marketing and selling hunting, fishing and other outdoor gear and related goods through catalog mailings, internet and retail outlets and, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, other activities related to and incidental to the foregoing
(including the ownership and operation of World’s Foremost Bank) (the “Business”); 
  
 WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company and certain investors (the “Investors”) are entering into a Stock

and sell and the Investors will purchase shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that the Company purchase and redeem from the Cabela Family Sellers, and the Cabela Family Sellers sell to the Company,
the Common Shares (as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived and the representations and warranties, conditions and promises contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

	 	1.1	Redemption of Common Shares. 

  
 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing the Cabela Family Sellers shall sell to the Company, and the Company shall

 7 

 
transactions contemplated by this Agreement due to the engagement by, or any other act of, the Company. 
  

	 	7.3	Time Period for Assertion of Claims. 

  
 No claim shall be brought under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 unless the indemnified parties, or any of them, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date,
give the indemnifying parties (a) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known or (b) written notice pursuant to Section 7.4 of any Third Party Claim,
the existence of which might give rise to such a claim. Upon the giving of such written notice as aforesaid, the indemnified parties, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings before or subsequent to the Survival Date for
the enforcement of their rights under Sections 7.1 or 7.2. 
  

	 	7.4	Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. 

  
 The obligations and liabilities of an indemnifying party with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of Liability by third parties (each, a
“Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. For the purposes of this Article 7, “Liability” means any liability (whether known or unknown, whether asserted or unasserted, whether absolute or
contingent, whether accrued or unaccrued, whether liquidated or unliquidated or whether due or to become due). 
  
 (a) The indemnified parties shall promptly give written notice to the indemnifying parties of any Third Party Claim which might give rise
to any Loss by the indemnified parties, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the indemnified parties in notifying any indemnifying parties
shall relieve the indemnifying parties from any Liability or obligation hereunder unless notice is not given in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3 or (and then solely to the extent) the indemnifying party thereby is prejudiced by the
delay. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any
other document or instrument. 
  
 (b) If the
indemnifying parties shall acknowledge in a writing delivered to the indemnified parties that the indemnifying parties shall be obligated under the terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with such Third Party Claim, then
the indemnifying parties shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at their own expense and by their own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties; provided, however, that the
indemnifying parties shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, notwithstanding the giving of such written acknowledgment, if (i) the claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief, (ii) the indemnified
parties shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying parties, and, in the reasonable opinion of the
indemnified parties, counsel for the indemnifying parties could not adequately represent the interests of the indemnified parties because such interests could be in conflict with those of the indemnifying parties, (iii) such action or proceeding
involves, or could have a material effect on, any material matter beyond the scope of the indemnification obligation of the indemnifying parties or (iv) the indemnifying parties shall not have assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in a timely
fashion. 
  

 8 

 (c) If the indemnifying parties shall assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (under
circumstances in which the proviso to the first sentence of Section 7.4(b) is not applicable), the indemnifying parties shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with
the defense thereof. If the indemnifying parties do not exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim by giving the written acknowledgement referred to in Section 7.4(b), or are otherwise restricted from so assuming by the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 7.4(b), the indemnifying parties shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in such defense with their own counsel and at their own expense; and in any such case, the indemnified parties may assume the
defense of the Third Party Claim, with counsel which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying parties, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with their good faith business judgment and shall not effect any settlement without the
consent of the indemnifying parties, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. 
  
 (d) If the indemnifying parties exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, they shall not make any settlement of
any claims without the written consent of the indemnified parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  

	 	7.5	Definition of Losses. 

  
 As used herein, “Losses” means any loss (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Common Shares and non-cash losses or

partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Investor Representatives” and together with such Investor, the “Investor Indemnitees”) against, and none of the Investor Indemnitees shall
be liable to the Corporation, any third party or any other stockholder for or with respect to, any and all Losses, together with all costs and 

  

