ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

SECTION 2.01. The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make an Advance denominated in Dollars to any Borrower in a single draw on the Effective Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The Borrowing shall consist of Advances of the same Type. Advances borrowed under this Section 2.01 and prepaid or repaid may not be reborrowed. Advances may be Base Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as further provided herein. All Commitments shall be terminated upon the making of the Advances under this Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances . (a) The Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or (y) 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. The notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) may be by telephone, but shall be confirmed immediately in writing or telecopier in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, initial Interest Period and currency for each such Advance. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds from the Lenders and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower that requested

such Advance to an account of such Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address referred to in Section 9.02 and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Eurocurrency Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than six separate Borrowings.

(d) In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower giving such Notice 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 Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, 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 such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

SECTION 2.03. Fees. PPG shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between PPG and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.04. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.05. Repayment. Each Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of its Advances then outstanding.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Advances.

(a) Scheduled Interest. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender by such Borrower from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in respect of Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(iii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in respect of Eurocurrency Rate Advances in effect from time to time payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months, from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require each Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender by such Borrower, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder by such Borrower that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above; provided, however, that, following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder upon demand.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Rate Determination. (a) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the applicable Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Each Lender shall certify its cost of funds for each Interest Period to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than ten Business Days after the first day of such period).

(b) If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended.

SECTION 2.08. Optional Conversion of Advances. Any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.11, Convert all Advances made to it denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency

Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice.

SECTION 2.09. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Any Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given such Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(b) Each prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05 and this Section 2.09 shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to any Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.10 any such increased costs resulting from (1) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.13 shall govern) and (2) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States of America or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then each Borrower shall from time to time, 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 additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Advances to the Borrowers, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Advances to the Borrowers. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that

it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each such Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.06(a)(i), and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

SECTION 2.12. Payments and Computations. (a) (i) the Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder, without counterclaim or set-off, with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds, and (ii) the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.10, 2.13 or 9.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 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.

(b) Each 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 such Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, 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.

(d) 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; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such 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 such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, as the case may be, 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 the Federal Funds Rate.

(f) To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any 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; provided that each 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 such 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 provided, further, that each Borrower, jointly and severally with each other 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.

SECTION 2.13. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of each 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, excluding, 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 “Taxes”). If any 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) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally 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 “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally 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 of any kind 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 any Borrower by such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrowers 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. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or any other documents to be delivered hereunder by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the applicable Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e) below, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) 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 Borrowers (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers 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; provided, however, 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 any 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 date hereof 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 Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.13(e) (other than 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; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) 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.

(h) 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 Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers 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 2.14. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set‑off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances 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 Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another 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 Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance 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 Advances. Each Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to such 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 Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such 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 Advance made by such Lender.

(b) 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 made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing 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 each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) 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 prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable 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; provided, however, 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 any Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of PPG and its Subsidiaries (which may include payments in connection with the settlement of asbestos litigation). Each Borrower agrees that it shall use the proceeds of the Advances in compliance with all applicable laws.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01. Conditions Precedent. The obligations of the Lenders to make Advances shall not become effective until the first date (the “Effective Date”) on which all of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

(a) There shall have occurred no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of PPG and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole since December 31, 2015.

(i) mortgages on property of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary;

(ii) mortgages on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or to secure any Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of or within 90 days after the acquisition of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof;

(iv) mortgages on property in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any other country, or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, to secure payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such mortgages;

(v) mortgages which secure Indebtedness owing to PPG or a Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary by a Subsidiary of PPG; and

(vi) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (v), inclusive, or of any Indebtedness secured thereby; provided that such extension, renewal or replacement mortgage shall be limited to all or any part of the same property that secured the mortgage extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

As used in clauses (i) through (vi) above, the terms “mortgage” or “mortgages” shall include pledges, liens, and security interests.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02(c), PPG and any one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may, without equally and ratably securing the Advances, issue, assume, guarantee, create or incur Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if, after giving effect to the Secured Debt to be issued, assumed, guaranteed, created or incurred, the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of all such Secured Debt of PPG and its Restricted Subsidiaries (not including Secured Debt permitted under clauses (i) through (vi) above) and (b) the aggregate value of the Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 5.02(d)) in existence at such time (except Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which have been applied in accordance with Section 5.02(d)(i)(B)) does not exceed 5% of the Shareholders’ Interest.

