NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 1.1 Confidential Information.

(a)       “Confidential Information” means all information of or relating to the Company and its subsidiaries (referred to individually as a “Tempur Company” and collectively as the “Tempur Companies”) including, but not limited to, information regarding the Tempur Companies’ governance, board of directors, management, plans, strategies, business, finances and operations, including information relating to financial statements, financial analysis, plans, programs, customers, suppliers, joint ventures, plants, equipment and other assets, products, processes, manufacturing, marketing, research and development, know-how and technology, intellectual property and trade secrets, and information which any Tempur Company has obtained from third parties and with respect to which any Tempur Company is obligated to maintain confidentiality, and including all notes, analysis, reports, models, compilations, studies, interpretations, documents, records or extracts thereof containing, referring, relating to, based upon or derived from such information, in whole or in part.

(b)       The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information which (a) is at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Director, a Director Representative or an H Partners Representative in violation of this Agreement; (b) was, prior to disclosure by any Tempur Company, already in the possession of the Director, a Director Representative or an H Partners Representative, provided that the source of such information was, to such person’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to any Tempur Company; (c) becomes available to the Director, a Director Representative or an H Partners Representative on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than a Tempur Company) that is, to such person’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to any Tempur Company, and is not, to such person’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, under an obligation to any Tempur Company not to transmit the information to such person; or (d) was independently developed by the Director, a Director Representative or an H Partners Representative without reference to or use of the Confidential Information.

Section 1.2 Restrictions on Disclosure and Use. (a) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Director will not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties or use any Confidential Information other than in connection with serving as a director of the Company without in each instance securing the prior written consent of the Company.

(b)        Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Director from disclosing Confidential Information to officers, directors, accountants and counsel for the Company or any other Tempur Company. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Director from disclosing Confidential Information (x) to the Director’s legal counsel (“Director Representative”) for the purpose of advising the Director on his rights and duties as a director of the Company and (y) to H Partners and any other H Partners Group Member listed on Schedule A or any of their directors, officers and employees listed in Schedule A under “Other H Partners Representatives” (with the H Partners Group Members and all such directors, officers and employees referred to individually as an “H Partners Representative” and collectively as the “H Partners Representatives”) for one or more of the Permitted Purposes. Each H Partners Group Member agrees that it or he will not use Confidential Information except for Permitted Purposes, will not disclose Confidential Information to third parties and will not disclose Confidential Information to any other H Partners Representatives unless, if such H Partners Representative is not a party to this Agreement or has not otherwise already delivered a Representative Undertaking as described below, agrees in writing to comply with the provisions of this Agreement by executing a Representative Undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by the Company provided, further, that prior to the disclosure of any Confidential Information to any H Partners Representative, the Director must first have received from such H Partners Representative a duly executed Representative Undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and a copy of such Representative Undertaking much have been provided to the Company pursuant to the notice provisions in Section 4.4 of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Director shall be entitled to supplement Schedule A attached hereto upon the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to add any H Partners Representatives not now existing or retained, as applicable, so long as such persons or entities qualify as such under the terms of this Agreement and execute a duly executed Representative Undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and submitted to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Director Representative shall only be provided Confidential Information by the Director if such Director Representative agrees in writing to comply with the provisions of this Agreement by executing and delivering a Representative Undertaking, which shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by the Company and shall be delivered to the Company prior to sharing any Confidential Information with that Director Representative.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, in no event will the Director disclose to anyone (i) any Confidential Information that is marked “Privileged”, “Attorney Client Privileged” or with similar language indicating that the information may be the subject of one or more claims of privilege by the Tempur Companies, or (ii) any Confidential Information relating to H Partners or any H Partners Group Member (other than Mr. Nabi).

Section 1.3 Legally Compelled Disclosure. In the event that the Director, any Director Representative or any H Partners Representative is requested in any proceeding or governmental inquiry to disclose any Confidential Information, the Director will give the Company prompt notice, to the extent permissible, of such request so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If in the absence of a protective order or waiver, the Director, any Director Representative or any H Partners Representative, based upon the advice of counsel, is legally required to disclose Confidential Information, or if the Company waives compliance with this Agreement, such person or entity may disclose without liability under this Agreement such portion of the Confidential Information which counsel advises that the Director, any Director Representative or any H Partners Representative is legally required to disclose, provided that the disclosing party uses reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment for the information that is legally required to be disclosed. In such event the disclosing party will work in good faith with the Company to minimize the impact of such disclosure including giving the Company an opportunity where practicable to review the proposed disclosure in advance.