 23 

 
expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) related thereto or incurred in enforcing this Article 7 (i) resulting from, arising out of,
relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Corporation contained in this Agreement, or any Closing Certificate, (ii) resulting from, arising out of, relating to,
in the nature of, or caused by the breach by the Corporation of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, (iii) with respect to any Liability for any brokers’ or finders’ fees or compensation owing or alleged to be owing from
the Investor Indemnitees in connection with the transactions contemplated by the this Agreement due to the engagement by, or any other act of the Company, and (iv) arising out of, relating to, resulting from or caused by, any transaction, status,
event, condition, occurrence or situation relating to or in connection with, (A) the status or conduct of the Company, or (B) the execution, performance and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the following part of this sentence, upon judicial determination, which is final and no longer appealable, that the act or omission giving rise to the indemnification pursuant to clause (iv) of Section
7.1(a) resulted primarily out of or was based primarily upon gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, (unless such action was based upon the Investor Indemnitee’s reliance in good faith upon any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or promises made by the Corporation herein) of the Investor Indemnitee seeking indemnification, the Corporation shall not be responsible for any Losses sought to be indemnified in connection therewith, and the Corporation shall be entitled
to recover from such Investor Indemnitee all amounts previously paid in full or partial satisfaction of such indemnity, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses) of the Corporation reasonably
incurred in effecting such recovery, if any. 
  
 (b) Each Investor severally as to itself only and not jointly with or as to any other Investor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Corporation against all Losses, together with all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal
and accounting fees and expenses) related thereto or incurred in enforcing this Article 7 (i) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties
of such Investor contained in this Agreement or any Closing Certificate, (ii) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by, the breach of any covenant or agreement of such Investor contained in this Agreement, or (iii)
with respect to any liability for any brokers’ or finders’ fees or compensation owing or alleged to be owing from the Corporation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement due to the engagement by, or any other act
(other than the purchase of the Common Shares) of, such Investor. 
  
 (c) For purposes of this Article 7, any and all references to a “Material Adverse Effect” or “material” limitations contained in a representation and warranty shall be considered in determining the
truth or accuracy or such representation and warranty and/or whether a breach of such representation and warranty has occurred, but shall not, if it is determined that such representation and warranty is untrue or inaccurate or that a breach of such
representation and warranty has occurred, be considered for purposes of determining the thresholds, baskets or caps set forth in Sections 7(d) and 7(e). 
  
 (d) The Investors shall not have the right to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) for the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of the
Corporation’s representations and warranties (other than those set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 

  

 24 

 
3.5, 3.6 and 3.7) until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by all Investor Indemnitees which are indemnifiable under Section 7.1(a)(i) (other than those
set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7) on a cumulative basis since the Closing Date exceeds $3,000,000; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating such amount in the case of Losses incurred by the Investor Indemnitees
indirectly as a result of Losses incurred directly by the Corporation, the amount to be included shall be equal to the product of (x) the full amount of such Losses incurred directly by the Corporation multiplied by (y) the Investor
Indemnitees’ aggregate Proportionate Percentage. 
  
 (e) In no event shall the Corporation have any obligation to indemnify Investor Indemnitees for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(i) to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $32,000,000; provided, however, said $32,000,000
limitation shall not apply to the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7. 
  
 (f) Except as provided in the following sentence, all indemnification rights hereunder shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the applicable Survival Date relating to the underlying representation, warranty, covenant or agreement upon which indemnity rights are
based, regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of, or any knowledge of the Persons seeking indemnification or the acceptance by the Persons seeking indemnification of any certificate or opinion. The preceding
sentence notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be liable to (i) any JPMP Investor Indemnitee for a particular untruth, inaccuracy or breach of a particular representation or warranty made by the Corporation in good faith if, and only to the
extent that, the Corporation can prove that Stephen P. Murray had Knowledge prior to Closing that such representation or warranty was not true and accurate, or (ii) any MGI Investor Indemnitee for a particular untruth, inaccuracy or breach of a
particular representation or warranty made by the Corporation in good faith if, and only to the extent that, the Corporation can prove that Michael McCarthy had Knowledge prior to Closing that such representation or warranty was not true and
accurate; provided, however, that the Knowledge of Michael McCarthy shall not be imputed to Stephen P. Murray and the Knowledge of Stephen P. Murray shall not be imputed to Michael McCarthy; and, provided further, that the Knowledge of Michael
McCarthy (so long as Stephen P. Murray does not have such Knowledge prior to the Closing of the same facts or matters) shall not prohibit any of the JPMP Investor Indemnitees from seeking indemnity under this Article 7 and the Knowledge of Stephen
P. Murray (so long as Michael McCarthy does not have such Knowledge prior to the Closing of the same facts or matters) shall not prohibit any of the MGI Investor Indemnitees from seeking indemnity under this Article 7. Neither Stephen P. Murray nor
Michael McCarthy shall be deemed to have Knowledge of a particular untruth, inaccuracy or breach of a particular representation or warranty of the Corporation based upon information that has been provided to them which they have specifically raised
and discussed with the Company (or its representatives) and the Company (or its representatives) has stated in writing or otherwise that such information does not breach a representation and warranty, has been resolved fully or does not or will not
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or the value of the Common Shares held by the Investors. 
  
