                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
PPG Industries Inc., incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1883, is comprised of three
basic business segments: coatings and resins, glass and chemicals. Within these
business segments, PPG has followed a careful program of directing its resources
of people, capital and technology in selected areas where it enjoys positions of
leadership. Primary areas in which resources have been focused are automotive
original, refinish, industrial and architectural coatings; flat glass,
automotive original and replacement glass, aircraft transparencies,
continuous-strand fiber glass, and chlor-alkali and specialty chemicals. Each of
the business segments in which PPG is engaged is highly competitive. However,
the broad diversification of product lines and worldwide markets served tend to
minimize the impact on total sales and earnings of changes in demand for a
particular product line. Reference is made to "Business Segment Information" on
pages 26 and 27 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated
herein by reference, for financial information relating to business segments.
 
COATINGS AND RESINS
 
PPG is a major manufacturer of protective and decorative coatings. The coatings
industry is highly competitive and consists of a few large firms with global
presence, and many smaller firms serving local or regional markets. PPG competes
in its primary markets with the world's largest coatings companies, most of
which have operations in North America and Europe. Product development,
innovation, quality and customer service have been stressed by PPG and have been
significant factors in developing an important supplier position.
 
The coatings business involves the supply of protective and decorative finishes
for automotive original equipment, appliances, industrial equipment, and
packaging; factory finished aluminum extrusions and coils for architectural
uses, and other industrial and consumer products. In addition to supplying
finishes to the automotive original equipment market, PPG supplies automotive
refinishes to the aftermarket which are primarily sold through distributors. In
the automotive original and industrial portions of the coatings business, PPG
sells directly to a variety of manufacturing companies. Product performance,
technology, quality and customer service are major competitive factors. The
automotive original and industrial coatings are formulated specifically for the
customer's needs and application methods. PPG also manufactures adhesives and
sealants for the automotive industry and metal pretreatments for automotive and
industrial applications.
 
The architectural finishes business consists primarily of coatings used by
painting and maintenance contractors and by consumers for decoration and
maintenance. PPG's products are sold through independent distributors, paint
dealers, mass merchandisers and home centers. Price, quality and service are key
competitive factors in the architectural finishes market.
 
Coatings and resins' principal production facilities are concentrated in North
America and Europe. North American production facilities consist of fourteen
plants in the United States, one in Canada and two in Mexico. The three largest
facilities are the Cleveland, OH plant, which primarily produces automotive
original coatings; the Oak Creek, WI plant, which produces automotive original
and other industrial coatings; and the Delaware, OH plant, which primarily
produces automotive refinishes and certain industrial coatings. Outside North
America, PPG operates three plants in Spain; two plants in Italy, and one plant
each in China, England, France, Germany and Portugal. These plants produce a
variety of industrial coatings. PPG owns a 60 percent interest in a sales
operation in Hong Kong, 50 percent interests in operations in South Korea and
Japan, and minority interests in operations in Taiwan and Brazil. Additionally,
coatings and resins operates ten service centers in the United States and two
each in Canada and Mexico to provide just-in-time delivery and service to
selected automotive assembly plants. Nineteen training centers in the United
States, six in Europe, five in Asia and one in Canada are in operation. These
centers provide training for automotive aftermarket refinish customers. Also,
four automotive original application centers that provide testing facilities for
customer paint processes and new products are in operation. The average number
of persons employed by the coatings and resins segment during 1995 was 10,100.
 
GLASS
 
PPG is one of the major producers of flat glass, fabricated glass and
continuous-strand fiber glass in the world. PPG's major markets are automotive
original equipment, automotive replacement, residential and commercial
construction, aircraft transparencies, the furniture, marine and electronics
industries and other markets. Most glass products are sold directly to
manufacturing and construction companies, although in some instances products
are sold directly to independent distributors and through PPG distribution
outlets. Fiber glass products are sold directly to manufacturing companies and
independent distributors. PPG manufactures flat glass by the float process and
fiber glass by the continuous filament process.
 
The bases for competition are price, quality, technology, cost and customer
service. The Company competes with six other major producers of flat glass, six
other major producers of fabricated glass and two other major producers of fiber
glass throughout the world.
 
PPG's principal glass production facilities are concentrated in North America
and Europe. Fourteen plants
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
operate in the United States, of which six produce flat glass, five produce
automotive glass, two produce fiber glass products and one produces aircraft
transparencies. A third plant is expected to begin producing fiber glass
products in March 1996. There are three plants in Canada, two of which produce
automotive glass and one produces flat glass. Four plants operate in Italy; one
manufactures automotive and flat glass, one produces automotive glass, one
produces flat glass, and another produces aircraft transparencies. Three plants
are located in France; one plant manufactures automotive and flat glass and two
plants produce automotive glass. One plant in England and one plant in the
Netherlands produce fiber glass. PPG owns equity interests in operations in
Canada, France, the Netherlands, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, the
United States and Venezuela and a majority interest in a glass distribution
company in Japan. Additionally, glass has four satellite operations that provide
limited manufacturing and just-in-time service to selected automotive customer
locations. The average number of persons employed by the glass segment during
1995 was 15,700.
 
CHEMICALS
 
PPG is a major producer of chlor-alkali and specialty chemicals. The primary
chlor-alkali products are chlorine, caustic soda, vinyl chloride monomer,
chlorinated solvents and chlorinated benzenes. Most of these products are sold
directly to manufacturing companies in the chemical processing, rubber and
plastics, paper, minerals and metals, and water treatment industries. The
primary specialty chemical products are Transitions(registered trademark)
optical products; silica based compounds for the tire, shoe and battery
separator businesses; surfactants for food emulsification, sugar processing and
personal care products; CR-39 monomer for optical plastics; and phosgene
derivatives for the pharmaceutical, herbicide and fuel additives businesses.
 
PPG competes with six other major producers of chlor-alkali products. Price,
product availability, product quality and customer service are the key
competitive factors. In the specialty chemicals area, PPG's market share varies
greatly by business; product performance and technical service are the most
critical competitive factors.
 
PPG's chemical production facilities consist of nine plants in North America,
two plants each in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China, and one each in
Australia, France, Ireland and the Netherlands. The two largest facilities,
located in Lake Charles, LA and in Natrium, WV, primarily produce chlor-alkali
products. PPG owns equity interests in operations in Japan, Thailand and the
United States. The average number of persons employed by the chemicals segment
during 1995 was 4,600.
 
BUSINESS DIVESTED--BIOMEDICAL SYSTEMS DIVISION
 
The Company's Biomedical Systems Division was a manufacturer, supplier and
servicer of integrated medical systems for human health care on a worldwide
basis.
 
A decision was made in the fourth quarter of 1993 to divest the Biomedical
Systems Division. The sale of the medical electronics portion of this business
was completed by the end of the third quarter of 1994. With the sale of the
sensors business in January 1995, the divestiture of the Biomedical Systems
Division was completed.
 
RAW MATERIALS
 
The effective management of raw materials is important to PPG's continued
success. The Company's most significant raw materials are sand, soda ash,
energy, polyvinyl butyral and boron containing minerals in the glass segment;
titanium dioxide and epoxy resins in the coatings and resins segment, and energy
and ethylene in the chemicals segment. Most of the raw materials used in
production are purchased from outside sources, and the Company has made, and
will continue to make, supply arrangements to meet the planned operating
requirements for the future. For the significant raw material requirements
identified above, and other material, there is more than one source of supply.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
Research and development costs, including depreciation of research facilities,
during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $252 million, $233 million and $218 million,
respectively. Research and development facilities are maintained for each
business segment. Each of the facilities conducts research and development
involving new and improved products and processes, and additional process and
product development work is undertaken at many of the Company's manufacturing
plants. PPG owns and operates eight research and development facilities in the
United States and Europe.
 
PATENTS
 
PPG considers patent protection to be important from an overall standpoint. The
Company's business segments are not materially dependent upon any single patent
or group of related patents. PPG received $27 million, $25 million and $25
million from royalties and the sale of technical know-how during the years 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
BACKLOG
 
In general, PPG does not manufacture its products against a backlog of orders;
production and inventory levels are geared primarily to projections of future
demand and the level of incoming orders.
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
NON-U.S. OPERATIONS
 
Although PPG has a significant investment in non-U.S. operations, based upon the
extent and location of investments, management believes that the risk associated
with its international operations is not significantly greater than domestic
operations.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
The average number of persons employed worldwide by PPG during 1995 was 31,200.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
Like other companies, PPG is subject to the existing and evolving standards
relating to the protection of the environment. Capital expenditures for
environmental control projects were $25 million, $19 million and $29 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. It is expected that expenditures for such
projects in 1996 will approximate $40 million with similar amounts of annual
expenditures expected in the near future. Although future capital expenditures
are difficult to estimate accurately because of constantly changing regulatory
standards, it can be anticipated that environmental control standards will
become increasingly stringent and costly.
 
PPG is negotiating with various government agencies concerning 72 National
Priority List ("NPL") and various other cleanup sites. While PPG is not
generally a major contributor of wastes to these sites, each potentially
responsible party or contributor may face agency assertions of joint and several
liability. Generally, however, a final allocation of costs is made based on
relative contributions of wastes to the site. There is a wide range of cost
estimates for cleanup of these sites, due largely to uncertainties as to the
nature and extent of their condition and the methods which may have to be
employed for their remediation. Additionally, remediation projects have been or
may be undertaken at certain of the Company's current and former plant sites.
The Company has established reserves for those sites where it is probable a
liability exists and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of Dec. 31, 1995
and 1994, PPG had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling $100 million
and $90 million, respectively. Charges against income for environmental
remediation costs totaled $49 million in 1995, $36 million in 1994 and $23
million in 1993.
 
The Company's experience to date regarding environmental matters leads PPG to
believe that it will have continuing expenditures for compliance with provisions
regulating the protection of the environment and for present and future
remediation efforts at waste and plant sites. However, management anticipates
that such expenditures, which will occur over an extended period of time, will
not result in future annual charges against income that are significantly
greater than those recorded in 1995. It is possible, however, that
technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of
environmental studies and other factors could alter this expectation. In
management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner,
is well positioned, relative to environmental matters, within the industries in
which it operates and the outcome of these environmental matters will not have a
material adverse effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity. See
Environmental Matters in Management's Discussion and Analysis for additional
information related to environmental matters.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
See "Item 1. Business" for information on PPG's production and fabrication
facilities.
 
Generally, the Company's plants are suitable and adequate for the purposes for
which they are intended, and overall have sufficient capacity to conduct
business in the upcoming year.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations require the disclosure of any
environmental legal proceeding in which a governmental authority is a party and
which may reasonably be expected to involve monetary sanctions in excess of
$100,000. In this regard, on November 14, 1991, the Company received a penalty
notice from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) proposing a
penalty of $1,236,000 for alleged violations of hazardous waste regulations
relating to the Company's investigation of groundwater contamination at the
Company's Lake Charles, LA plant. The Company and DEQ reached a settlement of
this matter which resulted in a payment by PPG of $200,000.
 
Separately, the Company has voluntarily entered into an agreement with the EPA
to participate in the EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act Section 8(e) Compliance
Audit Program (the "Program"). Under the Program the Company conducted a
self-audit. On October 28, 1992, the Company submitted the first of two final
reports pursuant to the Program. Based on this submission, the Company would pay
$522,000 in stipulated penalties. To the Company's knowledge, the EPA has not
yet reviewed the report or issued any order as a result of the report. Under the
Program, the EPA has agreed that the combined potential civil penalties for both
final reports of the Company will not exceed $1,000,000.

        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

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

        We have audited the balance sheet of PPG Industries, Inc. and
        subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
        statements of income and cash flows for each of the three years in the
        period ended December 31, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated
        January 18, 1996; such financial statements and report are included in
        your 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and are incorporated herein by
        reference. Our audits also included financial statement schedule II,
        Valuation and Qualifying Accounts, of PPG Industries, Inc. and
        subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The
        financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company's
        management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on our
        audits. In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when
        considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
        whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set

                           MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
                           ------------------------


    Section 1.1.  Annual Meetings.  An annual meeting of the shareholders shall
    ------------  ----------------                                             
be held each year on such day as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board of Directors") may designate, or, if not so designated, on the third
Thursday in April if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the
next business day following.  Annual meetings shall be held at the registered
office of the Corporation, or at such other places, within or without the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as may be designated by the Board of Directors.

    Section 1.2.  Business at Annual Meetings.  The business at each annual
    ------------  ----------------------------                             
meeting of the shareholders shall include:  (a) a review of the business of the
preceding year; (b) the election of directors; and (c) such other business as
may properly be brought before the meeting.  No business may be transacted at
any annual meeting other than (i) matters referred to in the notice of the
meeting or any supplement thereto, (ii) matters otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (iii)
matters properly brought before the meeting by one or more shareholders, but
only in accordance and upon compliance with the provisions of the proxy rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and (iv) matters which are incidental or
germane to any of the foregoing.

    Section 1.3.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders may be
    ------------  -----------------

    Section 1.4.  Business at Special Meetings.  No business may be transacted
    ------------  -----------------------------                               
at any special meeting of the shareholders other than matters referred to in the
notice of the meeting or any supplement thereto and matters which are incidental
or germane thereto.

    Section 1.5.  Notice.  Written notice specifying the place, date and time
    ------------  -------                                                    
and the general nature of business to be transacted at each meeting of the
shareholders shall be given by the Secretary to each shareholder of record
entitled to vote at such meeting.

    Section 1.6.  Quorum.  A shareholders' meeting shall not be organized for
    ------------  -------                                                    
the transaction of business unless a quorum is present.  At any meeting, the
presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast the minimum
number of votes required by law to constitute a quorum on a particular matter in
the absence of a bylaw to the contrary, or if no such number is required by law,
at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on
such matter, shall be necessary and sufficient to organize a meeting for the
purpose of considering such matter.  Notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
shareholders to leave less than the number of votes required by the preceding
sentence, the shareholders who continue to be present at a duly organized
meeting shall constitute a quorum in order to continue to do business until
adjournment.  If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not
attended, those present in person or by proxy may by majority vote adjourn the
meeting to such time and place as they may determine, and it shall not be
necessary to give notice of such adjourned meeting or the business to be
transacted at such meeting to any shareholder other than by announcement at the
meeting at which such adjournment is taken, unless the Board of Directors fixes
a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

    Section 1.7.  Voting.  The voting at all meetings of the shareholders may be
    ------------  -------                                                       
by voice; but any qualified voter may demand a stock vote, whereupon (i) with
respect to any matter specifically set forth in the notice of meeting, such
stock vote shall be taken by ballot, and (ii) in the case of any other vote,
such stock vote may be taken by ballot, by show of hands, or any other manner
selected by the presiding officer.  If the vote is taken by ballot, each ballot
shall state the name of the shareholder voting and the number of shares voted by
him, and if such ballot be cast by proxy, it shall state the name of the proxy
voting and the number of shares voted by him as proxy.  Each shareholder shall
be entitled to one vote for each share having voting power registered in his
name on the books of the Corporation as of the record date for the determination
of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, and it may be voted by the
shareholder or his duly authorized proxy.  When a stock vote is demanded, all
questions shall be decided by a

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
vote of shareholders present, in person or by proxy, entitled to cast at least
a majority of the votes which all shareholders present and voting (excluding
abstentions) are entitled to cast on the particular matter, unless otherwise
especially provided in these bylaws, in the Restated Articles of Incorporation,
as amended from time to time (the "Restated Articles of Incorporation"), or by
law, and except that in the case of privileged, subsidiary or incidental
motions or questions involving the convenience of the shareholders present, the
presiding officer may call for a per capita vote, either by voice or by show of
hands.  Where a proxy or proxies represent the holders of shares entitled to
cast in aggregate a sufficient number of votes to adopt a particular
resolution, the vote of such proxy or proxies may, in the discretion of the
presiding officer, constitute action by the shareholders.

