(a) A Shareholder may grant a security interest in or against any Shares or any and all rights and privileges related to the Shares and any and all rights or privileges under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any economic or voting or other consensual rights (“Rights”) (collectively a “Pledge”) in which a Shareholder has an interest, and may agree to rights and remedies related to the same pursuant to one or more agreements with any person or entity, to whom the Company or any

Shareholder gives, or purports to give, a security interest (including a pledge or other encumbrance) in any assets, which may include membership interests in the Company or any other rights or interests related thereto (a “Secured Party”) (all such agreements, collectively, the “Pledge Agreement”).

Section 4. Purpose

The principal business activity and purposes of the Company shall initially be to engage in any lawful business, purpose or activity permitted by the Act. The Company shall possess and may exercise all of the powers and privileges granted by the Act or which may be exercised by any person, together with any powers incidental thereto, so far as such powers or privileges are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business purposes or activities of the Company. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or the management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Act shall not be grounds for making its Shareholders or directors responsible for the liabilities of the Company.

Section 5. Registered Office

The registered office of the Company shall be Registered Agent Solutions, Inc., 00 X. Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000.

Section 6. Qualification in Other Jurisdictions

The Board of Directors shall cause the Company to be qualified or registered under applicable laws of any jurisdiction in which the Company transacts business and shall be authorized to execute, deliver and file any certificates and documents necessary to effect such qualification or registration, including without limitation, the appointment of agents for service of process in such jurisdictions.

ARTICLE II - SHARES

Section 1. Shares

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares of common interests (the “Shares”). Each holder of Shares is referred to herein as a “Shareholder.” Fractions of a Share may be created and issued. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon the Shares shall be as provided herein. The directors of the Company may, at any time and from time to time, authorize the Company to issue, or take subscriptions for, Shares.

(b) the holder of each Share shall have the right to one vote per Share on each matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders.

Section 2. Certificates of Shares

The ownership of Shares shall be evidenced by certificates. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate representing such Shareholder’s Shares in such form as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors. Such certificate shall be signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. Such signatures may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue.

The certificates of shares of the Company shall be numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Company as they are issued. They shall exhibit the holder’s name and the number of shares, shall be signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and shall bear the Company seal, if any. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, one (1) share shall be issued to

- 2 -

each Shareholder for each dollar (US$1.00) of share capital contributed to the Company. The Company shall issue share certificates to all initial Shareholders, any Shareholders later admitted, and to any Shareholder contributing additional capital to the Company.

The Company shall keep a register of its Shareholders at its principal offices (or such other location as may be required by the Act), or at any other office designated by the Board of Directors. There shall be entered on such register, at any time of the issuance of each share, the number of the certificate issued, the kind of certificate issued, the name, address, and other contact information of the person owning the shares represented thereby, the number of such shares, and the date of issuance thereof. Every certificate exchanged or returned to the Company shall be marked “cancelled” with the date of cancellation.

Each Shareholder of the Company has the right, subject to such reasonable standards (including standards governing what information and documents are to be furnished at what time and location and at whose expense) as may be set forth herein or as may be established by the Board of Directors, to obtain copies of books and records, tax returns, shareholder lists, organizational documents, capital contribution statements, and other information related to the status of the business from the Company from time to time upon reasonable demand for any purpose reasonably related to the Shareholder’s interest as a Shareholder of the Company, but only during the Company’s normal business hours.

Section 3. Lost or Destroyed Certificates

The holder of any shares of the Company shall immediately notify the Company of any loss or destruction of any certificate issued to him. The Company may issue a new certificate in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to have been lost or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of the lost or destroyed certificate, or his legal representatives, to give the Company a bond in such sum as the Board of Directors may direct, and with such surety or sureties as may be satisfactory to the Board of Directors, to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss or destruction of any such certificate.

A new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is proper so to do.

Section 4. Record Date

The Board of Directors may set a record date for a stated period for the purpose of making any proper determination with respect to Shareholders, including which Shareholders are entitled to notice of a meeting, vote at a meeting, receive a distribution, or be allotted other rights.

The record date shall not be more than ninety (90) days before the date on which the action requiring the determination will be taken. In the case of a meeting of Shareholders, the record date shall be at least ten (10) days before the date of the meeting.

ARTICLE III - MEMBERSHIP AND TRANSFERABILITY

Section 1. Shareholders

For the purpose of this Agreement the term “Shareholder” shall mean a “Member” as defined under Section 18-101(11) of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Del. C. Sections 18-101 et seq. (the “Act”)

As of the Effective Date, the Company has one hundred (100) Shares issued and outstanding and such Shares are held by Cott Acquisition Limited (85 Shares) and Cott U.S. Acquisition LLC (15 Shares). In consequence, as of the Effective Date, Cott Acquisition Limited and Cott U.S. Acquisition LLC are together the holders of 100% of the ownership interest in the profits and losses of the Company, have the right to receive any and all distributions from the Company, have the right to vote on and approve actions and decisions reserved to the Shareholders under this Agreement or the Act and have the right to any and all other benefits to which Shareholders of a limited liability company may be entitled under this Agreement or the Act, each according to their relative ownership interest.

No person may become a Shareholder of the Company unless he, she or it holds Shares, and no person who acquires a previously outstanding Share or Shares in accordance with this Agreement shall be a Shareholder of the Company within the meaning of the Act unless such Share or Shares are acquired in compliance with the provisions of this Article III. When any person is admitted as a Shareholder or ceases to be a Shareholder, the Board shall prepare an Annex to this Agreement describing the then-current membership of the Company.

Section 2. Substitute Shareholders

No Shareholder shall have the right to designate an assignee of Shares as a substitute Shareholder. No assignee of Shares shall have the rights, powers and obligations of a Shareholder under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any right to vote on any matter) unless each Shareholder consents to the admission of the proposed assignee as a Shareholder or the proposed assignee receives 100% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. An assignment of a Share entitles the assignee to share in such profits and losses, to receive such distribution or distributions, and to receive such allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit or similar item to which the assignor was entitled to the extent assigned.

Section 3. Termination of Membership

A Shareholder ceases to be a Shareholder and to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Shareholder upon assignment of all of his, her or its Shares. The pledge of, or granting of, a security interest, lien or other encumbrance in or against, any or all of the Shares shall, by itself, not cause the Shareholder to cease to be a Shareholder or cease to have the power to exercise any rights or powers of a Shareholder.

Section 4. Transferability

No Shareholder, without the prior written consent of all other Shareholders, shall sell, assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge his, her or its Shares. The Company shall not be required to recognize any such transfer until each Shareholder consents.