 7.2 Time Period for Assertion of Claims. No claim shall be brought under Section 7.1 unless the indemnified parties, or any of them, at any time
prior to the applicable Survival Date, give the indemnifying parties (a) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the 

  

 25 

 
nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known or (b) written notice pursuant to Section 7.3 of any Third Party Claim, the
existence of which might give rise to such a claim. Upon the giving of such written notice as aforesaid, the indemnified parties, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings before or subsequent to the Survival Date for the
enforcement of their rights under Section 7.1. 
  
 7.3 Notice
and Defense of Third Party Claims. The obligations and Liabilities of an indemnifying party with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of Liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below. 
  
 (a) The
indemnified parties shall promptly give written notice to the indemnifying parties of any Third Party Claim which might give rise to any Loss by the indemnified parties, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof
to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the indemnified parties in notifying any indemnifying parties shall relieve the indemnifying parties from any Liability or obligation hereunder unless notice is not given in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 or (and then solely to the extent) the indemnifying party thereby is prejudiced by the delay. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party
Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument. 
  
 (b) If the indemnifying parties shall acknowledge in a writing delivered to the indemnified parties that the
indemnifying parties shall be obligated under the terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with such Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying parties shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at
their own expense and by their own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties; provided, however, that the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim,
notwithstanding the giving of such written acknowledgment, if (i) the claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief, (ii) the indemnified parties shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses
available to them which are different from, or in addition to, those available to the indemnifying parties, and, in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified parties, counsel for the indemnifying parties could not adequately represent the interests
of the indemnified parties because such interests could be in conflict with those of the indemnifying parties, (iii) such action or proceeding involves, or could have a material effect on, any material matter beyond the scope of the indemnification
obligation of the indemnifying parties or (iv) the indemnifying parties shall not have assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in a timely fashion. 
  
 (c) If the indemnifying parties shall assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (under circumstances in which the proviso to the first
sentence of Section 7.3(b) is not applicable), the indemnifying parties shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by the indemnified parties in connection with the defense thereof. If the indemnifying
parties do not exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim by giving the written acknowledgement referred to in Section 7.3(b), or are otherwise restricted from so assuming by the proviso to the first sentence of Section
7.3(b), the indemnifying parties shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in such defense with their own counsel and at their own expense; and in any such case, the indemnified parties may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, 

  

 26 

 
with counsel which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying parties, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with their good faith business
judgment and shall not effect any settlement without the consent of the indemnifying parties, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. 
  
 (d) If the indemnifying parties exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, they shall not make any settlement of
any claims without the written consent of the indemnified parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 7.4 Loss Defined. As used herein, “Losses” means any loss (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Common Shares and
non-cash losses or reductions in value), Liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, Tax (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such indemnity payments), penalty, fine, assessments, Tax deficiencies or expense,
whether or not arising out of any claims by or on behalf of the Company or any other party, including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses and all amounts paid in
investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing which any such party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of any indemnifiable event or condition under this
Article 7; provided, however, that the term “Losses” shall not (except as expressly provided otherwise) include any punitive or consequential damages to which an indemnitee might otherwise be entitled (but shall include punitive and
consequential damages that may be sought from an indemnitee by a third party which is not an Affiliate of such indemnitee). 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
 MISCELLANEOUS

  
 8.1 Fees. 
  
 (a) The Corporation agrees that it will pay, and will save

 8.2 Further Assurances. The Company and the Investors shall each duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, at
its/his/her own cost and expense, such further instruments and documents and take all such action, in each case as may be necessary or proper to carry out the provisions and purposes of the Agreement and the other Documents. 
  

 27 

 8.3 Remedies. In case any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants and/or
agreements set forth in this Agreement shall have been breached, the other parties may proceed to protect and enforce its or their rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including an action for damages as a result of any such
breach and/or an action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. 
  
