Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Key Executive LTIP or the Executive Officers’ LTIP, as the context dictates, or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Such Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such Grant Notice shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

  C.   If the Participant is deemed to be a Covered Employee as of the last day of an Award Period, the Participant’s Award for that Award Period will be made under the Executive Officers’ LTIP; provided , that: (1) Awards under the Executive Officers’ LTIP will only be made if the Committee certifies that the Award Goals set forth in the Grant Notice have been achieved, and (2) the Committee reserves the right to exercise negative discretion in reducing or eliminating any Award that would otherwise be payable. If the Participant is not deemed to be a “Covered Employee,” the Participant’s Award will be made under the Key Executive LTIP; provided , that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the amount of an Award Goal during an Award Period for any such Participant. The LTIP that is determined to be applicable to the Participant under the provision set forth above is referred to in this agreement as the “applicable LTIP.”

  D.   On each date that the Company pays a dividend on its Common Stock during the Award Period, the Participant shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent on each TSR Share in the Participant’s TSR Account. Unless prohibited under applicable law or otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion, the value of such Dividend Equivalents shall be automatically deferred, on behalf of the Participant, into the PPG Stock Account of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

  E.   If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates during the Award Period but after the first anniversary of the Grant Date because of retirement or Disability (as determined in accordance with the applicable LTIP) or job elimination, the Participant shall be entitled to the same Award to which the Participant would have been entitled has the Participant’s employment continued to the end of the Award Period; provided , however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a lesser Award.

  F.   If the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates during the Award Period for any reason other than retirement, Disability, job elimination or death, or for any reason before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Participant’s Award shall be forfeited on the date of such termination; provided , however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Participant will be entitled to a full or partial payment with respect to the Award.

  G.   Promptly following the end of the Award Period, the Committee shall determine the extent, if any, to which the applicable Award Goals have been attained and the extent, if any, to which the Award has been earned by the Participant. The Committee shall have the negative discretion to reduce or eliminate any payment for the Award.

  H.   The Award shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable LTIP concerning Change in Control of the Company.

2.  Payment on Account of Awards .

SUMMARY
OF
COMPENSATION
AND
BENEFITS

The following is a summary of the compensation and benefits provided to non-employee members of the Board of Directors of PPG Industries, Inc.

 
 
Retainers and Meeting Fees
 

Each non-employee Director will receive an annual retainer of $90,000. An additional annual retainer is paid to the Chairperson of the following committees as indicated below:

         
Committee   Retainer
Audit
  $ 7,500  
Nominating
  $ 5,000  
O-D Compensation
  $ 5,000  
Investment

Deferred Compensation
 

The PPG Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors gives each non-employee Director the opportunity to defer receipt of all or any portion of the compensation each such Director earns as a Director until such Director leaves the Board. Each non-employee Director’s Plan account is credited in the form of stock equivalents with the amount of compensation that is deferred and such stock equivalents are credited with dividend equivalents as and to the extent dividends are declared in respect of PPG’s common stock.

For compensation deferred prior to January 1, 2005, each non-employee Director may elect to receive payment of such Director’s account balance in one to fifteen annual installments after leaving the Board of Directors. For compensation deferred on or after January 1, 2005, each Director’s account balance will be paid out in a lump sum six months after such Director leaves the Board. Distributions are made in the form of PPG Common Stock. In the event of a Director’s death, payment will be made to such Director’s beneficiary.

 
 
stock options
 

Each non-employee Director receives an annual Stock Option Grant of 2,500 option shares. Grants are made on the date of the February Officers-Directors Compensation Committee (ODCC) meeting, and the exercise price is the closing price for that day. Each option grant is exercisable three years after the date of the grant and has a 10-year term. Options granted prior to January 1, 2004, are exercisable one year after the date of the grant and have a 10-year term.

 
 
stock ownership
 

PPG has established Stock Ownership Guidelines for all Directors effective January 1, 2005. All Directors must own 5,000 shares of PPG stock. Directors can achieve this requirement by either deferring a portion of their compensation to the Deferred Compensation Plan or by certifying ownership of shares in personal brokerage accounts.

dividend reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
 

The Investor Services Program provides all PPG Shareholders with a convenient way to reinvest dividends and purchase additional shares of PPG common stock without having to pay brokerage commissions or service charges. If a non-employee Director holds any shares of PPG common stock, such Director is eligible to participate in the Plan at any time.

All shares that are purchased through this Plan are held by the Plan Administrator and earn dividends. A statement of account is mailed to Plan participants after each dividend payment date, and each participant is entitled to vote the shares held in the Plan on their behalf. Participants may also withdraw shares held in the Plan.

 
 
Insurance Coverage
 

Each non-employee Director is provided with liability coverage for claims against such Directors relating to their service as a PPG director, accidental death and dismemberment insurance coverage and aircraft travel insurance coverage.

 
 
Directors’ Charitable Award Plan
 

Non-employee Directors who were elected prior to July 17, 2003, are eligible to participate in the Directors’ Charitable Award Plan. Under the provisions of this Plan, PPG makes a charitable contribution of $1,000,000 in the name of each non-employee Director at the time of their death.

 
 
Matching Gifts
 

The PPG Industries Foundation Matching Gift Program enhances personal charitable giving by PPG non-employee Directors by matching contributions to eligible institutions. Contributions must be a minimum of $25 up to a total of $10,000 per year. Eligible institutions include colleges or universities, private secondary schools, cultural institutions, and organizations serving exceptional children.