    A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order with the address of and the number
of shares held by each, shall be prepared by the Secretary and shall be produced
and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting.  In lieu of
the making of a list, the Corporation may make the information therein available
at the meeting by any other means.

    Section 1.8.  Proxies; Appointment and Revocation.  Every shareholder
    ------------  ------------------------------------                   
entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders or to express consent or
dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another
person or persons, but not more than three, to act for him by proxy.  Every
proxy shall be executed in writing (including telegram, cable or radiogram,
telex, TWX, facsimile transmission or similar transmission), by the shareholder
or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and filed with the Secretary.

    Section 1.9.  Meeting Procedure.  At all meetings of shareholders, the
    ------------  ------------------                                      
Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside, but in his absence, the
presiding officer shall be designated by the Board of Directors, or if not so
designated, selected by the shareholders present.  The Secretary shall take the
minutes of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, the presiding officer shall designate any person to take the minutes
of the meeting.  The presiding officer of any meeting shall determine the order
of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the
conduct of discussion as seems to him in order.  The conduct of meetings shall
be governed by accepted corporate practice (not Roberts' Rules), the fundamental
                                            ---                                 
rule being that all who are entitled to take part shall be treated with fairness
and good faith.

    Section 1.10.  Nominations of Director Candidates.  Nominations for the
    -------------  -----------------------------------                     
election of directors at a meeting of shareholders may be made only (1) by the
Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors or (2) by
a holder of record of stock entitled to vote in the election of the directors to
be elected; but a nomination may be made by a shareholder only if written notice
of such nomination is received by the Secretary not later than (i) with respect
to an election to be held at an annual meeting of the shareholders, the date on
which a shareholder proposal would have to be submitted to the Corporation in
order to be set forth in the Corporation's proxy statement, as provided in the
applicable proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) with
respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders, the
close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such
meeting is first given to shareholders.  Each such notice shall set forth:  (a)
the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and
of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the
shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to
nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all
arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any
other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the
nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other
information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be
required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, had the nominee been nominated by the
Board of Directors; and (e) the written consent of each nominee, signed by such
nominee, to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected. The presiding
officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person by
a shareholder not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

     (a) The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than 9 nor
         more than 17 persons, the exact number to be fixed from time to time by
         the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority
         vote of the directors then in office;

     (b) Directors shall, from and after the annual meeting of
         shareholders held in 1987, continue to be classified with respect to
         the time for which they shall severally hold office by dividing them
         into 3 classes, as nearly equal in number as possible.  At such meeting
         and at each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, the class of
         directors then being elected shall be elected to hold office for a term
         of 3 years.  Each director shall hold office for the term for which
         elected and until his or her successor shall have been elected and
         qualified;

     (c) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of
         preferred stock then outstanding, any director, any class of directors,
         or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office by
         shareholder vote at any time, with or without assigning any cause, but
         only if shareholders entitled to cast at least 80% of the votes which
         all shareholders would be entitled to cast at an annual election of

it by these bylaws and the Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful
acts and things in the management of the Corporation as are not, by these
bylaws, by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, or by law directed or
required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

meeting, a majority of the directors then in office shall be necessary and
sufficient to organize the meeting.  A meeting at which a quorum is not present
may be adjourned from time to time by a majority vote of those present to such
time and place as they may determine, and it shall not be necessary to give
notice of such adjourned meeting or the business to be transacted thereat other
than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.

Compensation Committee) including, without limitation:  (a) a fixed annual fee;

    ------------  ------------                                                  
Restated Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, during any emergency period
caused by a national catastrophe or local disaster, a majority of the surviving
members (or the sole survivor) of the Board of Directors who have not been
rendered incapable of acting because of incapacity or the difficulty of
communication or transportation to the place of meeting, shall constitute a
quorum for the sole purpose of electing directors to fill such emergency
vacancies or to reduce the size of the full Board of Directors or both; and a
majority of the directors (or the sole survivor) present at such a meeting may
take such 


                                       7
<PAGE>
 
action.  Directors so elected shall serve until such absent directors
are able to attend meetings or until the shareholders act to elect directors for
such purpose.  During such an emergency period, if the Board of Directors and
the Policy and Planning Committee are unable to or fail to meet, any action
appropriate to the circumstances may be taken by such officers of the
Corporation as may be present and able.  Questions as to the existence of a
national catastrophe or local disaster and the number of surviving members
capable of acting shall be conclusively determined at the time by the directors
or the officers so acting.

    Section 2.10.  Limitation of Liability.  To the fullest extent that the laws
    -------------  ------------------------                                     
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as in effect on January 27, 1987, or as
thereafter amended, permit the elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable for
monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any
action, as a director.  This Section 2.10 shall not apply to any actions filed
prior to January 27, 1987, nor to any breach of performance of duty or any
failure of performance of duty by any director occurring prior to January 27,
1987.  The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a contract with
each director of the Corporation who serves as such at any time while such
provisions are in effect, and each such director shall be deemed to be serving
as such in reliance on such provisions.  Any amendment to or repeal of this
Section 2.10, or adoption of any other Article or bylaw of the Corporation,
which has the effect of increasing director liability shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in an annual
election of directors, voting together as a single class.  Any such amendment or
repeal, other Article or bylaw, shall operate prospectively only and shall not
have effect with respect to any action taken, or any failure to act, by a
director prior thereto.

submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such
supporting documentation as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to the making of a determination of whether and to what
extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the
Corporation shall promptly thereupon advise the General Counsel in writing of
such request.

    (b)  The Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be determined by
a Referee (selected as hereinafter provided) in a written opinion.  The Referee
shall find the Indemnitee entitled to indemnification unless the Referee finds
that the Indemnitee's conduct was such that, if so found by a court,
indemnification would be prohibited by Pennsylvania law.

    (c)  "Referee" means an attorney with substantial expertise in corporate law
who neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to
represent:  (i) the Corporation or the Indemnitee, or an affiliate of either of
them, in any matter material to either such party, except to act as a Referee in
similar proceedings, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a
claim for indemnification under this Article.  The Corporation's General
Counsel, if Disinterested (as hereinafter defined), or if not, the Corporation's
senior officer who is Disinterested, shall propose a Referee.  The Secretary of
the Corporation shall notify the Indemnitee of the name of the Referee proposed,
whose appointment shall become final unless the Indemnitee, within 10 days of
such notice, reasonably objects to such Referee as not being qualified,
independent or unbiased.  If the Corporation and the Indemnitee cannot agree on
the selection of a Referee, or if the Corporation fails to propose a Referee,
within 45 days of the submission of a written request for indemnification, the
Referee shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.  The General
Counsel or a senior officer shall be deemed Disinterested if not a party to the
Proceeding and not alleged in the pleadings as to the Proceeding to have
participated in the action, or participated in the failure to act, which is the
basis for the relief sought in the Proceeding.

    (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that
there has been a determination by a court as to the conduct of an Indemnitee
such that 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
indemnification would not be prohibited by Pennsylvania law, or if an
Indemnitee would be entitled by Pennsylvania law to indemnification, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

    (e)  A determination under this Section 6.3 shall be conclusive and binding
on the Company but not on the Indemnitee.

    Section 6.4.  Partial Indemnification.  If an Indemnitee is entitled under
    ------------  ------------------------                                    
any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation of a
portion, but not all, of the expenses or liability resulting from a Proceeding,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

    Section 6.5.  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain
    ------------  ----------                                           
insurance to protect itself and any Indemnitee against expenses and liability
asserted or incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such expense or liability by law, under an agreement or under this
Article.  The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or
use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification.

    Section 6.6.  Agreements.  The Corporation may enter into agreements with
    ------------  -----------                                                
any director, officer or employee of the Corporation, which agreements may grant
rights to the Indemnitee or create obligations of the Corporation in furtherance
of, different from, or in addition to, but not in limitation of, those provided
in this Article, without shareholder approval of any such agreement.  Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Corporation may obligate itself (1) to maintain
insurance on behalf of the Indemnitee against certain expenses and liabilities
and (2) to contribute to expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee in
accordance with the application of relevant equitable considerations to the
relative benefits to, and the relative fault of, the Corporation.

    Section 6.7.  Miscellaneous.  The entitlement to indemnification and
    ------------  --------------                                        
advancement of expenses provided for in this Article (1) shall be a contract
right, (2) shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may
otherwise be entitled under any Article, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders
or directors or otherwise, (3) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be a director, officer or employee and (4) shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs and legal representatives of any person entitled to indemnification or
advancement of expenses under this Article.

    Section 6.8.  Construction.  If any provision of this Article shall be held
    ------------  -------------                                                
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason (1) such provision shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent of such prohibition and
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Article shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (2) to the
fullest extent possible, the remaining provisions of this Article shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

    Section 6.9.  Effectiveness.  This Article shall apply to every Proceeding
    ------------  --------------                                              
other than a Proceeding filed prior to January 27, 1987, except that it shall
not apply to the extent that Pennsylvania law does not permit its application to
any breach of performance of duty or any failure of performance of duty by an
Indemnitee occurring prior to January 27, 1987.

    Section 6.10.  Amendment.  This Article may be amended or repealed at any
    -------------  ----------                                                
time in the future by vote of the directors without shareholder approval;
provided, that any amendment or repeal, or adoption of any Article of the
Restated Articles or any other bylaw of the Corporation, which has the effect of
limiting the rights granted to directors under this Article, shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in an annual
election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any amendment or
repeal, or such Article or other bylaw, limiting the rights granted under this
Article shall operate prospectively only, and shall not limit in any way the
indemnification provided for herein with respect to any action taken, or failure
to act, by an Indemnitee prior thereto.

Corporation shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates, to be in such
form as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe, and signed (in
facsimile or otherwise, as permitted by law) by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any
Vice President and also by the Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant
Secretary or an Assistant Treasurer, which certificate or certificates shall
represent and certify the number of shares of stock owned by such

holder.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed (in
facsimile or otherwise, as permitted by law) any share certificate shall cease
to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before the certificate is
issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if the
officer, transfer agent or registrar had not ceased to be such at the date of
its issue.  The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of certificates
for fractional shares or, in lieu thereof, scrip or other evidence of
ownership, which may (or may not) as determined by the Board of Directors
entitle the holder thereof to voting, dividends or other rights of
shareholders.

    Section 7.2.  Transfer of Shares.  Transfers of shares of stock of the
    ------------  -------------------                                     
Corporation shall be made on the books of the Corporation only upon surrender to
the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly
endorsed by the shareholder or by his assignee, agent or legal representative,
who shall furnish proper evidence of assignment, authority or legal succession,
or by the agent of one of the foregoing thereunto duly authorized by an
instrument duly executed and filed with the Corporation in accordance with
regular commercial practice.

    Section 7.3.  Holders of Record.  The Corporation shall be entitled to treat
    ------------  ------------------                                            
the holder of record of any share or shares of stock of the Corporation as the
holder and owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any share on the part
of any person other than the registered holder thereof, whether or not it shall
have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided by law. The
Board of Directors may fix a record date, within any applicable limits imposed
by law or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, for the determination of
shareholders for any purpose, including meetings, payment of dividends,
allotment of rights and reclassification, conversion or exchange of shares. The
Board of Directors may adopt a procedure whereby a shareholder of the
Corporation may certify in writing to the Corporation that all or a portion of
the shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of
a specified person or persons. The resolution of the Board of Directors adopting
such a procedure may set forth: (1) the classification of shareholder who may
certify; (2) the purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made;
(3) the form of certification and information to be contained therein; (4) if
the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record
date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and (5)
such other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or
desirable. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a certification complying with the
procedure, the persons specified in the certification shall be deemed, for the
purposes set forth in the certification, to be the


                                       18

holders of record of the number of shares specified in place of the shareholder
making the certification.

    Section 7.4.  Replacement.  Each duly appointed transfer agent and registrar
    ------------  ------------                                                  
of the Corporation may issue and register, respectively, from time to time,
without further action or approval by or on behalf of the Corporation, new
certificates of stock of the Corporation to replace certificates claimed to have
been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon receipt by the transfer agent of an
Affidavit of Loss and Bond of Indemnity in such amount and upon such terms as
may be required by the transfer agent to protect the Corporation, the transfer
agent and registrar against all loss, cost or damage arising from the issuance
of such new certificates, provided that a Bond of Indemnity shall not be
required where not more than five shares of stock are involved.

    Section 1.1.  Annual Meetings.  An annual meeting of the shareholders shall
    -----------   ----------------
be held each year on such day as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board of Directors") may designate, or, if not so designated, on the third
Thursday in April if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the
next business day following.  Annual meetings shall be held at the registered
office of the Corporation, or at such other places, within or without the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as may be designated by the Board of Directors.

    Section 1.2.  Business at Annual Meetings.  The business at each annual
    ------------  ----------------------------
meeting of the shareholders shall include:  (a) a review of the business of the
preceding year; (b) the election of directors; and (c) such other business as

    Section 1.4.  Business at Special Meetings.  No business may be transacted
    ------------  -----------------------------
at any special meeting of the shareholders other than matters referred to in the
notice of the meeting or any supplement thereto and matters which are incidental
or germane thereto.

    Section 1.5.  Notice.  Written notice specifying the place, date and time
    ------------  -------                                              
and the general nature of business to be transacted at each meeting of the
shareholders shall be given by the Secretary to each shareholder of record
entitled to vote at such meeting.

