges against income for environmental remediation costs are included in Other charges/(income), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The pretax charges and cash outlays related to such environmental remediation in 2025, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *($ in millions)* | ***2025*** | ***2024*** | ***2023*** |
| New Jersey Chrome | $9 | $16 | $7 |
| Glass and chemical | 7 | 5 | 5 |
| Other | 2 | 9 | 23 |
| Total pretax environmental charges | $18 | $30 | $35 |
| *Cash outlays for environmental spending* | *$24* | *$28* | *$31* |

---

In 2025, the Company recognized pretax environmental remediation charges of $16 million related to certain legacy PPG manufacturing sites. These legacy environmental remediation charges primarily relate to an increase in the expected cost of surrounding site remediation at the New Jersey Chrome site and remedial actions at a legacy glass manufacturing site.

The Company continues to analyze, assess and remediate the environmental issues associated with New Jersey Chrome as further discussed below. Excluding the charges related to New Jersey Chrome, pretax charges against income for environmental remediation have ranged between approximately $5 million and $40 million per year for the past 10 years.

Management expects cash outlays for environmental remediation costs to range from $20 million to $60 million annually from 2026 through 2030.

Actual future cash outlays may vary from expected future cash outlays and actual future costs may vary from accrued estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved in estimating future environmental remediation costs, including possible technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other factors. Specifically, the level of expected future remediation costs and cash outlays is highly dependent upon activity related to New Jersey Chrome as discussed below.

*Remediation: New Jersey Chrome*

In June 2009, PPG entered into a settlement agreement with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") and Jersey City, New Jersey (which had asserted claims against PPG for lost tax revenue) which was in the form of a Partial Consent Judgment (the "Consent"). Under the Consent, PPG accepted sole responsibility for the remediation activities at its former chromium manufacturing location in Jersey City and a number of additional surrounding sites. Remediation of the New Jersey Chrome sites requires PPG to remediate soil and groundwater contaminated by hexavalent chromium, as well as perform certain other environmental remediation activities. The most significant assumptions underlying the estimate of remediation costs for all New Jersey Chrome sites relate to the extent and concentration of chromium in the soil.

PPG regularly evaluates the assessments of costs incurred to date versus current progress and the potential cost impacts of the most recent information, including the extent of impacted soils and groundwater, engineering, administrative and other associated costs. Based on these assessments, the reserve is adjusted accordingly. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PPG's reserve for remediation of all New Jersey Chrome sites was $56 million and $58 million, respectively. The major cost components of this liability are related to excavation of impacted soil, as well as groundwater remediation. These components each account for approximately 65% and 10% of the amount accrued at December 31, 2025, respectively.

There are multiple, future events yet to occur, including further remedy selection and design, remedy implementation and execution and applicable governmental agency or community organization approvals. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding the timing of these future events for the New Jersey Chrome sites. Further resolution of these events is expected to occur over the next several years. As these events occur and to the extent that the cost estimates of the environmental remediation remedies change, the existing reserve for this environmental remediation matter will continue to be adjusted.

*Remediation: Glass, Chemicals and Other Sites*

Among other sites at which PPG is managing environmental liabilities, remedial actions are occurring at a chemical manufacturing site in Barberton, Ohio where PPG has completed a Facility Investigation and Corrective Measure Study

2025 PPG ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 10-K 65

------

under the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program. PPG has also been addressing the impacts from a legacy plate glass manufacturing site in Kokomo, Indiana under the Voluntary Remediation Program of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and a site associated with a legacy plate glass manufacturing site near Ford City, Pennsylvania under the Pennsylvania Land Recycling Program under the oversight of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. PPG is currently performing additional investigation and remedial activities at these locations.

With respect to certain other waste sites, the financial condition of other potentially responsible parties also contributes to the uncertainty of estimating PPG's final costs. Although contributors of waste to sites involving other potentially responsible parties may face governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability, in general, final allocations of costs are made based on the relative contributions of wastes to such sites. PPG is generally not a major contributor to such sites.

*Remediation: Reasonably Possible Matters*

In addition to the amounts currently reserved for environmental remediation, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated to be as much as $100 million to $200 million. Such unreserved losses are reasonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of occurrence. These reasonably possible unreserved losses relate to environmental matters at a number of sites, none of which are individually significant. The loss contingencies related to these sites include significant unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination at these sites and the methods that may have to be employed to remediate them.

The impact of evolving programs, such as natural resource damage claims, industrial site re-use initiatives and domestic and international remediation programs, also adds to the present uncertainties with regard to the ultimate resolution of this unreserved exposure to future loss. The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments.

*Stock Options* 

PPG has outstanding stock option awards that have been granted under the PPG Amended Omnibus Plan. Under the PPG Amended Omnibus Plan, certain employees of the Company have been granted options to purchase shares of common stock at prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the options were granted. The options are generally exercisable 36 months after being granted and have a maximum term of 10 years. Upon exercise of a stock option, shares of Company stock are issued from treasury stock.

The fair value of stock options issued to employees is measured on the date of grant and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. PPG estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of the grant and using a maturity equal to the expected life of the option. The expected term assumption is estimated based on the weighted average term of historical stock option grants. The expected dividend yield and volatility are based on historical stock prices and dividend amounts over past time periods equal in length to the expected life of the options. PPG applies an estimated forfeiture rate that is calculated based on historical activity.

*Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")*

Long-term incentive value is delivered to selected key management employees by granting RSUs, which have either time or performance-based vesting features. The fair value of an RSU is equal to the market value of a share of PPG common stock on the date of grant. Time-based RSUs generally vest over the three-year period following the date of grant, unless forfeited, and will be paid out in the form of stock, cash or a combination of both at the Company's discretion at the end of the vesting period. Performance-based RSUs vest based on achieving specific annual performance targets for earnings per share growth and cash flow return on capital over the three calendar year-end periods following the date of grant. Unless forfeited, the performance-based RSUs will be paid out in the form of stock at the end of the three-year performance period if PPG meets the performance targets.

The amount paid upon vesting of performance-based RSUs may range from 0% to 200% of the original grant, based upon the level of earnings per share growth achieved and frequency with which the annual cash flow return on capital performance target is met over the three calendar year periods comprising the vesting period. Performance against the earnings per share growth and the cash flow return on capital goal is calculated annually, and the annual payout for each goal will be weighted equally over the three-year period.

*Contingent Share Grants* 

The Company also provides grants of contingent shares to selected key executives that may be earned based on PPG's total shareholder return ("TSR") over the three-year period following the date of grant. Contingent share grants (referred to as "TSR awards") are made annually and are paid out at the end of each three-year period based on the Company's performance. Performance is measured by determining the percentile rank of the total shareholder return of PPG common stock in relation to the total shareholder return of the S&P 500 for the three-year period following the date of grant. This comparison group represents the entire S&P 500 Index as it existed at the beginning of the performance period, excluding any companies that have been removed from the index because they ceased to be publicly traded. The payout is based on performance achieved during the three-year period calculated in accordance with the scale set forth in the plan agreement and may range from 0% to 200% of the initial grant. A payout of 100% is earned if the target performance is achieved. Contingent share awards earn dividend equivalents for the award period, which will be paid to participants or credited to the participants' deferred compensation plan accounts with the award payout at the end of the period based on the actual number of contingent shares earned. Any payments made at the end of the award period may be in the form of stock, cash or a combination of both. The TSR awards are classified as liability awards, and compensation expense is recognized over the three-year award period based on the fair value of the awards (giving consideration to the Company's percentile rank of total shareholder return) remeasured in each reporting period until settlement of the awards.

During 2025, the Company granted TSR awards representing 76,925 contingent shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $114.39. During 2024, the Company granted TSR awards representing 71,426 contingent shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $137.94.

The performance period for the TSR shares granted in 2023 ended on December 31, 2025, and PPG's total shareholder return was measured against that of the S&P 500 over the three-year period, resulting in no payout. As of December 31, 2025, there were 148,351 contingent shares outstanding under TSR awards and total unrecognized compensation cost related to those awards is $0.

**20. Revenue Recognition** 

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer and in amounts that the Company expects to collect. The timing of revenue recognition takes into consideration the various shipping terms applicable to the Company's sales. For most transactions, control passes in accordance with agreed upon delivery terms.

The Company delivers products to company-owned stores, home centers and other regional or national consumer retail outlets, paint dealers, concessionaires and independent distributors, company-owned distribution networks, and directly to manufacturing companies and retail customers. Each product delivered to a third party customer is considered to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. The Company is entitled to collection of the sales price under normal credit terms in the regions in which it operates. Accounts receivable are recognized when there is an unconditional right to consideration. Payment terms vary from customer to customer, depending on creditworthiness, prior payment history and other considerations.

The Company also provides services by applying coatings to customers' manufactured parts and assembled products and by providing technical support to certain customers. Performance obligations are satisfied over time as critical milestones are met and as services are provided. PPG is entitled to payment as the services are rendered. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, service revenue constituted less than 5% of total revenue.

*Allowance for Doubtful Accounts*

All trade receivables are reported on the consolidated balance sheet at the outstanding principal amount adjusted for any allowance for doubtful accounts and any charge-offs. PPG provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. This allowance is estimated based on historical collection experience, current regional economic and market conditions, the aging of accounts receivable, assessments of current creditworthiness of customers and forward-looking information. The use of forward-looking information is based on certain macroeconomic and microeconomic indicators including, but not limited to, regional business environment risk, political risk, and commercial and financing risks.

PPG reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis to ensure the estimate reflects regional risk trends as well as current and future global operating conditions.

The following table summarizes allowance for doubtful accounts activity for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

**21. Reportable Business Segment Information** 

PPG is a multinational manufacturer with 10 operating segments (which the Company refers to as "strategic business units") that are organized based on the Company's major products lines. The operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based on their similar economic characteristics, including similar nature of products, production processes, end-use markets and methods of distribution.

The Global Architectural Coatings reportable business segment is comprised of the architectural coatings EMEA and architectural coatings Latin America and Asia Pacific operating segments. This reportable business segment primarily supplies paints, wood stains, adhesives, sealants and purchased sundries.

The Performance Coatings reportable business segment is comprised of the automotive refinish coatings, aerospace coatings, protective and marine coatings and traffic solutions operating segments. This reportable business segment primarily supplies a variety of coatings, solvents, adhesives, sealants and finishes, along with pavement marking products, transparencies and paint films.

The Industrial Coatings reportable business segment is comprised of the automotive OEM coatings, industrial coatings, packaging coatings, and the specialty products operating segments. This reportable business segment primarily supplies a variety of protective and decorative coatings and finishes along with adhesives, sealants, metal pretreatment products, optical monomers and coatings, low-friction coatings, paint films and other specialty products.

Production facilities and sales for PPG's reportable business segments are global and each segment continues to pursue opportunities to further develop their global reach. Each of the reportable business segments in which PPG is engaged is highly competitive. The diversification of product lines and the worldwide sales tend to minimize the impact on PPG's business of changes in demand in a particular industry or in a particular geographic area.

PPG's chief operating decision maker is its Executive Committee, which is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. The Executive Committee regularly reviews the discrete financial information of the 10 operating segments to assess performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources by comparing actual results versus forecasted and historical financial information and discussing observations with the leadership team responsible for managing the operations of each operating segment. The primary measure of profit or loss considered by the Executive Committee when evaluating operating segment performance is segment income, which is income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes and noncontrolling interests and excludes certain charges which are considered to be unusual or non-recurring. The Company also evaluates performance of operating segments based on working capital management and selling price and sales volume performance.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"). Corporate unallocated costs include the costs of corporate staff functions not directly associated with the operating segments, certain legal matters, net of related insurance recoveries, the cost of certain insurance and stock-based compensation programs and certain other unusual or non-recurring items. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost related to current employees of each reportable business segment is allocated to that reportable business segment and the remaining portion of net periodic pension expense is included in Corporate unallocated costs.

Product movement between PPG's reportable business segments is limited, is accounted for as an inventory transfer, and is recorded at cost plus a mark-up, the impact of which is not significant to the net sales or segment income of the reportable business segments.

**General**

The 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes initially were issued in the aggregate principal amounts of €600,000,000, €700,000,000 and €900,000,000, respectively. The Company is permitted to issue additional Notes of each series without the consent of the holders of that series, but the Company will not issue such additional Notes unless they are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the relevant series of Notes or are issued under a different CUSIP number. As of February 19, 2026, no such additional Notes have been issued.

The Notes are the Company's direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally and ratably with all of the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company's current and future secured indebtedness.

The maturity dates of the 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes are March 13, 2027, June 1, 2029 and March 4, 2032, respectively.

The Notes of each series are in the form of one or more global notes that the Company has deposited with or on behalf of a common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") and Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") and are registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary. The Company has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch to act as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent in connection with the Notes, as well as to serve as the common depositary for the Notes. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch is an affiliate of the Trustee. The term "paying agent" includes The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch and any successors appointed from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The Company has designated as an agency where the Notes may be presented for payment, exchange or registration of transfer, in each case as provided in the Indenture, the office of the paying agent at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL.

The Notes of each series were issued in euro and only in minimum denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof.

------

The Notes are not redeemable at the option of the holder prior to maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund.

**Interest and Principal** 

The 2027 Notes bear interest from March 13, 2015 at a fixed interest rate of 1.400% per annum. The 2029 Notes bear interest from May 25, 2022 at a fixed interest rate of 2.750% per annum. The 2032 Notes bear interest from March 4, 2025 at a fixed interest rate of 3.250% per annum. Interest is paid annually on March 13 for the 2027 Notes, June 1 for the 2029 Notes and March 4 for the 2032 Notes, including on the maturity date of each series of Notes (each an "interest payment date"). The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on (i) for the 2027 Notes, the February 26 (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the related interest payment date, (ii) for the 2029 Notes, the May 15 (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the related interest payment date, and (iii) for the 2032 Notes, the clearing system business day (for this purpose a day on which Clearstream and Euroclear are open for business) immediately preceding the related interest payment date. Interest on each series of Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the applicable series of Notes, to but excluding the next date on which interest is paid or duly provided for. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

The Company will pay the principal of and interest on each note to the registered holder in euro in immediately available funds; *provided* that, (i) for the 2027 Notes, if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company's control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted or that adopt the single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, (other than Greece) or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community; and (ii) for the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes, if the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company's control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then-member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars (i) for the 2027 Notes, on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for euro, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and (ii) for the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes, at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the Wall Street Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in the Company's sole discretion on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for euro. Any payment in respect of the Notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under any series of the Notes or the Indenture. So long as the Notes of a particular series are in book-entry form, the Company will make payments of principal and interest with respect to that series of Notes through the London paying agent described below.

**Optional Redemption** 

Prior to December 13, 2026, the 2027 Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on an

------

annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. On or after December 13, 2026, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

Prior to April 1, 2029, the 2029 Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate, plus 30 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. On or after April 1, 2029, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

Prior to December 4, 2031, the 2032 Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate, plus 20 basis points, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. On or after December 4, 2031, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2032 Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

The redemption price for the Notes will include, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed to the redemption date. The redemption price paid for the Notes upon any such redemption will be paid in euro.

"Comparable Government Bond Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for each series of Notes, the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the notes to be redeemed, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.

"Comparable Government Bond" means, with respect to each series of Notes, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by us, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes to be redeemed, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each series of Notes to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; *provided, however*, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest

------

payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the applicable redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. If less than all of any series of Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes of the series to be redeemed will be selected by the trustee by such method the trustee deems to be fair and appropriate in accordance with applicable depositary procedures.

**Redemption for Tax Reasons**

If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, the Company will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described below under the heading "- Payment of Additional Amounts" with respect to the Notes, then the Company may at any time at the Company's option redeem, in whole, but not in part, the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including any additional amounts) on those Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

**Payment of Additional Amounts** 

The Company will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Notes of each series such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net amount of the principal of and interest on the Notes received by a beneficial owner who is not a United States person (as defined below), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount that would have been received by such beneficial owner if such tax had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed by reason of the holder (or the beneficial owner for whose benefit such holder holds such Note), or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder or beneficial owner if the holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. being or having been engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. having a current or former connection with the United States (other than a connection arising solely as a result of the ownership of the notes, the receipt of any payment or the enforcement of any rights hereunder), including being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. being or having been a personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for United States income tax purposes or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d. being or having been a "10-percent shareholder" of the Company as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any successor provision;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e. with respect to the 2029 Notes and 2032 Notes, being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, as described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary, partnership or limited liability company, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner with respect to the holder, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership or limited liability company would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States or any taxing authority therein or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a paying agent from the payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. with respect to the 2027 Notes and 2032 Notes, to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that

becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth, capital gains or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. with respect to the 2027 Notes, to any withholding or deduction that is imposed on a payment to an individual and that is required to be made pursuant to any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings, or to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any such Directive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on any note, if the holder or beneficial owner would have been able to avoid such withholding by presenting the Note (where presentation is required) to another available paying agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. with respect to the 2027 Notes, to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the beneficial owner being a bank (i) purchasing the Notes in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) that is neither (A) buying the Notes for investment purposes only nor (B) buying the Notes for resale to a third-party that either is not a bank or holding the Notes for investment purposes only;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Code; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. in the case of any combination (i) for the 2027 Notes, of items (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10) and (11); (ii) for the 2029 Notes, of items, (1), (2), (3), (4), (6), (8), (9) and (11); and (iii) for the 2032 Notes, of items, (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (8), (9) and (11).

