You and Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Employment and Non-Competition Agreement dated as of December 1, 2014 (as amended to date, the “Employment Agreement”). Each capitalized term used herein but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Employment Agreement.
The Company has informed you that your employment with the Company will terminate pursuant to Section 3.1(a) of the Employment Agreement (“Termination By Company Without Cause”) on February 28, 2017. This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) will confirm the terms of your separation as set forth below and also confirm our agreement regarding the provision of consulting services to the Company as follows:
1. Termination of Employment. Your employment with the Company will terminate effective February 28, 2017. You agree to resign from all positions as officer and/or director of the Company and all of its subsidiaries effective February 28, 2017 or sooner if requested by the Company.
2. Compensation and Benefits Matters. As provided in the Employment Agreement:
| (a) | Salary. You will be entitled to payment of your Base Salary (at the rate of $440,000 per annum) through February 28, 2018, paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. |
| (b) | Vacation. You will receive payment for your 2017 vacation time, which we calculate as $146,666.67 as of February 28, 2017. |

| (d) | 2016 Bonus. You will be entitled to receive your Performance Bonus for 2016 pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Employment Agreement. This bonus is currently expected to pay out at 140.7% of your target bonus for 2016, or $433,356.00, but the final amount is subject to completion of the Company’s audited financial statements for 2016 and the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K. |
| (e) | 2018 Performance Bonus. You are entitled to a pro rata portion of any Performance Bonus paid for 2017 as provided in Section 3.2(b) of the Employment Agreement. |

| (i) | COBRA Coverage. You will receive a separate notice from the Company summarizing your COBRA rights. |
All of the payments and benefits referred to above will be subject to any applicable withholdings. In addition, the payments and benefits referred to in paragraphs (d), (e), (g), and (h) above are subject to your execution and delivery of a release and waiver in the form of Annex B hereto, which you agree to execute and deliver on February 15, 2017. Except as set forth above in this Section 2 and Section 3 below, you will not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits after February 28, 2017.
3. Consulting. (a) You agree to provide consulting services from time to time from March 1, 2017 through August 31, 2017 (the “Consulting Period”). The services to be provided will include being reasonably available by phone and email for consultation on transition matters, providing information to other members of the senior management team, reviewing advertising and other marketing issues as requested by the Company’s CEO, and such other consulting services requested by the Company’s CEO. Unless you otherwise agree you will not be required to travel to provide these consulting services, and will not be required to work a minimum number of hours every month. If during the Consulting Period you start employment with another employer, the Company will make reasonable accommodations to ensure that the provision of these services does not unreasonably interfere with your new position, and the Company will continue the payments referred to in paragraph (b) below for the remainder of the Consulting Period. You agree to comply with all written policies of the Company applicable to consultants.
(b) In consideration for the consulting services, during the Consulting Period the Company will pay you consulting fees in the amount of $37,500.00 per month, payable monthly in arrears and subject to any applicable withholding. The Company retains the right to terminate the consulting services for any reason, subject to the Company’s obligations to pay all fees that would otherwise have become payable during the remainder of the Consulting Period in a lump sum within 30 days of such termination.

