None of Exchangeco, Callco, Lululemon or LIPO USA shall be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the Lululemon Common Shares or other consideration sold or disposed of by it hereunder, nor shall any of them be liable for any loss arising out of any such sale or disposition.

  (b) To exercise the Liquidation Call Right, Callco must notify the Transfer Agent, as agent for the holders of Exchangeable Shares, and Exchangeco of Callco’s intention to exercise such right at least 45 days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco and at least five Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco. The Transfer Agent will notify the holders of Exchangeable Shares as to whether or not Callco has exercised the Liquidation Call Right forthwith after the expiry of the period during which the same may be exercised by Callco. If Callco exercises the Liquidation Call Right, then on the Liquidation Date Callco will purchase and the holders will sell all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding for a price per share equal to the Liquidation Call Purchase Price.

 

  (c) For the purposes of completing the purchase of the Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Liquidation Call Right, Callco shall deposit with the Transfer Agent, on or before the Liquidation Date, the aggregate number of Lululemon Common Shares deliverable by Callco (which delivery may be in the form of certificates or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) and a cheque or cheques of Callco payable upon presentation at any branch of the bankers of Callco representing the aggregate Dividend Amount in payment of the total Liquidation Call Purchase Price, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof.

Upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of a certificate or certificates representing Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA and the articles of Exchangeco and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Transfer Agent on behalf of Callco shall deliver to such holder, the Lululemon Common Shares to which the holder is entitled (which delivery may be in the form of certificates or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) and a cheque or cheques of Callco payable at par at any branch of the bankers of Callco in payment of the remaining portion, if any, of the total Liquidation Call Purchase Price, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof.

Callco shall have the rights contained in the Exchangeable Share Provisions, including, without limitation, the Retraction Call Right (as defined in the Exchangeable Share Provisions). In addition, Callco shall have the following rights in respect of the Exchangeable Shares:

 

  (a) Callco shall have the overriding right (the “Redemption Call Right”), notwithstanding the proposed redemption of the Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco pursuant to Article 7 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, to purchase from all but not less than all of the holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than any holder of Exchangeable Shares which is an Affiliate of Lululemon) on the Redemption Date all but not less than all of the Exchangeable Shares held by each such holder on payment by Callco to each holder of an amount per Exchangeable Share (the “Redemption Call Purchase Price”) equal to the Current Market Price of a Lululemon Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, which shall be satisfied in full by Callco causing to be delivered to such holder one Lululemon Common Share, plus the Dividend Amount. In the event of the exercise of the Redemption Call Right by Callco, each holder shall be obligated to sell all the Exchangeable Shares held by the holder to Callco on the Redemption Date on payment by Callco to the holder of the Redemption Call Purchase Price for each such share, and Exchangeco shall have no obligation to redeem, or to pay any Dividend Amount in respect of, such shares so purchased by Callco.

 

  (b) To exercise the Redemption Call Right, Callco must notify the Transfer Agent, as agent for the holders of Exchangeable Shares, and Exchangeco of Callco’s intention to exercise such right at least 60 days before the Redemption Date, except in the case of a redemption occurring as a result of a Lululemon Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, in which case Callco shall so notify the Transfer Agent and Exchangeco on or before the Redemption Date. The Transfer Agent will notify the holders of the Exchangeable Shares as to whether or not Callco has exercised the Redemption Call Right forthwith after the expiry of the period during which the same may be exercised by Callco. If Callco exercises the Redemption Call Right, on the Redemption Date Callco will purchase and the holders will sell all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding for a price per share equal to the Redemption Call Purchase Price.

For the purposes of completing the purchase of the Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Callco shall deposit with the Transfer Agent, on or before the Redemption Date, the aggregate number of Lululemon Common Shares deliverable by Callco (which delivery may be in the form of certificates or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) and a cheque or cheques of Callco payable upon presentation at any branch of the bankers of Callco representing the aggregate Dividend Amount in payment of the total Redemption Call Purchase Price, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof. Provided that Callco has complied with the immediately preceding sentence, on and after the Redemption Date the rights of each holder of Exchangeable Shares will be limited to receiving the Redemption Call Purchase Price in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder, payable by Callco upon presentation and surrender by the holder of

  certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder and the holder shall on and after the Redemption Date be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Lululemon Common Shares to which it is entitled. Upon surrender to the Transfer Agent of a certificate or certificates representing Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA and the articles of Exchangeco and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Transfer Agent on behalf of Callco shall deliver to such holder, the Lululemon Common Shares to which the holder is entitled (which may be in the form of certificates or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof. If Callco does not exercise the Redemption Call Right in the manner described above or if Callco exercises the Redemption Call Right but fails to complete such transaction in accordance with the requirements set out in this Section 5.2, on the Redemption Date the holders of the Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the redemption price otherwise payable by Exchangeco in connection with the redemption of the Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Article 7 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions.