    Section 1.6.  Quorum.  A shareholders' meeting shall not be organized for
    ------------  -------
the transaction of business unless a quorum is present.  At any meeting, the
presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast the minimum
number of votes required by law to constitute a quorum on a particular matter in
the absence of a bylaw to the contrary, or if no such number is required by law,
at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on
such matter, shall be necessary and sufficient to organize a meeting for the
purpose of considering such matter.  Notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
shareholders to leave less than the number of votes required by the preceding
sentence, the shareholders who continue to be present at a duly organized
meeting shall constitute a quorum in order to continue to do business until
adjournment.  If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not
attended, those present in person or by proxy may by majority vote adjourn the
meeting to such time and place as they may determine, and it shall not be
necessary to give notice of such adjourned meeting or the business to be
transacted at such meeting to any shareholder other than by announcement at the
meeting at which such adjournment is taken, unless the Board of Directors fixes
a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

    Section 1.7.  Voting.  The voting at all meetings of the shareholders may be
    ------------  -------
by voice; but any qualified voter may demand a stock vote, whereupon (i) with
respect to any matter specifically set forth in the notice of meeting, such
stock vote shall be taken by ballot, and (ii) in the case of any other vote,
such stock vote may be taken by ballot, by show of hands, or any other manner
selected by the presiding officer. If the vote is taken by ballot, each ballot
shall state the name of the shareholder voting and the number of shares voted by
him, and if such ballot be cast by proxy, it shall state the name of the proxy
voting and the number of shares voted by him as proxy. Each shareholder shall be
entitled to one vote for each share having voting power registered in his name
on the books of the Corporation as of the record date for the determination of
the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, and it may be voted by the
shareholder or his duly authorized proxy. When a stock vote is demanded, all
questions shall be decided by a


                                       2
<PAGE>
 
vote of shareholders present, in person or by proxy, entitled to cast at least a
majority of the votes which all shareholders present and voting (excluding
abstentions) are entitled to cast on the particular matter, unless otherwise
especially provided in these bylaws, in the Restated Articles of Incorporation,
as amended from time to time (the "Restated Articles of Incorporation"), or by
law, and except that in the case of privileged, subsidiary or incidental motions
or questions involving the convenience of the shareholders present, the
presiding officer may call for a per capita vote, either by voice or by show of
hands. Where a proxy or proxies represent the holders of shares entitled to cast
in aggregate a sufficient number of votes to adopt a particular resolution, the
vote of such proxy or proxies may, in the discretion of the presiding officer,
constitute action by the shareholders.

    A complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders, arranged in alphabetical order with the address of and the number
of shares held by each, shall be prepared by the Secretary and shall be produced
and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting.  In lieu of
the making of a list, the Corporation may make the information therein available
at the meeting by any other means.

    Section 1.8.  Proxies; Appointment and Revocation.  Every shareholder
    ------------  ------------------------------------
entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders or to express consent or
dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another
person or persons, but not more than three, to act for him by proxy.  Every
proxy shall be executed in writing (including telegram, cable or radiogram,
telex, TWX, facsimile transmission or similar transmission), by the shareholder
or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and filed with the Secretary.

    Section 1.9.  Meeting Procedure.  At all meetings of shareholders, the
    ------------  ------------------
Chairman of the Board of Directors shall preside, but in his absence, the
presiding officer shall be designated by the Board of Directors, or if not so
designated, selected by the shareholders present.  The Secretary shall take the
minutes of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary, the presiding officer shall designate any person to take the minutes
of the meeting.  The presiding officer of any meeting shall determine the order
of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the
conduct of discussion as seems to him in order.  The conduct of meetings shall
be governed by accepted corporate practice (not Roberts' Rules), the fundamental
rule being that all who are entitled to take part shall be treated with fairness
and good faith.

    Section 1.10.  Nominations of Director Candidates.  Nominations for the
    -------------  -----------------------------------
election of directors at a meeting of shareholders may be made only (1) by the
Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors or (2) by
a holder of record of stock entitled to vote in the election of the directors to
be elected; but a nomination may be made by a shareholder only if written notice
of such nomination is received by the Secretary not later than (i) with respect
to an election to be held at an annual meeting of the shareholders, the date on
which a shareholder proposal would have to be submitted to the Corporation in
order to be set forth in the Corporation's proxy statement, as provided in the
applicable proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) with
respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of the shareholders, the
close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of such
meeting is first given to shareholders.  Each such notice shall set forth:  (a)
the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and
of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the
shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote
at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to
nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a description of all
arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any
other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the
nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other
information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be
required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, had the nominee been nominated by the
Board of Directors; and (e) the written consent of each nominee, signed by such
nominee, to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected.  The presiding

    "SIXTH.  6.1  The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed
     ------
by a Board of Directors comprised as follows:


                                       4
<PAGE>
 
    (a)  The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than 9 nor more than
         17 persons, the exact number to be fixed from time to time by the Board
         of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority vote of the
         directors then in office;

    (b)  Directors shall, from and after the annual meeting of shareholders held
         in 1987, continue to be classified with respect to the time for which
         they shall severally hold office by dividing them into 3 classes, as
         nearly equal in number as possible.  At such meeting and at each
         succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, the class of directors then
         being elected shall be elected to hold office for a term of 3 years.
         Each director shall hold office for the term for which elected and
         until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified;

    (c)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock
         then outstanding, any director, any class of directors, or the entire
         Board of Directors, may be removed from office by shareholder vote at
         any time, with or without assigning any cause, but only if shareholders
         entitled to cast at least 80% of the votes which all shareholders would
         be entitled to cast at an annual election of directors or of such class
         of directors shall vote in favor of such removal; provided, however,
         that no individual director shall be removed (unless the entire Board
         of Directors or any class of directors be removed) in case the votes
         cast against such removal would be sufficient, if voted cumulatively
         for such director, to elect him or her to the class of directors of
         which he or she is a member; and

    (d)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock
         then outstanding, vacancies in the Board of Directors, including
         vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall
         be filled only by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in
         office, though less than a quorum, except that vacancies resulting from
         removal from office by a vote of the shareholders may be filled by the
         shareholders at the same meeting at which such removal occurs.  All
         directors elected to fill vacancies shall hold office for a term
         expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders at which the term of the
         class to which they have been elected expires.  No decrease in the
         number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten
         the term of any incumbent director.

as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any
provision inconsistent with, this Article Sixth."

    Section 2.2.  Qualifications and Powers.  No person shall be elected a
    ------------  --------------------------
director unless such person owns at least 100 shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation.  In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon
it by these bylaws and the Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful
acts and things in the management of the Corporation as are not, by these
bylaws, by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, or by law directed or
required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

    ------------  -----------------------
newly-elected Board of Directors shall be held immediately following the annual

    ------------  ---------------
be organized for the transaction of business unless a quorum is present.  At any
meeting, a majority of the directors then in office shall be necessary and
sufficient to organize the meeting.  A meeting at which a quorum is not present
may be adjourned from time to time by a majority vote of those present to such
time and place as they may determine, and it shall not be necessary to give
notice of such adjourned meeting or the business to be transacted thereat other
than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a
majority, the directors who continue to be present at a duly organized meeting
shall constitute a quorum in order to continue to do business.  Unless otherwise
provided in these bylaws, in the Restated Articles of Incorporation or by law,
the acts of a majority of the directors present and voting (excluding
abstentions) at a duly organized meeting shall be the acts of the Board of
Directors.  The yeas and nays shall be taken and recorded in the minutes at the
request of any director present at a meeting.

    Section 2.7.  Fees and Expenses.  The Board of Directors shall fix the
    ------------  ------------------
compensation of each director (except for those directors who are officers of
the Corporation, whose compensation is to be fixed by the Officers-Directors
Compensation Committee) including, without limitation:  (a) a fixed annual fee;
and (b) a fixed sum for attendance at any meeting of the Board of Directors or
any committee.  Directors shall be reimbursed for the expenses of attendance at
any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee.

    ------------  -------------------------
authorize contributions out of the income of the Corporation for the public
welfare or for religious, charitable, scientific, or educational purposes.

    Section 2.9.  Catastrophe.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the
    ------------  ------------
Restated Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, during any emergency period
caused by a national catastrophe or local disaster, a majority of the surviving
members (or the sole survivor) of the Board of Directors who have not been
rendered incapable of acting because of incapacity or the difficulty of
communication or transportation to the place of meeting, shall constitute a
quorum for the sole purpose of electing directors to fill such emergency
vacancies or to reduce the size of the full Board of Directors or both; and a
majority of the directors (or the sole survivor) present at such a meeting may
take such


                                      7
<PAGE>
 
action.  Directors so elected shall serve until such absent directors
are able to attend meetings or until the shareholders act to elect directors for
such purpose.  During such an emergency period, if the Board of Directors and
the Policy and Planning Committee are unable to or fail to meet, any action
appropriate to the circumstances may be taken by such officers of the
Corporation as may be present and able.  Questions as to the existence of a
national catastrophe or local disaster and the number of surviving members
capable of acting shall be conclusively determined at the time by the directors
or the officers so acting.

    Section 2.10.  Limitation of Liability.  To the fullest extent that the laws
    -------------  ------------------------
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as in effect on January 27, 1987, or as
thereafter amended, permit the elimination or limitation of the liability of
directors, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable for
monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any
action, as a director.  This Section 2.10 shall not apply to any actions filed
prior to January 27, 1987, nor to any breach of performance of duty or any
failure of performance of duty by any director occurring prior to January 27,
1987.  The provisions of this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a contract with
each director of the Corporation who serves as such at any time while such
provisions are in effect, and each such director shall be deemed to be serving
as such in reliance on such provisions.  Any amendment to or repeal of this
Section 2.10, or adoption of any other Article or bylaw of the Corporation,
which has the effect of increasing director liability shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in an annual
election of directors, voting together as a single class.  Any such amendment or
repeal, other Article or bylaw, shall operate prospectively only and shall not
have effect with respect to any action taken, or any failure to act, by a
director prior thereto.

                                INDEMNIFICATION
                                ---------------


    Section 6.1.  Entitlement to Indemnification.  The Corporation shall, to the
    ------------  -------------------------------
extent that a determination of entitlement is made pursuant to, or to the extent
that entitlement to indemnification is otherwise accorded by, this Article,
indemnify every person who was or is a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnitee") who was or is involved
in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness), or is
threatened to be made so involved, in any threatened, pending or completed
investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (including without limitation, any
investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the
Corporation) by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director,
officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other
representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other entity (such investigation, claim, action, suit
or proceeding hereinafter being referred to as a "Proceeding"), against any
expenses and any liability actually and in good faith paid or incurred by such
person in connection with such Proceeding; provided, that indemnification may be
made with respect to a Proceeding brought by an Indemnitee against the
Corporation only as provided in the last sentence of this Section 6.1.  As used
in this Article, the term "expenses" shall include fees and expenses of counsel
and all other expenses (except any liability) and the term "liability" shall
include amounts of judgments, fines or penalties and amounts paid in settlement.
Indemnification may be made under this Article for expenses incurred in
connection with any Proceeding brought by an Indemnitee against the Corporation
only if (1) the Proceeding is a claim for indemnification under this Article or
otherwise, (2) the Indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in the
Proceeding for which expenses are claimed, or (3) the indemnification for
expenses is included in a settlement of, or is awarded by a court in, a
Proceeding to which the Corporation is a party.

    Section 6.2.  Advancement of Expenses.  All expenses incurred in good faith
    ------------  ------------------------
by or on behalf of the Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding shall, upon
written request submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation, be advanced to
the Indemnitee by the Corporation prior to final disposition of such Proceeding,
subject to any obligation which may be imposed by law or by provision in the
Articles, bylaws, an agreement or otherwise to repay the Corporation in certain
events.

    Section 6.3.  Indemnification Procedure.
    ----------------------------------------

    (a)  To obtain indemnification under this Article, an Indemnitee shall
submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including such
supporting documentation as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to the making of a determination of whether and to what
extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.  The Secretary of the
Corporation shall promptly thereupon advise the General Counsel in writing of
such request.

    (b)  The Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification shall be determined by
a Referee (selected as hereinafter provided) in a written opinion.  The Referee
shall find the Indemnitee entitled to indemnification unless the Referee finds
that the Indemnitee's conduct was such that, if so found by a court,
indemnification would be prohibited by Pennsylvania law.

    (c)  "Referee" means an attorney with substantial expertise in corporate law
who neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to
represent:  (i) the Corporation or the Indemnitee, or an affiliate of either of
them, in any matter material to either such party, except to act as a Referee in
similar proceedings, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a
claim for indemnification under this Article.  The Corporation's General
Counsel, if Disinterested (as hereinafter defined), or if not, the Corporation's
senior officer who is Disinterested, shall propose a Referee.  The Secretary of
the Corporation shall notify the Indemnitee of the name of the Referee proposed,
whose appointment shall become final unless the Indemnitee, within 10 days of
such notice, reasonably objects to such Referee as not being qualified,
independent or unbiased.  If the Corporation and the Indemnitee cannot agree on
the selection of a Referee, or if the Corporation fails to propose a Referee,
within 45 days of the submission of a written request for indemnification, the
Referee shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.  The General
Counsel or a senior officer shall be deemed Disinterested if not a party to the
Proceeding and not alleged in the pleadings as to the

                                      15
<PAGE>
 
Proceeding to have participated in the action, or participated in the failure to
act, which is the basis for the relief sought in the Proceeding.

    (d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that
there has been a determination by a court as to the conduct of an Indemnitee
such that indemnification would not be prohibited by Pennsylvania law, or if an
Indemnitee would be entitled by Pennsylvania law to indemnification, the
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

    (e)  A determination under this Section 6.3 shall be conclusive and binding
on the Company but not on the Indemnitee.

    Section 6.4.  Partial Indemnification.  If an Indemnitee is entitled under
    ------------  ------------------------
any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation of a
portion, but not all, of the expenses or liability resulting from a Proceeding,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion
thereof to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

    Section 6.5.  Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain
    ------------  ----------
insurance to protect itself and any Indemnitee against expenses and liability
asserted or incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person
against such expense or liability by law, under an agreement or under this
Article.  The Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or
use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure
the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification.

    Section 6.6.  Agreements.  The Corporation may enter into agreements with
    ------------  -----------
any director, officer or employee of the Corporation, which agreements may grant
rights to the Indemnitee or create obligations of the Corporation in furtherance
of, different from, or in addition to, but not in limitation of, those provided
in this Article, without shareholder approval of any such agreement.  Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Corporation may obligate itself (1) to maintain
insurance on behalf of the Indemnitee against certain expenses and liabilities
and (2) to contribute to expenses and liabilities incurred by the Indemnitee in
accordance with the application of relevant equitable considerations to the
relative benefits to, and the relative fault of, the Corporation.

    Section 6.7.  Miscellaneous.  The entitlement to indemnification and
    ------------  --------------
advancement of expenses provided for in this Article (1) shall be a contract
right, (2) shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may
otherwise be entitled under any

                                      16
<PAGE>
 
Article, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, (3)
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or
employee and (4) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal
representatives of any person entitled to indemnification or advancement of
expenses under this Article.