4. Non-Disparagement. The Company agrees that it will not issue any press release or authorize any person make any official public statement that disparages you; provided however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to prevent the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable law, legal process, subpoena, the rules of any stock exchange, or legal requirement or as part of a response to an request for information from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought. You agree that you will not issue any press release or make any other public statements that disparage the Company; provided however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to prevent you from complying with your disclosure obligations under applicable law, legal process, subpoena, the rules of any stock exchange, or legal requirement or as part of a response to an request for information from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought.
5. Notice. You agree you will promptly provide the Company a new address for any notices to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Employment Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the Employment Agreement (as modified hereby), the Release and Waiver that is Annex B hereto, and the surviving equity award agreements referred to in Annex A constitute the entire understanding and the full and complete agreement of the parties and supersede and replace any prior understanding and agreements among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The provisions of Article V (“Agreement to Submit All Existing or Future Disputes to Binding Arbitration”), Section 6.3 (“Miscellaneous”), Section 6.4 (“Assignability”), Section 6.5 (“Severability”), Section 6.6 (“Waiver of Breach”), Section 6.7 (“Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Construction”) and Section 6.9 (“Tax Compliance”), of the Employment Agreement will apply to this Agreement.
7. No Wrongdoing by You or the Company. It is understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement that nothing in this Agreement or the Employment Agreement constitutes an admission of any liability, violation of law or wrongdoing of any kind or nature whatsoever on the part of either the Company or you.
8. Consideration. You acknowledge that you have been advised to consult with an attorney of your choice prior to signing this Agreement; and that you have been given at least twenty-one (21) days to review and consider the contents of this Agreement, but that you may choose to execute the Agreement sooner. You further acknowledged that this Agreement is being signed by you knowingly and voluntarily without coercion or duress and that it is revocable for a seven (7) day period after execution, after which it will become automatically effective and enforceable without any further act by you unless specifically revoked by you during such seven (7) day period. You understand that the payments and benefits outlined in this Agreement and any other consideration hereunder (other than payment of Base Salary through February 28, 2017 and reimbursement of expenses), are conditional upon your execution of this Agreement and will not be paid until after the seven (7) day revocation period has expired. You further agree and understand that if you revoke, attempt to revoke or otherwise breach this Agreement, you must return to the Company the full amount of any amounts (other than payments of Base Salary through February 28, 2017 and reimbursement of expenses) received or provided to you as set forth above or in the Employment Agreement, without offset for any reason at the time of revocation or breach.
3
9. Survival of Certain Employment Agreement Provisions. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that, notwithstanding the termination of your employment with the Company, certain of your obligations under the Employment Agreement and other agreements that you may have signed during your employment with the Company continue. These obligations include, but may not be limited to, obligations relating to Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, as well as non-competition and non-solicitation, as set forth in Article IV of the Employment Agreement.
10. Reports to Government Entities. Nothing in this Agreement, including the Non-Disparagement clause and the Release and Waiver that is Annex B hereto, or in the Employment Agreement or any other agreement between you and the Company, restricts or prohibits you from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing confidential information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the Department of Labor (“DOL”), the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Congress, and any agency Inspector General (collectively, the “Regulators”), or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. However, you are waiving your right to receive any individual monetary relief resulting from such claims, regardless of whether you or another party has filed them, and in the event you obtain such monetary relief the Company will be entitled to an offset for the payments made pursuant to this Agreement, except where such limitations are prohibited as a matter of law (e.g. under the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 1514A). You do not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in such communications with the Regulators, respond to such inquiries from the Regulators, provide confidential information or documents to the Regulators, or make any such reports or disclosures to the Regulators. You are not required to notify the Company that you have engaged in such communications with the Regulators.
11. No Other Amounts Due. You acknowledge that the Company has paid you all wages, salaries, bonuses, benefits and other amounts earned and accrued, less applicable deductions, and that the Company has no obligation to pay any additional amounts other than the payments described in paragraphs 2(a),(b), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) and Section 3 of this Agreement.
12. Medicare Disclaimer. You represent that you are not a Medicare beneficiary as of the time you enter into this Agreement. To the extent that you are a Medicare beneficiary, you agree to contact a Company Human Resources representative for further instructions.
4
13. Tax Compliance.
(a) You acknowledge that 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 you. You and the Company agree that each 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 of the Code (together with any implementing regulations, “Section 409A”) while preserving insofar as possible the economic intent of the respective provisions, so that you 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 your expenses, or any provision of in-kind benefits to you, 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 you are a “specified employee” as determined pursuant to Section 409A as of the date of your “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 you to additional tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A, then any such payment or entitlement which is payable during the first six (6) months following your “separation from service” shall be paid or provided to you in a cash lump-sum on the first business day of the seventh (7th) calendar month immediately following the month in which your “separation from service” occurs or, if earlier, upon your death. In addition, any payments or benefits due hereunder upon a termination of your employment which are a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be payable or provided to you (or your estate) upon a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A. Finally, for the purposes of this Agreement, amounts payable under this Agreement 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 you, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement, to the extent such payment is subject to Section 409A. To the extent that you are provided any consideration or revocation period operating as a precondition to your entitlement to a payment that extends, or by its terms could extend, beyond the current tax year, payment will be made in the later tax year to the extent required in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A.
