In the event of any dispute as to whether Employee is disabled, the matter shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in consultation with a physician selected by the Company’s health or disability insurer or another physician mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Employee. The Employee shall cooperate with the efforts to make such determination or be subject to immediate discharge. Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Any determination of disability under this Section 3.1 is not intended to alter any benefits any party may be entitled to receive under any long-term disability insurance policy carried by either the Company or Employee with respect to Employee, which benefits shall be governed solely by the terms of any such insurance policy. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as limiting or altering any of Employee’s rights under State workers compensation laws or State or federal Family and Medical Leave laws.

Immediately upon termination of employment, Employee will return to the Company, and so certify in writing to the Company, all the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ papers, documents and things, including information stored for use in or with computers and software applicable to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business (and all copies thereof), which are in Employee’s possession or under Employee’s control, regardless whether such papers, documents or things contain Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

4.5     No Conflicts. To the extent that they exist, Employee will not disclose to the Company or any of its subsidiaries any of Employee’s previous employer’s confidential information or trade secrets.

4.7     Equitable Relief and Remedies. Employee acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement will cause substantial and irreparable harm to the Company for which money damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of Article V below, the Company shall in any such event be entitled to seek injunctive and other forms of equitable relief to prevent such breach and the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other, the prevailing party’s costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with enforcing this Agreement, in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity, by statute or pursuant to Article V below.

The Company and Employee agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or Employee’s employment with or termination by the Company that is not resolved by the parties shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Said arbitration shall be conducted in Lexington, Kentucky. The parties further agree that the arbitrator may resolve issues of contract interpretation as well as law and award damages, if any, to the extent provided by the Agreement or applicable law. The parties agree that the costs of the arbitrator’s services shall be borne by the Company. The parties further agree that the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitrator’s authority shall include the ability to render equitable types of relief and, in such event, any aforesaid court may enter an order enjoining and/or compelling such actions or relief ordered or as found by the arbitrator. The arbitrator also shall make a determination regarding which party’s legal position in any such controversy or claim is the more substantially correct (the “Prevailing Party”) and the arbitrator shall require the other party to pay the legal and other professional fees and costs incurred by the Prevailing Party in connection with such arbitration proceeding and any necessary court action.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, the parties expressly agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may enter a temporary restraining order or an order enjoining a breach of Article IV of this Agreement without submission of the underlying dispute to an arbitrator. Such remedy shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled.

6.1     Notices. Any and all notices provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed given to a party at the earlier of (i) when actually delivered to such party, or (ii) when mailed to such party by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or sent to such party by courier, confirmed by receipt, and addressed to such party at the address designated below for such party as follows (or to such other address for such party as such party may have substituted by notice pursuant to this Section 6.1):

6.6     Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of the breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by either party.

(a)     The Company may withhold from any amounts payable hereunder any amounts required to be withheld under federal, state or local law and any other deductions authorized by Employee. The Company and the Employee agree that they will execute any and all amendments to this Agreement as they mutually agree in good faith may be necessary to ensure compliance with

the provisions of Section 409A (together with any implementing regulations, “Section 409A”) of the Code while preserving insofar as possible the economic intent of the respective provisions, so that Employee will not be subject to any tax (including interest and penalties) under Section 409A.

(b)     For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

(c)     With respect to any reimbursement of expenses of, or any provision of in-kind benefits to, the Employee, as specified under this Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “specified employee” as determined pursuant to Section 409A as of the date of Employee’s “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation) and if any payments or entitlements provided for in this Agreement constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and cannot be paid or provided in the manner provided herein without subjecting Employee to additional tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A, then any such payment or entitlement which is payable during the first six months following Employee’s “separation from service” shall be paid or provided to Employee in a cash lump-sum on the first business day of the seventh calendar month immediately following the month in which Employee’s “separation from service” occurs or, if earlier, upon the Employee’s death. In addition, any payments or benefits due hereunder upon a termination of Employee’s employment which are a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be payable or provided to Employee (or Employee’s estate) upon a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A. Finally, for the purposes of this Agreement, amounts payable under Section 3.2 shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1 – A-6.

(e)    Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (for example, "payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of termination"), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. In no event may Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement, to the extent such payment is subject to Code Section 409A.

Date: October 13, 2017

Exhibits:

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 13, 2017, is between Tempur Sealy International, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the individual identified below (the “Recipient”).

1.Award of Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant and subject to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), the Company grants the Recipient an award (the “Award”) for ______ restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”), each representing the right to a share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Stock”) on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Award is granted as of October 13, 2017 (the “Grant Date”) and is intended to qualify as a Qualified Performance-Based Award.