    Section 6.8.  Construction.  If any provision of this Article shall be held
    ------------  -------------
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason (1) such provision shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent of such prohibition and
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Article shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (2) to the
fullest extent possible, the remaining provisions of this Article shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

    Section 6.9.  Effectiveness.  This Article shall apply to every Proceeding
    ------------  --------------
other than a Proceeding filed prior to January 27, 1987, except that it shall
not apply to the extent that Pennsylvania law does not permit its application to
any breach of performance of duty or any failure of performance of duty by an
Indemnitee occurring prior to January 27, 1987.

    Section 6.10.  Amendment.  This Article may be amended or repealed at any
    -------------  ----------
time in the future by vote of the directors without shareholder approval;
provided, that any amendment or repeal, or adoption of any Article of the
Restated Articles or any other bylaw of the Corporation, which has the effect of
limiting the rights granted to directors under this Article, shall require the
affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in an annual
election of directors, voting together as a single class.  Any amendment or
repeal, or such Article or other bylaw, limiting the rights granted under this
Article shall operate prospectively only, and shall not limit in any way the
indemnification provided for herein with respect to any action taken, or failure
to act, by an Indemnitee prior thereto.

    Section 7.1.  Share Certificates.  Every holder of fully-paid stock of the

Corporation shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates, to be in such
form as the Board of Directors

                                      17
<PAGE>
 
may from time to time prescribe, and signed (in facsimile or otherwise, as
permitted by law) by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chairman
of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President and also by the
Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary or an Assistant Treasurer,
which certificate or certificates shall represent and certify the number of
shares of stock owned by such holder. In case any officer, transfer agent or
registrar who has signed (in facsimile or otherwise, as permitted by law) any
share certificate shall cease to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar
before the certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the
same effect as if the officer, transfer agent or registrar had not ceased to be
such at the date of its issue. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance
of certificates for fractional shares or, in lieu thereof, scrip or other
evidence of ownership, which may (or may not) as determined by the Board of
Directors entitle the holder thereof to voting, dividends or other rights of
shareholders.

    Section 7.2.  Transfer of Shares.  Transfers of shares of stock of the
    ------------  -------------------
Corporation shall be made on the books of the Corporation only upon surrender to
the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly
endorsed by the shareholder or by his assignee, agent or legal representative,
who shall furnish proper evidence of assignment, authority or legal succession,
or by the agent of one of the foregoing thereunto duly authorized by an
instrument duly executed and filed with the Corporation in accordance with
regular commercial practice.

    Section 7.3.  Holders of Record.  The Corporation shall be entitled to treat
    ------------  ------------------
the holder of record of any share or shares of stock of the Corporation as the
holder and owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any share on the part
of any person other than the registered holder thereof, whether or not it shall
have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided by law.  The
Board of Directors may fix a record date, within any applicable limits imposed
by law or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, for the determination of
shareholders for any purpose, including meetings, payment of dividends,
allotment of rights and reclassification, conversion or exchange of shares.  The
Board of Directors may adopt a procedure whereby a shareholder of the
Corporation may certify in writing to the Corporation that all or a portion of
the shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of
a specified person or persons.  The resolution of the Board of Directors
adopting such a procedure may set forth:  (1) the classification of shareholder
who may certify; (2) the purpose or purposes for which the certification may be
made; (3) the form of certification and information to be contained therein; (4)
if the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record
date within which

                                      18
<PAGE>
 
the certification must be received by the Corporation; and (5) such other
provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or desirable.
Upon receipt by the Corporation of a certification complying with the procedure,
the persons specified in the certification shall be deemed, for the purposes set
forth in the certification, to be the holders of record of the number of shares
specified in place of the shareholder making the certification.

    Section 7.4.  Replacement.  Each duly appointed transfer agent and registrar
    ------------  ------------
of the Corporation may issue and register, respectively, from time to time,
without further action or approval by or on behalf of the Corporation, new
certificates of stock of the Corporation to replace certificates claimed to have
been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon receipt by the transfer agent of an
Affidavit of Loss and Bond of Indemnity in such amount and upon such terms as
may be required by the transfer agent to protect the Corporation, the transfer
agent and registrar against all loss, cost or damage arising from the issuance
of such new certificates, provided that a Bond of Indemnity shall not be
required where not more than five shares of stock are involved.

        made as to the remainder of such year, provided that the election is
        filed with the Secretary within thirty (30) days of the individual's
        appointment to the Board.  Once deferral has been elected and filed

        the next succeeding calendar year and, unless revoked in writing or
        superseded by a new election effective for calendar years after the
        year in which such revocation or new election is executed, shall
        continue in effect for each calendar year thereafter.

    (c) Deferred amounts shall be credited on the books of the Corporation
        to an account in the name of the Participant on the same date that it
        would otherwise be payable and shall thereafter be paid from the general
        funds of the Corporation. No assets of the Corporation shall be
        segregated or earmarked in respect to any amounts credited to the

        Account of a Participant shall be equal to the quotient obtained
        by dividing the unpaid deferred amount to be credited to the
        Stock Account by the closing price of a share of the Common
        Stock on the date on which such deferred amount is credited on
        the books of the Corporation (or if such stock was not traded on
        that date, on the next preceding date on which it was traded), as
        reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite
        Transactions. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to each

                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>
 
        Stock Account as of each dividend payment date declared with
        respect to the Corporation's Common Stock.

    (e) Interest equivalents in respect to unpaid deferred amounts credited to
        the Capital Enhancement Account shall be credited at the same interest
        rate, and in the same manner, as interest equivalents are credited to
        the Capital Enhancement Account under the PPG Industries, Inc. Incentive
        Compensation and Deferred Income Plan for Key Employees; provided,
        however, that (i) pre-retirement death benefits as a multiple of amounts
        deferred thereunder and (ii) reduction of the rate of interest
        equivalents in case of termination of service prior to age 62, shall not
        apply to amounts deferred hereunder.

    (f) The sum of each Participant's deferrals of Compensation under Section
        4(a), to his Capital Enhancement Account shall be not less than such
        minimum, and not more than such maximum, as the Committee shall specify.

5.  Payment of Deferred Amounts
    ---------------------------

    (a) Payments from the Stock Account and the Capital Enhancement
        Account shall be made in the form of cash.

    (b) Subject to Section 5(d) and Section 5(f), a Participant may elect
        to have the amount deferred paid in from one to 15 annual installments
        after he or she shall cease to be a director of the Corporation.

        Such installment(s) shall commence upon or following

        (i)    a specified date;
        (ii)   an event certain;
        (iii)  the earlier of a specified date or an event certain.

        Installments shall continue to be payable as soon as practicable
        after the first day of January of each year thereafter.

        Subject to Sections 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f), payment of deferred amounts
        shall commence no later than January of the first calendar year which
        is the later of:

                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>
 
         (i) the year following attainment of age seventy (or such other
             age as may supersede the age referred to in Section 403(f)(3) of
             Title 42 United States Code); or

        (ii) the year following such Participant's retirement.

        Where deferred amounts, interest equivalents and Dividend Equivalents
        are payable in installments, the amount of each installment will be
        calculated such as to provide approximately equal distributions over the
        period designated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no installment may be
        in an amount less than $1,000, and, if and to the extent necessary,
        installments shall be accelerated so as to provide for such minimum
        installment(s). In calculating the amount of each installment, the
        amount in the Participant's Stock Account shall be calculated by
        multiplying the number of Common Stock Units in the Participant's Stock
        Account on date of such payment by the average closing price of the
        Common Stock in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions for
        the 5 trading days for which such price is available immediately
        preceding the date of payment.

    (c) Death or Disability
        -------------------

        (i)  Subject to Section 5(f), in the event of the death or disability of
             a Participant either while serving as a director of the Corporation
             or prior to the commencement of any payments hereunder, any amount
             due under the Plan shall be paid in a lump sum to the Participant's
             beneficiary, or in the case of disability, to the Participant, as
             soon as practicable after the death or disability.

        (ii) Subject to Section 5(f), in the event of the death or disability of
             a Participant on or after the commencement of installment payments,
             in accordance with Section 5(b), payments shall continue to paid to
             the Participant's beneficiary, or in the case of disability, to the
             Participant, in accordance with the election made by the
             Participant in accordance with Section 5(b); provided, however,
             that the Secretary of the Committee shall have the power to
             accelerate the payment of any installment(s) because of

                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>
 
              hardship or other circumstances deemed by him, in his discretion,
              to warrant such acceleration.

    (d)  Payment Elections
         -----------------

         Any prior election as to the number of installments made by a
         Participant who is serving as a director of the Corporation on February
         19, 1992 shall be null and void.

         Subject to Section 5(f), a Participant may elect the number and the
         date or event for the commencement of installment payments in
         accordance with the following:

         (i)  Such elections must be made at least six months and ten days
              prior to the first payment date; and

         (ii) In all cases, the elections must be made in the calendar
              year preceding the first payment date.

    (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the first
        installment to a Participant shall not be paid until six months and
        ten days after the Participant shall cease to be a director of the
        Corporation.

    (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Participant
        who, pursuant to any income tax laws to which he or she is subject,
        would be immediately taxed on any Compensation that the Board of
        Directors mandates shall be deferred may not elect the number and the
                                                 ---                         
        date or event for the commencement of payments under the Plan.
        Instead, the payment of all benefits to such Participant (including
        any Dividend Equivalents from the Plan) resulting from the mandatory
        deferrals shall occur as a lump sum payment on the first business day
        which is 6 months and 10 days after the Participant's last day as a
        member of the Board. In the event of such Participant's death prior to
        receipt of the benefits, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be paid the
        benefits on the first business day which is 6 months and 10 days after
        the Participant's last day as a member of the Board.

6.  Change in Control
    -----------------

                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
 
    (a) Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in Control (as defined
        below), the Corporation shall immediately make a payment in cash to a
        trustee on such terms as the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
        Administration, and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or either of
        them, shall deem appropriate (including such terms as are appropriate to
        cause such payment, if possible, not to be a taxable event to
        Participants) of a sufficient amount to insure that Participants receive
        the payment of all amounts as contemplated under the Plan.

    (b) Except as regards Section 6(c)(v), the Committee shall have the duty and
        the authority to make the determination as to whether a Change in
        Control has occurred, or is reasonably to be anticipated, and,
        concomitantly, to direct the making of the payment contemplated herein.

    (c) A "Change in Control" shall mean:

        (i)   The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
              meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange
              Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of
              beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
              under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (x) the then
              outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the
              "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (y) the combined voting
              power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company
              entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
              "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that
              for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions
              shall not constitute a Change in Control: (a) any acquisition
              directly from the Company, (b) any acquisition by the Company, (c)
              any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
              sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation
              controlled by the Company or (d) any acquisition by any
              corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses
              (a), (b) and (c) of subsection (iii) of this Section 6(c); or

        (ii)  Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
              Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
              at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any
              individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose
              election, or nomination for election by the Company's
              shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the
              directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered
              as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board,
              but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
              assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened
              election contest with respect to the election or removal of
              directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
              consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

        (iii) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
              reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other
              disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
              Company (a "Business Combination"), in each case, unless,
              following such Business Combination, (a) all or
              substantially all of the individuals and entities who were
              the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding
              Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities
              immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own,
              directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then
              outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power
              of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
              generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the
              corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including,
              without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such
              transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the
              Company's assets either directly or through one or more
              subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their
              ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the
              Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
              Securities, as the case may be, (b) no Person (excluding any
              employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such
              corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially
              owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the
              then outstanding shares of

                                     - 8 -

              common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business
              Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding
              voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that
              such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (c)
              at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of
              the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
              members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the
              initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for
              such Business Combination; or

        (iv)  Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
              complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

        (v)   A majority of the Board otherwise determines that a Change
              in Control shall have occurred.

7.  General Provisions

        Participant or Beneficiary of any Participant; provided, however, that
        any modification, amendment or termination shall be of general
        application to all Participants and Beneficiaries and shall not,
        without the consent of the Participant or, in the event of his death,
        the Participant's Beneficiary or estate adversely affect (i) any

        theretofore credited to the Participant's Account(s), as of the date
        of such modification, amendment or termination; and provided further
        that any modification, amendment or termination that would materially
        increase or accelerate the payment of any amount under the Plan shall

        unpaid amounts under the Plan after the death of the Participant. In the

        the Plan comes due, the Beneficiary of the Participant shall be the
        Participant's legal representative.

    (c) The Committee shall have full power to administer and interpret
        the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations, procedures and
        resolutions consistent with the terms of the Plan as the Committee deems
        necessary or advisable to carry out the terms of the Plan.

        deemed to be within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the
        validity, construction, interpretation and administration of the Plan,
        and of any determinations or decisions made thereunder, and the rights
        of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein
        or thereunder, shall be governed by, and determined exclusively and
        solely in accordance with, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
        Pennsylvania.

4.   CREDITING ACCOUNTS.
     ------------------ 

4.1  Commencing in the year 1988, each year on the day following the Annual
     Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, the Company shall credit the
     Account of each Non-Employee Director who serves on the Board on that day
     with the number of Common Stock Equivalents determined by dividing one-half
     of such Director's Retainer by the average closing price of the Common
     Stock in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions during the 5
     days for which such price is available immediately preceding such day of
     crediting.  No more than 10 such Annual Contributions shall be made to each
     Account and the total number of such Annual Contributions to an Account
     under this Section 4.1 plus the number which is multiplied by $10,000 to
     determine the amount credited to the Account under Section 4.2 will not
     exceed 10.

     Equivalents determined by (1) multiplying $10,000 times his or her number

     Service shall not exceed the number determined by subtracting 60 from the
     Non-Employee Director's age on the day immediately following the 1988
     Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (2) then dividing that amount by the
     average closing price of the Common Stock in the New York Stock Exchange
     Composite Transactions during the 5 days for which such price is available
     immediately preceding such day.

5.   PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS.
     -------------------- 

5.1  Only Participants or Eligible Spouses will receive benefits under this
     Plan.  Except as set forth in Section 5.4, the Account of a Non-Employee
     Director will be forfeited if he or she does not become a Participant.

5.2  Benefits will be paid in annual installments each year on May 1 (or on
     the next business day if May 1 is not a business day) commencing the
     first May 1 the Participant is eligible to receive benefits; provided,
     however, that the first payment to a Participant shall not be made until
     6 months and 10 days after the Participant ceases to be a
     Non-Employee Director. The number of annual installments paid to

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
     each Participant shall be equal to his or her number of full fiscal years
     of Service, but shall not exceed 10 annual installments. The number of
     Common Stock Equivalents attributable to each installment shall be equal to
     the whole number obtained by dividing the number of Common Stock
     Equivalents then credited to the Participant's Account by the number of
     unpaid installments. Common Stock Equivalents with respect to which payment
     has not yet occurred shall continue to be credited with Dividend
     Equivalents. As of the date on which the last payment of benefits is made
     to any Participant, the Company shall pay the Participant, in cash,
     calculated in the manner described in Section 5.3, the net amount of any
     remaining fractional Common Stock Equivalent.