The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under this heading, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision with respect to the Notes.

As used under this heading and under the heading "-Redemption for Tax Reasons," the term "United States" means the United States of America, the states of the United States, the District of Columbia, and any political subdivision thereof, and the term "United States person" means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source.

**Book-Entry and Settlement** 

The Company has obtained the information under this heading "- Book-Entry and Settlement" concerning Clearstream and Euroclear and their book-entry systems and procedures from sources that the Company believes to be reliable. The Company takes no responsibility for an accurate portrayal of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems under this heading "- Book-Entry and Settlement" reflects the Company's understanding of the rules and procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear as they are currently in effect. Those clearing systems could change their rules and procedures at any time.

The Notes of each series are represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note has been deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary, and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear. Each such global security was deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon, as common depositary (the "Common Depositary") and registered in the name of the Common Depositary or its nominee.

Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees. A holder may hold its interests in the global notes in Europe through Clearstream or Euroclear, either as a participant in such systems or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in the

------

global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream's or Euroclear's names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the Notes and all transfers relating to the Notes are reflected in the book-entry records of Clearstream and Euroclear. The address of Clearstream is 42 Avenue JF Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, Luxembourg, and the address of Euroclear is 1 Boulevard Roi Albert II, B-1210 Brussels, Belgium.

Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the Notes will take place through Clearstream and Euroclear participants and will settle in same-day funds. Owners of book-entry interests in the Notes will receive payments relating to their Notes in euro, except as described above.

Clearstream and Euroclear have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow the Notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market.

The policies of Clearstream and Euroclear will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to the investor's interest in the Notes held by them. The Company has no responsibility for any aspect of the records kept by Clearstream or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. The Company also does not supervise these systems in any way.

Clearstream and Euroclear and their participants perform these clearance and settlement functions under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. They are not obligated to perform or continue to perform these procedures and may modify them or discontinue them at any time.

Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the Notes are not entitled to have the Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the Notes under the Indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by the Company or the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Note must rely on the procedures of the depositary and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of Notes.

**Certificated Notes** 

If the depositary for any of the Notes represented by a registered global note is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the registered global note that had been held by the depositary. Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global note will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the Trustee or other relevant agent of the Trustee. It is expected that the depositary's instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global note that had been held by the depositary. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Notes shall no longer be represented by a global note and will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for such global note pursuant to the procedure described above.

**Trustee, Paying Agents and Security Registrar** 

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is the trustee under the Indenture governing the Notes. The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, is the paying agent for the notes in London.

------

**Base Indenture Provisions**

***Governing Law***

***Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets***

The Company may not merge or consolidate with any other entity or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, except that the Company may merge or consolidate with, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, any other entity if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company is the continuing entity or the successor entity (if other than us) is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, a State thereof or the District of Columbia and the successor entity expressly assumes payment of the principal of and interest on all the debt securities, and the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there is no default under the Indenture.

Upon such a succession, the Company will be relieved from any further obligations under the applicable indenture. For purposes of this subsection, "substantially all of the Company's assets" means, at any date, a portion of the non-current assets reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the most recent quarterly period that represents at least 66 2/3% of the total reported value of such assets.

***Events of Default***

A holder of Notes will have special rights if an Event of Default occurs and is not cured. The term "Event of Default" means any of the following with respect to a series of Notes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company does not pay interest on a series of Notes within 30 days of the due date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company does not pay the principal of or premium, if any, on a series of Notes on the applicable due date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company does not pay any sinking fund installment on a series of Notes within 30 days of the due date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company remains in breach of any other covenant or warranty in Notes of such series or in the Indenture for 90 days after the Company receives a notice of default stating that the Company is in breach, as provided in the Indenture; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

***Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs.***

If an Event of Default has occurred and continues with respect to a series of Notes, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all of Notes of the affected series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a "declaration of acceleration of maturity." Under some circumstances, a declaration of

------

acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes of that series.

The Trustee generally is not required to take any action under the Indenture at the request of any holders unless one or more of the holders has provided to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

If reasonable protection from expenses and liabilities is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the Trustee and to waive certain past defaults regarding the relevant series. The Trustee may refuse to follow those directions in some circumstances.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing regarding a series of Notes, the Trustee may use any sums that it holds under the Indenture for its own reasonable compensation and expenses incurred prior to paying the holders of Notes of that series.

Before any holder of any series of Notes may institute an action for any remedy, except payment on such holder's debt security when due, the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes of that series outstanding must request the Trustee to take action. Holders must also offer and give the Trustee satisfactory security and indemnity against liabilities incurred by the Trustee for taking such action.

"Street Name" and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to give notice or direction to or make a request of the Trustee and to make or cancel a declaration of acceleration.

The Company will furnish every year to the Trustee a written statement of certain of the Company's officers certifying that, to their knowledge, the Company is in compliance with the Indenture and the Notes, or else specifying any default.

No Event of Default regarding one series of Notes is necessarily an Event of Default regarding any other series of Notes.

**Satisfaction and Discharge**

The Indenture will be satisfied and discharged if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company delivers to the Trustee all debt securities then outstanding under the Indenture, including any Notes then outstanding, for cancellation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all debt securities under the Indenture not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including any Notes then outstanding, have become due and payable, are to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year and the Company deposits an amount sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of maturity, redemption or deposit (in the case of debt securities that have become due and payable), as the case may be, provided that in any case the Company has paid all other sums payable under the Indenture.

**Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance** 

The Indenture provides that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company may elect either:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to any Notes of such series (except for the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Notes, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, to maintain an office or agency in respect of the Notes and to hold moneys for payment in trust) ("defeasance"); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• to be released from its obligations with respect to applicable restrictions under the Base Indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Events of Default described in the third, fourth and sixth bullets under "- Events of Default" above will not be Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series of Notes ("covenant defeasance"), upon the deposit with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), in trust for such purpose, of money or certain U.S. government obligations which through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes, on the scheduled due dates.

In the case of defeasance, the holders of such Notes are entitled to receive payments in respect of such Notes solely from such trust. Such a trust may only be established if, among other things, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the holders of the Notes affected thereby will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance described above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An election under this Section 5.1 shall become null and void upon the payment or commencement of payment of benefits under Section 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5.

5.2 <u>Withdrawals at or after a Participant's Retirement Date</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of a Participant's termination of employment on or after the date of such Participant's Retirement Age, such Participant's Account shall be paid in accordance with this Section 5.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Plan Year, a Participant may elect separate payment schedules that shall apply to each of the following: (1) all deferred Salary amounts for that Plan Year and the earnings thereon, (2) all deferred Payments pursuant to the LTIP or Executive Officers' LTIP for that Plan Year and the earnings thereon, (3) all deferred Omnibus Plan Stock Awards for that Plan Year and the earnings thereon, (4) all Savings Plan Restoration Contributions for that Plan Year and the earnings thereon and (4) all DCRP Restoration Contributions for that Plan Year and the earnings thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2(d), a Participant may delay the first payment for a period up to five years following the Participant's Retirement Date; provided, however, that, in all cases, payments must begin no later than the year in which the Participant's 75<sup>th</sup> birthday occurs for Participants who retire prior to their 75<sup>th</sup> birthday or no later than the Participant's Retirement Date for Participants who retire on or after their 75<sup>th</sup> birthday.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participants may designate the first day of the quarter for the commencement of the payment schedule on an annual or quarterly basis.

Each installment payment shall be calculated by dividing the Participant's then current Account balance by the remaining number of installments. (For example, if ten annual installments are to be paid, the first installment shall equal 1/10 of Account balance at time of payment, the second installment shall equal 1/9 of Account balance at time of payment and the third installment shall equal 1/8 of Account balance at time of payment, etc.) If the installment payment is to be in the form of PPG Stock, such distribution shall be made in whole shares and cash equal to any fractional share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In the event a Participant fails to file a payment schedule election with the Administrator at the time described in Section 5.2(b), the Participant's Account shall be paid in one lump sum on the later of (1) the first day of the first quarter of a Plan Year that is six months and ten days following such Retirement Date or (2) January 1 of the year following such Retirement Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, no amount shall be payable under this Section 5.2 earlier than (1) in the case of a Participant who is a Key Employee, the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Key Employee's Separation from Service with the Corporation (as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder), and (2) in the case of a Participant who is a non-Key Employee, the date of such non-Key Employee's Separation from Service with the Corporation. In the event the provisions of this Section 5.2 would otherwise require that a payment be made to a Participant prior to the date specified in clause (1) or (2), as applicable, such payment shall be postponed and made on the date specified in clause (1) or (2), as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if, at the time the Participant's payments commence under this Section 5.2, the Participant's

- Page 14 -

Account balance is $2,000 or less, such Participant's Account shall be paid in a lump sum on such date and the Participant's form of payment election shall be disregarded, null and void.

5.3 <u>Withdrawals Following Termination</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of a Participant's termination of employment prior to the Participant's Retirement Age, such Participant's Account shall be paid in a lump sum on the date that is the later of (1) the first day of the first quarter of a Plan Year that is six months and ten days following such termination of employment or (2) January 1 of the year following such termination of employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.3, no amount shall be payable under this Section 5.3 earlier than (1) in the case of a Participant who is a Key Employee, the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Key Employee's Separation from Service with the Corporation (as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code), and (2) in the case of a Participant who is a non-Key Employee, the date of such non-Key Employee's Separation from Service with the Corporation. In the event the provisions of this Section 5.3 would otherwise require that a payment be made to a Participant prior to the date specified in clause (1) or (2), as applicable, such payment shall be postponed and made on the date specified in clause (1) or (2), as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the portion of a Participant's Account that is attributable to DCRP Restoration Contributions (including any earnings and losses thereon) shall be paid to a Participant pursuant to this Section 5.3 only if, at the time of such Participant's termination of employment, such Participant is a Vested Participant as that term is defined under the Savings Plan. The Account of a Participant who is not a Vested Participant shall be forfeited at the same time as such Participant's account under the Savings Plan is forfeited. If such Participant is later rehired, such Participant's Account shall be restored to the same extent that such Participant's account under the Savings Plan is restored.

5.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withdrawals in the event of Disability</u>. In the event a Participant's Disability, such Participant's Account shall be paid in a lump sum on the date that is the later of (a) the first day of the first quarter of a Plan Year that is six months and ten days following the date on which such Participant is determined to be Disabled or (b) January 1 of the year following the year in which such Participant is determined to be Disabled.

5.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withdrawals Following a Participant's Death</u>. In the event of a Participant's death, the Participant's entire Account shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Participant's death.

5.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withdrawals upon finding of Unforeseeable Emergency</u>. Upon a finding that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the acceleration of a withdrawal under the Plan in an amount reasonably necessary to alleviate the financial hardship giving rise to such Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount paid to a Participant pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Emergency plus amounts reasonably necessary to pay any federal, state, local or foreign taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount attributable to a Participant's DCRP Restoration Contributions (including investment credits pursuant to Section 4.2(b)) shall be available for withdrawal pursuant to this Section 5.6.

5.7 <u>Methods of Payment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any payment from the PPG Stock Account shall be converted into and paid in the form of whole shares of PPG Stock. Any payments from the PPG Stock Account with respect to fractional shares of PPG Stock shall be paid in cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Payments from the Investment Accounts shall be made in cash. The value shall be determined using the value of the closing price of the appropriate Investment Account Shares on the last business day of the month preceding the month in which the distribution is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All payments to Participants, or their Beneficiaries, shall be made on the first business day of a calendar quarter or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

5.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment Delays</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any payment to a Participant may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be delayed where (a) the Company reasonably anticipates that the Company's deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the payment is made either during the Participant's first taxable year in which the Company reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment shall not be barred by application of Section 162(m) of the Code or during the period beginning with the date of the Participant's Separation from Service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and ending on the later of the last day of the taxable year of the Company in which the Participant Separates from Service or the 15<sup>th</sup> day of the third month following the Participant's Separation from Service and provided, further, that all such payments that could be delayed in accordance with this clause (a) are also so delayed, or (b) the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment shall violate federal securities laws or other applicable law (in which case, such payment shall be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment shall not cause such violation) or (3) the making of the payment on the date otherwise provided

- Page 16 -

------

would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, provided that payment is made during the first taxable year of the Participant in which the making of the payment would not have such effect.

5.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Subsequent Elections</u>. A Participant who has filed a payment election in accordance with Section 5.2 or who is otherwise eligible for a payment in accordance with Section 5.3 may, at any time, file a subsequent election that specifies another form or time of payout, provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any subsequent election filed less than 12 months prior to the date on which payment of the Participant's Account would otherwise have commenced or been made shall be disregarded, null and void;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The date on which payment of the Participant's Account shall be made or commence under such subsequent election must be (i) at least five years later than the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made under such Participant's original election and (ii) no later than ten years following such Participant's Retirement Date; provided, however, that in all cases, payments must begin no later than the year in which the Participant's 75<sup>th</sup> birthday occurs for Participants who retire prior to their 75<sup>th</sup> birthday or no later than the Participant's Retirement Date for Participant's who retire on or after their 75<sup>th</sup> birthday;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The form and time of payment elected under such subsequent election may not cause any payment to be paid sooner than such payment would otherwise have been paid under such Participant's original election; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The form of payment must be one permitted under Section 5.2(c).

For purposes of this Section 5.9, an installment form of payment shall be treated as one payment. Accordingly, a Participant may elect to change the Participant's payment election from an installment form to a lump sum provided that such election is filed at least 12 months prior to the date on which such installment payments are scheduled to commence and provided that the lump sum is paid no earlier than the fifth anniversary of the date on which such installments were scheduled to commence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each time a Participant submits a new Beneficiary designation form to the Administrator, such designation shall cancel all prior designations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the case of a Participant who does not have a valid Beneficiary designation on file at the time of the Participant's death, or in the case the designated Beneficiary predeceases the Participant, the entire balance in the Participant's Account shall be paid as soon as possible to the Participant's estate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Beneficiary designation with respect to a Participant in effect under the Prior Plan, shall remain in effect under this Plan, until a new Beneficiary designation form is filed in accordance with this Section 6.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally and physically competent and of age. If the Administrator determines that such person is mentally or physically incompetent or is a minor, payment shall be made to the legally appointed guardian, conservator or other person who has been appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to care for the estate of such person, provided that proper proof of such appointment is furnished in a form and manner suitable to the Administrator. Any payment made under this Section 7.2(a) shall be a complete discharge of any liability therefore under the Plan. The Administrator shall not be required to see to the proper application of any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except as provided in Section 7.2(c), all claims for benefits under the Plan shall be submitted to, and within 90 days thereafter decided by, in writing, the person designated by the Company (the "Claims Reviewer") acting directly or through such employees of the Company as the Claims Reviewer shall designate. If the Claims Reviewer determines that an extension of time for processing the claim is required, the Claims Reviewer may extend the date by which a decision is required to 180 days after the claim is submitted provided that the Claims Reviewer provides written notice of the extension to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period, including the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Claims Reviewer expects to render a decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All claims for benefits under the Plan that are based on the Participant's Disability (each a "Disability Claim") shall be submitted to, and within 45 days thereafter decided in writing by, the Claims Reviewer acting directly or through such employees of the Company as the Claims Reviewer shall designate. If the Claims Reviewer determines that an extension of time for processing the Disability Claim is required, the Claims Reviewer may extend the date by which a decision is required to 75 days after the Disability Claim is submitted, provided that the Claims Reviewer provides written notice of the extension to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 45-day period, including the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Claims Reviewer expects to render a decision. If the Claims Reviewer determines that, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision on a Disability Claim cannot be rendered within 75 days after the Disability Claim is submitted, the Claims Reviewer may extend the date by which a decision is required to 105 days after the Disability Claim is filed if the Claims Reviewer notifies the claimant, prior to expiration of the 75-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision. In the case of any extension of the 45-day or 75-day review period, the notice of extension shall specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent

- Page 20 -

a decision on the Disability Claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and the claimant shall be afforded at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Written notice of the decision on each claim (including any Disability Claim) shall be furnished reasonably promptly to the claimant. If the claim is wholly or partially denied, such written notice shall set forth (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary, (4) a description of the Plan's review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, as amended, following the denial of a claim on review, (5) in the case of a denial of a Disability Claim, if an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other criterion was relied on in making the adverse determination, either the specific rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion or a statement that such a rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied on in denying the claim and that a copy of such rule, guideline, protocol or other criterion shall be provided free of charge to the claimant upon request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided in Section 7.2(f), a claimant may request a review by the Claims Reviewer of a decision denying a claim in writing within 60 days following receipt of the denial. All such reviews shall be decided in writing by the Claims Reviewer within 60 days after receipt of the request for review. If the Claims Reviewer determines that an extension of time for processing the review is required, the Claims Reviewer may extend the date by which a decision is required to 120 days after the request for review is submitted provided that the Claims Reviewer provides written notice of the extension to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 60-day period, including the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Claims Reviewer expects to render a decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A claimant may request a review by the person designated by the Company as responsible for reviews of denied Disability Claims, who shall be neither the Claims Reviewer nor a person subordinate to the Claims Reviewer (the "Disability Appeals Reviewer") of a decision denying a Disability Claim in writing within 180 days following receipt of the denial. All such reviews shall be decided in writing by the Disability Appeals Reviewer within 45 days after receipt of the request for review. If the Disability Appeals Reviewer determines that an extension of time for processing the review is required, the Disability Appeals Reviewer may extend the date by which a decision is required to 90 days after the request for review is submitted provided that the Disability Appeals Reviewer provides written notice of the extension to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial 45-day period, including the special

- Page 21 -

------

circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Disability Appeals Reviewer expects to render a decision. If the Disability Appeals Reviewer cannot reach a decision about a claimant's request for review because the claimant has not submitted information requested by the Disability Appeals Reviewer, the 45-day period (or 45-day extension if applicable) shall be tolled until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. The Disability Appeals Reviewer may delegate its duty to review denied Disability Claims under the Plan provided that the person or entity to whom such duty is delegated shall not be the Claims Reviewer or a subordinate of the Claims Reviewer. Any review of a denied Disability Claim shall be without deference to the Claims Reviewer's denial of the Disability Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with a review of a denied claim for benefits (including a Disability Claim), a claimant shall (1) have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits and (2) be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits. The review of a denied claim shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant related to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial review of the claim. If a claim is denied upon review, the written notice of the denial shall specify (1) the specific reasons for the denial, (2) reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based and (3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, on request and free of charge reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) If the denial of a Disability Claim upon review is based in whole or in part on a medical judgment the Disability Appeals Reviewer or its delegate shall consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment. Such professional shall be an individual who is neither an individual who was consulted in connection with the initial denial of the Disability Claim nor the subordinate of any such individual. The Disability Appeals Reviewer or its delegate shall provide for the identification of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a denied Disability Claim without regard as to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination. If an internal rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied on in denying a Disability Claim upon review, the notice denying such claim upon review shall set forth either the specific rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol or other criterion was relied on in denying the claim and that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion shall be provided free of charge to the claimant upon request. Any notice denying a Disability Claim upon review shall contain the following statement: "You and your

- Page 22 -

plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation. One way to find out what may be available is to contact your local U.S. Department of Labor Office and your State insurance regulatory agency."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The claimant may have an authorized representative to act on the claimant's behalf in pursuing a benefit claim or appeal of the denial of the benefit. In order for a representative to be recognized as acting on behalf of the claimant, the claimant must provide in writing to the Administrator the name, address and phone number of the authorized representative and a statement that the representative is authorized to act in the claimant's behalf concerning the claim for benefits and, if applicable, an appeal of the denial of the claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At any time during the period beginning 30 days preceding and ending 12 months following a change in control event (as that term is defined in

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD

The purpose of this Agreement is to evidence the grant by the Company to the Optionee of an Option pursuant to the PPG Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"). The Notice of Grant of Nonqualified Stock Option Award to which these Terms and Conditions are attached (the "Notice") and these Terms and Conditions are collectively referred to as the "Agreement".

1. <u>Incorporation by Reference; No Right to Continued Employment.</u> The capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in the Notice and these Terms and Conditions shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan, the text of which is set forth in the Prospectus dated August 1, 2016, concerning the Plan. The Plan and the Notice are incorporated herein by reference. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall give the Optionee the right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect the right of any such employer to terminate the Optionee's employment.

2. <u>Grant</u>. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right and option to purchase the number of shares of the Common Stock of the Company set forth in the Notice, on the terms and conditions herein set forth or incorporated by reference.

3. <u>Exercise Price</u>. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.07 of the Plan, the Exercise Price of the shares subject to the Option is set forth in the Notice, which is the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

4. <u>Option Term</u>. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan or this Agreement, the Option may be exercised as to any or all shares subject to the Option, at any time or from time-to-time, during the period beginning on the Vesting Date (as defined in the Notice) and ending on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Notice), subject to earlier termination as provided herein.

5. <u>Exercise of Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Option may be exercised by the Optionee giving written notice (in such form as may be approved by the Committee) to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, no Option exercise or issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective if (i) the shares reserved under the Plan are not subject to an effective registration statement at the time of such exercise or issuance, or otherwise eligible for an exemption from registration, or (ii) the Company determines in good faith that such exercise or issuance would violate any applicable Company policy or any securities or other law or regulation. By accepting this Option, the Optionee agrees not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock received under this Option at a time when the applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale. Without limiting the foregoing, Optionee's sale of Shares may be subject to any closed trading windows that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company's insider trading policies (as

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

may be amended from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion) and any other applicable securities laws. The Company's insider trading policy may prohibit Optionee from buying or selling Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Exercise Price of an Option may be paid either (i) by delivery to the Company on the date of exercise (or on such later date as the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer or his or her successor may permit) of cash or a check in an amount equal to the Exercise Price, (ii) except for any portion of the Exercise Price which cannot be paid in whole shares which portion will be paid in cash, by delivery to the Company on the next business day following the date of exercise (or on such later date as the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer or his or her successor may permit) of certification of ownership of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price (such transaction hereinafter referred to as a "Stock Swap"), (iii) by such methods in accordance with such procedures as may be authorized or permitted by the Committee from time to time (e.g., a cashless exercise program) or (iv) by a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii), in the discretion of the Optionee. If the Optionee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company may withhold in shares of Common Stock in payment for the Exercise Price only if the use of such withholding method is not problematic under applicable securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Shares used by an Optionee to initiate a Stock Swap may only be shares owned in the following ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)In the Optionee's name (including Shares issued pursuant to an award to the Optionee); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)In the Optionee and the Optionee's spouse's name; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)In a street account, provided that ownership is certified by the broker as being in the Optionee or in the Optionee and spouse; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)In a revocable trust in the Optionee's name, provided that beneficial ownership is certified by the trustee as being in the Optionee or in the Optionee and spouse.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)As soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of the required notice and payment in full of the Exercise Price (as well as any applicable Tax-Related Items as defined in paragraph 6) for the shares purchased, a certificate or certificates representing the shares to be acquired by the Optionee shall be issued to the Optionee; provided that any certificate(s) for the shares purchased may be retained by the Company or its stock transfer agent or kept in a book-entry account by its stock transfer agent or may have such restrictive legends imprinted thereon prohibiting the transfer of such certificate(s) for such period as may be prescribed by the Committee. Subject to the foregoing, the Optionee

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

shall have the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares on the date the shares are delivered to the Optionee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The date of exercise shall be the date the required notice is received by the Company; provided, however, that if payment in full is not received by the Company as described herein or as otherwise permitted by the Committee; such notice shall be deemed not to have been received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)If the Optionee is located outside of the United States, the Option may be exercised in the name of the Optionee through a stockbroker or bank appointed by the Optionee. In these circumstances, the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company or his designee and the Optionee will agree upon the procedure to be followed for the exercise of the Option, as well as any other procedures concerning the shares of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Except as otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, if, on the immediately preceding business day prior to the Expiration Date, any portion of the Option is vested and exercisable, then such portion shall be automatically exercised upon the market close on such preceding business day. Such exercise shall be carried out pursuant to the procedures implemented by the Company in its sole discretion (including the method of tax withholding). Such exercise shall be carried out only if the Exercise Price Per Share of such Option is lower than the per share price of the Common Stock upon such market close. The Optionee agrees that such exercise is provided solely as a convenience to the Optionee. Because any exercise of all or any portion of the Option is solely the Optionee's responsibility, the Optionee waives and releases and agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and its affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims of any kind whatsoever relating to such exercise (or any failure thereof).

6. <u>Responsibility for Taxes</u>. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary employing the Optionee (the "Employer") take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state, and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Optionee's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Optionee or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to the Optionee ("Tax-Related Items"), the Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Optionee's responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting and exercise of the Option, the conversion of the Option into shares, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to the Option and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax-withholding event, as applicable, the Optionee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items obligation by withholding otherwise deliverable shares of Common Stock (provided, however that if the Optionee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company may withhold in shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, only if the use of such withholding method is not problematic under applicable laws). In addition, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as the Company may specify from time to time, to withhold any Tax-Related Items by one or more of the following means: (i) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee's behalf pursuant to this authorization); and /or (ii) withholding from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Optionee by the Company and/or the Employer. The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Optionee's jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Optionee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock or if not refunded, the Optionee may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Optionee may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Optionee shall be deemed, for tax purposes only, to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the exercised portion of the Option, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Option. The Optionee shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that is required to be withheld or accounted for in connection with the Option that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver to the Optionee any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Option if the Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

7. <u>Termination of Option</u>. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, the Option shall immediately expire and will no longer be exercisable at the time the Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary. The preceding sentence notwithstanding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Retirement; Job Elimination; Divestitures</u>. If the Optionee's employment with the Company terminates prior to the Expiration Date, but on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, because of retirement or job elimination, including termination of employment by the Company due to a divestiture, each

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

as determined in the Committee's sole discretion, the Option will not immediately expire, and will become exercisable in full on the Vesting Date (or, if after retirement but prior to the Vesting Date, on the Optionee's death), as if the Optionee's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and will remain exercisable through the Expiration Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Long-Term Disability; Death</u>. If the Optionee's employment with the Company terminates prior to the Expiration Date, but on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, because of long-term disability (as determined in the Committee's sole discretion) or death, the Option will not immediately expire, and will become exercisable in full upon such termination, and will remain exercisable through the Expiration Date.

For purposes of paragraph 7(a), "Qualifying Retirement" means a termination of the Optionee's employment with the Company and any Employer voluntarily by the Optionee if such termination occurs on or after the date that the sum of the Optionee's (i) age and (ii) years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole number, equals or exceeds 70. For this purpose, if the Optionee's service with the Company and its Subsidiaries previously terminated and the Optionee recommenced service with the Company or its Subsidiaries more than one year after the termination date, the period of such previous service will not count as "years of service". In addition, for a Subsidiary acquired by the Company, the Optionee's service with such Subsidiary prior to the closing of the acquisition of such Subsidiary by the Company will not count as "years of service".

8. <u>Forfeiture</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Optionee, by execution of this Agreement, agrees and acknowledges that in return for the Option granted by the Company herein; the following continuing conditions shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If at any time within (i) the term of this Option or (ii) within one (1) year after the Optionee exercises any part of this Option, whichever is latest, the Optionee engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to: (A) conduct related to the Optionee's employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against the Optionee may be sought, (B) violation of Company (or Subsidiary) Business Conduct Policies, Code of Ethics or, in each case, a similar policy, (C) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with or acting against the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including employing or recruiting any present, former or future employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (D) disclosing or misusing any confidential information or material concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (E) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then (1) this Option shall terminate effective as of the date on which the Optionee enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan, and (2) any "Option Gain" realized by the Optionee from exercising all or any portion of this Option

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

within one (1) year prior to the Optionee entering into such activity shall be paid by the Optionee to the Company. "Option Gain" shall mean the gain represented by the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price, multiplied by the number of shares purchased, without regard to any subsequent market price decrease or increase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)By accepting this Agreement, the Optionee consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes the Optionee from time to time (including amounts owed to the Optionee as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits, or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Optionee by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), to the extent of the amounts owed to the Company by the Optionee under paragraph 8(a) above and permitted by Section 409A of the Code. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount the Optionee owes it, calculated as set forth above, the Optionee agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Optionee may be released from the Optionee's obligations under paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) above only if the Committee (or its duly appointed agent) determines, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company.

9. <u>Acceleration of Vesting</u>. Notwithstanding paragraph 7, in the event that, during the Change in Control Period (as hereinafter defined), the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination (as hereinafter defined), then the Option shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable as of such date, and shall remain exercisable through the Expiration Date (or such earlier date as provided in Section 11.07 of the Plan). If the Optionee is a party to a Change in Control Employment Agreement with the Company (a "Change in Control Agreement"), "Change in Control Period" for purposes of this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to the term "Employment Period," as defined in the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Optionee is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, the term shall mean the period commencing on the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) and ending on the earlier of the Optionee's date of Retirement and the third anniversary of the effective date of the Change in Control. "Retirement" for purposes of this paragraph 9 shall mean the Optionee's voluntary termination of employment on or after (i) if the Optionee is a participant in the PPG Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan F or any successor thereto (the "Retirement Plan F"), the Optionee's "normal retirement date" as defined therein, (ii) if the Optionee is not a participant in the Retirement Plan F or the DCRP (as defined below) and the Company may subject the Optionee to compulsory retirement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as a "bona fide executive or a high policy maker", the Optionee's "Social Security Normal Retirement Age" as defined in the Retirement Plan F, (iii) if the Optionee is a participant in the PPG Industries Defined Contribution Retirement Plan or any successor thereto (the "DCRP") and not a participant in the Retirement Plan F, the Optionee's Social Security normal retirement date, or, (iv) if the provisions in (i) through (iii) are not applicable to the Optionee, the Optionee's attainment of age sixty-five (65). This paragraph 9 applies to the Option in lieu of Section 6.05 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Involuntary Termination" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean, if the Optionee is a party to a Change in Control Agreement, a termination of the Optionee's employment that gives rise to payments and benefits under Section 6 of the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Optionee is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, shall mean a termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability (as the terms are hereinafter defined). "Cause" for purposes of an Optionee who is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Optionee's offer letter or other applicable employment agreement; or, if there is no such definition, "Cause" means, as determined by the Committee in good faith: (i) engaging in any act, or failing to act, or misconduct that, in each case, is injurious to the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of duties; (iii) conviction of (or entering a plea of guilty or *nolo contendere* to) a criminal offense (other than a minor traffic offense); (iv) fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or a Subsidiary; (v) breach of any material term of any agreement between the Optionee and the Company or a Subsidiary relating to employment, consulting or other services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition; (vi) the entry of an order duly issued by any regulatory agency (including federal, state and local regulatory agencies and self-regulatory bodies) having jurisdiction over the Company or a Subsidiary requiring the removal from any office held by the Optionee with the Company or a Subsidiary or prohibiting or materially limiting the Optionee from participating in the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary.

10. <u>Nontransferability</u>. The Option is not transferable by the Optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Further, the Option shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee personally (or the Optionee's personal representative). Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Option shall immediately become null and void and the Option shall be forfeited. The Optionee's Beneficiary may exercise the Optionee's rights to the extent they are exercisable under the Plan following the death of the Optionee.

11. <u>Irrevocability.</u> The rights and Option granted hereby may not be rescinded, modified, canceled or otherwise affected by the Company, except as provided herein (whether expressly or by incorporation by reference), without the written consent of the Optionee, except to the extent doing so would not be materially adverse to the Optionee.

**APPENDIX** 

**PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.**

**TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD**

**(NON-U.S. LOCATIONS)**

This Appendix includes special terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Optionee if the Optionee resides in one of the countries listed herein.

*If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Optionee.*

This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2026. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee exercises the Option or when the Optionee sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure him or her of any particular result. **Accordingly, the Optionee should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Optionee's country apply to his or her specific situation.**

*If the Optionee is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to him or her.* 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement (of which this Appendix is a part) and the Plan.

**Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement.** In accepting the Award, the Optionee expressly recognizes that PPG Industries, Inc., with registered offices at One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15272, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that the Optionee's participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between the Optionee and PPG Industries, Inc. since the Optionee is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the Optionee's sole Employer is PPG INDUSTRIES de MEXICO S.A. de C.V. or Grupo Comex, S.A. de C.V ("PPG-Mexico"). Based on the foregoing, the Optionee expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Optionee may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Optionee and the Employer, PPG-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by PPG-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Optionee's employment.

The Optionee further understands that the Optionee's participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of PPG Industries, Inc.; therefore, PPG Industries, Inc. reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Optionee's participation at any time without any liability to the Optionee.