2.    Rights of Restricted Stock Units. If the Company declares and pays a dividend or other distribution with respect to the outstanding Common Stock (collectively “Stock Payments”) at or before the issuance of the Stock to the Recipient pursuant to Section 4(g), then the Company shall pay to the Recipient, at the time it delivers the Stock pursuant to Section 4(g) (the “Delivered Shares”), the Stock Payments that would have been paid on the Delivered Shares had they been outstanding at the time the Stock Payments were made. In no event will any Stock Payment be paid to the Recipient prior to delivery of Delivered Shares, and if the Restricted Stock Units do not vest for any reason then no Stock Payments will ever be paid with respect thereto and all rights thereto will be forfeited. Except for the contingent rights described in the preceding sentence, unless and until the vesting conditions of the Award have been satisfied and the Recipient has received the shares of Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions described herein, the Recipient shall have none of the attributes of ownership with respect to such shares of Stock.

3.    Vesting Period and Rights; Taxes; and Filings.

(a)    Vesting Period and Rights. The Award will vest in four equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date (each “Vesting Date”), unless the Award terminates or vests earlier in accordance with paragraph (c) below or Section 4 or 5 hereof. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 below, any vesting is subject to the Recipient continuing to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company on the applicable Vesting Date. Any Restricted Stock Units that have been vested as described above are referred to herein as “Vested RSUs”.

(b)    Taxes. The Recipient is required to provide sufficient funds to pay all withholding taxes. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the Recipient to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local or other withholding tax requirements if, when, and to the extent required by law (whether so required to secure for the Company an otherwise available tax deduction or otherwise) attributable to the Award awarded under this Agreement, including without limitation, the award or lapsing of stock restrictions on the Award. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditional on satisfaction of all such withholding obligations and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient. However, in such cases Recipient may elect, subject to any reasonable administrative procedures for timely compliance established by the Committee, to satisfy an applicable withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold a portion of the shares of Stock to be issued under the Award to satisfy the Recipient’s tax obligations. The Recipient may only elect to have shares of Stock withheld having a Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to at least the minimum statutory total withholding taxes arising upon the vesting of the Award or such higher amount approved by the Committee. If the Recipient has not submitted an election on or before the thirtieth (30) day prior to a Vesting Date, Recipient shall be deemed to have elected to have shares withheld from the shares of Stock to be issued under the Award to satisfy the Recipient’s tax obligation in an amount equal to the minimum statutory total withholding taxes. All elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Recipient, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee deems appropriate. In addition, if shares of Stock are withheld as provided above, in lieu of issuing a fractional share of Stock as a result of such withholding the Company will pay cash to the Recipient in an amount equal to the Market Value of such fractional share.

(c)    Performance Condition for Vesting. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company does not achieve positive Profits for 2018, then all Restricted Stock Units (whether or not Vested RSUs) shall terminate immediately and be forfeited. The calculation of Profits is described in Appendix B hereto.

(d)    Filings. The Recipient is responsible for any filings required under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder.

4.    Termination of Employment. If the Recipient’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company terminates prior to the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, including because the Recipient’s employer ceases to be an Affiliate, the right to the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock shall be as follows:

(a)    Death. If the Recipient dies, the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder will vest immediately and the person or persons to whom the Recipient’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be entitled to receive all of the Stock with respect thereto, subject to meeting the performance test in Section 3(c).

(b)    Long-Term Disability. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company terminates the Recipient’s employment as a result of long-term disability (within the meaning

of Section 409A of the Code), the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder will vest immediately and Recipient shall be entitled to receive all of the Stock with respect thereto, subject to meeting the performance test in Section 3(c).

(c)    By the Company For Cause or By the Recipient Without Good Reason. If the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company due to the Recipient’s termination by the Company or such Affiliate For Cause or if the Recipient resigns or otherwise terminates his employment without Good Reason, including by any Retirement that is not an Approved Retirement or the Recipient’s voluntary departure, the Recipient’s right to such Restricted Stock Units and the Stock granted hereunder shall be forfeited, no Stock shall be issued and the Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled. The terms “For Cause”, “Good Reason”, “Retirement” and “Approved Retirement” are defined below.

(d)    By the Company Other Than For Cause or By the Recipient for Good Reason. If the Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company due to the Recipient’s termination by the Company or such Affiliate other than For Cause, by his resignation for Good Reason, or due to Recipient’s employer ceasing to be an Affiliate (in the absence of a Change of Control), then subject to meeting the performance test in Section 3(c), (i) if the termination occurs prior to the first Vesting Date, the Recipient shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units on the remaining Vesting Dates and the balance shall be cancelled and no Stock issued therefore, and (ii) if the termination occurs on or after the first Vesting Date, the Recipient shall be entitled to receive all the Restricted Stock Units, as and when they become vested on the applicable Vesting Date. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, “pro rata portion” means the number of Restricted Stock Units granted multiplied by the number of full calendar months that elapsed from the Grant Date to the date of termination, divided by 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stock shall be issued and all of Recipient’s rights to the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock hereunder shall be forfeited, expire and terminate unless (i) the Company shall have received a release of all claims from the Recipient in a form approved by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (“Release and Waiver”) (and said Release and Waiver shall have become irrevocable in accordance with its terms) prior to the next applicable Vesting Date (or if earlier, the deadline established in the form of release delivered by the Company to Recipient for execution) and (ii) the Recipient shall have complied with the covenants set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement.

