     (ii) Additional Notes of the same series may consist of more than one different and separate tranches and may differ with respect to outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates, interest rates and premiums, if any, and price and terms of redemption or payment prior to maturity, but all such different and separate tranches of the same series shall vote as a single class and constitute one series;
 
     (iii) each series of Additional Notes shall be dated the date of issue, bear interest at such rate or rates, mature on such date or dates, be subject to such mandatory and optional prepayment on the dates and at the premiums, if any, have such additional or different conditions precedent to closing, such representations and warranties and such additional covenants as shall be specified in the Supplement under which such Additional Notes are issued and upon execution of any such Supplement, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect such additional covenants without further action on the part of the holders of the Notes outstanding under this Agreement, provided, that any such additional covenants shall inure to the benefit of all holders of Notes so long as any Additional Notes issued pursuant to such Supplement remain outstanding;
 
     (iv) each series of Additional Notes issued under this Agreement shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 1 to Exhibit S hereto with such variations, omissions and insertions as are necessary or permitted hereunder;
 
     (v) the minimum principal amount of any Additional Note originally issued under a Supplement shall be $5,000,000;
 
     (vi) all Additional Notes shall mature more than one year after the issuance thereof and shall constitute Funded Debt of the Company and shall rank pari passu with all other outstanding Notes; and

Each Obligor has the corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Other Agreements and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

     Section 5.2. Authorization, etc. This Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership action on the part of each Obligor, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
     Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Company, through its agents, SPP Capital Partners, LLC, and US Bank, N.A., has delivered to you and each Other Purchaser a copy of a Confidential Direct Placement Memorandum, dated December 2005 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Since January 1, 2005, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to any Obligor that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Memorandum.
 
     Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists (i) of each Obligor’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by each Obligor and each other Subsidiary, (ii) of each Obligor’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and (iii) of each Obligor’s directors and senior officers.
 
     (b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, in all cases, are owned by the Obligors or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).
 
     (c) Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

     (d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal restriction or any agreement (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or limited liability company or limited partnership statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Subsidiary.
 
     Section 5.5. Financial Statements. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
 
     Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of this Agreement and the Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, articles of organization or operating agreement, or any other agreement or instrument to which any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor is bound or by which any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor.

     “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Series 2006-A Note, the principal of such Series 2006-A Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 
     “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Series 2006-A Notes is payable) based upon the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 
 
     “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” on the Bloomberg Financial Services Screen (or such other display as may replace Page PX1 on the Bloomberg Financial Services Screen) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.

     “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 
     “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series 2006-A Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1. 
 
     “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2006-A Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
 
SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
 
     Each Obligor, jointly and severally, covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

     Section 9.5. Corporate or Limited Liability Company or Limited Partnership Existence, etc. Each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership existence. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.8, each Obligor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of such Obligor and its Restricted Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of such Obligor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 9.6. Nature of Business. The Obligors and each of their Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business, taken on a combined basis, which would then be engaged in by the Obligors and their Restricted Subsidiaries would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business engaged in by such Obligors and their Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.

Any such notice of re-designation to the holders shall be given within five (5) Business Days of the election of the Company to so re-designate any such Subsidiary and shall contain a certification by a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying as to the No Default Requirement.

In the absence of the Company giving any such notice of initial designation pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), each such Person initially becoming a Subsidiary subsequent to the date of the Closing shall be deemed to be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, the Company shall have the right, with respect to each Subsidiary referred to in this Section 9.8(c), on not more than three occasions (in the aggregate for such re-designations) for each such Subsidiary, to re-designate the status of each such Subsidiary as a “Restricted Subsidiary” or an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” by giving notice in reasonable detail of any such re-designation to the holders, subject, however, to the No Default Requirement.

Such notice shall be accompanied by an executed copy of the joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 9.8(d) hereto and such other reasonable and customary closing showings and legal opinions as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to the Company. Substantially concurrently with (and within 10 days after) such Subsidiary becoming a new Obligor hereunder, the Obligors hereunder (including the new Obligor) will execute and deliver new Notes hereunder in replacement of the outstanding Notes.
 