Finally, the Optionee hereby declares that the Optionee does not reserve to the Optionee any action or right to bring any claim against PPG Industries, Inc. for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Optionee therefore grants a full and broad release to PPG Industries, Inc., its affiliates, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, directors, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

Derivado de lo anterior, el Titular de la Opción expresamente reconoce que el Plan y los beneficios que pudieran derivar del mismo no establecen ningún derecho entre el Titular de la Opción y su empleador, PPG-México, y no forman parte de las condiciones laborales y/o prestaciones otorgadas por PPG-México, y expresamente el Titular de la Opción reconoce que cualquier modificación al Plan o la terminación del mismo de manera alguna podrá ser interpretada como una modificación de los condiciones de trabajo del Titular de la Opción.*

*Finalmente, el Titular de la Opción manifiesta que no se reserva ninguna acción o derecho que origine una demanda en contra de PPG Industries, Inc., por cualquier compensación o daño en relación con cualquier disposición del Plan o de los beneficios derivados del mismo, y en consecuencia el Titular de la Opción otorga un amplio y total finiquito a PPG Industries, Inc., sus Entidades Relacionadas, afiliadas, sucursales, oficinas de representación, sus accionistas,*

**Securities Law Notice.** Because this is a private offering in Switzerland, the Option is not subject to registration in Switzerland. Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Option (i) constitutes a prospectus according to articles 35 et seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services ("FinSA"), (ii) may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than an employee of the Company or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss reviewing body according to article 51 FinSA or any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).

**Responsibility for Taxes.** The following supplements the Responsibility for Taxes paragraph of the Agreement:

Without limitation to the Responsibility for Taxes paragraph of the Agreement, the Optionee agrees that the Optionee is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Optionee also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax–Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Optionee's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Optionee within 90 days of the end of the UK tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Optionee on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") may be payable. The Optionee will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Optionee at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in this Agreement.

**<u>GLOBAL TSR SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT</u>**

**#GrantDate#**

This GLOBAL TSR SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the date first written above by and between PPG Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and #ParticipantName+C# (the "Participant").

The Company maintains the PPG Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the Company to receive an Award under the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Grant Notice (as defined below) or the Plan.

The Award of TSR Shares shall be confirmed by a separate Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the "Grant Notice"), specifying the Date of Grant of the Award, the number of TSR Shares granted and the Award Goals (as defined in the Grant Notice) applicable to such TSR Shares. Each TSR Share is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent in value of a share of Common Stock. Such Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Such Grant Notice shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. <u>Terms and Conditions of the Award</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Award of TSR Shares confirmed in the Grant Notice. The Award of TSR Shares is made under Article VIII of the Plan. Unless and until the TSR Shares are vested in the manner set forth in paragraph 1.G. and 2.A. hereof, the Participant shall have no right to settlement of any such TSR Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.The Committee may terminate the Award at any time during the Award Period if, in its sole discretion, the Committee determines that the Participant is no longer in a position to have a substantial opportunity to influence the long-term growth of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The Participant shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent with respect to the number of TSR Shares that are actually earned or to which the Participant is determined to be entitled to in accordance with this paragraph 1, in an aggregate amount equal to the product of (x) the number of TSR Shares that are earned and/or become payable and (y) the sum of all dividends paid on a share of Common Stock during the period commencing on the first day of the Award Period and ending on the date the TSR Shares are paid to the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents with respect to any unvested portion of this Award shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as the TSR Shares awarded hereunder. Each Dividend Equivalent is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent in value of a dividend paid on a share of Common Stock payable in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof. Unless and until the TSR Shares are vested and certified in the manner set forth in paragraph 1 and 2.A. hereof, the Participant shall have no right to settlement of any such Dividend Equivalents. If the Participant is a participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan, then, unless prohibited under applicable law or otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, the value of such Dividend Equivalents shall be automatically deferred, on behalf of the Participant, into the Participant's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with the Participant's investment elections under such plan. To the extent the Dividend Equivalents have not been deferred, the Dividend Equivalents shall be paid to the Participant at the same time and in the same form the underlying TSR Shares are paid as contemplated in paragraph 2.A. hereof.

------

For purposes of the time and form of payment requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such Dividend Equivalents shall be treated separately from the TSR Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Prior to settlement of any vested TSR Shares, such TSR Shares will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. The Company's obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be made and the Participant shall have no greater rights than an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of this Award unless and until such Award is determined to be vested and resulting shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.If the Participant's employment with the Company or any Employer (as defined in paragraph 1.M., notwithstanding that such paragraph may not apply to the Award) terminates during the Award Period but, on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant because of (i) disability, job elimination, including termination of employment by the Company due to a divestiture, each as determined in the Committee's sole discretion, or (ii) a Qualifying Retirement, the Participant shall be entitled to a prorated Award which shall be determined by multiplying the number of TSR Shares to which the Participant would otherwise have been entitled had the Participant continued in employment through the duration of the Award Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months the Participant was employed during the Award Period and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar months in the Award Period, and such Award shall be paid as if the Participant had continued employment, subject to paragraph 2.C. hereof. In the event of the Participant's death during the Award Period but on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of TSR Shares to which the Participant should be entitled, if any, not to exceed the maximum number of TSR Shares that are eligible to vest based on actual performance under the Award and such Award shall be paid as if the Participant had continued employment, subject to paragraph 2.C. hereof.

For purposes of this paragraph 1.E., "Qualifying Retirement" means a termination of the Participant's employment with the Company and any Employer voluntarily by the Participant if such &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;termination occurs on or after the date that the sum of the Participant's (i) age and (ii) years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole number, equals or exceeds 70. For this purpose, if the Participant's service with the Company and its Subsidiaries previously terminated and the Participant recommenced service with the Company or its Subsidiaries more than one year after the termination date, the period of such previous service will not count as "years of service". In addition, for a Subsidiary acquired by the Company, the Participant's service with such Subsidiary prior to the closing of the acquisition of such Subsidiary by the Company will not count as "years of service".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.Except as provided in paragraph 1.E. or 1.H., If the Participant's active employment with the Company or any Employer terminates during the Award Period for any reason, the Participant's Award shall be forfeited on the date of such termination; <u>provided</u>, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a full or partial payout with respect to the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.The Committee shall determine the extent, if any, to which the applicable Award Goals have been attained and the extent, if any, to which the Award has been earned by the Participant, on or before March 15 following the end of the Award Period (the "Determination Date").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H.In the event that, during the Change in Control Period (as hereinafter defined), the Participant is subject to an Involuntary Termination (as hereinafter defined), then a number of TSR Shares determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, but in no event fewer than the number of TSR Shares payable at the "target" level, shall become fully vested, and the payout of the Award shall be made as soon as practicable following the date of the Involuntary Termination, subject to

------

paragraphs 2.C. and 16 hereof (for avoidance of doubt, the TSR Shares that vest pursuant to this paragraph 1.H. shall not be subject to the performance and determination procedures contemplated by paragraph 1.G. hereof). If required to avoid additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, an Involuntary Termination must constitute a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. This paragraph 1.H. applies to the Award in lieu of Section 8.03 of the Plan.

If the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Employment Agreement with the Company (a "Change in Control Agreement"), "Change in Control Period" for purposes of this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to the term "Employment Period," as defined in the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Participant is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, the term shall mean the period commencing on the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) and ending on the earlier of the Participant's date of Retirement and the last day of the Award Period. "Retirement" for purposes of this paragraph 1.H. shall mean the Participant's voluntary termination of employment on or after (i) if the Participant is a participant in the PPG Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan F or any successor thereto (the "Retirement Plan F"), the Participant's "normal retirement date" as defined therein, (ii) if the Participant is not a participant in the Retirement Plan F or the DCRP (as defined below) and the Company may subject the Participant to compulsory retirement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as a "bona fide executive or a high policy maker", the Participant's "Social Security Normal Retirement Age" as defined in the Retirement Plan F, (iii) if the Participant is a participant in the PPG Industries Defined Contribution Retirement Plan or any successor thereto (the "DCRP") and not a participant in the Retirement Plan F, the Participant's Social Security normal retirement date, or, (iv) if the provisions in (i) through (iii) are not applicable to the Participant, the Participant's attainment of age sixty-five (65).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Involuntary Termination" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean, if the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Agreement, a termination of the Participant's employment that gives rise to payments and benefits under Section 6 of the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Participant is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, shall mean a termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability (as the terms are hereinafter defined). "Cause" for purposes of a Participant who is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Participant's offer letter or other applicable employment agreement; or, if there is no such definition, "Cause" means, as determined by the Committee in good faith: (i) engaging in any act, or failing to act, or misconduct that, in each case, is injurious to the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of duties; (iii) conviction of (or entering a plea of guilty or *nolo contendere* to) a criminal offense (other than a minor traffic offense); (iv) fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or a Subsidiary; (v) breach of any material term of any agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary relating to employment, consulting or other services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition; (vi) the entry of an order duly issued by any regulatory agency (including federal, state and local regulatory agencies and self-regulatory bodies) having jurisdiction over the Company or a Subsidiary requiring the removal from any office held by the Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary prohibiting or materially limiting the Participant from participating in the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary. "Disability" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean disability, which, after the expiration of more than 52 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I.The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J.The Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of TSR Shares, or benefits in lieu of TSR Shares even if TSR Shares have been awarded in the past.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;K.All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;L.The Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M.For Participants resident outside of the United States, the TSR Shares are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing the Participant (the "Employer") and the TSR Shares are outside the scope of the Participant's employment contract, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;N.The TSR Shares, the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O.Neither the award of TSR Shares nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan or any policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon the Participant any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, and in the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the award of TSR Shares shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;P.The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Q.No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the TSR Shares resulting from termination of the Participant's employment (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;R.Except as set forth in paragraph 1, in the event of involuntary termination of the Participant's employment during the Award Period for any reason, the Participant's right to receive and vest in TSR Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (*e.g.*, active employment would not include a period of "garden leave" or similar period pursuant to local law); except as otherwise set forth in paragraph 1, the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;S.The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;T.The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or TSR Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V.Unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award, the underlying shares of Common Stock and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of any Subsidiary.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;W.Neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting/settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement.

2. <u>Payout on Account of Awards</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.Upon attainment of the Award Goals in accordance with paragraph 1.G. hereof or otherwise vesting pursuant to paragraph 1 hereof and satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to the issuance of the TSR Shares, and otherwise subject to this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to the number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Award as determined by the Committee. The Participant shall be entitled to receive payout of the vested Award in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares, less any Tax-Related Items as defined in paragraph 7, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The amount of any cash to be paid in lieu of Common Stock, if any, shall be determined using the average of the closing sale prices reported on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape for the Common Stock for all days in the month of December during which the New York Stock Exchange was open in the last year of the Award Period to which the Award relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant with respect to his or her Award shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange and any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any stock certificates for such shares making appropriate references to such legal restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and, for Participants located in the United States, except in the event the Participant is permitted and has made an election to defer payout of the TSR Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Company, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock (or payment of cash in lieu thereof) in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 and this paragraph 2 will be delivered by the end of the calendar year of (i) the taxable year that includes the Determination Date or, (ii) to the extent applicable under the provisions of paragraph 1.H. hereof, the date of an Involuntary Termination following a Change in Control. Payout of TSR Shares that have been deferred shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the deferral election form.

3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Continuing Conditions</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Participant, by execution of this Agreement, agrees and acknowledges that in return for the Award granted by the Company in this Agreement, the following continuing conditions shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.If at any time prior to the expiration of the Award Period or within one (1) year after the Award Period the Participant engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to: (1) conduct related to the Participant's employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against the Participant may be sought; (2) violation of Company (or Subsidiary) Code of Ethics or similar policy; (3) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with or acting against the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including employing or recruiting any present, former or future employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) disclosing or misusing any confidential information or material concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (5) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then this Award shall terminate effective as of the date on which the Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated

------

sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement, and any "Award Gain" realized by the Participant shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. "Award Gain" shall mean the cash and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to paragraph 2 on the date of such delivery times the number of shares so delivered. Any shares of Common Stock deferred by the Participant shall be considered to have been delivered for the purpose of this paragraph 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.By accepting this Agreement, the Participant consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), to the extent of the amounts payable to the Company by the Participant under paragraph 3.A. above and permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount payable by the Participant, calculated as set forth above, the Participant agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The Participant may be released from the Participant's obligations under paragraphs 3.A and 3.B above only if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion that such action is in the best interest of the Company.

4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Award Subject to Plan Provisions</u>. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the TSR Share Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, Article XI. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and either the Grant Notice or the Plan, the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable, shall control over this Agreement.

5. <u>Applicable Law; Entire Agreement; Venue</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to any choice of law principles. The Grant Notice, this Agreement, the Plan, the Change in Control Agreement, and any offer letter and/or employment agreement referenced herein, contain all terms and conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, or other federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania, where this Award of TSR Shares is made and/or to be performed, and no other courts. The parties agree that, if suit is filed in Allegheny County courts, application will be made by one or both parties, without objection, to have the case heard in the Center for Commercial and Complex Litigation of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County.

6. <u>Further Assurances</u>. The Participant agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements (including, without limitation, stock powers with respect to shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise distributed in relation to this Award) which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan.

7. <u>Taxes</u>. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state, and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to the Participant ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of

------

any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant and vesting of the TSR Shares, the determination of the Award Goals, the conversion of the TSR Shares into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to the TSR Shares and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax-withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items obligation by one or more of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting/settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization); and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)withholding from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer or from any equivalent cash payment received in connection with the Award; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the TSR Shares, provided, however that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company may withhold in shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event only if the use of such withholding method is not problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participants jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant shall be deemed, for tax purposes only, to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Award. The Participant shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that is required to be withheld or accounted for in connection with the TSR Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver to the Participant any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Anything in this paragraph 7 to the contrary notwithstanding, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to TSR Share Awards that will be permitted to be released and withheld (or sold on the Participant's behalf) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date the shares are scheduled to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 2.C. hereof for any portion of the TSR Shares that are considered

------

nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall not exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.

8. <u>Transfer Restrictions</u>. This Award and the TSR Shares are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Award shall immediately become null and void and the TSR Shares shall be forfeited.

9. <u>Capitalization Adjustments</u>. The number of TSR Shares awarded is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.07(a) of the Plan. The Participant shall be notified of such adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.

10. <u>Securities Law Compliance</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Participant upon vesting of this Award unless the Common Stock is then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Common Stock is not then so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Participant's sale of Shares may be subject to any closed trading windows that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company's insider trading policies (as may be amended from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion) and any other applicable securities laws. The Company's insider trading policy may prohibit Participant from buying or selling Shares. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock received under this Award at a time when the applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.

------

***the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share the Participant's Personal Data with such different service provider that serves the Company in a similar manner. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company's service provider will open an account for him or her to receive and trade shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and that he or she will be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider, which is a condition of the Participant's ability to participate in the Plan.***

In the latter case, the Participant understands and acknowledges that the Company's legal basis for the processing of his or her Personal Data would be compliance with the relevant laws or regulations. When the Company no longer needs the Participant's Personal Data for any of the above purposes, the Participant understands the Company will remove it from its systems.***

***<u>Voluntariness and Consequences of Denial/Withdrawal of Consent</u>. The Participant understands that his or her participation in the Plan and his or her consent is purely voluntary. The Participant may deny or later withdraw his or her consent at any time, with future effect and for any or no reason. If the Participant denies or later withdraws his or her consent, the Company can no longer offer the Participant participation in the Plan or offer other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards and the Participant would no longer be able to participate in the Plan. The Participant further understands that denial or withdrawal of his or her consent would not affect his or her status or salary as an employee or his or her career and that the Participant would merely forfeit the opportunities associated with the Plan.***

***<u>Data Subject Rights</u>.

In case of concerns, the Participant understands that he or she may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent local data protection authority. Further, to receive clarification of, or to exercise any of, the Participant's rights, the Participant understands that he or she should contact his or her local human resources representative.***

12. <u>Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment</u>. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall give the Participant the right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect the right of any such employer to terminate the Participant's employment.

13. <u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

14. <u>Waiver</u>. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

It is the intent that the TSR Shares shall comply with the requirements of (or be exempt from the application of) Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply (or be exempt). The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting or payouts provided under this Agreement are made in a manner that complies with Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A if compliance is not practical; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that nothing in this paragraph 16 creates an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, and the Company makes no representation that the terms of the TSR Shares will comply with (or be exempt from the application of) Section 409A or that payments under the TSR Shares will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates be liable to any party for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with (or be exempt from the application of) Section 409A.

18. <u>Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws</u>. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and the Participant's country or his or her broker's country, if different, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to such shares (e.g., TSR Shares) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock (e.g., Dividend Equivalents) during such times as the Participant is

------

considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company (as defined by any applicable laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy and under United States law. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

19. <u>Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements; Exchange Controls</u>. The Participant acknowledges that his or her country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and/or exchange controls that may affect his or her ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock or cash received from participating in the Plan (including from any dividends or Dividend Equivalents received or sale proceeds arising from the sale of shares of Common Stock) in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant's country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country.