(e)    Approved Retirement. In the event of the Recipient’s Approved Retirement, the Committee may at its discretion consent to the continued vesting of a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Stock Units on the remaining Vesting Dates and the balance shall be cancelled and no Stock issued therefor. For this purpose, “pro-rata portion” means (i) the number of Restricted Stock Units granted multiplied by the actual number of full calendar months that elapsed from the Grant Date to the date of such Approved Retirement and then divided by 48 less (ii) the number of Restricted Stock Units already vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stock shall be issued and all of Recipient’s rights to the Restricted Stock Units and Stock hereunder shall be forfeited, expire and terminate unless (i) the Company shall have received a Release and Waiver from the Recipient (and said Release and Waiver shall

have become irrevocable in accordance with its terms) prior to the next applicable Vesting Date (or if earlier, the deadline established in the form of release delivered by the Company to Recipient for execution) and (ii) the Recipient shall have complied with the covenants set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement. If the Committee shall for any reason decline to consent to continued vesting on the Recipient’s Approved Retirement, then the provisions of subsection (c) above shall instead apply.

(f)    Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(i)    “Change of Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan, provided, that no event or transaction shall constitute a Change of Control for purposes of this Agreement unless it also qualifies as a change of control for purposes of Section 409A of the Code;

(ii)    “Employee”, “employment”, “termination of employment” and “cease to be employed,” and other words or phrases of similar import, shall mean the continued provision of substantial services to the Company or any of its Affiliates (or the cessation or termination of such services) whether as an employee, consultant or director.

(iii)     “Employment Agreement” shall mean the Employment and Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2017, between the Company and Employee, as amended and in effect from time to time.

(iv)    “For Cause” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Employment Agreement;

(v)     “Good Reason” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Employment Agreement; and

(vi)    “Approved Retirement” shall mean any retirement of the Recipient that the Committee determines in its sole discretion shall be treated as an “Approved Retirement” for purposes of this Agreement.

In all cases, payment (i.e., issuance of the Stock and payment of any applicable Stock Payments as provided in Section 2) with respect to any Vested RSUs shall be made promptly and, in any event, within twenty (20) days following the later of (x) the applicable Vesting Date or the date of any accelerated vesting as described in Section 4(a), Section 4(b) or Section 4(d) above and (y) the determination of whether the performance goal in Section 3(c) has been met. For this purpose, Restricted Stock Units continuing to vest on account of (i) a termination of employment by the Company or its Affiliates other than For Cause, (ii) Recipient’s resignation for Good Reason, (iii) Recipient’s employer ceasing to be an Affiliate (in the absence of a Change of Control) or (iv) an Approved Retirement, shall continue to vest as provided above only if the Company has received the required Release and Waiver, but delivery of the Stock and payment of any applicable Stock Payments as provided in Section 2 on or after the next applicable Vesting Date pursuant to this paragraph (g) shall

not obviate the need to comply with the covenants contained in Section 10 until the Covenant Termination Date in order to retain the Stock then delivered.

5.    Change of Control Provisions. Pursuant to the Change of Control provisions of Section 9 of the Plan and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary if a Change of Control occurs, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms subject to the following. In the event of such Change of Control:

(a)    if the Recipient’s employment is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company other than For Cause or if the Recipient resigns for Good Reason within twelve (12) months after the occurrence of a Change of Control, all of the Recipient’s Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest as of such date and Recipient shall be entitled to receive all of the Stock promptly and, in any event, within twenty (20) days after the date of such termination of employment; and

(b)    if the Restricted Stock Units are not assumed, converted or replaced by a successor organization following such Change of Control, all of the Recipient’s Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest as of such date and Recipient shall be entitled to receive all of the Stock promptly and, in any event, within twenty (20) days after the date of the Change of Control.

(c)    The Company (or any successor organization) may require the Recipient to enter into a restricted stock unit award agreement that replaces this Agreement and reflects the terms described above.

(b)    The Company is not liable for the non-issuance or non-transfer, nor for any delay in the issuance or transfer of any shares of Stock due to the Recipient upon the Vesting Date (or, if vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is accelerated pursuant to Section 4 or 5, such earlier date) with respect to vested Restricted Stock Units which results from the inability of the Company to obtain, from each regulatory body having jurisdiction, all requisite authority to issue or transfer shares of common stock of the Company if counsel for the Company deems such authority necessary for the lawful issuance or transfer of any such shares.

8.    Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of the Company and any executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, or other legal representative of the Recipient.
