     (a) Vadlamannati, for himself, his heirs, and anyone else who would have the right to sue on his behalf or in his place (“successors and assigns”), fully and forever releases PPG, its subsidiary and affiliated companies, their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and employee benefit plans from all claims, causes of action or obligations of every nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating to Vadlamannati’s employment, termination from employment or relating to any other act, event or failure to act that has occurred before the date this Agreement is signed. Examples of the claims which Vadlamannati is giving up by signing this Agreement include, but are not limited to, claims for breach of express or implied contracts, claims of intentional wrongdoing, claims for negligent or reckless wrongdoing, and claims for violation of any federal, state or local law, including laws prohibiting employment discrimination, such as, for example, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (which is referred to hereafter as the “ADEA”).

released, like workers’ compensation claims and claims for vested benefits. If a charge of discrimination is filed with the EEOC or PHRC, however, the release in this Paragraph 5 means that Vadlamannati will not be entitled to receive any money or other individual remedy as a result of that charge.

6.    COMPANY PROPERTY

        Vadlamannati agrees that, unless required to do so by legal process, he will not make any disparaging statements to any current, former or potential customers, contractors, vendors or employees of PPG, to any media or to any other person about PPG. A disparaging statement is any communication which, if publicized to another, would be reasonably expected to cause or tend to cause the recipient of the communication to question the business condition, integrity, competence, good character or product quality of the person or entity to whom or to which the communication relates. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as prohibiting Vadlamannati from disclosing information as may be required as part of, or as part of voluntary cooperation with, an investigation by a government agency charged with enforcing any law. For purposes of this Paragraph 7, PPG means PPG Industries, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and their respective directors, officers, and employees.

        Vadlamannati acknowledges and agrees that he has entered into this Agreement voluntarily and that no person has made any promises to him to induce him to sign this Agreement other than promises that are contained in this Agreement itself.

        Vadlamannati acknowledges and agrees that the Release and Waiver of rights and claims as set forth in this Agreement are in exchange for valuable consideration which he would not otherwise be entitled to receive but for this Agreement.

        Vadlamannati acknowledges and agrees that he has carefully read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, including the release and waiver of claims, that he has had the opportunity to take at least twenty-one (21) days from September 21, 2024, to decide whether he wants to sign this Agreement, and that no one has pressured him to sign the Agreement sooner. The parties agree that changes made to this Agreement, whether material or otherwise, shall not affect the twenty-one (21) day period. In the event that Vadlamannati executes the Agreement prior to the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day period, he does so voluntarily, with full knowledge of his right to consider the Agreement for twenty-one (21) days.

        Vadlamannati acknowledges and agrees that he has been advised in writing that he should consult with an attorney of his own choice prior to executing this Agreement.

    9.    RIGHT TO REVOKE

        Vadlamannati also understands and agrees that he shall have seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to revoke it.
