-4-

 1.4
Governing Law

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
 1.5
Common Shares Reserved for Issuance

The Company hereby reserves 100,000 Common Shares for issuance under this Plan,
provided that Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Deferred Share
Units which are cancelled, terminated or settled without having been redeemed
for Common Shares issued from treasury will again be available for issuance
under this Plan.
Section  2.    Election Under the Plan
 2.1
Payment and Deferral of Director’s Remuneration

Subject to such rules, approvals and conditions as the Committee may impose and
subject to Annex 1 in respect of US Participants, an Eligible Director may elect
to receive the Director’s Remuneration, in whole or in part, in the form of
Deferred Share Units.
(s)
Method of Electing for Director’s Remuneration. Unless otherwise permitted by
the Committee, to elect to receive Deferred Share Units, the Eligible Director
shall complete and deliver to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or
other officer of the Company designated by the Committee, a written irrevocable
election by no later than the last day of the Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal
Year respecting which the Director’s Remuneration becomes payable. The Eligible
Director’s written election shall, subject to any minimum amount that may be
required by the Committee, designate the portion or percentage of the Director’s
Remuneration for the applicable Fiscal Year that is to be deferred into Deferred
Share Units, with the remaining portion or percentage to be paid in cash in
accordance with the Company’s regular practices of paying such cash
compensation. In the absence of a designation to the contrary, the Eligible
Director’s election for the most recently ended Fiscal Year with respect to the
portion or percentage of the Director’s Remuneration that is to be deferred into
Deferred Share Units shall continue to apply to all subsequent Director’s
Remuneration payments until the Eligible Director submits another written
election in accordance with this paragraph. An Eligible Director shall only file
one election in respect of the Director’s Remuneration payable in any Fiscal
Year and the election shall be irrevocable for that Fiscal Year. If no election
is made, and no prior election remains effective, with respect to any Fiscal
Year, the Eligible Director shall be deemed to have elected to defer any minimum
amount that may be required by the Committee into Deferred Share Units and to
receive the balance of the Director’s Remuneration for the applicable Fiscal
Year quarter in cash.

(t)
Payment of Director’s Remuneration. The portion or percentage of the Director’s
Remuneration credited as Deferred Share Units, as elected by the Participant,
shall be determined on the first Business Day following the last day of each
Fiscal Year quarter for which the Director’s Remuneration is payable.

(u)
Deferred Share Units. Deferred Share Units elected by a Participant pursuant to
the Plan shall be credited to an account maintained for the Participant by the
Company. The number of Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share
Units) to be credited on the date prescribed by paragraph 2.1(b) shall be
determined by dividing the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-5-

amount of the Director’s Remuneration to be deferred into Deferred Share Units
on such date by the Market Price per Common Share on the Conversion Date.
(v)
Dividends. When dividends are paid on Common Shares, a Participant shall be
credited with dividend equivalents in respect of the Deferred Share Units
credited to the Participant’s account as of the record date for payment of
dividends. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted into additional Deferred
Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units) based on the Market
Price per Common Share on the date credited.

 2.2
Termination of Service

(a)
Termination of Service. Subject to Annex I in respect of US Participants, a
Participant who has retired from all positions as a director of the Company, or
who, except as a result of death, has otherwise ceased for any reason to hold
any such positions with the Company, may redeem the Deferred Share Units
credited to the Participant’s account by filing with the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, or other officer of the Company designated by the Committee, one
or more notices of redemption of Deferred Share Units in the prescribed form on
or before December 15 of the first calendar year commencing after the date the
Participant retires from or otherwise ceases to hold such positions (other than
as a result of the Participant’s death). If the Participant fails to file a
notice of redemption of the Deferred Share Units on or before such December 15,
the Participant shall be deemed to have filed with the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company a notice of redemption on such December 15 to redeem all Deferred
Share Units credited to such Participant’s account. Each date on which a notice
of redemption is filed or deemed to be filed with the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company, or other officer of the Company designated by the Committee, is the
“Filing Date”. Each notice of redemption filed by the Participant shall specify
the number of Deferred Share Units to be redeemed and if such number is not so
specified, it shall be deemed to be all the Deferred Share Units credited to the
Participant’s account.

(b)
Death of Eligible Director. In the event of the death of a Participant while
serving as a director of the Company, the Company shall redeem all Deferred
Share Units credited to the Participant’s Account (without any action on the
part of the deceased Participant’s estate).