5.3  Benefits shall be paid, in the discretion of the Committee, in the form of
     Common Stock or cash; provided that, benefits paid to any Participant who
     becomes eligible to receive benefits under this Plan on or after November
     1, 1990, shall be paid only in cash.  If paid in the form of cash, the
     amount of each payment shall be calculated by multiplying the number of
     Common Stock Equivalents  attributable to such payment by the average
     closing price of the Common Stock in the New York Stock Exchange Composite

5.4  If a Non-Employee Director dies prior to resigning, or after resigning from
     the Board but before becoming eligible to receive benefits hereunder, he or
     she shall be deemed to have become a Participant eligible to receive
     benefits hereunder immediately prior to his or her death, and such benefits
     shall be paid to the Participant's Eligible Spouse.  If a Participant dies
     after becoming eligible to receive benefits hereunder, but prior to
     receiving all the benefits due him or her hereunder, such remaining
     benefits shall be paid to the Participant's Eligible Spouse.  Unpaid
     benefits under this Plan will be forfeited in the event the Participant's
     death and Participant's Eligible Spouse's death occur prior to the total

     stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,

     be made in the number of Common Stock Equivalents and Dividend Equivalents,
     if any, credited to each Account, unless the Committee determines
     otherwise.

7.   ACCELERATION.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the
     ------------                                                            
     payment of benefits hereunder to any Participant or his or her Eligible
     Spouse for reasons of changes in tax laws or in the event of a Change in
     Control of the Company; provided that no payment of benefits may be
     accelerated hereunder to any Participant or his or her Eligible Spouse if
     such Participant was a director of the Company on or after November 1,
     1990.

     An exception is provided for any Non-Employee Director if any income tax
     laws to which he or she is subject would cause him/her to be immediately
     taxed on amounts credited under the Plan.  Under this exception, the
     requirement that age 70 be attained before a Non-Employee Director becomes
     a Participant is automatically waived by the Committee.  Additionally,
     under this exception, the payment of all benefits under the Plan shall
     occur on the first business day which is 6 months and 10 days after the
     earlier of a Participant's resignation from the Board or death.  In the
     event of such Non-Employee Director's death, either while still an active
     member of the Board or after resignation from the Board but before receipt
     of payment from the Plan, payment shall be made to the Participant's
     Eligible Spouse on the above referenced date.

     -----------------                                                     
     Control (as defined above), the Company shall immediately make a payment in
     cash to a trustee on such terms as the Senior Vice President, Human
     Resources, and Administration and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or
     either of them, shall deem appropriate (including such terms as are
     appropriate to cause such payment, if possible, not to be a taxable event
     to Participants) of a sufficient amount to insure that Participants receive
     the payment of all amounts as contemplated under the Plan.

9.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.  The entire cost of benefits and 
     ------------------

      -----------------------

      (a) The Participant shall have the right, at any time and from time
          to time, to designate any person(s) as Beneficiary.  The designation
          of a Beneficiary shall be effective on the date it is received by the
          Administrator, provided the Participant is alive on such date.

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

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

      (d) Any Beneficiary designated by the Participant under the IC Plan
          or MAP filed before January 1, 1996, shall remain in effect for this
          Plan, until a new Beneficiary designation form is filed in accordance
          with this Section 6.02, on or after January 1, 1996.

6.03  Limited Right to Assets of the Corporation
      ------------------------------------------

      The Benefits paid under the Plan shall be paid from the general
      funds of the Company, and the Participants and any Beneficiary shall be no
      more than unsecured general creditors of the Company with no special or
      prior right to any assets of the Company for payment of any obligations
      hereunder.

6.04  Protective Provisions
      ---------------------

      The Participant or Beneficiary shall cooperate with the
      Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the
      Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder. If
      a Participant refuses to cooperate, he/she may be deemed ineligible to
      receive a distribution and/or ineligible to continue to actively
      participate in the Plan.

6.05  Withholding
      -----------

      The Participant or Beneficiary shall make appropriate arrangements
      with the Administrator for satisfaction of any federal, state or local
      income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other employee
      tax requirements applicable to the payment of benefits under the Plan.  If
      no other arrangements are made, the Administrator may provide for such
      withholding and tax payments by any means he deems appropriate, in his
      sole discretion.

      In the event the Company becomes aware that a Participant is engaged
      or employed as a business owner, employee, or consultant in any activity
      which is in competition with any line of business of the Corporation, or
      has engaged in any activity otherwise determined to be detrimental to the
      Company, the Administrative Subcommittee may:

      (a) Terminate such Participant's participation in the Plan, and
          distribute the entire amount in the Participant's Account in a lump
          sum;

      (b) Recalculate all earnings in the Account as though all
          investments had been invested in the Interest Account and accruing
          interest at the Minimum Rate;

      (c) Both (a) and (b) above; or

      (d) Apply any other diminution or forfeiture of benefits, which is
          specifically approved by the Administrative Subcommittee.

                     -------------------------------------

7.01  Administration
      --------------

      (a) The Administrator shall administer the Plan and interpret,
          construe and apply its provisions in accordance with its terms.  The
          Administrator shall have the complete authority to:

          (1) Determine eligibility for benefits;

          (2) Construe the terms of the Plan; and

          (3) Control and manage the operation of the Plan.

      (b) The Administrator shall have the authority to establish rules
          for the administration and interpretation of the Plan and the
          transaction of its business.  The determination of the Administrator
          as to any disputed question shall be conclusive.  All actions,
          decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be performed
          in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.

      (c) The Administrator may employ counsel and other agents and may
          procure such clerical, accounting and other services as the
          Administrator may require in carrying out the provisions of the Plan.

      (d) The Administrator shall not receive any compensation from the
          Plan for his services.

      (e) The Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless the
          Administrator against all expenses and liabilities arising out of the
          Administrator's service as such, excepting only expenses and
          liabilities arising from the Administrator's own gross negligence or
          willful misconduct, as determined by the Committee.

7.02  Claims
      ------

      (a) Every person receiving or claiming benefits under the Plan shall
          be conclusively presumed to be mentally and physically competent and
          of age.  If the Administrator determines that such person is mentally
          or physically incompetent or is a minor, payment shall be made to the
          legally appointed guardian, conservator, or other person who has been
          appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to care for the estate
          of such person, provided that proper proof of such appointment is
          furnished in a form and manner suitable to the Administrator. Any
          payment made under the provisions of the paragraph (a) shall be a

                                  -Page 7.1-
<PAGE>
 
          complete discharge of any liability therefor under the Plan. The
          Administrator shall not be required to see to the proper application
          of any such payment.

     (b)  Claims Procedure
          ----------------

          Claims for benefits by a Participant or Beneficiary shall be filed,
          in writing, with the Administrator.  If the Administrator denies the
          claim, in whole or in part, the Administrator shall furnish a written
          notice to the claimant setting forth a statement of the specific
          reasons for the denial of the claim, references to the specific
          provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based, a description of
          any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim
          and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary,
          and an explanation of the review procedure.  Such notice shall be
          written in a way calculated to be understandable by the claimant.

          The written notice from the Administrator shall be furnished to the
          claimant within ninety (90) days following the date on which the claim
          was filed, except that if special circumstances require an extension
          of time, the Administrator shall notify the claimant of this need
          within such 90-day period.  Such notice shall inform the claimant the
          nature of the circumstances necessitating the need for additional time
          and the date by which the claimant will be furnished with the decision
          regarding the claim.  Such extension may provide for up to an
          additional 90 days.

     (c)  Review Procedure
          ----------------

          Within sixty (60) days of the date the Administrator denies a claim,
          in whole or in part, the claimant, or his/her authorized
          representative, may request that the decision be reviewed.  Such
          request shall be in writing, shall be filed with the Administrator,
          and shall contain the following information:

          (1) The date on which the denial was received by the claimant;

          (2) The date on which the claimant's request for review was filed
              with the Administrator;

          (3) The specific portions of the denial which the claimant requests
              the Administrator to review;

          (4) A statement setting forth the basis on which the claimant
              believes that a review of the decision is required;

                                  -Page 7.2-
<PAGE>
 
          (5) Any written material which the claimant desires the
              Administrator to take into consideration in reviewing the claim.

          The Administrator shall afford the claimant, or his/her authorized
          representative, an opportunity to review documents pertinent to the
          claim, and shall conduct a full and fair review of the claim and its
          denial.  The Administrator's decision on such review shall be
          furnished to the claimant in writing, and shall be written in a manner
          calculated to be understandable to the claimant.  Such decision shall
          include a statement of the specific reason(s) for the decision,
          including references to the specific provision(s) of the Plan relied
          upon.

          The written notice from the Administrator shall be furnished to the
          claimant within sixty (60) days following the date on which the
          request for review was received by the Administrator, except that if
          special circumstances require an extension of time, the Administrator
          shall notify the claimant of this need within such 60-day period.
          Such notice shall inform the claimant the nature of the circumstances
          necessitating the need for additional time and the date by which the
          claimant will be furnished with the decision regarding the claim.
          Such extension may provide for up to an additional 60 days.

                   ----------------------------------------

8.01  Amendment of the Plan
      ---------------------

      Except as provided in Section X, the Committee may amend the Plan, in
      whole or in part, at any time; however, except as provided in Section X,
      no such amendment may decrease the amount of benefit currently accrued in
      Participants' Accounts.

      Except as provided in Section X, the Administrator shall have the
      authority to adopt amendments to the Plan, in whole or in part, at any
      time, necessary for the implementation and/or administration of the Plan,
      which will not result in a material change to the Plan. Moreover, except
      as provided in Section X, no such amendment by the Administrator may
      decrease the amount of benefit currently accrued in Participants'
      Accounts.
 
8.02  Termination of the Plan
      -----------------------

      Except as provided in Section X, the Committee may terminate the
      Plan at any time.   Upon a termination pursuant to this Section 8.02, the
      Committee has the sole discretion to determine distribution schedules for
      any or all Accounts, notwithstanding a Participant's previous distribution
      schedule.

8.03  Constructive Receipt
      --------------------

      In the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred
      under the Plan have been constructively received by Participants and must
      be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, distributions
      shall be made to Participants, as determined by the Administrator. The
      determination of the Administrator under this Section 8.03 shall be
      binding and conclusive.

      provide deferred compensation benefits for "a select group of management
      or highly compensated employees" within the meaning of Sections 201, 301
      and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title
      I of ERISA.

9.03  Trust
      -----

      The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all benefits under the
      Plan. Except as otherwise required by Section X, the Company, at its

      providing for payment of benefits under the Plan. Such trust(s) may be
      irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims of the
      Company's creditors. Benefits paid to the Participant from any such trust
      shall be considered paid by the Company for purposes of meeting the
      obligations of the Company under the Plan.

9.04  Employment Not Guaranteed
      -------------------------

      Nothing contained in the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall
      be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Participant any
      right to continued employment with the Corporation.

9.05  Gender, Singular and Plural
      ---------------------------

      All pronouns and variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the
      masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person(s) requires.

9.07  Validity
      --------

      If any provision of the Plan is held invalid, void or unenforceable,
      the same shall not affect, in any respect, the validity of any other
      provision(s) of the Plan.

9.08  Waiver of Breach
      ----------------

      The waiver by the Company of any breach of any provision of the Plan
      by a Participant or Beneficiary shall not operate or be construed as a
      waiver of any subsequent breach.

9.09  Applicable Law
      --------------

      The Plan is intended to conform and be governed by ERISA.  In any
      case where ERISA does not apply, the Plan shall be governed and construed

                         -----------------------------

10.01  Payments to a Trustee
       ---------------------

       Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in Control, as defined
       in Section 10.02 below, the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
       Administration and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or either of them
       or their successor, shall cause an amount, as they deem appropriate, to
       be paid to a trustee on such terms as they shall deem appropriate
       (including such terms as are appropriate to cause such payment not to be
       a taxable event to Participants, if possible, and to cause such Awards to
       be distributable to Participants in accordance with elections filed with
       the Administrator). Such amount shall be paid in cash and shall be
       sufficient, at a minimum, to equal to all deferred amounts credited to
       the Interest Account, the Savings Plan Interest Account, the PPG Stock
       Account and the Savings Plan PPG Stock Account. Amounts in the PPG Stock
       Account and the Savings Plan PPG Stock Account, shall be converted to
       cash on the basis of the fair market value of PPG Stock on the date of
       the occurrence of the Change in Control, or, if higher, within 30 days of
       such date.

10.02  Definition:  Change in Control
       ------------------------------

       A "Change in Control" shall mean:

      (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
          meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act
          of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial
          ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
          Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares
          of common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common
          Stock") or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding
          voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
          election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities").

          For purposes of this subsection (a) the following acquisitions shall
          not constitute a Change in Control:

          Any acquisition directly from the Company;

          Any acquisition by the Company;

          Any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
          sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled
          by the Company; or

                                  -Page 10.1-
<PAGE>
 
          Any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which
          complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (c) of this
          Section 10.02.

      (b) Individuals who, as of September 20, 1995, constitute the Board
          (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
          majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming
          a director subsequent to such date whose election, or nomination for
          election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at
          least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board
          shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the
          Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual
          whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or
          threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of
          directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
          consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

      (c) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization,
          merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or
          substantially all of the assets of the Company (a "Business
          Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business
          Combination:

          (i)  All or substantially all of the individuals and entities who
               were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding
               Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities
               immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own,
               directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then
               outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power
               of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
               generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of
               the corporation resulting from such Business Combination
               (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result
               of such transaction owns the Company or all or
               substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or
               through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same
               proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such
               Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
               Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be;


          (ii) No Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related
               trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such
               Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly,
               20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of
               common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business

               Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding
               voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that
               such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and

         (iii) At least a majority of the members of the board of directors
               of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
               members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of
               the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing
               for such Business Combination; or

      (d) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete
          liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

      (e) A majority of the Board otherwise determines that a Change in
          Control shall have occurred.

               year;

          (3)  Multiply the result of (2) above by 5%.

     (b)  In no event, may the amount set aside exceed 20% of the cash dividends
          paid on PPG Stock during the year.

          thereon.

     (d)  The Reserve shall be reduced by the amount of all Awards, including
          any deferred amounts, first from the amount, if any, set aside for the
          year to which the Awards relate, and then from the amounts which have
          been in the Reserve for the longest period of time.

     (e)  Unawarded amounts set aside prior to the fourth preceding year shall
          be automatically released from the Reserve and returned to income.

     (f)  The Reserve shall not be reduced by interest or dividend equivalents
          on deferred amounts, dividends paid on restricted shares, negative

          cash.

          unawarded amounts are automatically released from the Reserve and
          returned to income.

7.02  Termination of the Plan
      -----------------------

      The Board or the Committee may terminate the Plan at any time.

      sole discretion to determine distribution schedules for any or all
      Accounts, notwithstanding a Participant's previous distribution schedule.