**APPENDIX**

**PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.**

**GLOBAL TSR SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT** 

**For Participants Located Outside the United States**

This Appendix includes special terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Participant if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed herein.

*If the Participant is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant.* 

This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2026. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the TSR Shares vest or when the Participant sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure him or her of any particular result. **Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant's country apply to his or her specific situation**.

*If the Participant is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to him or her.* 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement (of which this Appendix is a part) and the Plan.

**<u>Mexico</u>**

**Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement**. In accepting the Award, the Participant expressly recognizes that PPG Industries, Inc., with registered offices at One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15272, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that the Participant's participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between the Participant and PPG Industries, Inc. since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the Participant's sole Employer is PPG INDUSTRIES de MEXICO S.A. de C.V. or Grupo Comex, S.A. de C.V ("PPG-Mexico"). Based on the foregoing, the Participant expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Participant may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Participant and the Employer, PPG-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by PPG-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant's employment.

The Participant further understands that the Participant's participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of PPG Industries, Inc.; therefore, PPG Industries, Inc. reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Participant's participation at any time without any liability to the Participant.

Finally, the Participant hereby declares that the Participant does not reserve to the Participant any action or right to bring any claim against PPG Industries, Inc. for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Participant therefore grants a full and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16

broad release to PPG Industries, Inc., its affiliates, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, directors, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

***Reconocimiento de Ausencia de Relación Laboral y Declaración de la Política***. *Aceptando este Premio, el Participante reconoce que PPG Industries, Inc. y sus oficinas registradas en One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., es el único responsable de la administración del Plan y que la participación del Participante en el mismo y la adquisición de Acciones no constituye de ninguna manera una relación laboral entre el Participante y PPG Industries, Inc., toda vez que la participación del Participante en el Plan deriva únicamente de una relación comercial con PPG Industries, Inc., reconociendo expresamente que el único empleador del Participante lo es PPG INDUSTRIES de MEXICO S.A. de C.V. o Grupo Comex, S.A. de C.V ("PPG-Mexico"). Derivado de lo anterior, el Participante expresamente reconoce que el Plan y los beneficios que pudieran derivar del mismo no establecen ningún derecho entre el Participante y su empleador, PPG-México, y no forman parte de las condiciones laborales y/o prestaciones otorgadas por PPG-México, y expresamente el Participante reconoce que cualquier modificación al Plan o la terminación del mismo de manera alguna podrá ser interpretada como una modificación de los condiciones de trabajo del Participante.*

*Asimismo, el Participante entiende que su participación en el Plan es resultado de la decisión unilateral y discrecional de PPG Industries, Inc., por lo tanto, PPG Industries, Inc. se reserva el derecho absoluto para modificar y/o terminar la participación del Participante en cualquier momento, sin ninguna responsabilidad para el Participante.*

*Finalmente, el Participante manifiesta que no se reserva ninguna acción o derecho que origine una demanda en contra de PPG Industries, Inc., por cualquier compensación o daño en relación con cualquier disposición del Plan o de los beneficios derivados del mismo, y en consecuencia el Participante otorga un amplio y total finiquito a PPG Industries, Inc., sus Entidades Relacionadas, afiliadas, sucursales, oficinas de representación, sus accionistas, directores, agentes y representantes legales con respecto a cualquier demanda que pudiera surgir.*

**<u>PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.</u>**

**<u>GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT</u>**

This GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the date first written above by and between PPG Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and #ParticipantName+C# (the "Participant").

The Company maintains the PPG Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the Company to receive an Award under the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Grant Notice (as defined below) or the Plan.

The Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be confirmed by a separate Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the "Grant Notice"), specifying the Date of Grant of the Award, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted and the Award Goals (as defined in the Grant Notice) applicable to such Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent in value of a share of Common Stock. Such Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Such Grant Notice shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.<u>Terms and Conditions of the Award</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Award of Restricted Stock Units confirmed in the Grant Notice. The Award of Restricted Stock Units is made under Article VII of the Plan. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are vested in the manner set forth in paragraph 1.P. and 2.A. hereof, the Participant shall have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded in the past.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.The Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.For Participants located outside of the United States, the Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing the Participant (the "Employer") and the Restricted Stock Units are outside the scope of the Participant's employment contract, if any.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.The Restricted Stock Units, the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H.Neither the award of Restricted Stock Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan, the Grant Notice, or any policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon the Participant any right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, and in the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I.The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J.No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant's employment (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;K.The Committee may terminate the Award at any time on or prior to the Vesting Date (as defined in the Grant Notice) if, in its sole discretion, the Committee determines that the Participant is no longer in a position to have a substantial opportunity to influence the long-term growth of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;L.Prior to settlement of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. The Company's obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be made and the Participant shall have no greater rights than an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of any Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award unless and until such Award is determined to be vested and resulting shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M.If the Participant's employment with the Company or any Employer (as defined in paragraph 1.F., notwithstanding that such paragraph may not apply to the Award) terminates prior to the Vesting Date but, on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant because of (i) disability, job elimination, including termination of employment by the Company due to a divestiture, each as determined in the Committee's sole discretion, or (ii) a Qualifying Retirement or death, the Participant shall be entitled to the same payments under the Award to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Participant's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and such Award shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, subject to paragraph 2.C. hereof; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a lesser Award.

------

For purposes of this paragraph 1.M., "Qualifying Retirement" means a termination of the Participant's employment with the Company and any Employer voluntarily by the Participant if such termination occurs on or after the date that the sum of the Participant's (i) age and (ii) years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole number, equals or exceeds 70. For this purpose, if the Participant's service with the Company and its Subsidiaries previously terminated and the Participant recommenced service with the Company or its Subsidiaries more than one year after the termination date, the period of such previous service will not count as "years of service". In addition, for a Subsidiary acquired by the Company, the Participant's service with such Subsidiary prior to the closing of the acquisition of such Subsidiary by the Company will not count as "years of service".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;N.Except as set forth in paragraph 1.M. or paragraph 1.Q., if the Participant's employment with the Company or any Employer terminates prior to the Vesting Date for any reason, the Participant's Award shall be forfeited on the date of such termination; <u>provided</u>, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a full or partial payout with respect to the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O.Subject to paragraph 1.Q. and paragraph 15, for purposes of the Award, the Participant's employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Plan, the Grant Notice, the Change in Control Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or any offer letter and/or employment agreement referenced herein, or determined by the Company, the Participant's right to vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant's period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;P.The Committee shall determine the extent, if any, to which the applicable Award Goals have been attained and the extent, if any, to which the Award has been earned by the Participant, on or before March 15 following the end of the Award Period (the "Determination Date").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Q.In the event that, during the Change in Control Period (as hereinafter defined), the Participant is subject to an Involuntary Termination (as hereinafter defined), then a number of Restricted Stock Units determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, but in no event fewer than the number of Restricted Stock Units that would become vested at the "target" level, shall become fully vested, and the payout of the Award shall be made as soon as practicable following the date of the Involuntary Termination, subject to paragraphs 2.C. and 15 hereof (for avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this paragraph 1.Q. shall not be subject to the performance and determination procedures contemplated by paragraph 1.P. hereof). If required to avoid additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, an Involuntary Termination

------

must constitute a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. This paragraph 1.Q. applies to the Award in lieu of Section 7.04 of the Plan.

If the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Employment Agreement with the Company (a "Change in Control Agreement"), "Change in Control Period" for purposes of this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to the term "Employment Period," as defined in the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Participant is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, the term shall mean the period commencing on the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) and ending on the earlier of the Participant's date of Retirement and the Vesting Date. "Retirement" for purposes of this paragraph 1.Q. shall mean the Participant's voluntary termination of employment on or after (i) if the Participant is a participant in the PPG Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan F or any successor thereto (the "Retirement Plan F"), the Participant's "normal retirement date" as defined therein, (ii) if the Participant is not a participant in the Retirement Plan F or the DCRP (as defined below) and the Company may subject the Participant to compulsory retirement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as a "bona fide executive or a high policy maker", the Participant's "Social Security Normal Retirement Age" as defined in the Retirement Plan F, (iii) if the Participant is a participant in the PPG Industries Defined Contribution Retirement Plan or any successor thereto (the "DCRP") and not a participant in the Retirement Plan F, the Participant's Social Security normal retirement date, or, (iv) if the provisions in (i) through (iii) are not applicable to the Participant, the Participant's attainment of age sixty-five (65).

"Involuntary Termination" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean, if the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Agreement, a termination of the Participant's employment that gives rise to payments and benefits under Section 6 of the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Participant is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, shall mean a termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability (as the terms are hereinafter defined). "Cause" for purposes of a Participant who is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Participant's offer letter or other applicable employment agreement; or, if there is no such definition, "Cause" means, as determined by the Committee in good faith: (i) engaging in any act, or failing to act, or misconduct that, in each case, is injurious to the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of duties; (iii) conviction of (or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to) a criminal offense (other than a minor traffic offense); (iv) fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or a Subsidiary; (v) breach of any material term of any agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary relating to employment, consulting or other services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition; (vi) the entry of an order duly issued by any regulatory agency (including federal, state and local regulatory agencies and self-regulatory bodies) having jurisdiction over the Company or a Subsidiary requiring the removal from any office held by the Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary or prohibiting or materially limiting the Participant from participating in the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary. "Disability" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean disability, which, after the expiration of more than 52 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;R.The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;S.The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;T.Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.Unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award, the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V.Neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting/settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement.

2.<u>Payout on Account of Awards</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.Upon attainment of the Award Goals or otherwise vesting pursuant to paragraph 1 and satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to the issuance of the Restricted Stock Units, and otherwise subject to this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to the number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Award as determined by the Committee in accordance with paragraph 1 hereof. The Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout of the vested Award in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares, less any Tax-Related Items as defined in paragraph 6, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The amount of any cash to be paid in lieu of Common Stock shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the Determination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant with respect to his or her Award shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange and any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any stock certificates for such shares making appropriate references to such legal restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and, for Participants located in the United States, except in the event the Participant is permitted and has made an election to defer payout of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Company, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock (or payment of cash in lieu thereof) in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 and this paragraph 2 will be delivered by the end of the calendar year of (i) the taxable year that includes the Determination Date or, (ii) to the extent applicable under the provisions of paragraph 1.Q. hereof, the date of an Involuntary Termination following a Change in Control. Payout of Restricted Stock Units that have been deferred shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the deferral election form.

------

3.<u>Continuing Conditions</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Participant, by execution of this Agreement, agrees and acknowledges that in return for the Award granted by the Company in this Agreement, the following continuing conditions shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.If at any time prior to the Vesting Date or within one (1) year after the Vesting Date the Participant engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to: (1) conduct related to the Participant's employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against the Participant may be sought; (2) violation of Company(or Subsidiary) Code of Ethics or similar policy; (3) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with or acting against the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including employing or recruiting any present, former or future employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) disclosing or misusing any confidential information or material concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (5) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then this Award shall terminate effective as of the date on which the Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement, and any "Award Gain" realized by the Participant shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. "Award Gain" shall mean the cash and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to paragraph 2 on the date of such delivery times the number of shares so delivered. Any shares of Common Stock deferred by the Participant shall be considered to have been delivered for the purpose of this paragraph 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.By accepting this Agreement, the Participant consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), to the extent of the amounts payable to the Company by the Participant under paragraph 3.A. above and permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount payable by the Participant, calculated as set forth above, the Participant agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The Participant may be released from the Participant's obligations under paragraphs 3.A and 3.B above only if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interest of the Company.

4.<u>Award Subject to Plan Provisions</u>. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, Article XI. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and either the Grant Notice or the Plan, the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable, shall control over this Agreement.

5.<u>Applicable Law; Entire Agreement; Venue</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to any choice of law principles. The Grant Notice, this Agreement, the Plan, the

------

Change in Control Agreement, and any offer letter and/or employment agreement referenced herein, contain all terms and conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, or other federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania, where this Award of Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be performed, and no other courts. The parties agree that, if suit is filed in Allegheny County courts, application will be made by one or both parties, without objection, to have the case heard in the Center for Commercial and Complex Litigation of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County.

6.<u>Taxes</u>. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state, and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to the Participant ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the conversion of the Restricted Stock Units into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax-withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items obligation by one or a combination of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting/settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization); and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) withholding from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer or from any equivalent cash payment received in connection with the Award; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, provided, however that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the

------

Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company may withhold in shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, only if the use of such withholding method is not problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participant's jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant shall be deemed, for tax purposes only, to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Award. The Participant shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that is required to be withheld or accounted for in connection with the Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver to the Participant any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock Units that will be permitted to be released and withheld (or sold on the Participant's behalf) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date the shares are scheduled to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 2.C. hereof for any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall not exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.

7.<u>Further Assurances</u>. The Participant agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements (including, without limitation, stock powers with respect to shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise distributed in relation to this Award) which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan.

8.<u>Transfer Restrictions</u>. This Award and the Restricted Stock Units are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Award shall immediately become null and void and the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

9.<u>Capitalization Adjustments</u>. The number of Restricted Stock Units awarded is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.07(a) of the Plan. The Participant shall be notified of such adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.

------

10.<u>Securities Law Compliance</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Participant upon vesting of this Restricted Stock Unit Award unless the Common Stock is then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Common Stock is not then so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Participant's sale of Shares may be subject to any closed trading windows that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company's insider trading policies (as may be amended from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion) and any other applicable securities laws. The Company's insider trading policy may prohibit Participant from buying or selling Shares. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock received under this Award at a time when the applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.

Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities.

21.<u>Compensation Recovery Policy</u>. This Award and any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit received by the Participant from a subsequent sale of Shares issued under this Award shall be subject to the Company's Compensation Recovery Policy in effect as of the date hereof, as may be amended from time to time to comply with applicable laws (the "Compensation Recovery Policy").

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that execution of the Participant's orders to transact in or to transfer shares of Common Stock received upon vesting/settlement of this Award may be delayed or never occur.

This Appendix includes special terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Participant if the Participant resides in one of the countries listed herein.

*If the Participant is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant.* 

This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2026. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or when the Participant sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure him or her of any particular result. **Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant's country apply to his or her specific situation**.

*If the Participant is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to him or her.*

<u>Chile</u>

**Securities Law Notice**. This offer conforms to general ruling N°336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market ("CMF"). The offer deals with securities not registered in the registry of securities or in the registry of foreign securities of the CMF, and therefore such securities are not subject to its oversight. The issuer is not obligated to provide public information in Chile regarding the foreign securities, since such securities are not registered with the CMF. The securities shall not be subject to public offering as long as they are not registered with the corresponding registry of securities in Chile, unless they fulfill the requirements set forth in general ruling N°336 of the CMF.

<u>China</u>

**Termination of Employment**. The Participant understands and agrees that, if he or she is subject to exchange control laws and regulations in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), paragraph 1.M. of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following provision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M. If the Participant's employment with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary terminates prior to the Vesting Date but, on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant because of (i) disability, job elimination, including termination of employment by the Company due to a divestiture, each as determined in the Committee's sole discretion, or (ii) a Qualifying Retirement or death, the Participant shall be entitled to the same payments under the Award to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Participant's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and such Award shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, subject to paragraph 2.C.; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a lesser Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Payout Date (as defined in paragraph 2.C.) is more than six (6) months after the termination date, the Participant shall surrender all unvested Restricted Stock Units and, in exchange therefore, the Participant will receive a cash payment equal in value to the Award to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Participant's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and such cash payment shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Participant's termination date. For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of any cash to be paid in lieu of Common Stock shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which it is paid.

**Exchange Control Restrictions**. To facilitate compliance with any applicable laws or regulations in the PRC, the Participant agrees to the sale of any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the Award. The sale will occur (i) immediately upon vesting and settlement of the Award, (ii) following the Participant's termination of employment with the Employer, the Company or a Subsidiary, or (iii) within any other time frame as the Company determines to be necessary to facilitate compliance with

------

local regulatory requirements. The Participant further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization) and the Participant expressly authorizes the Company's designated broker to complete the sale of such shares. The Participant acknowledges that the Company's designated broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the shares, the Company agrees to pay the Participant the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions and subject to any obligation to satisfy Tax-Related Items. The Participant agrees that the payment of the cash proceeds will be subject to the repatriation requirements described below.

The Participant further agrees that any shares to be issued to the Participant shall be deposited directly into an account with the Company's designated broker. The deposited shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the brokerage account. This limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms. The limitation shall apply to all shares issued to the Participant under the Plan, whether or not the Participant continues to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. If the Participant sells shares issued upon vesting and settlement of the Award, the repatriation requirements described below shall apply.