(c)
Subject to Annex I in respect of US Participants, within the earlier of 5
Business Days following the Filing Date or 90 days following the Participant’s
death, as applicable, the Company shall redeem, subject to Section  3.8, the
Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units) required to be
redeemed pursuant to section 2.2(a) or  2.2(b) by, in the discretion of the
Company;

(i)
issuing from treasury or by market purchase one Common Share for each full
Deferred Share Unit to be redeemed and making a lump sum cash payment (net of
any applicable withholdings) in respect of any partial Deferred Share Unit to be
redeemed, determined in the same manner as set out in section  2.2(c)(ii),

(ii)
making a lump sum payment (net of any applicable withholdings) in respect of all
full and partial Deferred Share Units to be redeemed, equal to the number of
Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units) to be

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-6-

redeemed on such Filing Date or date of death, as applicable, multiplied by the
Market Price per Common Share determined as at such applicable date, or
(iii)
a combination of (i) and (ii).

Section  1.     General
 1.6
Capital Adjustments

In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of
shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal
cash dividends) of the Company’s assets to shareholders, or any other change in
the capital of the Company affecting Common Shares, the Committee will make such
proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem
appropriate to reflect such change, with respect to (i) the number or kind of
shares or other securities on which the Deferred Share Units are based; and (ii)
the number of Deferred Share Units credited to any Eligible Director’s account
and the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance hereunder.
 1.7
Non-Exclusivity

Nothing contained herein will prevent the Board from adopting other additional
compensation arrangements for the benefit of Eligible Directors, subject to any
required regulatory or shareholder approval.
 1.8
Unfunded Plan

Deferred Share Units shall be credited to an unfunded bookkeeping account
established and maintained by the Company in the name of each Participant.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Deferred
Share Unit shall not be considered or construed as an actual investment in
Common Shares. To the extent any individual holds any rights under the Plan,
such rights (unless otherwise determined by the Committee) shall be no greater
than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
 1.9
Successors and Assigns

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and each
Eligible Director, including without limitation, the legal representatives of
each Eligible Director, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
representative of the Company or an Eligible Director.
 1.10
Transferability of Deferred Share Units

Rights respecting Deferred Share Units shall not be transferable or assignable
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
 1.11
Amendment and Termination

(a)
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate this Plan, or any portion thereof, at
any time, subject to those provisions of applicable rules, regulations and
policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, as
applicable, if any, that require the approval of shareholders.

(b)
No amendment, suspension or termination may materially adversely affect any
Deferred Share Units, or any rights pursuant thereto, granted previously to any
Participant without the consent of that Participant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-7-

(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment of the Plan shall ensure that the
Plan is continuously excluded from the salary deferral arrangements rules under
the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any successor rules.

(d)
If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative
guidelines, and other rules adopted by the Committee and in force at the time of
this Plan, will continue in effect as long as a Deferred Share Unit or any
rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding. However, notwithstanding the
termination of the Plan, the Committee may make any amendments to the Plan or
the Deferred Share Units it would be entitled to make if the Plan were still in
effect.

(e)
With the consent of the Participant affected thereby, the Committee may amend or
modify any outstanding Deferred Share Unit in any manner to the extent that the
Committee would have had the authority to initially grant the Deferred Share
Units so modified or amended.

 1.12
Tax Consequences

It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns
which may be required under Canadian and U.S. tax laws within the periods
specified in those laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the
Plan. The Company shall not be held responsible for any tax consequences to a
Participant as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan.
 1.13
Withholding Taxes

The Company may take such steps as are considered necessary or appropriate for
the withholding of any taxes which the Company is required by any law or
regulation of any governmental authority whatsoever to withhold in connection
with any payment under the Plan including, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the withholding of all or any portion of any payment or the
withholding of the issue of Common Shares to be issued upon the redemption of
any Deferred Shares Units, until such time as the Participant has paid the
Company for any amount which the Company is required to withhold with respect to
such taxes.
 1.14
US Participants

Compensation payable under the Plan to US Participants is intended to be exempt
from taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations
issued thereunder, and the Plan (including Annex I) and all Deferred Share Units
shall be construed, interpreted and administered in compliance with such intent.
If the Committee determines that any amounts payable hereunder may be taxable to
a Participant under Section 409A, the Committee may (i) subject to Section 3.6,
adopt such amendments to the Plan and appropriate policies and procedures,
including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Committee
determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of
the benefits provided by the Plan and/or (ii) take such other actions as the
Committee determines necessary or appropriate to avoid or limit the imposition
of an additional tax under Section 409A; provided, that neither the Company nor
any of its subsidiaries nor any other person or entity shall have any liability
to a Participant (or any beneficiary thereof) with respect to any tax imposed by
Section 409A. Annex I sets forth special terms of the Plan applicable to US
Participants.
 1.15
No Liability

The Company shall not be liable to any Participant for any loss resulting from a
decline in the market value of any Common Shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-8-

