AMENDED AND RESTATED 2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
[Name]
This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 4, 2019, is between Tempur Sealy International, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and the individual identified above (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 January 4, 2019 (the “Grant Date”) and is not 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 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
Exhibit 10.60
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) 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, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement:
(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.
(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.
(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 or her 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 the unvested Restricted Stock Units and the Stock issuable thereunder 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.
Exhibit 10.60
(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 or her resignation for Good Reason, or due to Recipient’s employer ceasing to be an Affiliate (in the absence of a Change of Control), the Recipient’s right to the unvested Restricted Stock Units and the Stock issuable thereunder shall be forfeited, no Stock shall be issued and the Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled.
(e) Approved Retirement. In the event of the Recipient’s Approved Retirement, the Committee (or any person delegated authority to act on its behalf in respect of the matter) may at its discretion consent to the continued vesting in accordance with Section 3 hereof (notwithstanding such Approved Retirement) until the third anniversary of the date of such Approved Retirement of all or part of the unvested Restricted Stock Units on such date, in which case Recipient’s right to the unvested Restricted Stock Units and the Stock issuable thereunder that would not vest upon or prior to such anniversary shall be forfeited, no Stock shall be issued and the Restricted Stock Units shall be cancelled at the time of such Approved Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no continued vesting shall occur, no Stock shall be issued and all of Recipient’s rights to the unvested Restricted Stock Units and related Stock issuable thereunder shall be forfeited, expire and terminate at the time of such Approved Retirement unless (i) the Company shall have received a release of all claims from the Recipient (a “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 and Waiver 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 and to the extent 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) “Approved Retirement” shall mean any Retirement of the Recipient the Committee determines in its sole discretion shall be treated as an “Approved Retirement” for purposes of this Agreement;
(ii) “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;
(iii) “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;
(iv) “Employment Agreement” shall mean the Employment and Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of ____________, ______ , between the Company and Employee, as amended and in effect from time to time;
Exhibit 10.60
(v) “For Cause” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Employment Agreement; and
(vi) “Good Reason” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Employment Agreement; and
(vii) “Retirement” shall mean the voluntary termination of the Recipient’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on or after reaching the minimum age of fifty-five (55); provided, however, that the sum of the Recipient’s age plus years of service (counting whole years only) must equal at least sixty-five (65) and provided further that there is no basis for the Company to terminate the Recipient For Cause at the time of Recipient’s voluntary termination.
(g) Payment. 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 applicable Vesting Date or the date of any accelerated vesting as described in Section 4(a), Section 4(b) or Section 4(d) above. 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. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, the provisions of Section 9(b) of the Plan shall apply, except that for purposes of such provisions the terms “For Cause” and “Good Reason” shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement.
(b) 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.
6. Other Provisions.
(a) This Award of Restricted Stock Units does not give the Recipient any right to continue to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, or limit, in any way, the right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the Recipient’s employment, at any time, for any reason not specifically prohibited by law.
(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
Exhibit 10.60
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. Acceptance of this Award constitutes the Recipient’s agreement that the shares of Stock subsequently acquired hereunder, if any, will not be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Recipient in violation of any applicable securities laws or regulations.
(c) The Award, the Restricted Stock Units and entitlement to the Stock are subject to this Agreement and Recipient’s acceptance hereof shall constitute the Recipient’s agreement to any administrative regulations of the Committee of the Board.

(e) Except as provided in Section 6.4 of the Plan, no right hereunder related to the Award or these Restricted Stock Units and no rights hereunder to the underlying Stock shall be transferable (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution) until such time, if ever, that the Stock is earned and delivered.
7. Incorporation of Plan Terms. This Award is granted subject to all of the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan, including but not limited to Section 8 of the Plan, “Adjustment Provisions”, and the limitations on the Company's obligation to deliver Stock upon vesting set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, “Settlement of Awards”. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned under the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
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. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