The Participant understands and agrees that, if he or she is subject to exchange control laws and regulations in the PRC (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), the Participant will be required to repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and any dividends or Dividend Equivalents received in relation to the shares to the PRC. The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of his or her cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company, a Subsidiary or the Employer, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that any proceeds from the sale of any shares, dividends or Dividend Equivalents the Participant receives may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The Participant also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company's designated brokerage firm) to effectuate such transfers and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to exchange control matters. The proceeds may be paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion. If the proceeds are paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars, the Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid to the Participant in local currency, the Participant acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions. The Participant agrees that, if required by the Company, he or she will bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the proceeds are received and the time (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and/or (ii) the net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to the Participant. The Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.

**Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement.** In accepting the Award, the Participant expressly recognizes that PPG Industries, Inc., with registered offices at One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15272, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that the Participant's participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between the Participant and PPG Industries, Inc. since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the Participant's sole Employer is PPG INDUSTRIES de MEXICO S.A. de C.V. or Grupo Comex, S.A. de C.V ("PPG-Mexico"). Based on the foregoing, the Participant expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Participant may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Participant and the Employer, PPG-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by PPG-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant's employment.

The Participant further understands that the Participant's participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of PPG Industries, Inc.; therefore, PPG Industries, Inc. reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Participant's participation at any time without any liability to the Participant.

Finally, the Participant hereby declares that the Participant does not reserve to the Participant any action or right to bring any claim against PPG Industries, Inc. for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Participant therefore grants a full and broad release to PPG Industries, Inc., its affiliates, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, directors, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

**Securities Law Notice.** Warning: This is an offer of rights to receive shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The shares of Common Stock, once acquired, will give the Participant a stake in the ownership of the Company. The Participant may receive a return if dividends are paid on the shares of Common Stock. If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors have been paid. The Participant may lose some or all of his or her investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, the Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

The Participant should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing him- or herself. The shares of Common Stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Participant may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. The Participant may get less than the Participant invested. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.

For information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the shares of Common Stock, the Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at <u>www.sec.gov</u>, as well as on the Company's "Investor Center" website at <u>http://investor.ppg.com/</u>.

**Terms and Conditions of the Plan.** This provision supplements the Terms and Conditions of the Award paragraph of the Agreement:

In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, has unilaterally and gratuitously decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Employer on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and the shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Award shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or a Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that the grant of the Award would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of an Award shall be null and void.

If a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason (including termination by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause or another termination of employment caused directly or indirectly by the Company or a Subsidiary) other than as set forth in paragraph 1.M. or paragraph 1.Q., the Participant forfeits all rights to the Award.

**Securities Law Notice.** No "offer of securities to the public," as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Award.

Neither this document nor any other materials relating to the Restricted Stock Units (i) constitutes a prospectus according to articles 35 et seq. of the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services ("FinSA"), (ii) may be publicly distributed or otherwise made publicly available in Switzerland to any person other than an employee of the Company or (iii) has been or will be filed with, approved or supervised by any Swiss reviewing body according to article 51 FinSA or any Swiss regulatory authority, including the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (*FINMA*).

**Securities Law Notice.** The Restricted Stock Units and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units are available only for employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries and affiliates. The Award is not a public offer of securities by a Taiwanese company.

**Exchange Control Notice.** If the Participant is a resident of Taiwan (including an expatriate holding an Alien Resident Certificate), the Participant may acquire foreign currency and remit the same out of or into Taiwan up to US$5,000,000 per year without justification. If the Participant is an expatriate employee who does not have an Alien Resident Certificate, the Participant may remit into Taiwan and convert to local currency up to US$100,000 at each remittance with no annual limitation.

**<u>Thailand</u>**

**Exchange Control Notice.** The Participant may be required to immediately repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and any cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents received in relation to the shares to Thailand and convert the funds to Thai Baht within 360 days of repatriation if the proceeds realized in a single transaction exceed US$1,000,000 (unless the Participant can rely on any applicable exemptions (e.g., where the funds will be used offshore for any permissible purposes under exchange control regulations and the relevant form and supporting documents have been submitted to a commercial bank in Thailand)). In addition, the Participant must report the inward remittance by submitting the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the authorized agent. If the Participant fails to comply with these obligations, the Participant may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand. The Participant should consult his or her personal advisor before taking any action with respect to the remittance of proceeds from the sale of shares, any cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents into Thailand. It is the Participant's responsibility to comply with the Thailand exchange control laws, and neither the Company nor the Employer will be liable for any fines or penalties resulting from failure to comply with applicable laws.

**<u>Turkey</u>**

**Securities Law Notice.** Under Turkish law, the Participant is not permitted to sell any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan in Turkey.

**Exchange Control Notice.** The Participant may be required to engage a Turkish financial intermediary to assist with the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. As the Participant is solely responsible for complying with any applicable financial intermediary requirements, the Participant should consider consulting his or her personal legal advisor prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or any sale of shares of Common Stock to ensure compliance.

**<u>United Arab Emirates</u>**

**Securities Law Notice.** The Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan are being offered only to eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are in the nature of providing equity incentives to such employees. Any documents related to the Restricted Stock Units, including the Plan, Agreement, including this Appendix, and any other grant documents ("Award Documents"), are intended for distribution only to such eligible employees and must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any Award Documents or any other incidental communication materials distributed in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. Further, neither the Ministry of Economy nor the Dubai Department of Economic Development has approved the Award Documents or taken steps to verify the information set out in them, and thus, is not responsible for their content.

Participants should, as prospective stockholders, conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If the Participant does not understand the contents of the Award Documents, he or she should consult an authorized financial advisor.

**<u>United Kingdom</u>**

**Taxes.** The following supplements the Taxes paragraph of the Agreement:

------

Without limitation to the Taxes paragraph of the Agreement, the Participant agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax–Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Participant's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Participant within 90 days of the end of the UK tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") may be payable. The Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Participant at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in this Agreement.

**<u>Uruguay</u>**

There are no country-specific provisions.

**<u>Vietnam</u>**

**Settlement.** Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant is not entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units due to exchange control regulations in Vietnam. This means that upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at vesting, less any Tax-Related Items, which will be remitted to the Participant via local payroll. Any references in the Plan and this Agreement to the issuance of shares shall not apply to the Participant.

**<u>PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.</u>**

**<u>GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT</u>**

**#GrantDate#**

This GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the date first written above by and between PPG Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and #ParticipantName+C# (the "Participant").

The Company maintains the PPG Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the Company to receive an Award under the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Grant Notice (as defined below) or the Plan.

The Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be confirmed by a separate Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the "Grant Notice"), specifying the Date of Grant of the Award, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted and the Award Goals (as defined in the Grant Notice) applicable to such Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent in value of a share of Common Stock. Such Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Such Grant Notice shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.<u>Terms and Conditions of the Award</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Award of Restricted Stock Units confirmed in the Grant Notice. The Award of Restricted Stock Units is made under Article VII of the Plan. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are vested in the manner set forth in paragraph 1.P. and 2.A. hereof, the Participant shall have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.The Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Grant Notice and/or this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The Award is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Units even if Restricted Stock Units have been awarded in the past.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.All decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E.The Participant's participation in the Plan is voluntary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F.For Participants located outside of the United States, the Restricted Stock Units are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary employing the Participant (the "Employer") and the Restricted Stock Units are outside the scope of the Participant's employment contract, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;G.The Restricted Stock Units, the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;H.Neither the award of Restricted Stock Units nor any provision of this Agreement, the Plan, the Grant Notice or any policies adopted pursuant to the Plan confer upon the Participant any

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

------

right with respect to employment or continuation of current employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, and in the event that the Participant is not an employee of the Company, the award of Restricted Stock Units shall not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I.The future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;J.No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant's employment (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;K.The Committee may terminate the Award at any time on or prior to the Vesting Date (as defined in the Grant Notice) if, in its sole discretion, the Committee determines that the Participant is no longer in a position to have a substantial opportunity to influence the long-term growth of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;L.Prior to settlement of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. The Company's obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be made and the Participant shall have no greater rights than an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of any Restricted Stock Units granted under this Award unless and until such Award is determined to be vested and resulting shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M.If the Participant's employment with the Company or any Employer (as defined in paragraph 1.F., notwithstanding that such paragraph may not apply to the Award) terminates prior to the Vesting Date but, on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant because of (i) disability, job elimination, including termination of employment by the Company due to a divestiture, each as determined in the Committee's sole discretion, or (ii) a Qualifying Retirement or death, the Participant shall be entitled to the same payments under the Award to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Participant's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and such Award shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, subject to paragraph 2.C. hereof; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a lesser Award.

For purposes of this paragraph 1.M., "Qualifying Retirement" means a termination of the Participant's employment with the Company and any Employer voluntarily by the Participant if such termination occurs on or after the date that the sum of the Participant's (i) age and (ii) years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole number, equals or exceeds 70. For this purpose, if the Participant's service with the Company and its Subsidiaries previously terminated and the Participant recommenced service with the Company or its Subsidiaries more than one year after the termination date, the period of such previous service will not count as "years of service". In addition, for a Subsidiary acquired by the Company, the Participant's service with such Subsidiary prior to the closing of the acquisition of such Subsidiary by the Company will not count as "years of service".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;N.Except as set forth in paragraph 1.M. or paragraph 1.Q, if the Participant's employment with the Company or any Employer terminates prior to the Vesting Date for any reason, the Participant's Award shall be forfeited on the date of such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O.Subject to paragraph 1.Q and paragraph 15, for purposes of the Award, the Participant's employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant is

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3

------

no longer actively providing services to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Plan, the Grant Notice, the Change in Control Agreement (as hereinafter defined), or any offer letter and/or employment agreement referenced herein, or determined by the Company, the Participant's right to vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant's period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant's employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Award (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;P.The Committee shall determine the extent, if any, to which the applicable Award Goals have been attained and the extent, if any, to which the Award has been earned by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Q.In the event that, during the Change in Control Period (as hereinafter defined), the Participant is subject to an Involuntary Termination (as hereinafter defined), then the Award shall become fully vested, and the payout of the Award shall be made as soon as practicable following the date of the Involuntary Termination, subject to paragraphs 2.C. and 15 hereof (for avoidance of doubt, the Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this paragraph 1.Q. shall not be subject to the performance and determination procedures contemplated by paragraph 1.P. hereof). If required to avoid additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, an Involuntary Termination must constitute a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. This paragraph 1.Q. applies to the Award in lieu of Section 7.04 of the Plan.

If the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Employment Agreement with the Company (a "Change in Control Agreement"), "Change in Control Period" for purposes of this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to the term "Employment Period," as defined in the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Participant is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, the term shall mean the period commencing on the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) and ending on the earlier of the Participant's date of Retirement and the Vesting Date. "Retirement" for purposes of this paragraph 1.Q. shall mean the Participant's voluntary termination of employment on or after (i) if the Participant is a participant in the PPG Industries, Inc. Retirement Plan F or any successor thereto (the "Retirement Plan F"), the Participant's "normal retirement date" as defined therein, (ii) if the Participant is not a participant in the Retirement Plan F or the DCRP (as defined below) and the Company may subject the Participant to compulsory retirement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act as a "bona fide executive or a high policy maker", the Participant's "Social Security Normal Retirement Age" as defined in the Retirement Plan F, (iii) if the Participant is a participant in the PPG Industries Defined Contribution Retirement Plan or any successor thereto (the "DCRP") and not a participant in the Retirement Plan F, the Participant's Social Security normal retirement date, or, (iv) if the provisions in (i) through (iii) are not applicable to the Participant, the Participant's attainment of age sixty-five (65).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Involuntary Termination" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean, if the Participant is a party to a Change in Control Agreement, a termination of the Participant's employment that gives rise to payments and benefits under Section 6 of the Change in Control Agreement, and if the Participant is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement, shall mean a termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death or Disability (as the terms are hereinafter defined). "Cause" for purposes of a Participant who is not a party to a Change in Control Agreement shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Participant's offer letter or other applicable employment agreement; or, if there is no such definition, "Cause" means, as determined by the Committee in good faith: (i) engaging in any act, or failing to act, or misconduct that, in each case, is injurious to the Company or its Subsidiaries; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of duties; (iii) conviction of (or entering a plea of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4

------

guilty or *nolo contendere* to) a criminal offense (other than a minor traffic offense); (iv) fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or a Subsidiary; (v) breach of any material term of any agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Subsidiary relating to employment, consulting or other services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition; (vi) the entry of an order duly issued by any regulatory agency (including federal, state and local regulatory agencies and self-regulatory bodies) having jurisdiction over the Company or a Subsidiary requiring the removal from any office held by the Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary or prohibiting or materially limiting the Participant from participating in the business or affairs of the Company or any Subsidiary. "Disability" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean disability, which, after the expiration of more than 52 weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;R.The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;S.The Participant should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Participant's participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan or Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;T.Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Award and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Award or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.Unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Award, the underlying shares of Common Stock, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as a director of any Subsidiary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V.Neither the Company, the Employer nor any Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Award or of any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the vesting/settlement of the Award or the subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>Payout on Account of Awards</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.Upon attainment of the Award Goals or otherwise vesting pursuant to paragraph 1 and satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to the issuance of the Restricted Stock Units, and otherwise subject to this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Participant shall be entitled to the number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Award as determined by the Committee in accordance with paragraph 1.P. The Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout of the vested Award in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares, less any Tax-Related Items as defined in paragraph 6, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The amount of any cash to be paid in lieu of Common Stock shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the applicable Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant with respect to his or her Award shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange and any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any stock certificates for such shares making appropriate references to such legal restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 and this paragraph 2 will be delivered by the end of the calendar year of (i) the Vesting Date or (ii) to the extent applicable under the provisions of paragraph 1.Q. hereof, the date of an Involuntary Termination following a Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Continuing Conditions</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Participant, by execution of this Agreement, agrees and acknowledges that in return for the Award granted by the Company in this Agreement, the following continuing conditions shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.If at any time prior to the Vesting Date or within one (1) year after the Vesting Date the Participant engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to: (1) conduct related to the Participant's employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against the Participant may be sought; (2) violation of Company (or Subsidiary) Code of Ethics or similar policy; (3) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with or acting against the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including employing or recruiting any present, former or future employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) disclosing or misusing any confidential information or material concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (5) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then this Award shall terminate effective as of the date on which the Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement, and any "Award Gain" realized by the Participant shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. "Award Gain" shall mean the cash and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to paragraph 2 on the date of such delivery times the number of shares so delivered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.By accepting this Agreement, the Participant consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed the Participant as wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), to the extent of the amounts payable to the Company by the Participant under paragraph 3.A. above and permitted by Section 409A of the Code. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount payable by the Participant, calculated as set forth above, the Participant agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.The Participant may be released from the Participant's obligations under paragraphs 3.A and 3.B above only if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion that such action is in the best interest of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Award Subject to Plan Provisions</u>. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, Article XI. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and either the Grant Notice or the Plan, the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable, shall control over this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Applicable Law; Entire Agreement; Venue</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to any choice of law principles. The Grant Notice, this Agreement, the Plan, the Change in Control Agreement, and any offer letter and/or employment agreement referenced herein, contain all terms and conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof.

For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6

------

other federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania, where this Award of Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be performed, and no other courts. The parties agree that, if suit is filed in Allegheny County courts, application will be made by one or both parties, without objection, to have the case heard in the Center for Commercial and Complex Litigation of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Taxes</u>. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Employer take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state, and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer to be an appropriate charge to the Participant ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the conversion of the Restricted Stock Units into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax-withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy the Tax-Related Items obligation by one or a combination of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting/settlement of the Award either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization); and /or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) withholding from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer or from any equivalent cash payment received in connection with the Award; and /or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, provided, however that if the Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company may withhold in shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, only if the use of such withholding method is not problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i) and (ii) above.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participant's jurisdiction(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7

------

Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant shall be deemed, for tax purposes only, to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Award. The Participant shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that is required to be withheld or accounted for in connection with the Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver to the Participant any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

Anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary notwithstanding, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock Units that will be permitted to be released and withheld (or sold on the Participant's behalf) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items arising prior to the date the shares are scheduled to be delivered pursuant to paragraph 2.C. hereof for any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall not exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that equals the liability for the Tax-Related Items.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Further Assurances</u>. The Participant agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements (including, without limitation, stock powers with respect to shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise distributed in relation to this Award) which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.<u>Transfer Restrictions</u>. This Award and the Restricted Stock Units are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Award shall immediately become null and void and the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.<u>Capitalization Adjustments</u>. The number of Restricted Stock Units awarded is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.07(a) of the Plan. The Participant shall be notified of such adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.<u>Securities Law Compliance</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Participant upon vesting of this Restricted Stock Unit Award unless the Common Stock is then registered under the Securities Act, or, if such Common Stock is not then so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Participant's sale of Shares may be subject to any closed trading windows that may be imposed by the Company and must comply with the Company's insider trading policies (as may be amended from time to time by the Company in its sole discretion) and any other applicable securities laws. The Company's insider trading policy may prohibit Participant from buying or selling Shares. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock received under this Award at a time when the applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.<u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.<u>Waiver</u>. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

It is the intent that the Restricted Stock Units shall comply with the requirements of (or be exempt from the application of) Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply (or be exempt). The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting or payouts provided under this Agreement are made in a manner that complies with Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A if compliance is not

practical; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that nothing in this paragraph 15 creates an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, and the Company makes no representation that the terms of the Restricted Stock Units will comply with (or be exempt from the application of) Section 409A or that payments under the Restricted Stock Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.<u>Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws</u>. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed and in applicable jurisdictions including the United States and the Participant's country or his or her broker's country, if different, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock, rights to such shares (*e.g.*, Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of shares of Common Stock (e.g., Dividend Equivalents) during such times as the Participant is considered to have "inside information" regarding the Company (as defined by any applicable laws in applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information. Furthermore, the Participant could be prohibited from (i) disclosing the inside information to any third party, which may include fellow employees and (ii) "tipping" third parties or causing them otherwise to buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy and under United States law. The Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and should consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.<u>Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements; Exchange Controls</u>.