     (e) If any Subsidiary is released as a “Borrower” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), under the Credit Agreement (and is not then designated as a borrower or obligor under any other credit facility of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), such Subsidiary shall be deemed released as an Obligor under this Agreement concurrently with the Company providing you with an Officer’s Certificate. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be accompanied by evidence of such release under the Credit Agreement and shall certify that (i) at the time of such release and immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default existed or shall exist hereunder (ii) such Subsidiary then being released is not then a borrower or obligor under any other credit facility, and (iii) other than the payment of reasonable legal fees, no consideration was granted to any agent or lender under the Credit Agreement, directly or indirectly in connection with such release including, but not limited to, any payment of any fees, any increase in pricing, any additional Guaranty, any participation in other transactions or any other credit enhancement or other benefit. In the event of such release, the Restricted Subsidiary being released shall continue to be a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder subject to the rights of the Company to re-designate the status of such Subsidiary in accordance with Section 9.8(c). For the avoidance of doubt, in any event, any Subsidiary whether now owned or hereafter formed or acquired which is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement, will be required to be an Obligor hereunder.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to any Obligor described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or described in clause (vi) of paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.
 
     (b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
 
     (c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it to be immediately due and payable.
 
     Upon any Note’s becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Note will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Note, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. Each Obligor acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Obligors (except as herein specifically provided for), and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Obligors in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
 
     Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

     Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Obligors have paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
     Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under Section 15, the Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.
 
SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.
 
     Section 13.1. Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Obligors shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

     Section 13.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or its attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Obligors shall execute and deliver, at the Obligors’ expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of the appropriate series (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Note is surrendered for a new Note in connection with Section 9.8(d), such new Note shall be dated as of the date that the new Note is issued, but the form of Note shall be modified to provide that notwithstanding the date of the Note, interest will accrue from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or from the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Obligors may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $250,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $250,000. Any transferee of a Note, or purchaser of a participation therein, shall, by its acceptance of such Note be deemed to make the same representations to the Obligors regarding the Note or participation as you and the Other Purchasers have made pursuant to Section 6.2, provided that such entity may (in reliance upon information provided by the Obligors, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) make a representation to the effect that the purchase by such entity of any Note will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406(a) of ERISA.
 
     Section 13.3. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
 
     (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $10,000,000, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 
 
     (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,
 
the Obligors at their own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the appropriate series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
 
SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.
 
     Section 14.1. Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in Lincoln, Nebraska at the principal office of US Bank, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

     Section 14.2. Home Office Payment. So long as you or your nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Obligors will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below your name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as you shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by you or your nominee you will, at your election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Obligors in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Obligors will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by you under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as you have made in this Section 14.2.
 
SECTION 15. EXPENSES, ETC.
 
     Section 15.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Obligors will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by you and each Other Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any supplements, additional series of Notes, amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, and (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Obligor or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes. The Obligors will pay, and will save you and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those retained by you).
 
     Section 15.2. Survival. The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

SECTION 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
 
     All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by you of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of you or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between you and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
 
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.
 
     Section 17.1. Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Obligors and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to you unless consented to by you in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 9.8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20.
 
     Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.
 
     (a) Solicitation. The Obligors will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Obligors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.
 
     (b) Payment. The Obligors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of the Notes unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding whether or not such holder consented to such waiver or amendment.
 
-34-
 


Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

     Section 17.3. Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Obligors and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
 
     Section 17.4. Notes Held by Obligors, etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Obligor or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

Any such notice must be sent:
 
     (i) if to you or your nominee, to you or it at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as you or it shall have specified to the Company in writing, 
 
     (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing, or 
 
     (iii) if to any Obligor, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Director of Finance, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.
 
     This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by you at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to you, may be reproduced by you by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or other similar process and you may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Obligor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by you in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Obligors or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
 
SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
 
     For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to you by or on behalf of any Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by you as being confidential information of such Obligor or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to you prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by you or any Person acting on your behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to you other than through disclosure by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to you under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. You will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by you in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to you, provided that you may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) your directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by your Notes), (ii) your financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which you sell or offer to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which you offer to purchase any security of the Obligors (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you, (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about your investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to you, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which you are a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent you may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under your Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Obligors in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee or any other holder that shall have previously delivered such a confirmation), such holder will confirm in writing that it is bound by the provisions of this Section 20.

Cabela’s Incorporated, et al. Note Purchase Agreement

SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.
 
