Exhibit 10.2
THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made between Lululemon Athletica Inc. (the “Company”) and [___] (the “Optionee”).
WHEREAS,
the Company maintains the lululemon athletica inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) for the benefit of the key employees, directors and advisors of the Company and its
Affiliates; and
WHEREAS, the Plan permits the award of Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase Shares, subject
to the terms of the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant the Optionee Non-Qualified Stock Options under the Plan
to further align the Optionee’s personal financial interests with those of the Company’s
stockholders.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the agreements set forth herein and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1. Award of Option. This Agreement evidences the grant to the Optionee of an option (the
“Option”) to purchase [___] ([___]) Shares (the “Option Shares”). The Option
is subject to the terms set forth herein, and in all respects is subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan applicable to Non-Qualified Stock Options, which terms and provisions are
incorporated herein by this reference. Except as otherwise specified herein or unless the context
herein requires otherwise, the terms defined in the Plan will have the same meanings herein.
2. Nature of the Option. The Option is intended to be a nonstatutory stock option and is
not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), or to otherwise qualify for any special tax benefits to
the Optionee.
3. Date of Grant; Term of Option. The Option was granted on [___], 2007 (the
“Effective Date”) and may not be exercised later than the date that is ten (10) years after
that date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the Plan.
4. Option Exercise Price. The per share exercise price of the Option is $[___] (the
“Exercise Price”), which amount is intended to be not less than the Fair Market Value per
Share on the Effective Date.
5. Exercise of Option. The Option will become exercisable only in accordance with the terms
and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, as follows:
(a) Right to Exercise. The Option will become exercisable with respect to 25% of the Option
Shares on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date, provided
in each case that the Optionee remains continuously in service with the Company through the
applicable anniversary. For the purposes of this Agreement, “service
with the Company” will be deemed to include service with an Affiliate of the Company for so
long as that entity remains and Affiliate of the Company.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Optionee may exercise the Option by providing written notice to
the Company stating the election to exercise the Option. Such written notice shall be signed by
the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the Secretary of the Company
or such other person as may be designated by the Company, and shall be accompanied by payment of
the Exercise Price and an amount equal to any required tax withholding. Payment of the Exercise
Price may be made in cash. In addition, this Option may be exercised through means of a “net
settlement,” whereby no Exercise Price will be due and where the number of Share issued upon such
exercise will be equal to: (A) the product of (i) the number of Option Shares as to which the
Option is then being exercised, and (ii) the difference between (a) the then current Fair Market
Value per Share and (b) the Exercise Price, divided by (B) the then current Fair Market Value per
Share. A number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Option Shares as to which
the Option is then being exercised and the number of Shares actually issued to the Optionee upon
such net settlement will be deemed to have been received by the Company in satisfaction of the
Exercise Price.
(c) Share Legends. Any certificate evidencing an Option Share will contain such legends as
may be required or appropriate under any applicable stockholder agreement or stock purchase
agreement, in addition to any other legend that may be required or appropriate under applicable
law, the Plan or otherwise.
(d) Partial Exercise. The Option may be exercised in whole or in part; provided, however,
that any exercise may apply only with respect to a whole number of Option Shares.
(e) Restrictions on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised, and any purported exercise
will be void, if the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation
of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. In addition, as a
further condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to make any
representation or warranty to the Company as may be required by or advisable under any applicable
law or regulation.
6. Investment Representations. The Optionee represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) unless the Option Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), he or she is acquiring the Option (and upon exercise of the Option, will be
acquiring the Option Shares) for investment for his or her own account, not as a nominee or agent,
and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof; and
(b) unless the Option Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, he or she has a
preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or one of its directors, officers or
controlling persons and by reason of his or her business or financial experience, has, and could be
reasonably assumed to have, the capacity to protect his or her interests in connection with the
acquisition of this Option and the Option Shares.

hypothecated, gifted, transferred or disposed of in any manner either voluntarily or involuntarily
by operation of law, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. During the
Optionee’s lifetime, the Option is exercisable only by the Optionee. Subject to the foregoing and

without Cause and with or without notice.