The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. The Participant also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of his or her participation in the Plan to his or her country through a designated bank or broker and/or within a certain time after receipt. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations, and the Participant is advised to consult his or her personal legal advisor for any details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.<u>Appendix</u>. Notwithstanding any provision herein, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions as set forth in the Appendix for the Participant's country of residence, if any. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to another country, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant; to the extent, the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.<u>Imposition of Other Requirements</u>. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant's participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Stock Units and on

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11

any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.<u>Compensation Recovery Policy</u>. This Award and any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit received by the Participant from a subsequent sale of Shares issued under this Award shall be subject to the Company's Compensation Recovery Policy in effect as of the date hereof, as may be amended from time to time to comply with applicable laws (the "Compensation Recovery Policy").

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Participant's acceptance of this Award shall be deemed to constitute the Participant's acknowledgement of and consent to the Company's application, implementation and enforcement of the Compensation Recovery Policy.

**APPENDIX**

**GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT**

This Appendix includes special terms and conditions that govern the Award granted to the Participant if the Participant resides outside of the United States in one of the countries listed herein.

*If the Participant is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant.* 

This Appendix may also include information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of February 2026. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Participant not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Stock Units vest or when the Participant sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to the Participant's particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure him or her of any particular result. **Accordingly, the Participant should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in the Participant's country apply to his or her specific situation.**

*If the Participant is a citizen or resident of another country, transfers employment and/or residency to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained in this Appendix may not be applicable to him or her.*

**<u>Chile</u>**

**Securities Law Notice.** This offer conforms to general ruling N°336 of the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market ("CMF"). The offer deals with securities not registered in the registry of securities or in the registry of foreign securities of the CMF, and therefore such securities are not subject to its oversight. The issuer is not obligated to provide public information in Chile regarding the foreign securities, since such securities are not registered with the CMF. The securities shall not be subject to public offering as long as they are not registered with the corresponding registry of securities in Chile, unless they fulfill the requirements set forth in general ruling N°336 of the CMF.

**<u>China</u>**

**Termination of Employment.** The Participant understands and agrees that, if he or she is subject to exchange control laws and regulations in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), paragraph 1.M. of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following provision:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;M.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Participant's employment with the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary terminates prior to the Vesting Date but, on or after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant because of (i) disability, job elimination, including termination of employment by the Company due to a divestiture, each as determined in the Committee's sole discretion, or (ii) a Qualifying Retirement or death, the Participant shall be entitled to the same payments under the Award to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Participant's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and such Award shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, subject to paragraph 2.C. hereof; provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a lesser Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Payout Date (as defined in paragraph 2.C.) is more than six (6) months after the termination date, the Participant shall surrender all unvested Restricted Stock Units and, in exchange therefore, the Participant will receive a cash payment equal in value to the Award to which the Participant would have been entitled had the Participant's employment continued through the Vesting Date, and such cash payment shall be paid as soon as practicable following the Participant's termination date. For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of any cash to be paid in lieu of Common Stock shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which it is paid.

**Exchange Control Restrictions.** To facilitate compliance with any applicable laws or regulations in the PRC, the Participant agrees to the sale of any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the Award. The sale will occur (i) immediately upon vesting and settlement of the Award, (ii) following the Participant's termination of employment with the Employer, the Company or a Subsidiary, or (iii) within any other time frame as the Company determines to be necessary to facilitate compliance with local regulatory requirements. The Participant further agrees that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on the Participant's behalf pursuant to this authorization) and the Participant expressly authorizes the Company's designated broker to complete the sale of such shares. The Participant acknowledges that the Company's designated

------

broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares at any particular price. Upon the sale of the shares, the Company agrees to pay the Participant the cash proceeds from the sale, less any brokerage fees or commissions and subject to any obligation to satisfy Tax-Related Items. The Participant agrees that the payment of the cash proceeds will be subject to the repatriation requirements described below.

The Participant further agrees that any shares to be issued to the Participant shall be deposited directly into an account with the Company's designated broker. The deposited shares shall not be transferable (either electronically or in certificate form) from the brokerage account. This limitation shall apply both to transfers to different accounts with the same broker and to transfers to other brokerage firms. The limitation shall apply to all shares issued to the Participant under the Plan, whether or not the Participant continues to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. If the Participant sells shares issued upon vesting and settlement of the Award, the repatriation requirements described below shall apply.

The Participant understands and agrees that, if he or she is subject to exchange control laws and regulations in the PRC (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion), the Participant will be required to repatriate the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and any dividends or Dividend Equivalents received in relation to the shares to the PRC. The Participant further understands that, under local law, such repatriation of his or her cash proceeds may need to be effectuated through a special exchange control account established by the Company, a Subsidiary or the Employer, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that any proceeds from the sale of any shares, dividends or Dividend Equivalents the Participant receives may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to the Participant. The Participant also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company's designated brokerage firm) to effectuate such transfers and shall otherwise cooperate with the Company with respect to exchange control matters. The proceeds may be paid to the Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company's discretion.

**Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgement.** In accepting the Award, the Participant expressly recognizes that PPG Industries, Inc., with registered offices at One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15272, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that the Participant's participation in the Plan and acquisition of shares of Common Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between the Participant and PPG Industries, Inc. since the Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and the Participant's sole Employer is PPG INDUSTRIES de MEXICO S.A. de C.V. or Grupo Comex, S.A. de C.V ("PPG-Mexico"). Based on the foregoing, the Participant expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that the Participant may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between the Participant and the Employer, PPG-Mexico, and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by PPG-Mexico and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant's employment.

The Participant further understands that the Participant's participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of PPG Industries, Inc.; therefore, PPG Industries, Inc. reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue the Participant's participation at any time without any liability to the Participant.

Finally, the Participant hereby declares that the Participant does not reserve to the Participant any action or right to bring any claim against PPG Industries, Inc. for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and the Participant therefore grants a full and broad release to PPG Industries, Inc., its affiliates, branches, representation offices, its shareholders, directors, officers, agents or legal representatives with respect to any claim that may arise.

**Securities Law Notice.** Warning: This is an offer of rights to receive shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The shares of Common Stock, once acquired, will give the Participant a stake in the ownership of the Company. The Participant may receive a return if dividends are paid on the shares of Common Stock. If the Company runs into financial difficulties and is wound up, the Participant will be paid only after all creditors have been paid. The Participant may lose some or all of his or her investment.

New Zealand law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors to make an informed decision. The usual rules do not apply to this offer because it is made under an employee share scheme. As a result, the Participant may not be given all the information usually required. The Participant will also have fewer other legal protections for this investment.

The Participant should ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing him- or herself. The shares of Common Stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Participant may be able to sell them on the New York Stock Exchange if there are interested buyers. The Participant may get less than the Participant invested. The price will depend on the demand for the shares of Common Stock.

For information on risk factors impacting the Company's business that may affect the value of the shares of Common Stock, the Participant should refer to the risk factors discussion in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and are available online at <u>www.sec.gov</u>, as well as on the Company's "Investor Center" website at <u>http://investor.ppg.com/</u>.

In accepting the Award, the Participant acknowledges that the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Company, in its sole discretion, has unilaterally and gratuitously decided to grant Awards under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Employer on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Award is granted on the assumption and condition that the Award and the shares of Common Stock issued upon settlement of the Award shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or a Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that the grant of the Award would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any grant of an Award shall be null and void.

If a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason (including termination by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause or another termination of employment caused directly or indirectly by the Company or a Subsidiary) other than as set forth in paragraph 1.M. or paragraph 1.Q, the Participant forfeits all rights to the Award.

In addition, the Participant must report the inward remittance by submitting the Foreign Exchange Transaction Form to the authorized agent. If the Participant fails to comply with these obligations, the Participant may be subject to penalties assessed by the Bank of Thailand.

**Securities Law Notice.** The Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan are being offered only to eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are in the nature of providing equity incentives to such employees. Any documents related to the Restricted Stock Units, including the Plan, Agreement, including this Appendix, and any other grant documents ("Award Documents"), are intended for distribution only to such eligible employees and must not be delivered to, or relied on by, any other person.

The Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority has no responsibility for reviewing or verifying any Award Documents or any other incidental communication materials distributed in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. Further, neither the Ministry of Economy nor the Dubai Department of Economic Development has approved the Award Documents or taken steps to verify the information set out in them, and thus, is not responsible for their content.

Participants should, as prospective stockholders, conduct their own due diligence on the securities. If the Participant does not understand the contents of the Award Documents, he or she should consult an authorized financial advisor.

**<u>United Kingdom</u>**

**Taxes.** The following supplements the Taxes paragraph of the Agreement:

------

Without limitation to the Taxes paragraph of the Agreement, the Participant agrees that the Participant is liable for all Tax-Related Items and hereby covenants to pay all such Tax-Related Items as and when requested by the Company or the Employer or by HM Revenue and Customs ("HMRC") (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority). The Participant also agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Employer against any Tax–Related Items that they are required to pay or withhold or have paid or will pay to HMRC (or any other tax authority or any other relevant authority) on the Participant's behalf.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act), the terms of the immediately foregoing provision will not apply. In such case, if the amount of any income tax due is not collected from or paid by the Participant within 90 days of the end of the UK tax year in which an event giving rise to the indemnification described above occurs, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions ("NICs") may be payable. The Participant will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which the Company or the Employer may recover from the Participant at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in this Agreement.

**<u>Uruguay</u>**

There are no country-specific provisions.

**<u>Vietnam</u>**

**Settlement.** Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant is not entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units due to exchange control regulations in Vietnam. This means that upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at vesting, less any Tax-Related Items, which will be remitted to the Participant via local payroll. Any references in the Plan and this Agreement to the issuance of shares shall not apply to the Participant.

**<u>NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT</u>**

This NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of the date first written above by and between PPG Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and #ParticipantName+C# (the "Participant").

The Company maintains the Amended and Restated PPG Industries, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan"), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant, a non-employee Director of the Company, has been selected by the Board of Directors to receive an Award under the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan or the Grant Notice (as defined below).

The Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be confirmed by a separate Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached ("Grant Notice"), specifying the Date of Grant of the Award, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted and the terms and conditions applicable to the vesting or forfeiture of such Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent in value of a share of Common Stock. Such Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, and such Grant Notice shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Terms and Conditions of the Award</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions applicable to the Award of Restricted Stock Units confirmed in the Grant Notice. The Award of Restricted Stock Units is made under Article VII of the Plan. Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are vested in the manner set forth in the Grant Notice and paragraph 2.A. hereof, the Participant shall have no right to settlement of any such Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On each date that the Company pays a dividend on its Common Stock after the Date of Grant and prior to the payment of the Award, the Participant shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent on each Restricted Stock Unit subject to this Agreement. Unless prohibited under applicable law or otherwise determined by the Human Capital Management and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") in its discretion, in the event and to the extent the Participant is permitted and elects to defer payment of the Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement, the value of such Dividend Equivalents shall be automatically deferred, on behalf of the Participant, into the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors. In the event such Dividend Equivalents are not so deferred, the Dividend Equivalents shall be paid to the Participant in the same form, based on the same record date and at the same time, as such dividend is paid by the Company on its Common Stock. For purposes of the time and form of payment requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (collectively "Section 409A"), such Dividend Equivalents shall be treated separately from the Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the Date of Grant until the Restricted Stock Units become vested or are forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Grant Notice and this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement shall be reflected in a bookkeeping account maintained by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to settlement of any vested Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. The Company's obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no special or separate fund shall be established, and no other segregation of assets shall be made, and the Participant shall have no greater rights than an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except as otherwise

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

specifically provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of this Award unless and until such Award is determined to be vested and resulting shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant. In addition, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which Common Stock is then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Provisions Applicable to Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Awards</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon attainment of the Vesting Date (as defined in the Grant Notice) without a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units, and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to the issuance of the Restricted Stock Units (including the payment by the Participant of all applicable Tax-Related Items as defined in paragraph 7), the Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under this Agreement shall be settled by issuance to the Participant of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth in the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant with respect to his or her Award shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange and any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any stock certificates for such shares making appropriate references to such legal restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and except in the event the Participant is permitted and has made an election to defer payout of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the Company, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph 2 will be delivered within thirty (30) days following the Vesting Date and in any event in the calendar year that includes the Vesting Date. Payout of Restricted Stock Units that have been deferred shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the deferral election form. In addition, any distribution that becomes due under the terms of this Agreement will be delayed in the following circumstances: (i) if the Company reasonably anticipates that the distribution will violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law, provided that the distribution is made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the distribution will no longer cause such violation; or (ii) upon such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Continuing Conditions</u>. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Participant, by execution of this Agreement, agrees and acknowledges that in return for the Award granted by the Company in this Agreement, the following continuing conditions shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If at any time prior to the Vesting Date or within one (1) year after the Vesting Date, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Participant engages in any activity in competition with any activity of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board, including, but not limited to: (i) conduct related to the Participant's service as a Director of the Company for which either criminal or civil penalties against the Participant may be sought; (ii) violation of Company (or Subsidiary) code of ethics or similar policy ; (iii) accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, advisor or in any other capacity to an employer that is in competition with or acting against the interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including employing or recruiting any present, former or future employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) disclosing or misusing any confidential information or material concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (v) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then this Award shall terminate effective as of the date on which the Participant enters into such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement, and any "Award Gain" realized by the Participant shall be paid by the Participant to the Company. "Award Gain" shall mean the cash and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to paragraph 2 on the date of such delivery times the number of shares so delivered. Any shares of Common Stock deferred by the Participant shall be considered to have been delivered for the purpose of this paragraph 3.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By accepting this Agreement, the Participant consents to a deduction from any amounts the Company or any of its Subsidiaries owes the Participant from time to time (including amounts owed the Participant as a retainer, wages or other compensation, fringe benefits or vacation pay, as well as any other amounts owed to the Participant by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), to the extent of the amounts payable to the Company by the Participant under paragraph 3.A. above and permitted under Section 409A of the Code. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount payable by the Participant, calculated as set forth above, the Participant agrees to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company.

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Award Subject to Plan Provisions</u>. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grant Notice or this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, including, without limitation, Article XI. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and either the Grant Notice or the Plan, the Grant Notice or Plan, as applicable, shall control over this Agreement.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Applicable Law; Entire Agreement; Venue</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without reference to any choice of law principles. The Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan contain all terms and conditions with respect to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Award or this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, or other federal courts for the United States for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and no other courts, where this Award of Restricted Stock Units is made and/or to be performed. The parties agree that, if suit is filed in Allegheny County courts, application will be made by one or both parties, without objection, to have the case heard in the Center for Commercial and Complex Litigation of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County.

6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Further Assurances</u>. The Participant agrees, upon demand of the Company or the Committee, to do all acts and execute, deliver and perform all additional documents, instruments and agreements (including, without limitation, stock powers with respect to shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise distributed in relation to the Restricted Stock Units) which may be reasonably required by the Company or the Committee, as the case may be, to implement the provisions and purposes of the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan.

7.<u>Taxes</u>. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary retaining the Participant (the "Service Recipient") take with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state, and local tax and/or non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by the Participant is and remains the Participant's responsibility and that the Company and/or the Service Recipient (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the conversion of the Restricted Stock Units into shares or the receipt of an equivalent cash payment, the subsequent sale of any shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Units and the receipt of any dividends or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Award to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Service Recipient to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.