     You shall have the right to substitute any one of your Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that you have agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both you and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of you. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to you all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to you, and you shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.
 
SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS.
 
     Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.
 
     Section 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.
 
     Section 22.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
     Section 22.4. Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

     Section 22.6. Governing Law.

(“CRI”) and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City Kansas (“UG”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Specific Venture Agreement dated February 7, 2003, Second Amendment to Specific Venture Agreement dated May 25, 2004, and Third Amendment to Specific Venture Agreement dated July 1, 2005, in connection with the development of the Kansas City retail store, the UG has a reversionary interest in the Pad Sites (as defined in the Agreement) and can exercise said reversionary interest rights in the event that construction is not commenced on any or all of the Pad Sites within seven (7) years and six (6) months of the Grand Boulevard Completion Date (as defined in the Agreement). Said reversionary rights are also set forth in that certain Special Warranty Deed dated November 2, 2001 from the UG (as Grantor) to CRI (as Grantee). As of December 19, 2005, all of the Pad Sites have been sold by CRI, but Lots 2 and 5 are still under development by their respective owners.

     9.

5.15-20
 


     10. CRI, the City of Buda, Texas, Hays County, Texas, the City of Buda 4B Corporation and the Dupre Local Government Corporation entered into that certain Master Economic Development Agreement dated on or about May 14, 2004 (the “Agreement”), which was later assigned from CRI to Cabela’s Retail TX, whereby Cabela’s Retail TX agreed to build a Cabela’s retail store and employ a certain number of full-time equivalent employees. In the event that Cabela’s Retail TX does not obtain the employment level set forth in the Agreement, Cabela’s Retail TX shall reimburse to the applicable Governmental Unit (as defined in the Agreement) an amount equal to $5,000 per each full-time equivalent job below the number required.
 
     11. In six (6) of the Cabela’s retail store locations (SD, KS, PA, TX – 2, and UT) Cabela’s has declared a condominium on their building for purposes of separating out a portion of the retail store as a public museum. By doing so, Cabela’s has been able to obtain certain financing (normally in the form of bonds) and, in exchange for the financing, Cabela’s has deeded the museum to the local municipality that issued bonds. During the time when the municipality owns the museum, Cabela’s manages the museum in exchange for certain management fees that accrue. Cabela’s generally has an obligation in each of these locations to repurchase the museum back from the municipal owner after the bonds are paid off or otherwise expire in accordance with their terms. The purchase price for the museum is usually based upon fair market value at the time of the sale, and Cabela’s is to receive a credit against the purchase price in the amount of any accrued management fees. In the event that the accrued management fees do not match or exceed the price of the museum at the time the repurchase occurs, Cabela’s would be required to pay an amount equal to the difference between (i) the purchase price for the museum and (ii) the accrued management fees. The agreements were structured with the understanding that the accrued management fees would accumulate and pay for the museum at the time of the repurchase, but there is no way of knowing what the fair market value for the museums will be in the future and whether the accrued management fees will be enough to cover the costs for the museums.

The Definitive Agreement has been generally negotiated between the parties, but is still subject to formal approval by the municipalities, which is anticipated to be complete by early March 2006.

      Re:       5.99% Senior Notes, Series A, due February 27, 2016 (the “Notes”)
  Our File No. 5200-0123

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel to Cabela’s Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, Cabela's Catalog, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Cabela's Retail, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Cabela's Outdoor Adventures, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Cabelas.com, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Cabela's Wholesale, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Cabela's Ventures, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Van Dyke Supply Company, Inc., a South Dakota corporation, Wild Wings, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, Cabela’s Lodging, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company, Cabela’s Marketing and Brand Management, Inc., a Nebraska corporation, Cabela’s Retail LA, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company, Cabela’s Trophy Properties, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company, Original Creations, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, Cabela’s Retail TX, L.P., a Nebraska limited partnership, Cabela’s Retail GP, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company, Legacy Trading Company, a South Dakota corporation, CRLP, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company and Cabela’s Retail MO, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company (said entities hereinafter collectively referred to as "Obligors") in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of those certain Note Purchase Agreements, dated as of February 27, 2006 (the “Note Agreements”), by and among Obligors and each of the purchasers listed on Schedule A to the Note Agreements. This letter (the “Opinion”) is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.4(a) of the Note Agreements. All capitalized terms in this Opinion which are not otherwise defined in this Opinion shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note Agreements.
 