(d) Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks and Transfers of Assets to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(i) Enter into any arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor, or to which any such lender or investor is a party, providing for the leasing to PPG or such Restricted Subsidiary of any real property (except a lease for a temporary period not to exceed three years by the end of which it is intended that the use of such real property by the lessee will be discontinued) which has been or is to be sold or transferred by PPG or such Restricted Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such real property (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) unless either:

(A) PPG or such Restricted Subsidiary could create Secured Debt secured by a mortgage, in accordance with Section 5.02(c), on the real property to be leased, in an amount equal to the value (as hereinafter defined) of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Advances, or

(B) PPG applies (and in any case PPG covenants that it will apply) within 120 days after the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, regardless of whether such Sale and Leaseback Transaction may have been made by PPG or by a Restricted Subsidiary, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the real property leased pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and (ii) the fair value of the real property so leased at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (as determined by the board of directors of PPG) to the retirement of Funded Debt of PPG; provided that the amount to be applied to the retirement of Funded Debt of PPG shall be reduced by

(1) the principal amount of any Advances outstanding on the date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction repaid by PPG within 120 days after such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, and

(2) the principal amount of Funded Debt, other than Advances, voluntarily retired by PPG within 120 days after such sale;

provided that no repayment or retirement referred to in this clause (B) may be effected by payment at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or any mandatory prepayment provision.

For purposes of this Section 5.02(d) and Section 5.02(c), the term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time, the amount

equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of the sale of the real property leased pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and (ii) the fair value of the real property so leased at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (as determined by the board of directors of PPG), divided first by the number of full years in the term of the lease and then multiplied by the number of full years of such term remaining at the time of determination, without regard to any renewal or extension options contained in the lease.

(ii) Transfer any assets which, in the reasonable opinion of the board of directors of PPG, constitute a major manufacturing or research property, plant or facility of PPG and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(e) Margin Stock. Purchase or hold any Margin Stock if more than 25% of the value of its assets (as defined in said Regulation U) is or would be represented by Margin Stock.

(f) Accounting Changes. Make or permit any change in accounting policies or reporting practices, except as required or permitted by United States or applicable foreign generally accepted accounting principles or by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or any similar foreign governmental agency or instrumentality.

(g) Change in Nature of Business. Change the primary nature of its business from manufacturing and selling coatings and related products.

(h) Anti-Corruption and Sanctions Laws. No Borrower will request any Advance, and no Borrower shall use, and each Borrower shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Advance, directly or indirectly, (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country or (C) in any other manner that would constitute or give rise to a violation of any Sanctions by any party hereto.

(i) Amendments to Revolving Credit Agreement and Other Term Loan Agreement. If any amendment or modification to either the Revolving Credit Agreement and related loan documents (or the entering into of any agreement that has a similar effect) or the Other Term Loan Agreement and related loan documents (or the entering into of any agreement that has a similar effect) adds any new or makes more restrictive any events of default, representations, warranties or covenants (other than with respect to provisions specific to revolving credit facility provided under the Revolving Credit Agreement), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Borrowers will enter into an amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (or enter into new Loan Documents) to make corresponding changes to such Loan Document to provide for such additional covenants, representations, warranties or events of default or such more restrictive events of default, representations, warranties or covenants, as the case may be.

(h) A proceeding shall have been instituted in a court having jurisdiction in the premises seeking a decree or order for relief in respect of any Borrower in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or other similar official) for any substantial part of its property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such proceeding shall remain undismissed

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

ARTICLE VII

GUARANTY

SECTION 7.01. Guaranty. PPG hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Borrower now or hereafter existing under or in respect of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PPG’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which such other Borrower is a party but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Borrower. The obligations of PPG under this Section 7.01 constitute a guaranty of payments and not of collection.

SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. PPG guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of PPG under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement and the applicable Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against PPG to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower or whether any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of PPG under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and PPG hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose to any Borrower any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Borrower now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (PPG waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information);

(g) the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;

(h) the enactment of any exchange controls in the jurisdiction of any Subsidiary or any Governmental Authority thereof, or the occurrence of any adverse political or economic development in the jurisdiction of any Subsidiary; or

(i) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. PPG hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of PPG’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Borrower or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to PPG in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (b) the Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of PPG and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) PPG shall make payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, at PPG’s request and expense, execute and deliver to PPG appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to PPG of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by PPG pursuant to this Guaranty.

SECTION 7.05. Subordination. PPG hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to PPG by each other Borrower (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.05:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower), PPG may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower), however, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, PPG shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower, PPG agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before PPG receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower), PPG shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of PPG under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Borrower), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of PPG, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require PPG (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

SECTION 7.06. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (ii) the Termination Date, (b) be binding upon PPG, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Administrative Agent or such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07.

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action. Each of the Lenders hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by PPG or any other Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the Lender that made any Advance as the holder of the Indebtedness

resulting therefrom until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents on the part of any Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier or telegram) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 8.03. BNP and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Note issued to it, if any, BNP shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include BNP in its individual capacity. BNP and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, PPG, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of PPG or any such Subsidiary, all as if BNP were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 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.