Section 1.4 Termination; Return or Destruction. Either the Director or the Company may, by written notice to the other, terminate the Director’s right pursuant to Section 1.2(b) to disclose Confidential Information to all Director Representatives and H Partners Representatives. The date specified in the notice is referred to below as the “Information Termination Date”. In such event and subject to H Partners’ internal documentation retention policies necessary to comply with applicable law, within 15 days after the Information Termination Date the Director and all H Partners Representatives and Director Representatives will return or destroy all copies of Confidential Information (in whatever form) in their possession and confirm in writing to the Company their compliance with this obligation. Notwithstanding the return or erasure or deletion of Confidential Information, all H Partners Group Members and all other H Partners Representatives and Director Representatives who received Confidential Information will continue to be bound by the obligations contained in this Agreement and any applicable Representative Undertaking.

Section 1.5 No Representations. The Director, each other member H Partners Group Member, any Director Representative and any H Partners Representative to whom the Director directly or indirectly transmits Confidential Information under this Agreement acknowledges that the Company does not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information furnished by it to the Director. The Company shall not have any liability to the Director, any other H Partners Group Member, any Director Representative or any H Partners Representative hereunder resulting from the use of the Confidential Information by the Director, any Director Representative or any H Partners Representative.

EXHIBIT A

 

REPRESENTATIVE UNDERTAKING

 

The undersigned (the “Recipient”) makes this undertaking (the “Undertaking”) to, and for the benefit of, Tempur Sealy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in consideration of certain confidential information of the Company being provided to the undersigned.

1.

The Recipient hereby certifies his understanding that confidential information (the “Confidential Information”) is being provided to him pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Non-Disclosure and Standstill Agreement, dated as of June [•], 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), by and between the Company, Usman Nabi, H Partners Management, LLC, H Partners, LP, H Partners Capital, LLC, P H Partners Ltd., H Offshore Fund Ltd., and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Recipient has read the Confidentiality Agreement, understands the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Confidentiality Agreement and agrees to be fully bound by the Confidentiality Agreement and comply with all obligations in the Agreement applicable to an H Partners Group Member. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Undertaking have the meaning ascribed to them in the Confidentiality Agreement.

2.

Recipient agrees that, upon receipt of the Confidential Information, if not already restricted, it shall automatically become restricted from taking any of the actions that an H Partners Group Member is restricted from taking with respect to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 2 of the Confidentiality Agreement and Recipient hereby undertakes to comply with, and be subject to, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement as though it was a signatory thereto.

3.

If the Recipient is required by law, regulation, regulatory authority, judicial or governmental order or in connection with any interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand or any similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise to disclose in any manner any Confidential Information, the Recipient covenants to provide the Company with prompt notice (to the extent legally permissible) in advance of such disclosure so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, waive compliance with this Paragraph 3 or both. In the event that no protective order or other remedy is obtained, or if the Company waives compliance with this Paragraph 3, the Recipient covenants to (a) furnish only such Confidential Information as the Recipient is advised is legally required, and (b) exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to any Confidential Information that is compelled to be disclosed.

4.

This Undertaking will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of laws or conflict of laws principles or of any other jurisdiction to the extent that such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

5.

The Recipient (a) consents to submit himself or itself to personal jurisdiction and venue in any action brought in any federal or state court of the State of Delaware (each, a “Delaware Court”) in connection with any matter arising to enforce any provision of this Undertaking or the Confidentiality Agreement, (b) agrees that he or it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Delaware Court, (c) agrees that he or it will not bring any action relating to this Undertaking or the Confidentiality Agreement in any court or venue other than a Delaware Court, (d) agrees that service of process for purposes of proceedings to enforce this Undertaking or the Confidentiality Agreement is effective and proper if delivered by registered or certified mail, and (e) agrees that any breach of this Undertaking or the Confidentiality Agreement by him or it may be punishable by such relief as is deemed appropriate by any Delaware Court.

6.

If any action is initiated by the Company to enforce the provisions hereof and it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, located in the State of Delaware, that this Undertaking has been breached by the Recipient, the Company shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Recipient for all of the Company’s costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by it in connection with such breach and all consequences thereof.

7.

This Undertaking may be modified or waived only by a separate writing executed by Recipient and the Company that expressly modifies or waives this Undertaking. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Undertaking will operate as a waiver of any such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Undertaking will preclude any other or further exercise of any such right, power or privilege.

8.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Undertaking by telecopy or other electronic imaging means will be as effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Undertaking.

9.

This Undertaking and the Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to the confidentiality of information concerning or relating to the Company shall remain in full force and effect for as long as such information continues to be deemed Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

The undersigned’s signature below indicates that the undersigned is authorized to execute this Undertaking and agrees to be completely bound by its terms and conditions.