  (b) in the case of a stock dividend declared on the Lululemon Common Shares to be paid in Lululemon Common Shares by the issue or transfer by the Company of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of Lululemon Common Shares to be paid on each Lululemon Common Share; or

 

  (c) in the case of a dividend declared on the Lululemon Common Shares in property other than cash or Lululemon Common Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent to (to be determined by the Board of Directors as contemplated by Section 3.5 hereof) the type and amount of property declared as a dividend on each Lululemon Common Share.

Such dividends shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Company, as applicable.

 

3.2

In the case of a stock dividend declared on the Lululemon Common Shares to be paid in Lululemon Common Shares, in lieu of declaring the stock dividend contemplated by section 3.1(b) on the Exchangeable Shares, the Board of Directors may, in good faith and in its sole discretion and subject to applicable law and to obtaining all required regulatory approvals, subdivide, redivide or change (the “Subdivision”) each issued and unissued

 

6


  Exchangeable Share on the basis that each Exchangeable Share before the Subdivision becomes a number of Exchangeable Shares equal to the sum of (A) one Lululemon Common Share and (B) the number of Lululemon Common Shares to be paid as a share dividend on each Lululemon Common Share. In making such Subdivision, the Board of Directors shall consider the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares and the general taxation consequences of the Subdivision to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. In such instance, and notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Subdivision shall become effective on the effective date specified in Section 3.4 without any further act or formality on the part of Lululemon, the Board of Directors or of the holders of Exchangeable Shares.

 

3.3 Cheques of the Company payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Company shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(a) hereof and the sending of such a cheque to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the cash dividend represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. Certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares paid as a stock dividend pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or any Subdivision contemplated by Section 3.2 registered in the name of the registered holder of Exchangeable Shares may be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(b) or any Subdivision contemplated by Section 3.2 hereof and the delivery of such a certificate (or the delivery of such Exchangeable Shares in book-entry form through the direct registration system) to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the stock dividend represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(c) hereof shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Company in such manner as it shall determine and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Company to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend represented thereby. No holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Company any dividend that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Company’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which such dividend was payable.

 

3.4 The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 hereof shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Lululemon Common Shares. The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive Exchangeable Shares in connection with any Subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.2 and the effective date of such Subdivision shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Lululemon Common Shares.

 

3.5 If on any payment date for any dividends declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 hereof the dividends are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends that remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Company shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends.

 

7


3.6 The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion, economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its shareholders.

In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors:

 

  (a) in the case of any stock dividend or distribution payable in Lululemon Common Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Lululemon Common Shares previously outstanding;

 

  (b) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Lululemon Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Lululemon Common Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the Current Market Price;

 

  (c) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including without limitation any shares or securities of Lululemon of any class other than Lululemon Common Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 3.6(b) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Lululemon or any assets of Lululemon), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Lululemon Common Share and the Current Market Price;

 

  (d) in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Lululemon Common Shares into a greater number of Lululemon Common Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Lululemon Common Shares into a lesser number of Lululemon Common Shares or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Lululemon Common Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Lululemon Common Shares; and

 

  (e) in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the general taxation consequences to holders of Lululemon Common Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

 

3.7

Except as provided in this Article 3, the holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends in respect thereof. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article 3 to the contrary, if the Purchase Price is paid to a holder of Exchangeable Shares

 

8


  by Callco pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, the Redemption Call Purchase Price is paid to a holder of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, the Liquidation Amount is paid to a holder of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Liquidation Call Right, or if the purchase price is paid to a holder of an Exchangeable Shares by Lululemon pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Rights or the Exchange Right, the holder of the Exchangeable Share shall cease to have any right to be paid any amount by the Company in respect of any unpaid dividends on such Exchangeable Shares.

  (b) redeem or purchase or make any capital distribution in respect of Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares;

 

  (c) redeem or purchase any other shares of the Company ranking equally with the Exchangeable Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or on any liquidation distribution; or

 

  (d) issue any Exchangeable Shares or any other shares of the Company ranking equally with, or superior to, the Exchangeable Shares other than by way of stock dividends to the holders of such Exchangeable Shares.

