SECTION 2.11. Illegality.

Each determination by the Lender 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, or upfront fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

SECTION 2.13. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower to or for the account of the Lender 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 the Lender, 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 the Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of the Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of the 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 the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder to the Lender, (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) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)     In addition, the Borrower shall be liable for the payment of and shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c)     The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender 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 the Lender, 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 the Lender makes written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)     Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender, 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 Lender. 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)     The Lender is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States and shall provide the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Note. If the form provided by the Lender at the time the 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 the 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 the Lender would be entitled to claim, with respect to a payment from the Borrower that is a United States person, as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, or that is otherwise a United States-source payment, the benefits of the exemption from United States withholding tax for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Lender shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that the Lender is not (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 Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(f)     For any period with respect to which the Lender has failed to provide the Borrower 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), the 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 the Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

SECTION 2.14. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from the Term Loan, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by the Lender to the Borrower to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for the Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Loan owing to, or to be made by, the Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the Lender a Note payable to the order of the Lender in a principal amount of the Term Loan.

(b)     [Intentionally Omitted].

(c)     Entries made in good faith by the Lender in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by the 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 the Lender, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes of PPG and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.01. Conditions Precedent. The obligations of the Lender to make the Term Loan hereunder shall not become effective until the date (the “Effective Date”) occurring on or prior May 27, 2016, on which the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

7.This Assignment and Acceptance shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

8.This Assignment and Acceptance 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 Schedule 1 to this Assignment and Acceptance by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Assignment and Acceptance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Assignor and the Assignee have caused Schedule 1 to this Assignment and Acceptance to be executed by their officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date specified thereon.

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:

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 Note, 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 Note, (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 Note 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 Note 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 Note. 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 Note are governed by, and to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Credit Agreement and the Note 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 Note 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).