SECTION 8.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01(c) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Advances then owed to each of them, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Administrative Agent’s fraudulent acts or omissions, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and provided, further, that the obligations of each Lender that shall cease to be a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.07 shall terminate on the date of the applicable assignment except to the extent any claim hereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand

for its ratable share of any out‑of‑pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. 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 8.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers 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 Borrowers. 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. 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.07. Other Agents. Each party hereto acknowledges that the sole lead arranger has no liability hereunder acting in such capacity.

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 any 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. Each Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective 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 Advances.

signature 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 five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, 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 its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, 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 Commitment 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 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 Commitment, the Advances 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 Borrowers or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances 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, provided, however, 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).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or

representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) 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 Borrowers.

(d) 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 Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest on) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, 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 Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than PPG or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers hereunder) 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 Borrowers, 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 any 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 Borrowers, 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 Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided 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 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 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.

(f) 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; provided 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.

(g) 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 Advances 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 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to any other central bank; provided 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.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), 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 any Borrower all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent and as if such Advance 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 Advances 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 Advances and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Advances 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 9.08. Confidentiality. None of 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 their 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 Borrowers and their obligations (provided, 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 a 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 a Borrower; and (i) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection with rating a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Advances, (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Advances or (z) data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.10. Execution in Counterparts. 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 telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.11. Judgment. (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.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any other currency 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 such other currency 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.

(c) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) 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, each 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 such Borrower such excess.

SECTION 9.12. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) (i) 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 or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof is a party and (ii) each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive 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 any Borrower not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof is a party, in each of the cases referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) 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 Borrowers hereby consent 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 such 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.

(b) 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 9.13. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 9.14. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 9.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, 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 9.16. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies each 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 “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with said Act.

SECTION 9.17. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of each of the Borrowers, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each 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 any Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each of the Borrowers 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 each 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 any 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 any Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any 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 any Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such 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. Each 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 such Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(iv) of that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 27, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”) among PPG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the Initial Lenders named therein (the “Lenders”), and BNP Paribas Securities Corp., as Sole Lead Arranger. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

I have acted as counsel to PPG in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement. In that connection, I have examined, or caused to be examined, the following:

(1) The Credit Agreement signed by each of the parties thereto.

(2) The documents furnished by PPG pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(3) The Restated Articles of Incorporation of PPG and all amendments thereto as in effect as of the date hereof (the “Charter”).

(4) The Amended and Restated Bylaws of PPG as in effect as of the date hereof (the “Bylaws”).

(5) A certificate of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, dated May 27, 2016, attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of PPG in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

(6) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company dated September 19, 2013 and December 10, 2015.

(7) Resolutions of Executive Committee of the Company dated October 10, 2013.

(8) The Fee Letter dated May 27, 2016 from BNP Paribas Securities Corp and BNP Paribas to PPG Industries, Inc. executed in connection with the Credit Agreement.

I have also examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such other corporate records of PPG, certificates of public officials and of officers and representatives of PPG, and agreements, instruments and other documents, as I have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, I have relied upon certificates

of public officials and of officers and representatives of PPG. In addition, I have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, the representations and warranties made in the Credit Agreement.

In rendering the opinions below, I have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of the Credit Agreement by each party thereto other than PPG, the genuineness of all signatures of parties other than PPG, the legal capacity of all natural persons other than officers or representatives of PPG, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to original documents and authenticity of all documents submitted to me as duplicates or certified or conformed copies.

My opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Federal law of the United States.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set for herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. PPG (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and (b) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Credit Agreement.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by PPG of the Credit Agreement and the Fee Letter, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, are within PPG’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) the Charter or the Bylaws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to PPG (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iii) to the best of my knowledge, any contractual or legal restriction contained in any document binding upon PPG.

3. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Federal or Pennsylvania governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for (a) the due execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement or the Fee Letter, (b) the borrowings by PPG in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or (c) the performance by PPG of its payment obligations under the Credit Agreement.

4. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Credit Agreement or the Fee Letter in any court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or in any Federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, such court would likely recognize and give effect to the provisions of Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement, wherein the parties thereto agree that the Credit Agreement and the Fee Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or a Federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania would likely apply the usury law of the State of New York, and would likely not apply the usury law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to the Credit Agreement and the Fee Letter. However, if a court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or a Federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania were to hold that the Credit Agreement and the Fee Letter are governed by, and to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Credit Agreement and the Fee Letter would be, under the laws of the Commonwealth

of Pennsylvania, legal, valid and binding obligations of PPG enforceable against PPG in accordance with their respective terms.