The restrictions in Sections 4.1(a), (b), (c) and (d) above shall not apply if all dividends on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares corresponding to dividends declared and paid to date on the Lululemon Common Shares shall have been declared and paid on the Exchangeable Shares.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION

 

5.1

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of the Company in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date (the “Liquidation Date”) of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Company among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, an amount per Exchangeable Share (the “Liquidation Amount”) equal to the Current Market Price of a Lululemon Common

 

9


  Share on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date, which shall be satisfied in full by the Company causing to be delivered to such holder, for each such Exchangeable Share, one Lululemon Common Share plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends on each such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Liquidation Date.

 

5.2 On or promptly after the Liquidation Date, and subject to the exercise by Callco of the Liquidation Call Right, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of such Exchangeable Shares and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, on behalf of the Company, of the Lululemon Common Shares to which the holder is entitled (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance), either in the form of certificates representing the Lululemon Common Shares or, in whole or in part, in book-entry form through the direct registration system and, if applicable, a cheque of the Company payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Company in respect of the remaining portion, if any, of the total Liquidation Amount (in each case less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom). On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of the documents and instruments required in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Company shall have the right at any time after the Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Liquidation Amount in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount (in each case less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom) for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the required documents and instruments in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of the total Liquidation Amount, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Lululemon Common Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

 

10


5.3 After the Company has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant to Section 5.1 of these share provisions, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 6

RETRACTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY HOLDER

 

6.1 A holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time, subject to the exercise by Callco of the Retraction Call Right and otherwise upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 6, to require the Company to redeem any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Current Market Price of a Lululemon Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the “Retraction Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by the Company causing to be delivered to such holder, for each Exchangeable Share presented and surrendered by the holder, one Lululemon Common Share and any Dividend Amount. To effect such redemption, the holder shall present and surrender at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares the certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, and together with a duly executed statement (the “Retraction Request”) in the form of Schedule A hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Company:

 

  (a) specifying that the holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the “Retracted Shares”) redeemed by the Company;

 

  (b) stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have the Company redeem the Retracted Shares (the “Retraction Date”), provided that the Retraction Date shall be not less than 5 Business Days nor more than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Company and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the 5th Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Company; and

 

  (c) acknowledging the overriding right (the “Retraction Call Right”) of Callco to purchase all but not less than all the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to Callco in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in Section 6.3 below.

 

6.2

Subject to the exercise by Callco of the Retraction Call Right, upon receipt by the Company or the Transfer Agent in the manner specified in Section 6.1 of a certificate or

 

11


  certificates, if any, representing the number of Retracted Shares, together with a Retraction Request and the other documents and instruments required in accordance with Section 6.1, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7, the Company shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered to such holder the total Retraction Price and any Dividend Amount thereon. If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares is redeemed (or purchased by Callco pursuant to the Retraction Call Right), the holder thereof shall receive at the expense of the Company (either in the form of a certificate, or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) the balance of such Exchangeable Shares.

 

6.3 Upon receipt by the Company of a Retraction Request, the Company shall immediately notify Callco thereof and shall provide to Callco a copy of the Retraction Request. In order to exercise the Retraction Call Right, Callco must notify the Company of its determination to do so (the “Callco Call Notice”) within three Business Days of notification to Callco by the Company of the receipt by the Company of the Retraction Request. If Callco does not so notify the Company within such three Business Day period, the Company will notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that Callco will not exercise the Retraction Call Right. If Callco delivers the Callco Call Notice within such three Business Day period, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7, the Retraction Request shall thereupon be considered only to be an offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to Callco in accordance with the Retraction Call Right. In such event, the Company shall not redeem the Retracted Shares and Callco shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to Callco on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) per share equal to the Retraction Price per share, plus on the designated payment date therefor, to the extent not paid by the Company on the designated payment date therefor, any Dividend Amount. To the extent that Callco pays the Dividend Amount in respect of the Retracted Shares, the Company shall no longer be obligated to pay any declared and unpaid dividends on such Retracted Shares. Provided that Callco has complied with Section 6.4, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by the Company of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date. In the event that Callco does not deliver a Callco Call Notice within such three Business Day period, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7), the Company shall redeem the Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date and in the manner otherwise contemplated in this Article 6.