 1.16
No Right to Continued Board Membership

Nothing contained herein shall (i) be construed as conferring upon any
Participant the right to continue as a member of the Board, (ii) affect in any
way the right of the Company or shareholders to terminate such membership, or
(iii) affect in any way the rights of any party contained in any agreement
governing a Participant’s service as a member of the Board or other agreement
governing the Participant’s non-employee services to the Company.
 1.17
Effective Date

This Plan was initially adopted by the Board on September 18, 2012 (the
“Effective Date”) and amended and restated on October 14, 2014. Should any
changes to this Plan be required by any securities commission or other
governmental body of any jurisdiction of Canada or the United States to which
this Plan has been submitted or by any stock exchange on which the Common Shares
may from time to time be listed, such changes will be made to this Plan as are
necessary to conform with such requests and, if such changes are approved by the
Board, this Plan, as amended, will remain in full force and effect in its
amended form as of and from that date.

ANNEX I TO PERFORMANCE SPORTS GROUP LTD. DIRECTORS’ DEFERRED
SHARE UNIT PLAN FOR US PARTICIPANTS
The following additional or special terms and conditions shall apply to all
Eligible Directors who are US Participants.
In the event that there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the
Plan and the provisions of this Annex I, this Annex I shall govern.
Section 2.
Election Under the Plan. With respect to US Participants, notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary,

2.1    Payment and Deferral of Director’s Remuneration
(e)
Method of Electing for Director’s Remuneration. Each Participant’s irrevocable
written deferral election with respect to Director Remuneration otherwise
payable to him for services rendered in a Fiscal Year must be provided to the
Company in the manner set forth in Section  2.1(a) no later than the last day of
the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year with respect to which such
deferral election relates; provided, however, that with respect to Director
Remuneration related to the first Fiscal Year in which an Eligible Director
becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (including the 2013 Fiscal Year),
the Eligible Director’s completed election form must be received by the Company
within 30 days following the date on which such Eligible Director first becomes
eligible to participate in the Plan (provided that such election shall relate
only to amounts payable for services performed after the date such Election Form
is so received).

2.2    Termination of Service
(d)
Redemption of Deferred Share Units. Each Participant’s Deferred Share Units
shall be redeemed in full on the earlier to occur of (A) the Participant’s
separation from service

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-1-

with the Company for any reason and (B) a Change in Control (such earlier date,
the “Redemption Date”).
(a)
Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units) to be redeemed
pursuant to section 2.2(d) on the Redemption Date shall be redeemed by, in the
discretion of the Company,

(i)
issuing to the Participant one Common Share for each full Deferred Share Unit to
be redeemed and making a lump sum cash payment (net of any applicable
withholdings) determined in the same manner as set out in section 2.2(e)(ii) in
respect of any partial Deferred Share Unit to be redeemed;

(ii)
making a lump sum payment (net of any applicable withholdings) in respect of all
full and partial Deferred Share Units to be redeemed, equal to the number of
Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units) to be redeemed
on such Payment Designation Date multiplied by the closing market price Common
Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding
the Redemption Date (or, if such shares are not then listed and posted for
trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, on such other stock exchange in Canada on
which Common Shares are listed and posted for trading as may be selected for
such purpose by the Committee); provided that, in the event that Common Shares
are not listed and posted for trading on any stock exchange at the applicable
date, the price in respect thereof for purposes of this Section 2.2(e) shall be
the fair market value of a Common Share as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion, or

(iii)
a combination of (i) and (ii).

(f)
“Change in Control” for purposes of this Annex I means a change in the ownership
or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion
of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of

“Separation from service” for purposes of this Annex I has the meaning given to
such term under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and U.S. Treasury
regulation section 1.409A-1(h).

(h)
Advanced Redemption. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any
portion of a Participant’s Deferred Share Units is required to be included in
income by the Participant prior to the Redemption Date due to a violation of the
requirements of Code Section 409A, the Participant may petition the Committee
for the redemption of those portions of his or her Deferred Share Units that are
required to be so included in income. As soon as reasonably practicable
following the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Company shall redeem a portion of such Participant’s Deferred
Share Units equal to the amount required to be included in income as a result of
the failure of the Plan to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A; provided,
however, that in no event may the number of Deferred Share Units redeemed exceed
the total number of Deferred Share Units credited to such Participant under the
Plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-2-

(i)
No Acceleration or Other Change. Except as provided in Section 2.2(e) of this
Annex I, no acceleration or other change as to the time and form of payment in
respect of Deferred Share Units shall be permitted following the date on which
the Participant’s deferral election becomes irrevocable as provided under
Section 2.1 of this Annex I except to the extent permitted and in the manner
specified under Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code;
provided that if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Code Section 409A, payments in respect of his or her Deferred Share Units in
connection with such Participant’s separation from service shall be subject to
any delay required under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the regulations
thereunder.