In this regard, the Company will withhold in shares of Common Stock upon the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

which case, the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by one or a combination of the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) arranging for the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Award (on the Participant's behalf and at the Participant's direction pursuant to this authorization) and withholding from the cash proceeds; and /or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) withholding from any wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Service Recipient or from any equivalent cash payment received in connection with the Award.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participant's jurisdictions(s). In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding a number of shares as described herein, the Participant shall be deemed, for tax purposes only, to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to the vested portion of the Award, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Award. The Participant shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that is required to be withheld or accounted for in connection with the Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver to the Participant any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8.<u>Transfer Restrictions</u>. This Award and the Restricted Stock Units are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Award shall immediately become null and void and the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.

9.<u>Capitalization Adjustments</u>. The number of Restricted Stock Units awarded is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.07(a) of the Plan. The Participant shall be notified of such adjustment and such adjustment shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.

10.<u>Securities Law Compliance</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Participant upon vesting of this Restricted Stock Unit Award unless the Common Stock is then registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or, if such Common Stock is not then so registered, the Company has determined that such vesting and issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. By accepting this Award, the Participant agrees not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock received under this Award at a time when the applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale.

11.<u>Award Confers No Rights to Continued Service</u>. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall give the Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect the right of any such service recipient to terminate the Participant's service.

12.<u>Severability</u>. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

13.<u>Waiver</u>. The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

------

14.<u>Electronic Delivery and Acceptance</u>. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Award or future awards under the Plan by electronic means or request the Participant's consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

15.<u>Code Section 409A</u>. It is the intent that the Restricted Stock Units shall be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted in accordance with this intent. The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify this Agreement as may be necessary to ensure that all vesting or payouts provided under this Agreement are made in a manner that complies with Section 409A or to mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A if compliance is not practical; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that nothing in this paragraph 15 creates an obligation on the part of the Company to modify the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, and the Company makes no representation that the terms of the Restricted Stock Units will comply with Section 409A or that payments under the Restricted Stock Units will not be subject to taxes, interest and penalties or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates be liable to any party for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Participant by Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.

The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Amendment. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 9.05. <u>Divisions</u>. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction's laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

In the case of any Term Loan Borrowing that the related Notice of Term Loan Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Term Benchmark Loans, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Term Loan Borrowing for such Term Loan Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (other than loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Term Loans to be made by such Lender as part of such Term Loan Borrowing when such Term Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Term Loan Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing, in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to Term Loans comprising such Term Loan Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate in the case of Term Loans denominated in Euro.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loans to be made by it as part of any Term Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loans on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loans to be made by such other Lender on the date of such Term Loan Borrowing.

Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower's accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)All computations of interest based on the Base Rate, when determined on the basis of the Prime Rate, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Base Rate when not determined on the basis of the Prime Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, Overnight Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in each case of Term Loans denominated in Euro where market practice differs, in accordance with market

------

practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term Benchmark Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Term Loans denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Term Loans denominated in Euro.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into the required currencies, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12; <u>provided</u> that the Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower, such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange unless such loss, cost or expense or such failure is the result of fraudulent acts or omissions, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent; and <u>provided,</u> <u>further</u>, that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.12(f) except to the extent such losses, costs or expenses arose as a result of fraudulent acts or omissions, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)If, and for so long as, any Defaulting Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(e), 2.12(e) or 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender under this Agreement for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender's obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 10.13. <u>Taxes</u>. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, <u>excluding</u>, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its overall

------

net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents being hereinafter referred to as "<u>Taxes</u>"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In addition, the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of and shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder (hereinafter referred to as "<u>Other Taxes</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. For purposes of subsection (e) below, the terms "<u>United States</u>" and "<u>United States person</u>" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. Without limiting any of the above, if any Lender would be entitled to

------

claim, with respect to a payment from the Borrower that is a United States person, as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, or that is otherwise a United States-source payment, the benefits of the exemption from United States withholding tax for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881 (c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of PPG within the meaning of section 881 (c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881 (c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the Effective Date by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.13(e) (<u>other</u> <u>than</u> if such failure is due to a Change in Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States of America solely by reason of such failure; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. "FATCA" means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof and any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

SECTION 10.14. <u>Sharing of Payments, Etc.</u> If any Term Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Term Loans owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13 or 9.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Term Loans obtained by all the Term Lenders, such Term Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Term Lenders such participations in the Term Loans owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Term Lender to share the excess payment

------

ratably with each of them; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Term Lender, such purchase from each Term Lender shall be rescinded and such Term Lender shall repay to the purchasing Term Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Term Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Term Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Term Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Term Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered and (b) the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) (including Sections 2.17 and 2.19). The Borrower agrees that any Term Lender so purchasing a participation from another Term Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Term Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 10.15. <u>Evidence of Debt</u>. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Term Loans owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Term Loans. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Loans owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each borrowing, continuation or Conversion of Term Loans made hereunder, the Type of Term Loans resulting from such borrowing, continuation or Conversion and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be <u>prima</u> <u>facie</u> evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.16. <u>Use of Proceeds</u>. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to pay fees, costs and expenses related to the Agreement. The Borrower agrees that it shall apply the proceeds of the Term Loans in compliance with all applicable laws.

SECTION 10.17. <u>Defaulting Lenders</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.01); <u>provided</u> that this clause (a) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)any fees payable to any such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents shall cease to accrue on the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)the Defaulting Lender will not be deemed to be an Eligible Assignee (with exception to clause (c) of the definition of Defaulting Lender).

SECTION 10.18. <u>Expansion Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrower shall have the right from time to time after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date to request that additional term loans be made hereunder (such additional term loans, the "<u>Incremental Term Loans</u>") in an aggregate amount not exceeding €250,000,000 by causing one or more Additional Term Loan Lenders (which may include any existing Lender and any other additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders that are Eligible Assignees) to provide Incremental Term Loans (each such increase in the amount of Term Loans under this Agreement, a "<u>Term Loan Increase</u>"); <u>provided</u> that (i) no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to become an Additional Term Loan Lender and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender (and any Lender that does not advise the Borrower of its election to become an Additional Term Loan Lender hereunder shall be deemed to have rejected such request), (ii) each Term Loan Increase shall be in an aggregate amount for all Additional Term Loan Lenders of at least €25,000,000, and (iii) any Additional Term Loan Lender that is not an Eligible Assignee shall be approved by PPG (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which such approval shall be deemed granted if PPG does not respond to a request to consent for such approval on or before the fifth Business Day following such request. Each such Additional Term Loan Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall enter into an agreement (and "<u>Incremental Term Loan Agreement</u>") in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which each Additional Term Loan Lender shall, as of the effective date of such Term Loan Increase (which shall be a Business Day), provide an Incremental Term Loan in the amount specified therein and (if not an existing Lender) and become, and be deemed to be, a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement. Furthermore each such Incremental Term Loan shall be, and shall be deemed to be, a Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Term Loan Increase pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)the Borrower shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice of its request for any such Term Loan Increase at least three Business Days prior to the relevant effective date of such Term Loan Increase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the Administrative Agent shall have received an Incremental Term Loan Agreement executed by the Borrower, each applicable Additional Term Loan Lender in respect of such Term Loan Increase;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such effective date of such Term Loan Increase; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall be true on and as of such effective date of such Term Loan Increase with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each notice under Section 2.18(b)(i) shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower as to the matters specified in Sections 2.18(b)(iii) and (iv) as of the effective date of such Term Loan Increase.

SECTION 10.19. <u>Extension of Maturity Date</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)PPG may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request (each, an "<u>Extension Request</u>") that each Lender extend its Maturity Date for an additional one year (each, an "<u>Extension</u>"); <u>provided</u> that (A) not more than two Extension Requests may be made after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, and not more than one Extension Request may

------

be made in any period of 12 consecutive months and (B) after giving effect to any Extension, the latest Maturity Date shall not be more than three years from the Extension Effective Date with respect to such Extension. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to PPG and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20<sup>th</sup> day (or such later day as shall be acceptable to PPG) following the date of the Extension Request, advise PPG and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such Extension Request; <u>provided</u> that any Lender that does not so advise PPG shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request (any such Lender that shall have rejected or is deemed to have rejected such Extension Request being referred to as a "<u>Non-Extending Lender</u>" with respect to such Extension Request; and any such Lender that shall have agreed to such Extension Request being referred to as an "<u>Extending Lender</u>" with respect to such Extension Request). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to any Extension, and the election of any Lender to agree to any Extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If, in connection with an Extension Request, Lenders that hold at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding Term Loans shall have consented to such Extension Request, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Effective Date, the Maturity Date for each Extending Lender shall be the applicable Extended Maturity Date; <u>provided</u> that no Extension shall be effective with respect to any Lender unless (the first date on which the consent of the requisite Lenders referred to above is obtained and the conditions specified in this proviso are satisfied with respect to the applicable Extension being called the "<u>Extension Effective Date</u>" with respect to such Extension):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Effective Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)the representations and warranties of each Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct all material respects (except for those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the chief financial officer of PPG stating that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above with respect to such Extension have been satisfied; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the Administrative Agent shall have received such evidence of the authority of the Borrower to effect such Extension as it may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Except as to the Maturity Date with respect thereto, the terms of the Term Loans of the Extending Lenders shall be identical to the terms of the Term Loans of the Non-Extending Lenders, it being agreed that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, prepayments of the Term Loans hereunder shall be made ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares of the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)No consent of any parties to this Agreement shall be required to effectuate an Extension, other than (A) the requisite consent of the Lenders as set forth in Section 2.19(b) and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent referred to in this clause (B) shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Section 2.14) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Extension as contemplated by this Section 2.19.

SECTION 16.03. <u>BBVA and Affiliates</u>.

The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its

------

affiliates relating to PPG or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as Administrative Agent.

In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a third party.

SECTION 16.06. <u>Successor Administrative Agent</u>. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the existing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a financial institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and, if the Person then serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, unless and until a successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and accepted such appointment, such resignation shall nevertheless be effective and, until a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Required Lenders, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an "<u>Indemnified Party</u>") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of hazardous materials on any property of PPG or any of its Subsidiaries or any environmental action relating in any way to PPG or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that (x) the Borrower's obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for legal expenses shall be limited to the fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel to all Indemnified Parties (and, if reasonably necessary, of one firm of regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest of which PPG is notified in writing, of one additional firm of counsel (and if reasonably necessary, of one additional firm of regulatory counsel and one additional firm of local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) to the affected Indemnified Parties that are similarly situated, (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any claim, damage, loss, liability or expense to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense resulted from (I) such Indemnified Party's fraudulent acts or omissions, gross negligence or willful misconduct (II) a material breach by such Indemnified Party of its express obligations under the Loan Documents (in the case of clauses (I) and (II), as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (III) disputes solely among or between Indemnified Parties not relating to any acts or omissions by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (other than disputes against the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent or Arrangers or any similar role under this Agreement) and (z) each Indemnified Party will repay to the Borrower any such reimbursement actually received by it to the extent that it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification by virtue of clause (y). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against any other Person party to any Loan Document or any

------

of such Person's directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans; provided that, nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnified Party, as provided in this Section 9.04(b), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnified Party by a third party. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damage is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's fraudulent acts or omissions, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Indemnified Party will notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof; <u>provided</u> that the omission to so notify the Borrower does not relieve the Borrower of any liability which it may have hereunder except to the extent the Borrower was materially prejudiced by such failure. The Borrower shall have the right to assume the defense or control the settlement of any such action, suit, proceeding or claim and to select counsel with respect thereto, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Arrangers (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), <u>provided</u> that the Borrower shall not consent to any settlement of or to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such action, suit, proceeding or claim except in accordance with the provisions of the next succeeding paragraph. Notwithstanding the Borrower's right to appoint counsel to represent such Indemnified Party in any such action, suit, proceeding or claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Borrower's expense (subject to the limitations in the immediately preceding paragraph) and to participate in the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or claim as to it if (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest or such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there are defenses available to it which are in addition to or different from the defenses available to the Borrower or (b) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the consent of the Borrower; <u>provided</u> that the Borrower shall have no liability for any settlement entered into without its consent.

To the extent the Borrower has elected to assume the defense or control the settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or claim against any Indemnified Party pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, the Borrower will not, without the applicable Indemnified Party's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, suit, proceeding or claim in respect of which the Borrower has so assumed the defense or control, whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party thereto, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (a) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrong-doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If (x) any payment or prepayment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Term Benchmark Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender (i) other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan, as a result of a payment, prepayment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.09 or 2.11, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or (ii) as a result of a payment, prepayment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.09 or

------

2.11, (y) any assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan is made by any Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan as a result of a demand by PPG pursuant to Section 9.07(a) or (z) the Borrower fails for any reason (including without limitation because applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied) to borrow any Term Benchmark Loan, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, prepayment, Conversion, assignment or failure to borrow, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain the Term Loans. If the amount of Euro purchased by any Lender in the case of a Conversion or exchange of Term Loans in the case of Section 2.07 or 2.11 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such Lender's liability in respect of such Term Loans, such Lender agrees to remit to PPG such excess. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in this Section 9.04(c) delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

SECTION 17.05. <u>Right of Set-off</u>. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) either (x) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01 or (y) the automatic acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, <u>provided</u> that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

SECTION 17.06. <u>Binding Effect</u>. This Agreement shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01 and after it shall have been executed by PPG and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 17.07. <u>Assignments and Participations</u>. (a) Each Lender may and, if demanded by PPG will (following (x) a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.13 or (y) a failure by such Lender to sign, if the Required Lenders have delivered such signature on or prior to such scheduled date, any proposed amendment, waiver or consent to this Agreement or the Notes requiring, pursuant to Section 9.01, the signature of all Lenders), upon at least two Business Days' notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent (which notice period may be reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than

------

€10,000,000 (in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or $10,000,000 (in the case of Base Rate Loans) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, PPG, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by PPG pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) shall (x) be an assignment of all of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all of such Lender's the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) and (y) be arranged by PPG after receipt of the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by PPG pursuant to this Section 9.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment, (unless the assignee is already a Lender hereunder) an Administrative Questionnaire for the assignee and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the parties to each such assignment, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in the case of each assignment made as a result of a demand by PPG, such recordation fee shall be payable by PPG except that no such recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment made at the request of PPG to an Eligible Assignee that is an existing Lender, and (vii) any Lender may, without the approval of PPG, assign all or a portion of its rights to any of its Affiliates. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (other than its obligations under Section 8.05 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of PPG, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Term Loan Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest on) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), any Defaulting Lender, PPG or any of PPG's Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 9.04(c) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.07(a); provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 9.07(a) as if it were an assignee under Section 9.07(a); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to PPG furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of PPG; <u>provided</u> that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to PPG received by it from such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Term Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board or to any other central bank; <u>provided</u> that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "<u>Granting Lender</u>") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "<u>SPC</u>"), upon the identification as such in writing from time to time by such Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and PPG and upon the prior written consent of PPG in its sole and absolute discretion, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of the Term Loans that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; <u>provided</u> that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Term Loans and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loans, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loans pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Term Loan Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent and as if such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with such Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.07, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, PPG and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by PPG and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section 9.07(h) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.

SECTION 17.08. <u>Confidentiality</u>. Neither the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of PPG, other than (a) to the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates and to their and their Affiliates' officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors; (b) as contemplated by Section 9.07(f), to actual or prospective assignees and participants, or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations (<u>provided</u>, such assignees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 9.08 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 9.08) in each case only on a confidential need-to-know basis; (c) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process; (d) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking or financial institutions (including any self-regulatory authority); (e) to any other party hereto; (f) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) with the consent of PPG; (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.08, (ii) is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis

------

from a source other than the Borrower; and (i) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Term Loans, (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Term Loans or (z) data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

SECTION 17.09. <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 17.10. <u>Execution in Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., "pdf" or "tif") format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 17.11. <u>Judgment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at its principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Euro into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Euro with Dollars at its principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the "<u>Primary Currency</u>") to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

SECTION 17.12. <u>Jurisdiction, Etc.</u>. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding to which PPG is a party in any case arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower hereby consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest

------

extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 17.13. <u>Substitution of Currency</u>. If a change with respect to Euro occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multinational authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with PPG) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change with respect to Euro had occurred.

SECTION 17.14. <u>[Reserved]</u>.

SECTION 17.15. <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

SECTION 17.16. <u>USA PATRIOT ACT</u>. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title iii of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "<u>PATRIOT Act</u>") and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 17.17. <u>No Fiduciary Duty</u>. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the "<u>Lenders</u>"), may have economic interests that conflict with those of each of the Borrower, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 17.18. <u>Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its

------

parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 17.19. <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for hedging agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and each such QFC a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

SECTION 17.20. <u>Electronic Execution of Loan Documents</u>. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