 

6.4

The Company or Callco, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the holder’s Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Lululemon Common Shares to which the holder is entitled (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance), either in

 

12


  the form of certificates representing the Lululemon Common Shares registered in the name of the holder or in such other name as the holder may request or, in whole or in part, in book-entry form through the direct registration system, and, if applicable and on or before the payment date therefor, a cheque payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Company or Callco, as applicable, representing the aggregate Dividend Amount, in payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, in each case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom, and such delivery of such Lululemon Common Shares and cheques on behalf of the Company or by Callco, as the case may be, or by the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total Retraction Price or total Purchase Price, as the case may be, to the extent that the same is represented by such Lululemon Common Shares and cheques (plus any tax deducted and withheld therefrom and remitted to the proper tax authority).

 

6.5 On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive his proportionate part of the total Retraction Price or total Purchase Price, as the case may be, unless upon presentation and surrender of the documents and instruments in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall not be made as provided in Section 6.4, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of the documents and instruments in accordance with the foregoing provisions and payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Company or purchased by Callco shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Lululemon Common Shares delivered to it.

 

6.6

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the Company shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Company believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and provided that Callco shall not have exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares, the Company shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder and the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Company. In any case in which the redemption by the Company of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law, the Company shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 6.2 of these share provisions on a pro rata basis and the holder of Retracted Shares shall receive at the Company’s expense (either in the form

 

13


  of a certificate or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section 6.2 of these share provisions as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law shall be deemed by giving the Retraction Request to require Callco, to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Callco as the case may be, to such holder of the Purchase Price for each such Retracted Share, all as more specifically provided in the Exchange Trust Agreement.

 

6.7 A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Company before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request, in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to Callco shall be deemed to have been revoked.

ARTICLE 7

REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE COMPANY

 

7.1 Subject to applicable law, and provided Callco has not exercised the Redemption Call Right, the Company shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Current Market Price of a Lululemon Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by the Company causing to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable Shares, for each Exchangeable Share held by such holder, one Lululemon Common Share, together with the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends on each such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Redemption Date.

 

7.2 In any case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this Article 7, the Company shall, at least 60 days before the Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with a Lululemon Control Transaction, a Lululemon Extraordinary Distribution, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event), send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by Callco under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder. In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with a Lululemon Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of redemption by the Company or the purchase by Callco under the Redemption Call Right will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances. In any such case, such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price or the Redemption Call Purchase Price, as the case may be, the Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right.

 

14


7.3 On or after the Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by Callco of the Redemption Call Right, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Exchangeable Share, if any, together with the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends on each such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Redemption Date, upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company in such notice of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, if any, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require. Payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares, together with payment of such dividends, shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company in such notice, on behalf of the Company, of the Lululemon Common Shares to which the holder is entitled (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance), either in the form of certificates representing the Lululemon Common Shares or, in whole or in part, in book-entry form through the direct registration system, and, if applicable, a cheque of the Company payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Company in payment of any such dividends, in each case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price and any such dividends, unless payment of the total Redemption Price and any such dividends for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of the documents and instruments required in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the total Redemption Price and any such dividends have been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Company shall have the right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem the Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Redemption Price for and the full amount of such dividends on (except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3) the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Upon the later of such deposit being made and the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price and such dividends for such Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, against presentation and surrender of the documents and instruments required in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or

 

15


  deposit of the total Redemption Price and the full amount of such dividends, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Lululemon Common Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

ARTICLE 8

PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION

 

8.1 Subject to applicable law and notwithstanding Section 8.2, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase for cancellation all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares by private agreement with any holder of Exchangeable Shares for consideration consisting of Lululemon Common Shares.

 

8.2 Subject to applicable law, the Company may at any time and from time to time purchase for cancellation all or any part of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at any price by tender to all the holders of record of Exchangeable Shares then outstanding or through the facilities of any stock exchange on which the Exchangeable Shares are listed or quoted at any price per share. If in response to an invitation for tenders under the provisions of this Section 8.2 more Exchangeable Shares are tendered at a price or prices acceptable to the Company than the Company is prepared to purchase, the Exchangeable Shares to be purchased by the Company shall be purchased as nearly as may be pro rata according to the number of shares tendered by each holder who submits a tender to the Company, provided that when shares are tendered at different prices, the pro rating shall be effected (disregarding fractions) only with respect to the shares tendered at the price at which more shares were tendered than the Company is prepared to purchase after the Company has purchased all the shares tendered at lower prices. If part only of the Exchangeable Shares shall be purchased, the holder thereof shall receive at the expense of the Company (either in the form of a certificate or in book-entry form through the direct registration system) the balance of such shares.