     1. For purposes of this Opinion, we have reviewed such documents and made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. Our review included, without limitation, the following documents (the “Opinion Documents”):
 
          a. Note Agreements;
 
          b. Notes; and
 
          c. Form of Joinder Agreement.
 
EXHIBIT 4.4(a)
(to Note Purchase Agreement)
 


As to certain matters of fact material to the opinions expressed in this Opinion, we have relied on the representations made in the Opinion Documents and certificates of public officials and officers of the Obligors. We have not independently established the facts so relied on.
 
     2. Based upon the foregoing and subject to the other paragraphs of this Opinion, we express the following opinions:
 
     a. Each Obligor is a corporation or limited liability company or limited partnership (as appropriate) duly incorporated or organized and validly existing under the laws of the State in which it was formed and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, to enter into the Opinion Documents and to perform all of its obligations under each and all of the foregoing. 
 
     b. Each Obligor is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 
     c. Each of the Opinion Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company or limited partnership action on the part of the Obligors which are parties thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by said Obligors and constitutes the legal, valid and binding contract of said Obligors enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 
     d. No approval, consent or withholding of objection on the part of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental body, Federal or state, is necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of the Opinion Documents. 
 
     e. Except as otherwise provided below, the issuance and sale of the Notes and the execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of the Note Agreements do not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property of the Obligors pursuant to the provisions of their respective (i) Articles/Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (ii) Articles of Organization and Operating Agreements or (iii) Certificate of Limited Partnership and Limited Partnership Agreements, or, to our knowledge, any agreement or other instrument in which any of the Obligors are a party or by which any of the Obligors may be bound. We advise that (i) the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 15, 2005, by and among certain Obligors and U.S. Bank, National Association, and the other banks a party thereto from time to time, (ii) the Note Agreements dated September 5, 2002 (the “2002 Note Agreements”), from certain Obligors to each of the purchasers listed on Schedule A to the 2002 Note Agreements, as amended by that certain First Amendment Agreement dated as of October 31, 2005, and as amended by that certain Second Amendment Agreement dated as of February 27, 2006, and (iii) the Note Agreements dated January 1, 1995 (the “1995 Note Agreements”), from certain Obligors to United of Omaha Life Insurance Company, Companion Life Insurance Company and Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of June 30, 1997, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of September 1, 2000, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 3 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of October 9, 2001, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 4 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of September 5, 2002, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 5 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of May 5, 2004, and as amended by that certain Amendment No. 6 to 1995 Note Agreements dated as of February 27, 2006, contain covenants respecting leverage, interest coverage and fixed charge coverage, none of which covenants prohibit the issuance of the Notes. We express no opinion as to whether the execution, delivery and performance of the Note Agreements and the funding of the Notes will cause or constitute a default under any such provisions as a result of exceeding financial ratios. 
 
E-4.4(a)-2
 

 
     f. To our knowledge, there is no litigation pending, threatened against or affecting the Obligors or any Subsidiary, at law or in equity, which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely effect, individually or in the aggregate, the properties, business, prospects, profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Obligors or their Subsidiaries or which could impair the ability of the Obligors to carry on their respective businesses as now conducted or impair the ability of the Obligors to comply with the provisions of and perform their respective obligations under the Opinion Documents. 
 
     g. Neither the issuance of the Notes, nor the use of the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, will violate or conflict with Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America. 
 
     h. The issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Agreements does not, under existing law, require the registration of the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
 
The opinions expressed in this Opinion are based solely upon and limited to the federal law of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the law of the State of Nebraska.
 
We neither express nor imply any opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in any of the Opinion Documents that provide for the payment of attorneys’ fees by the Obligors or any Subsidiary.
 
We neither express nor imply any opinion as to the effect on the Obligors of litigation or claims by taxing authorities or private parties relating to potential liabilities for sales, use or related taxes on the Obligors’ direct marketing business.
 
This Opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the Opinion Documents. You may not rely upon this Opinion for any other purpose. Without our prior written consent, this Opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose except that subsequent institutional transferees may rely upon this opinion, but only as of the date of original delivery hereof.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
[See Attached]