7.03  Company Action.
      ---------------

      The Company's power to amend or terminate the Plan shall be
      exercisable by the Board or by the Committee, or by any individual

7.04  Constructive Receipt
      --------------------

      In the event the Administrator determines that amounts deferred
      under the Plan have been constructively received by Participants and must
      be recognized as income for federal income tax purposes, distributions
      shall be made to Participants, as determined by the Administrator. The
      determination of the Administrator under this section 7.04 shall be
      binding and conclusive.

8.08  Waiver of Breach
      ----------------

                         SECTION IX CHANGE IN CONTROL
                         ----------------------------

9.01  Change in Control
      -----------------

      (a) Upon, or in reasonable anticipation of, a Change in Control
          (as defined in section 9.02):

          (1)  Awards in the form of cash shall be made for the
               year during which the Change in Control occurs, and then paid
               immediately to a trustee on such terms as the Senior Vice
               President, Human Resources and Administration and the Senior Vice
               President, Finance, or either of them, or their successors, shall
               deem appropriate (including such terms as are appropriate to
               cause such payment, if possible, not to be a taxable event to
               Participants) in order to cause the Awards so paid to be paid
               either not later than the end of the first calendar quarter
               following the end of the year to which the Awards relate or on a
               deferred basis in accordance with the elections of Participants
               then in effect as to the timing of the receipt of Awards for such
               year.

          (2)  Participants who are eligible to receive an Award
               for the Plan Year in which a Change in Control occurs shall be
               eligible to receive an Award for the Plan Year following the
               Change in Control.

          (3)  The amount of the Award payable to each Participant
               shall be:

               one-half of the regular Award if the Change in Control
               occurs during the first six months of the year; or

               the full regular Award, if the Change in Control occurs
               during the second six months of the year

               either calculated at a rating of 12 for all performance
               categories.

          (4)  All deferred amounts credited to the Capital
               Enhancement Account shall be paid immediately to a trustee on
               such terms as the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and
               Administration and the Senior Vice President, Finance, or either
               of them, or their 

                                  -Page 9.1-
<PAGE>
 
               successors shall deem appropriate (including
               such terms as are appropriate to cause such payment, if possible,
               not to be a taxable event to Participants) in order to give
               effect to the elections of Participants with respect to the
               timing of the receipt of such deferred amounts.

      (b) By way of example of the operation of paragraph (a) above:

          If the Change in Control occurred on August 1 of a Plan
          Year, a Participant in a position with 1000 total points and an
          incentive award value of $1.75 per point would receive an Award of no
          less than $21,000 calculated as follows:  1000 x 1.75 x 12 = $21,000.

          If the Change in Control occurred on April 1 of a Plan Year,
          such Participant would receive $10,500.

          If the Plan were to be continued to the end of the year, and
          performance exceeded the 12 rating, a higher Award would be paid.

      (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, if an
          Award ultimately made for such Plan Year is greater than the Award
          made pursuant to this section, the Participant shall be entitled to
          the difference between such Awards.

          If the Participant has elected his/her Award to be deferred,
          payment of such difference shall be made to a trustee in accordance
          with the provisions set forth in subparagraph (a)(4) above.

      (d) For purposes of this section, the fair market value of a
          share of PPG Stock on any date shall be the closing sale price as
          reported for such date (or, if no price is reported for such date, for
          the next preceding date for which a price is reported) on the New York
          Stock Exchange-Composite Tape.

9.02  Definition:  Change in Control
      ------------------------------

      A "Change in Control" shall mean:

      (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within
          the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange
          Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of
          beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated

                                  -Page 9.2-
<PAGE>
 
          either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the
          Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (ii) the
          combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
          the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors
          (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities").




                                  -Page 9.3-
<PAGE>
 
          For purposes of this subsection (a) the following
          acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control:

          Any acquisition directly from the Company;

          Any acquisition by the Company;

          Any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related
          trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation

          Any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction
          which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (c) of
          this section 9.02.

      (b) Individuals who, as of September 20, 1995, constitute the
          Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at
          least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual
          becoming a director subsequent to such date whose election, or
          nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by
          a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
          Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a
          member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
          such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
          of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the
          election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened
          solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other
          than the Board; or

      (c) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
          reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition
          of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a "Business
          Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business
          Combination:

          (i)  All or substantially all of the individuals and
               entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
               Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
               Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination
               beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of,
               respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the
               combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities



                                  -Page 9.4-
<PAGE>
 
               entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the
               case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business
               Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which
               as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or
               substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or
               through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same
               proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such
               Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
               Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be;

          (ii) No Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or
               related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from
               such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or
               indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
               shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
               Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then
               outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the
               extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business
               Combination; and

         (iii) At least a majority of the members of the
               board of directors of the corporation resulting from such
               Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the
               time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action
               of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

      (d) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete
          liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

      (e) A majority of the Board otherwise determines that a Change in
          Control shall have occurred.

NOTES:

The common stock equivalents consist of the shares reserved for issuance under
PPG's stock option plan and deferred under PPG's incentive compensation,
management award and earnings growth plans.

The fully diluted earnings per share calculations are submitted in accordance
with Regulation S-K item 601(b)(11) although not required by footnote 2 to
paragraph 14 of APB Opinion No. 15 because they result in dilution of less than
three percent.

All amounts are in millions except per share data.

                         FINANCIAL AND OPERATING REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
PPG Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PPG Industries, Inc. and sub-
sidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of in-
come and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of mate-
rial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence sup-
porting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement pre-
sentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opin-
ion.
 In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material re-
spects, the financial position of PPG Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in con-
formity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1993,
the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes, postretirement
benefits other than pensions and postemployment benefits.

Responsibility for Preparation of the Financial Statements
The management of PPG Industries, Inc. is responsible for the preparation of

 To ensure the reliability of financial data, PPG has established, and main-
tains, an internal control system. We believe the internal controls in use give
reasonable assurance that financial reports do not contain any material mis-
statement.

accurate in all material respects, and that they were prepared according to
generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements include
amounts that are based on best estimates and judgments of management.
 We believe, further, that the other financial information contained in this

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
PERFORMANCE IN 1995 COMPARED WITH 1994
Overall Performance
Sales in 1995 totaled $7.1 billion, up from the prior year's $6.3 billion. The
majority of the sales increase was attributable to higher overall prices, par-
ticularly for our chlor-alkali, fiber glass and flat glass products. Also con-
tributing to the sales increase were higher volumes from each of our business
segments, combined with the favorable effects of foreign currency translation.
 PPG's gross profit percentage increased to 40% in 1995 from 39% in 1994, pri-
marily as a result of the higher sales prices in all segments. Partially off-
setting the price increases was the negative effects of inflation, particularly
on raw material costs.
 Net income of $768 million in 1995 increased from $515 million in 1994, while
earnings per share rose to $3.80 from $2.43 in 1994. Included in 1995's net in-
come was an after-tax gain of $24 million ($0.12 per share) from a legal set-
tlement of a glass technology dispute with Pilkington plc of England. Net in-
come in 1994 included an after-tax charge of $52 million ($0.24 per share)
related to the divestiture of our Biomedical Systems Division. Our 1995 earn-
ings were affected favorably by the same factors that contributed to our sales
and gross profit percentage improvements. Gains from several legal settlements,
the most significant of which was the settlement with Pilkington, higher earn-
ings from equity affiliates and the absence of significant business divestiture
charges also contributed to the increase. Partially offsetting these improve-
ments were higher selling, general and administrative, and research and devel-
opment expenses as well as increased other charges and income tax expense. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attrib-
utable to the unfavorable impacts of inflation, foreign currency translation
and increased advertising costs. However, selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 13.8% in 1995 from 14.5% in 1994,
reflecting, in part, the effects of continued cost management. The increase in
other charges was principally attributable to settlement of a legal dispute and
higher environmental expenses. While the effective tax rate for both 1995 and
1994 was 38%, income tax expense increased as a result of higher pretax
earnings.
 The increase in earnings per share was attributable to the factors that re-
sulted in the increase in net income, combined with the impact on average
shares outstanding of repurchasing approximately 13.6 million shares of our
common stock during 1995.
 
Results of Business Segments
Coatings and resins sales increased to $2.8 billion from $2.6 billion in 1994.
Operating income for 1995 was $469 million compared with $497 million for 1994.
Contributing to the sales increase were higher volumes in most European product
lines, particularly automotive original products, stronger prices in all prod-
uct lines and the favorable effect of translating European currencies. The ef-
fect of lower North American automotive refinish volume partially offset these
improvements. Operating income declined because of the negative effects of in-
flation, particularly on raw material costs, unfavorable sales mix changes, a
charge to improve productivity in our European operations and a loss on the
sale of our European architectural coatings business. These negative factors
were only partially offset by higher sales prices, increased volumes, gains
from legal settlements and improved manufacturing efficiencies.
 Glass sales increased to $2.7 billion from $2.4 billion in 1994, while operat-
ing income increased to $479 million from $315 million. Contributing to the
sales increase were higher prices, principally for worldwide fiber glass and
flat glass products and North American automotive replacement glass products,
higher volumes in most of the segment's major businesses, principally fiber
glass and automotive original glass products, and the favorable effects of
translating European currencies. The effect of lower volume in North American
automotive replacement glass products partially offset these improvements. The
significant improvement in operating income resulted from the factors that con-
tributed to the sales increase and the gain from the legal settlement with
Pilkington. The negative effects of inflation on our costs partially offset
these improvements.
 Chemicals sales increased to $1.6 billion from $1.3 billion in 1994, and oper-
ating income increased to $383 million from $227 million. The increase in sales
was primarily attributable to substantial price gains for chlor-alkali products
and volume improvements for specialty products, particularly
Transitions(registered trademark) optical lenses. The substantial increase in
operating income was a result of the factors that contributed to the sales
increases. Partially offsetting these improvements were increased
environmental expenses and a charge for a legal settlement. The negative
effects of inflation, particularly on ethylene costs, and higher selling,
general and administrative expenses due, in part, to additional investments in
Transitions(registered trademark) advertising also partially offset these
improvements. In addition, 1994 operating income included a gain from
disposition of our investment in a foreign chemical business.
 The other segment's operating loss in 1994 represents the charge to divest the
Biomedical Systems Division (see Business Divestitures and Realignments on page
24).
  
Other Significant Factors
The increase in other unallocated corporate income-net in 1995 was principally
attributable to higher earnings from our equity affiliates combined with a de-
crease in foreign currency transaction losses.

Outlook
In 1996 PPG expects to face a challenging economic environment, characterized
by moderate global growth. Furthermore, recent signs point to economic soften-
ing, particularly in the North American automotive industry and in Western Eu-
rope in general. Because of PPG's broad diversification, changes in demand for
a particular product line or in a particular geographic area tend to have mini-
mal impact on total sales and earnings. As a result, PPG is more favorably po-
sitioned to withstand negative economic conditions than during similar periods
in the past. Nevertheless, a sharp reduction in economic activity could ad-
versely affect the Company's future financial performance.
 
Accounting Standard
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensa-
tion." The statement is required to be applied to our 1996 financial state-
ments. The new standard defines a fair value method of accounting for stock op-
tions under which compensation cost would be measured at the grant date based
on the fair value of the award and recognized over the service period.
 Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but not required, to
adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based transac-
tions. Companies are permitted to continue to account for such transactions un-
der Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," but would be required to disclose, in a note to the financial
statements, pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share as if the
company had applied the new fair value method of accounting.
 The accounting requirements of the new method are effective for all employee
awards granted after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. PPG has not
yet determined if it will elect to change to the fair value method, nor has it
determined the impact the new standard would have on net income and earnings
per share should it elect to make such a change. Adoption of the new standard
would have no effect on the Company's cash flows.
 
PERFORMANCE IN 1994 COMPARED WITH 1993
Overall Performance
Our 1994 sales totaled $6.3 billion, up from 1993's $5.8 billion. The increase
was attributable to higher sales volumes, including sales from the January 1994
acquisition of Akzo Nobel's European automotive original coatings business,
combined with marginally higher overall prices from each of our segments. Par-
tially offsetting these increases was the absence of sales from the Biomedical
Systems Division and from certain glass businesses that were divested or dis-
continued.
 PPG's gross profit percentage increased to 39% from 37% in 1993. Sales mix
gains, lower manufacturing costs, benefits from substantially divested and dis-
continued businesses, and slightly higher sales prices contributed to the im-
provement. These gains were partially offset by the effects of inflation.
 Net income for 1994 of $515 million increased significantly from $22 million
in 1993, while earnings per share increased to $2.43 from $0.10 in 1993. Net
income for 1993 included a net charge of $273 million ($1.29 per share) for
three accounting changes (see Note 2 to the financial statements). Also in-
cluded were business divestiture and realignment after-tax charges of $96 mil-
lion ($0.45 per share). Our 1994 earnings were favorably affected by the same
factors as our sales volume and gross profit percentage improvements and by
lower interest expense. Partially offsetting these gains were higher income tax
expense, primarily because of increased pre-tax income and an after-tax charge
of $52 million ($0.24 per share) related to divestiture of the Biomedical Sys-
tems Division (see Business Divestitures and Realignments on page 24). Also
partially offsetting the gains were increased research and development costs
and environmental expenses. Excluding the effects, for both years, of business
divestiture and realignment charges and, for 1993, of accounting changes, earn-
ings per share increased $0.83 from 1993.
 
Results of Business Segments
Coatings and resins sales increased to $2.6 billion from $2.3 billion in 1993.
Operating income for the corresponding periods was $497 million and $414 mil-
lion, respectively. Contributing to the sales increase were higher volumes in
each of the segment's major product lines, sales from the January 1994 acquisi-
tion of the Akzo Nobel coatings business, higher prices for worldwide automo-
tive refinish coatings and the July 1994 acquisition of an automotive paint
spray-booth business from Nalco Chemical Company. Partially offsetting these
gains were lower prices for North American automotive original products and the
negative effects of translating Canadian currencies. The increase in operating
income was principally attributable to the higher overall sales volumes, bene-
fits from manufacturing efficiencies and the absence of business divestiture
and realignment charges. Higher overhead costs, the unfavorable effects of in-
flation and Canadian currency translation partly offset these improvements.
 Glass sales increased to $2.4 billion from $2.2 billion in 1993 while operat-
ing income increased to $315 million from $122 million. Higher volumes in each
of the segment's major businesses and higher prices for North American flat,
automotive replacement and fiber glass products contributed to the sales in-
crease. The absence of sales from divested and discontinued businesses and re-
duced prices for worldwide automotive original products partially offset these
improvements. The
<PAGE>
 
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
operating income improvement was primarily attributable to the absence of $78
million of business divestiture and realignment charges recorded in 1993 (see
Business Divestitures and Realignments on page 24), the factors that contrib-
uted to the sales increase, benefits from manufacturing efficiencies and the
absence of operating losses from certain divested or discontinued businesses.
The negative effects of inflation partially offset these gains.
 Chemicals sales increased to $1.3 billion from $1.2 billion in 1993 while op-
erating income increased to $227 million from $133 million. The increase in
sales was primarily attributable to higher volumes in each of the segment's
businesses and higher prices for certain chlorine products. The increase in op-
erating income was principally the result of the factors that contributed to
the sales increases, manufacturing efficiencies and gains from dispositions of
our investment in a foreign chemical business and the segment's polymer addi-
tives business, as well as the absence of business divestiture and realignment
charges. The negative effects of inflation, particularly on ethylene costs,
partially offset these improvements.
 The other segment's 1994 operating loss resulted from an $85 million charge
for the divestment of the Biomedical Systems Division. The 1993 operating loss
is comprised of a $38 million charge for this planned divestiture as well as
operating losses of the division for the year. (See Business Divestitures and
Realignments on page 24.)
 