ARTICLE 9

TRANSFERABILITY

 

9.1 A holder of Exchangeable Shares may transfer its Exchangeable Shares only if the holder transfers the same number of Special Voting Shares to the same transferee. The Company shall not recognize any transfer of Exchangeable Shares if the same number of Special Voting Shares is not transferred to the same transferee of the transferred Exchangeable Shares.

ARTICLE 10

VOTING RIGHTS

 

10.1 Except as required by applicable law and by Article 11 hereof, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or to vote at any such meeting.

 

16


ARTICLE 11

AMENDMENT AND APPROVAL

 

11.1 The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Exchangeable Shares may be added to, changed or removed but only with the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given as hereinafter specified, provided that any adjustment to the number of Lululemon Common Shares into which an Exchangeable Share is exchangeable (which initially is one) made by the Board of Directors, acting in good faith, in accordance with section 2.7 of the Support Agreement to reflect the effect of any event in order to implement the required economic equivalent with respect to the Lululemon Common Shares and the Exchangeable Shares shall not require the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

 

11.2 Any approval given by the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to add to, change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the Exchangeable Shares or any other matter requiring the approval or consent of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if it shall have been given in accordance with applicable law subject to a minimum requirement that such approval be evidenced by a resolution consented to in writing by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares or passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast on such resolution at a meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares duly called and held at which the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at that time are present or represented by proxy.

ARTICLE 12

LULULEMON COMMON SHARES

 

12.1 Each holder of an Exchangeable Share acknowledges that the Support Agreement provides, in part, that so long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by Lululemon or its subsidiaries are outstanding, and other than as provided in the Support Agreement, Lululemon will not without the prior approval of the Company and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 12.2 of these share provisions:

  (c) issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Lululemon Common Shares:

 

  (i) shares or securities of Lululemon of any class other than Lululemon Common Shares (other than shares convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Lululemon Common Shares);

 

  (ii) rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 12.1(b) above;

 

  (iii) evidences of indebtedness of Lululemon; or

The Support Agreement further provides, in part, that the aforesaid provisions of the Support Agreement shall not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2 of these share provisions.

ARTICLE 13

13.1 The Company will take all such actions and do all such things as shall be necessary or advisable to perform and comply with and to ensure performance and compliance by Lululemon, Callco and the Company with all provisions of the Support Agreement applicable to Lululemon, Callco and the Company, respectively, in accordance with the terms thereof including, without limitation, taking all such actions and doing all such things as shall be necessary or advisable to enforce to the fullest extent possible for the direct benefit of the Company all rights and benefits in favour of the Company under or pursuant to such agreement.

 

13.2 The Company shall not propose, agree to or otherwise give effect to any amendment to, or waiver or forgiveness of its rights or obligations under, the Support Agreement without the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2 of these share provisions other than such amendments, waivers and/or forgiveness as may be necessary or advisable for the purposes of:

ARTICLE 14

14.1 Any certificates evidencing the Exchangeable Shares shall contain or have affixed thereto a legend in form and on terms approved by the Board of Directors, with respect to the Support Agreement, the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement relating to the Liquidation Call Right and the Redemption Call Right, and the Exchange Trust Agreement (including the provisions with respect to the exchange right and automatic exchange thereunder).

14.2 Each holder of an Exchangeable Share, whether of record or beneficial, by virtue of becoming and being such a holder shall be deemed to acknowledge each of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right and the Redemption Call Right, in each case, in favour of Callco, and the overriding nature thereof in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or the retraction or redemption of Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be, and to be bound thereby in favour of Callco as therein provided.

 

14.3 The Company and Callco shall be entitled, and may instruct the Transfer Agent, to deduct and withhold from any dividend or consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Exchangeable Shares such amounts as the Company or Callco is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments (i) under the Income Tax Act (Canada), the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended or succeeded, or (ii) required or permitted in order to comply with Section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any corresponding provisions of provincial law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the persons otherwise entitled thereto, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, the Company, Callco and the Transfer Agent are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Company, Callco or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Company, Callco or the Transfer Agent shall notify the holder thereof and remit any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

ARTICLE 15