5. To the best of my knowledge, except for the Disclosed Matters, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings against PPG or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Fee Letter or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or that are likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

(a) My opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(b) My opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) I express no opinion as to (i) Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement insofar as it provides that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant thereto may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation and (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of the Credit Agreement or the Fee Letter may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

Very truly yours,

The Lenders Listed on Schedule 1 attached Hereto

Re: PPG Industries, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to PPG Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 27, 2016 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), the Initial Lenders named therein (the “Lenders”), and BNP Paribas Securities Corp., as Sole Lead Arranger. The Credit Agreement provides for term loans (the “Transaction” or the “Loans”) from the Lenders to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000. We are delivering this opinion letter to you at the Company’s request pursuant to Section 3.01(h)(iv) of the Credit Agreement. This opinion letter has been prepared and should be understood in accordance with the Legal Opinion Principles, 53 Xxx.Xxx. 831 (1998), and Guidelines for the Preparation of Closing Opinions, 57 Xxx.Xxx. 875 (2002), of the Committee on Legal Opinions, ABA Section of Business Law.

The following documents are referred to collectively in this opinion letter as the “Transaction Documents”:


1.	Credit Agreement


2.	Fee Letter dated May 27, 2016 between PPG Industries, Inc. and BNP Paribas

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this opinion letter have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined the Transaction Documents and have made such investigation of law as we have deemed appropriate.

For the purposes of this opinion letter we made the assumptions that each document submitted to us is accurate and complete, that each such document that is an original is authentic, that each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original and that all signatures (including signatures on behalf of the Company) on each such document are genuine. We have also assumed that the Company is a corporation duly incorporated and subsisting under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that the Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents, that the Company has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of and performance of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents, and that the Company has duly executed and delivered each of them. We have further assumed the legal capacity of natural persons, and we have assumed that each party to each of the Transaction Documents (including the Company) has the legal capacity and has satisfied all legal requirements necessary to make that Transaction Document enforceable against it, and that each Lender has complied with all state and federal

statutes, rules and regulations applicable to it arising out of the Loan or its status as lender with respect to the Transaction. We have not verified any of the foregoing assumptions.

The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are limited to the law of the State of New York that, in the case of numbered paragraphs 2 and 3 below, is limited to that which, in our experience, is applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as expressly set forth in this opinion letter, we are not opining on specialized laws that are not customarily covered in opinion letters of this kind, such as tax, insolvency, antitrust, pension, employee benefit, environmental, intellectual property, banking, insurance, labor, health and safety, and securities laws.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the foregoing and the additional qualifications and other matters set forth below, it is our opinion that:

1. Each of the Transaction Documents is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

2. The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents, the incurring and payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement, and the payments made pursuant to the Fee Letter, do not violate any applicable statute, rule, or regulation of the State of New York.

3. The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance of its payment obligations under, the Transaction Documents, and the incurring and payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement, the exercise of rights or remedies by the other parties under any Transaction Document, do not require the Company to obtain any approval by or make any filing with any governmental authority under any statute, rule, or regulation of the State of New York.

Our opinion in numbered paragraph 1 above is subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and to general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity).

The opinions above are qualified as follows: (a) insofar as provisions contained in the Transaction Documents provide for indemnification or a limitation of liability, the enforceability thereof may be limited by public policy considerations; (b) the availability of a decree for specific performance or an injunction is subject to the discretion of the court requested to issue any such decree or injunction; (c) we express no opinion herein as to any provision of the Transaction Documents (i) that relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in New York City to adjudicate any controversy related to the Transaction Documents or that waives an inconvenient forum, (ii) that constitutes a power of attorney, (iii) that relates to the waiver of rights and defenses or purports to reinstate the rights of any party after an adverse judgment has been entered against such party with respect to such rights, (iv) that purports to waive or modify a party’s obligation of good faith, fair dealing, diligence, reasonableness, or due notice, to waive equitable rights or remedies or defenses, to release a party from or against liability for the party’s own unlawful or willful misconduct, recklessness, or gross negligence, or to preclude modification of such documents through custom or course of conduct, (v) that relates to severability, or (vi) involving financial, accounting or statistical information or relating to compliance with financial covenants or financial requirements.

We are furnishing this opinion letter to you solely in connection with the Transaction. You may not rely on this opinion letter in any other connection, and it may not be furnished to or relied upon by any other person for any purpose, without our specific prior written consent, except that (a) any person who becomes a Lender or successor Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement may rely on this opinion letter as if it were addressed to such person subject to all of the assumptions and qualifications applicable to this opinion letter as rendered to you and subject further to the condition and understanding that: (i) this opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof; (ii) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this opinion letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to any party other than you, or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (iii) any such reliance must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time such person becomes a Lender, including any changes in law, facts or other developments known to or reasonably knowable by such person at such time; and (b) you may deliver a copy of this opinion letter to governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over you to the extent that disclosure of the opinion letter is required by applicable statute, rule, or regulation.

The foregoing opinions are rendered as of the date of this letter. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of our opinions to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur.

Yours truly,