Other Significant Factors
The increase in research and development expense-net was primarily attributable
to higher expenses in Europe associated with the global automotive original
coatings business, partially offset by the absence of expenses from certain
divested businesses.
 The decline in interest expense was primarily due to lower overall average
short-term borrowings during 1994 versus 1993.
 The increase in other charges was principally the result of higher environmen-
tal expenses, charges incurred for the relocation of an administrative office
and losses from the retirement of certain property.
 The increase in other unallocated corporate expense-net was principally due to
the absence of the gain on the sale of our interest in an insurance company
that was realized in
1993, an increase in our charitable contribution to the PPG Foundation and a
minor charge related to the effect of the Mexican peso devaluation.
 Income tax expense increased to $325 million from $236 million in 1993, prin-
cipally as a result of the significant increase in pre-tax income, partially
offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate, which was primarily attribut-
able to reduced losses at certain of our foreign operations in 1994 (see Note 7
to the financial statements).
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it
is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. As of Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, PPG had reserves for environmental
contingencies totaling $100 million and $90 million, respectively. Charges
against income for environmental remediation costs in 1995, 1994 and 1993 to-
taled $49 million, $36 million and $23 million, respectively. Related cash out-
lays aggregated $39 million, $36 million and $40 million in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
 Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental con-
tingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not result
in future annual charges against income that are significantly greater than
those recorded in 1995. It is possible, however, that technological, regulatory
and enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other
factors could alter this expectation. In management's opinion, the Company op-
erates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of these environmen-
tal matters will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or li-
quidity.
 In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject to
loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end
to be as much as $200 million to $400 million. Such aggregate losses are rea-
sonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of occurrence.
The Company's environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over a
period of 20 years or more. These loss contingencies include significant unre-
solved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination, if any, at sites
and the methods that may have to be employed should remediation be required.
Although insurance may cover a portion of these costs, to the extent they are
incurred, any potential recovery is not included in this unrecorded exposure to
future loss. With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of
any other potentially responsible parties also contributes to the uncertainty
of estimating PPG's final costs. Although contributors of waste to sites in-
volving other potentially responsible parties may face governmental agency as-
sertions of joint and several liability, in general, final allocations of costs
are made based on the relative contributions of
wastes to such sites. PPG is generally not a major contributor to such sites.
Although the unrecorded exposure to future loss relates to all sites, a signif-
icant portion of such unrecorded exposure involves three operating plant sites
and one closed plant site. Two of the sites are in the early stages of study,
while the remaining two are further into the study phase. All four sites re-
quire additional study to assess the magnitude of contamination, if any, and
the remediation alternatives.
<PAGE>
 
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental con-
tingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing
and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such
environmental contingencies.
 
BUSINESS DIVESTITURES AND REALIGNMENTS
PPG's results reflect the impact of the Company's continuing programs to divest
or realign businesses and activities not meeting strategic or performance ob-
jectives. In 1995 the impact of business divestitures and realignments was not
significant.
 These programs resulted in pre-tax charges of $85 million and $126 million in
1994 and 1993, respectively. The 1994 charge pertained to the divestiture of
the Biomedical Systems Division. Approximately $60 million of the charge re-
lated to a reduction of the proceeds expected to be received upon divestiture
of the division's sensors business, reflecting the general decline in health-
care and related markets. A $13 million charge also was taken for additional
operating losses anticipated because of extension of the expected disposal date
as well as actual operating losses exceeding those originally estimated. With
the sale of the sensors business in January 1995, the divestiture of the Bio-
medical Systems Division was completed.
 The Company's $126 million business divestiture and realignment charges in
1993 consisted of $78 million related to the glass segment, $38 million to the
other segment, involving the Biomedical Systems Division, and $5 million each
to the coatings and resins and the chemicals segments.
 Of the glass segment's charges, approximately $71 million related to the
shutdown of two manufacturing facilities, discontinuation of the commercial
products business and disposition of the architectural metals business. One of
the manufacturing facilities, which had previously been temporarily idled, was
permanently closed because management concluded that the market for its
products would not support operation of the facility. Management also decided
to close the second facility because of the segment's overcapacity for the
plant's products, and operating earnings could be increased through the
reallocation of its production to more efficient facilities. The decision to
exit the commercial products business was due principally to its disappointing
operating performance. The architectural metals business was
sold because it was not a core operation of the glass segment and it also
experienced unfavorable operating results.
 Since the Company's acquisition of the Biomedical Systems Division, it had
consistently reported disappointing operating results. Moreover, this business
had not blended well with PPG's other major segments and proved to be difficult
to manage under the continually changing business environment in which it oper-
ated. As a result, management decided to divest
the division in the fourth quarter of 1993 and recorded a charge of $38 million
in that quarter. The charge was principally based on anticipated sales proceeds
from the divestiture of the sensors and medical electronics businesses of ap-
proximately $65 million and $50 million, respectively. Such amounts resulted in
an estimated net loss of $5 million. In addition, $30 million of operating
losses anticipated through the expected disposal date were accrued.
 In addition to the components of the Biomedical Systems Division provision
given above, significant components of the 1993 business divestiture and re-
alignment charges included charges for the retirement or write-off of operating
assets with net book values of approximately $31 million, severance and benefit
costs of $17 million, incremental workers' compensation accruals of $10 mil-
lion, environmental accruals of $9 million, anticipated future operating losses
of $6 million through the expected disposal dates for the commercial products
and architectural metals businesses, and charges of approximately $2 million
for the disposition of operating assets (net of anticipated sales proceeds of
$16 million).
 To a large extent the charges recorded in 1994 and 1993 are expected to be re-
covered in the future through the absence of historical operating losses for
the Biomedical Systems Division. Such operating losses were approximately $61
million, $13 million and $23 million for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
 With the exception of the 1994 charge related to the divestiture of the Bio-
medical Systems Division, there have not been significant changes in the
Company's plans for implementing business divestiture and realignment programs
undertaken in prior years.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
PPG's financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, which does
not completely account for the effects of inflation. Since the cost of most of
the Company's inventories is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method, the cost of sales reported in the financial statements approximates
current costs.
 In 1995 the negative effects of inflation on our costs were more than offset,
for the Company as a whole, by price increases and improved operating efficien-
cies. In 1994 and 1993, our operating results were negatively affected as in-
creased production costs, resulting from inflation, were not fully recovered
through price increases. While inflationary pressure on costs is expected to
continue, we anticipate that actions already initiated to improve operating ef-
ficiencies and reduce overhead costs in each of our business units, as well as
increases in selling prices for certain products, will partially offset the
negative impact of inflation on 1996 operating income.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES, CAPITAL SPENDING
Over the past three years, we continued to have sufficient financial resources
to meet operating requirements, to fund our capital spending, share repurchase
programs and pension contributions, and to pay increased dividends to share-
holders. Cash from operating activities was $1,072 million in 1995, $691 mil-
lion in 1994 and $741 million in 1993. Dividends paid to shareholders in 1995
totaled $239 million, up from $238 million in 1994 and $221 million in 1993.
Contributions to U.S. pension plans totaled $146 million, $139 million and $134
million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 During 1995, PPG repurchased approximately 13.5 million shares of common stock
at a cost of $585 million under three separate share repurchase programs. A
6.5-million-share repurchase program initiated in October 1994 was completed in
January 1995. Additionally, PPG initiated two 10-million-share repurchase pro-
grams in 1995. The first program, which was completed at a cost of $434 mil-
lion, began in April 1995 and was completed in October 1995. The second program
was initiated in October 1995 and, as of Dec. 31, 1995, 2.7 million shares of
common stock had been repurchased thereunder at a cost of $121 million. The re-
purchase of common stock during 1995 was financed principally by cash from op-
erations.
 In 1995 long-term debt was increased principally by the issuance of $100 mil-
lion of non-callable 6 7/8% notes partially offset by scheduled debt repay-
ments. Long-term debt was reduced in 1993 principally by the repayment of $112
million of European and $58 million of Canadian obligations.
 Capital spending in 1995 totaled $454 million, compared with $356 million in
1994 and $293 million in 1993. This spending related to modernization and pro-
ductivity improvements, expansion of existing businesses, environmental control
projects and, in 1995, 1994 and 1993, business acquisitions totaling $7 mil-
lion, $34 million and $36 million, respectively. Additionally, a 1995 acquisi-
tion was financed through issuance of treasury stock with a market value ap-
proximating $15 million. Capital spending of a similar nature, excluding any
for major acquisitions, is expected to total about $500 million during 1996.
 The ratio of total debt, including capital leases, to total debt and equity
was 32% and 31% at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Cash from operations
and the Company's debt capacity are expected to continue to be sufficient to
fund capital spending, dividend payments, share repurchases and operating re-
quirements.
 See Note 4, Debt and Bank Credit Agreements and Leases, for details regarding
our use and availability of committed and uncommitted lines of credit. In addi-
tion to our lines of credit, the Company may issue up to $600 million aggregate
principal amount of debt securities under shelf registration statements filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY, INTEREST RATE AND COMMODITY PRICE RISK
As a multinational company, PPG manages its transaction exposure to foreign
currency risk to minimize the volatility of cash flows caused by currency fluc-
tuations. The Company manages its foreign currency transaction exposures prin-
cipally through the purchase of forward and option contracts. It does not man-
age its exposure to translation gains and losses; however, by borrowing in
local currencies it reduces such exposure. The fair value of the forward and
option contracts purchased and outstanding as of Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, was
not material.
 The Company manages its interest rate risk in order to balance its exposure
between fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest
costs. PPG principally manages its interest rate risk by retiring and issuing
debt from time to time. To a limited extent, PPG manages its interest rate risk
through the purchase of interest rate swaps. As of Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, the
notional principal amount and fair value of interest rate swaps held were not
material.
 The Company also uses commodity swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluc-
tuations in prices for natural gas. The fair value of such swap contracts pur-
chased and outstanding as of Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, was not material.
 PPG's policies do not permit active trading of, or speculation in, derivative
instruments.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PPG Industries,
Inc. (PPG or the Company) and all significant subsidiaries, U.S. and non-U.S.,
of which we own more than 50% of the voting stock. Investments in companies of
which we own 20% to 50% of the voting stock are carried at equity, and our
share of the earnings or losses of such equity affiliates is included in the
statement of income. Transactions between PPG and its subsidiaries are elimi-
nated in consolidation.
 
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting pe-
riod. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign currency translation
For all significant non-U.S. operations, the functional currency is the local
currency. Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S.
dollars using year-end exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using
the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Translation adjustments
are deferred as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
 
Inventories
Most U.S. and certain non-U.S. inventories are stated at cost, using the last-
in, first-out (LIFO) method, which does not exceed market. Other inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. We determine cost using either aver-
age or standard factory costs, which approximate actual costs, excluding cer-
tain fixed costs such as depreciation and property taxes.
 
Property
Property is recorded at cost. We compute depreciation by the straight-line
method based on the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Additional
expense is recorded when facilities or equipment are subject to abnormal eco-
nomic conditions or obsolescence. Significant improvements that add to produc-
tive capacity or extend the lives of properties are capitalized. Costs for re-
pairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is
retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed
from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income. Amor-
tization of the cost of capitalized leased assets is included in depreciation
expense. Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived As-
sets to Be Disposed Of," resulted in no impact on net income.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
We account for our employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) in accordance with
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 93-6 for PPG common stock purchased after Dec.
31, 1992 (new ESOP shares). As permitted by SOP No. 93-6, shares purchased
prior to Dec. 31, 1992 (old ESOP shares) continue to be accounted for in accor-
dance with SOP No. 76-3. ESOP shares are released and allocated to participants
based upon debt service paid during the year on loans used by the ESOP to pur-
chase the shares. Unearned compensation, reflected as a reduction of sharehold-
ers' equity, principally represents the unpaid balance of such ESOP loans. Div-
idends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service.
 For old ESOP shares, compensation expense is equal to amounts contributed, or
committed to be contributed, to the ESOP by the Company less the ESOP interest
expense element of such contributions. Dividends on old ESOP shares are de-
ducted from retained earnings. Old ESOP shares are considered to be outstanding
in computing earnings per share.
 For new ESOP shares, compensation expense is equal to the Company's matching
contribution (see Note 9). Dividends on released new ESOP shares are deducted
from retained earnings, and dividends on unreleased shares are reported as a
reduction of debt or accrued interest. Only new ESOP shares that have been re-
leased are considered outstanding in computing earnings per share.
 
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments (valued at cost, which approxi-
mates fair value) acquired with an original maturity of three months or less.
 
Derivative instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge the Company's foreign cur-
rency and interest rate exposures. Income and expense are recorded in the same
caption as that arising from the related asset or liability being hedged. Pre-
miums paid on option contracts are amortized over the lives of the contracts.
 Gains and losses related to hedges of firm commitments are deferred and recog-
nized over the expected remaining lives of the related assets and liabilities.
Unrealized gains and losses from option contracts that hedge anticipated trans-
actions are also deferred and recognized in income in the same period as the
hedged transactions. Unrealized gains and losses from forward contracts that
hedge anticipated transactions are not deferred.
 The Company also uses commodity swap contracts to reduce its exposure to fluc-
tuations in prices for natural gas.

                                     NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized in income in
the same period as the hedged transactions.
 The fair value of derivative instruments as of Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, was not
material. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for specula-
tive purposes and therefore holds no derivative instruments for trading purpos-
es.
 
2. CHANGES IN METHODS OF ACCOUNTING
In 1993 the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This standard requires accrual,
during the years that the employee renders the necessary services, of the ex-
pected cost of providing postretirement benefits to an employee and the employ-
ee's covered dependents. Previously, the Company recognized these costs as ben-
efits were paid. PPG elected to recognize immediately the cumulative effect of
this accounting change, which resulted in an after-tax charge as of Jan. 1,
1993, of $357.1 million (including $6.4 million for an equity affiliate). The
incremental after-tax impact of accruing the cost of these postretirement bene-
fits for 1993 was not material.
 The Company also adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in 1993.
This standard requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for income
taxes. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax effects of
(1) temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes
and (2) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax as-
sets, such as benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards, are recog-
nized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
Changes in enacted tax rates or laws result in adjustments to the recorded de-
ferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which the tax law is
enacted.
 The $90.4 million cumulative effect of this accounting change as of Jan. 1,
1993, was credited to income in 1993. The effect of the accounting change on
1993 net income, exclusive of the cumulative effect as of Jan. 1, 1993, was not
material. Previously, the Company applied the deferral method specified in Ac-
counting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 to provide for deferred income taxes
with respect to timing differences between the recognition of income and ex-
pense items for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes.
 In 1993 the Company also adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This standard requires an accrual
method of recognizing the cost of postemployment benefits, such as disability,
severance and workers' compensation benefits. Since the Company previously ac-
counted for most of these benefits on an accrual basis, the cumulative after-
tax charge of the accounting change as of Jan. 1, 1993, was only $6.1 million.
The incremental after-tax impact of accruing the cost of these benefits for
1993 was not material.

(1) See Note 9 discussing ESOP borrowings. Fixed-rate notes of $75 million and
    variable-rate notes of $22 million mature, with bullet payments, in 1996.
    The remaining fixed- and variable-rate notes mature in 2009 and require
    annual payments from 1996 to 2008.
Aggregate maturities during the next five years are (in millions) $144.0 in
1996, $53.2 in 1997, $54.9 in 1998, $169.6 in 1999 and $31.8 in 2000.
 The Company has revolving credit agreements with credit lines totaling $565
million. Of these credit lines, $550 million will expire in December 1999 and
require payment of annual fees equal to nine basis points on the unused portion
of the lines. These lines support our commercial paper programs in the United
States, Canada and the Netherlands. The remaining $15 million will expire in
September 1996 and require payment of annual fees equal to 12.5 basis points on
the unused portion of the line. PPG may cancel all or part of these credit
agreements at any time without penalty or premium. At Dec. 31, 1995, we had
used $6 million of these lines of credit.
 Our non-U.S. operations have uncommitted lines of credit totaling $476 mil-
lion, of which $181 million was used at Dec. 31, 1995. There are no commitment
fees for these lines of credit, and they may be canceled at any time. Addition-
ally, our non-U.S. operations have two committed credit agreements totaling $46
million, including an agreement as to which $40 million expires in June 1997
and does not involve the payment of a fee. The other agreement expires in Sep-
tember 1996 and requires the payment of a fee of 12.5 basis points on the un-
used portion of the line of credit. At Dec. 31, 1995, we had used $6 million of
these committed credit lines.
 In addition to our lines of credit, the Company may issue up to $600 million
aggregate principal amount of debt securities under shelf registration state-
ments filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 PPG is in compliance with the restrictive covenants under its various credit
agreements, loan agreements and indentures.
 The Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, balances for "Short-term debt and current portion
of long-term debt" include, respectively, $96 million and $141 million of
commercial paper and $245 million and $197 million of short-term notes. The
weighted average interest rates of short-term borrowings as of Dec. 31, 1995
and 1994, were 7.1% and 6.3%, respectively.
 Interest payments in 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $91 million, $93 million and
$112 million, respectively.
 Rental expense for operating leases was $67 million in 1995 and $60 million

</TABLE>
(1) Treasury stock share amounts from Jan. 1, 1994, to the date of the 100%
stock distribution are on a pre-split basis. Shares purchased and issued in 1994
on a post-split basis were 7,457,400 and 914,349 respectively.

A class of 10 million shares of preferred stock, without par value, is autho-
rized but unissued. Common stock has a par value of $1.66 2/3 per share and 600
million shares are authorized. Shares outstanding at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994,
exclude unreleased new ESOP shares (see Note 9).
 PPG has a Shareholders' Rights Plan, under which each share of the Company's
outstanding common stock has an associated preferred share purchase right. The
rights are exercisable only under certain circumstances and allow holders of
such rights to purchase common stock of PPG or an acquiring company at a dis-
counted price, which generally would be 50% of the respective stocks' current
fair market value.
 Per share cash dividends paid were $1.18 in 1995 and, after giving effect to
the 1994 two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock distribution,
$1.12 in 1994 and $1.04 in 1993.
 
6. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES AND REALIGNMENTS
PPG's results reflect the impact of the Company's continuing programs to divest
or realign certain businesses and activities not meeting strategic and perfor-
mance objectives. In 1995 the impact of business divestitures and realignments
was not significant.
 During 1994 and 1993, these programs included the closing, idling, relocation,
downsizing or sale of certain businesses or facilities and write-downs for de-
clines in the value of property.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These actions resulted in net pre-tax charges of $85.0 million and $126.4 mil-
lion in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 The 1994 charge pertained to the divestiture of the Biomedical Systems Divi-
sion. With the sale of the sensors business in January 1995, the divestiture of
the Biomedical Systems Division was completed. In addition to a $38 million
charge related to the plan for the divestiture of the Biomedical Systems Divi-
sion, the charges for 1993 involved further streamlining in our glass segment,
including costs associated with selected plant closings, permanent shutdowns of
inactive facilities and disposition of a commercial construction fabrication
operation. The 1993 charges also included costs for streamlining our European
coatings and resins operations. Refer to the Business Divestitures and
Realignments section in Management's Discussion and Analysis for further de-
tails regarding these charges.
 
7. INCOME TAXES
As described in Note 2, the Company changed its method of accounting for income
taxes effective Jan. 1, 1993, from the deferred method to the liability method
required by SFAS No. 109.
 The following is a reconciliation of the statutory U.S. corporate federal in-
come tax rate to the effective income tax rate.

</TABLE>
 The reduction in the 1994 effective tax rate, as compared to 1993, was primar-
ily attributable to higher losses incurred at our European subsidiaries in 1993
(primarily related to the Biomedical Systems Division), for which we were un-
able to record any income tax benefit. The 1993 effective tax rate was abnor-
mally high as a result of the effect of these European losses (with no corre-
sponding tax benefit realized), partially offset by the benefits from
utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for a domestic subsidiary
as well as a change under SFAS No. 109 regarding recognition of tax benefits
related to our ESOP.
 At Dec. 31, 1995, subsidiaries of the Company had available NOL carryforwards
of approximately $231.5 million for income tax purposes, of which $228.0 mil-
lion have an indefinite expiration and $3.5 million expire in the year 2000.
 The following table gives details of income tax expense in the statement of
income. A portion of these taxes will be payable within one year and is there-
fore shown below as "Current income taxes," while the balance is shown as "De-
ferred income taxes."

 The majority of the NOL carryforwards relate to operations of subsidiaries in
countries permitting indefinite carryforward of losses. Generally, the valua-
tion allowance has been established for these carryforwards because the ability
to utilize them is uncertain.

 Income (loss) before income taxes resulting from non-U.S. operations for 1995,
1994 and 1993 was $257.3 million, $126.7 million and $(.8) million, respective-
ly.
 No deferred U.S. income taxes have been provided on certain undistributed
earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, which have been reinvested indefinitely,
and, which amounted to $462 million and $371 million at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. It is not practicable to determine the deferred tax liability on
these earnings.
 The Internal Revenue Service has examined our U.S. federal income tax returns
through 1988, and we have paid all tax claims.
 Income tax payments in 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $358 million, $254 million
and $210 million, respectively.
 
8. PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension benefits
We have noncontributory defined benefit pension plans that cover certain em-
ployees worldwide. Benefits under these plans are based on years of service and
salaries or on stated amounts for each year of service. Our funding policy for
all plans is consistent with applicable governmental requirements. We provide
for obligations for all plans by depositing funds with trustees, by purchasing
insurance policies or by recording financial statement accruals. Pension plan
assets held in trust consist of fixed-income investments and equity securities.
 Net periodic pension cost includes the following components:

 Other assets in the balance sheet.
 We determined the projected benefit obligation using weighted average discount
rates of 6.9% at Dec. 31, 1995, and 8.8% at Dec. 31, 1994, which change in-
creased the PBO. For those plans that provide benefits based on salaries in the
final years of employment, the assumed long-term rate of increase in salaries
was 4.7% at Dec. 31, 1995, and 4.5% at Dec. 31, 1994. The accrued pension lia-
bility, reflected in the balance sheet, included $4.9 million and $4.1 million
at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, for defined contribution plans.
 Pension cost, which includes costs for defined contribution plans, multi-em-
ployer defined benefit pension plans and the net periodic pension cost shown
above, was $7.5 million, $13.2 million and $14.4 million in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

                                     NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 In November 1993, the Company contributed 2,900,042 shares of PPG stock with a
fair market value of $101.9 million to certain qualified U.S. pension plan
trusts. As of both Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately 8% of plan assets at
fair value were held in PPG common stock.
 
Other postretirement benefits
PPG sponsors defined benefit plans that provide medical and life insurance ben-
efits to nearly all of its retired employees in the United States and certain
retired employees in Canada. These plans also cover the employees' spouse and
dependents. At Dec. 31, 1995, the U.S. plans had provisions that capped the
cost of postretirement medical benefits at 2003 levels for most current retir-
ees and certain future retirees covered by bargaining plans, as well as current
and future retirees covered by nonbargaining plans. Salaried and certain wage
employees hired after Jan. 31, 1993, will not be entitled to postretirement
medical benefits. Many of our plans include cost sharing provisions, such as
co-insurance and deductibles, and require participant contributions based upon
elected coverage. The plans also coordinate benefits with Medicare for those
employees who are 65 and older or transfers the health care risk to Medicare
health maintenance organizations. Life insurance benefits for retirees covered
by nonbargaining plans are calculated at approximately 50% of the retirees' fi-
nal base pay or 25% of retirees' final base pay plus a monthly survivor income
benefit. For most bargaining units the benefits are based upon negotiated flat
dollar amounts. Our Canadian plans provide postretirement medical and life in-
surance benefits that supplement benefits provided and paid for under the Cana-
dian health care system. The Company's postretirement medical and life insur-
ance plans are unfunded.
 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost includes the following components:

====================================================================
</TABLE>
 The APBO increased approximately $91 million in January 1995 as a result of
deferring the cap on benefits from 1996 to 2003.
 The weighted average discount rate used in determining the APBO was 6.8% at
Dec. 31, 1995, and 8.8% at Dec. 31, 1994, which change increased the APBO. The
assumed health care cost trend rate was 8.0% for 1995 and 7.7% for 1996, de-
clining ratably to 4.0% by the year 2007. If these trend rates were increased
by one percentage point per year, the APBO and the aggregate of the service and
interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost would
increase by approximately 5.7% and 6.1%, respectively.
 
9. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Our employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) covers substantially all U. S. employ-
ees. The Company makes matching contributions to the ESOP based upon partici-
pant's savings, subject to certain limitations, and a matching percentage based
upon our return on average equity for the previous year.
 In 1989 and 1990, the ESOP purchased 13,400,334 shares of PPG common stock
(old ESOP shares) from the Company and on the open market. The ESOP purchased
631,748 and 560,197 shares of PPG common stock (new ESOP shares) on the open
market in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The ESOP financed these purchases
through a combination of borrowings guaranteed by PPG and borrowings directly
from PPG. Borrowings from third-parties to finance these purchases are included
in debt in our balance sheet (see Note 4).
 Compensation expense (credit) related to the ESOP for 1995, 1994 and 1993 to-
taled $18.0 million, $(1.4) million and $(.1) million, respectively. Interest
expense totaled $12 million, $10 million and $11 million for 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. Dividends on PPG shares held by the ESOP, to service

Under PPG's stock option plan, certain employees of the Company have been
granted stock options. The price at which shares of common stock may be pur-
chased upon the exercise of an option may not be less than the fair market
value of the shares on the date the option was granted. Options are exercisable
beginning from six to 12 months after issuance.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential,
including some which it has asserted against others, in which substantial money
damages are sought. Management believes that the outcome of such lawsuits and
claims, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on PPG's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it
is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. As of Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, PPG had reserves for environmental
contingencies totaling $100 million and $90 million, respectively. Charges
against income for environmental remediation costs in 1995, 1994 and 1993 to-
taled $49 million, $36 million and $23 million, respectively. Related cash out-
lays aggregated $39 million, $36 million and $40 million in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
 Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental con-
tingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not result
in future annual charges against income that are significantly greater than
those recorded in 1995. It is possible, however, that technological, regulatory
and enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other
factors could alter this expectation. In management's opinion, the Company op-
erates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of these environmen-
tal matters will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or li-
quidity.
 In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject to
loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end
to be as much as $200 million to $400 million. Such aggregate losses are rea-
sonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of occurrence.
The Company's environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over a
period of 20 years or more. These loss contingencies include significant unre-
solved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination, if any, at sites
and the methods that may have to be employed should remediation be required.
Although insurance may cover a portion of these costs, to the extent they are
incurred, any potential recovery is not included in this unrecorded exposure to
future loss. With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of
any other potentially responsible parties also contributes to the uncertainty
of estimating PPG's final costs. Although contributors of waste to sites in-
volving other poten-
<PAGE>
 
                                     NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tially responsible parties may face governmental agency assertions of joint and
several liability, in general, final allocations of costs are made based on the
relative contributions of wastes to such sites. PPG is generally not a major
contributor to such sites. Although the unrecorded exposure to future loss re-
lates to all sites, a significant portion of such unrecorded exposure involves
three operating plant sites and one closed plant site. Two of the sites are in
the early stages of study, while the remaining two are further into the study
phase. All four sites require additional study to assess the magnitude of con-
tamination, if any, and the remediation alternatives.
 The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental con-
tingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing
and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such
environmental contingencies.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Included in PPG's financial instrument portfolio are cash and cash equivalents,
Company-owned life insurance, derivative financial instruments and short- and
long-term debt instruments. The most significant instrument, long-term debt
(excluding capital lease obligations), had carrying and fair values totaling
$851 million and $923 million, respectively, at Dec. 31, 1995. The correspond-
ing amounts at Dec. 31, 1994, were $776 million and $790 million, respectively.
The fair values of the other instruments approximated their carrying values.
 The fair values of the debt instruments were based upon quoted market prices
of the same or similar instruments or on the rates available to the Company for
instruments of the same remaining maturities.

All amounts are in millions of dollars except per share data and number of
employees.
All data was adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock splits payable on June
10, 1994, and on March 12, 1987.
(1) The 1993 changes in methods of accounting relate to the adoption of SFAS
    No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
    Pensions"; SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," and SFAS No. 112,
    "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." The 1991 change in the
    method of accounting relates to the cost of rebuilding glass and fiber
    glass melting facilities. The effect of all the changes on net income in
    the years of change, exclusive of the cumulative effect to Jan. 1 of the
    year of change and the pro forma effect on individual prior years' net
    income, was not material.
(2) Average equity and return on average equity for 1993 were calculated and
    presented inclusive and exclusive of the cumulative effect of the
    accounting changes.
(3) Price/earnings ratios were calculated based on high and low market prices
    during the year and the respective years' earnings per share. The 1993 and
    1991 ratios were calculated and presented exclusive of the cumulative
    effect of the accounting changes.