 8.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns,

 8.7 Changes. The terms and provisions of this Agreement
may not be modified or amended, nor may any of the provisions hereof be waived, temporarily or permanently, except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Corporation and each Investor. 
  
 8.8 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Facsimile counterpart. signatures to this Agreement shall be
acceptable at the Closing. 
  
 8.9 Headings. The headings
of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement. 
  
 8.10 Rules of Construction. In this Agreement, the term “Knowledge” (i) when used with regard to the Corporation means the actual
knowledge of James W. Cabela, Richard N. Cabela, Dennis Highby, David Roehr and/or Ralph Castner and the knowledge which James W. Cabela, Richard N. Cabela, Dennis Highby, David Roehr and/or Ralph Castner should reasonably be expected to have in
connection with the exercise of their customary duties and (ii) when used with regard to Stephen P. Murray or Michael McCarthy means the actual knowledge of such Person; provided that such Person shall only have actual knowledge of any particular
matter if he has been provided with information reasonably sufficient to assess and/or determine the Liability or ramifications that could reasonably be expected to result from, arise out of or be caused by such matter. The use in this Agreement of
the term “including” means “including, without limitation”. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the schedules and
exhibits, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. All references to sections, schedules and
exhibits mean the sections of this Agreement and the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The title of 

  

 29 

 
and the section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern or affect the interpretation of any of
the terms or provisions of this Agreement. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may require. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general
statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The language used in this Agreement has been chosen by the parties to
express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. 
  
 8.11 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
  
 (a) All questions concerning the construction, interpretation and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether in the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Law of the State of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice
of Law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply. 
  
 (b) The jurisdiction and venue in any action brought by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall lie exclusively in any federal
or state court located in the City of Omaha, Nebraska. The parties further agree that such exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie exclusively with such federal courts if federal rules of jurisdiction permit such federal court to hear such
action. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for himself, herself or itself and in respect of his, her or its property with respect to such action. The parties irrevocably
agree that venue would be proper in any such court, and hereby waive any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such action. The parties further agree that the mailing by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, of any process required by any such court shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court. The parties agree
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. 
  
 (c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE
APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, THE PARTIES WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO. 
  
 8.12
No Third Party Beneficiaries. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the representations and warranties, covenants and other agreements of any 

  

 30 

 
party to this Agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Documents (a) are being given by such party as an inducement to each of the other parties
hereto to enter into this Agreement and the other Documents (and the parties hereto acknowledge that each of the other parties hereto have expressly relied thereon) and (b) are solely for the benefit of each of the other parties hereto. Accordingly,
no third party (including, without limitation, any holder of capital stock of the Corporation or any employee) or anyone acting on behalf of any thereof other than the parties hereto, their representatives and the Investor Indemnitees, and each of
them, shall be a third party or other beneficiary of such representations and warranties and no such third party shall have any rights or remedies with respect to such representations and warranties, covenants and other agreements or any matter
subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise. 
  
 8.13 Acknowledgment. The Corporation acknowledges that it is benefiting from the recapitalization and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Documents. In connection therewith, the
Corporation is willing, and has determined that it is in its best interest, to make the representations and warranties contained herein and to indemnify the Investors in connection therewith in order to induce the Investors to purchase the Common
Shares from the Corporation under this Agreement and to enter into the other Documents. 
  
 8.14 Consent to Transaction and Waiver of Rights under Stockholders Agreement. Each of the Investors hereby consents to, and waives any rights such Investor has under Articles 4 and 5 of the Original
Stockholders Agreement and/or Articles 4 and 5 of the Stockholders Agreement relating to or in connection with, the issuance and sale of the Common Shares by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the purchase of the
shares of Class A Common Stock from James W. Cabela, Eagle Foundation, a Nebraska nonprofit corporation, Richard N. Cabela, Mary A. Cabela, the Mary A. Cabela Irrevocable Annuity Trust dated December 30, 1999, the M. A. Cabela 2002 Irrevocable
Annuity Trust dated May 8, 2002, and Cabela Family Foundation, a Nebraska nonprofit corporation in accordance with the terms of the Stock Redemption Agreement. 
  

8.15 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or
other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions
contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party, and any such waiver shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by the other party. 
  
 8.16
Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable
in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  

 31 

 8.17 Independence of Covenants and Representations and Warrants. All covenants hereunder shall be
given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another covenant shall not affect the occurrence of such default, unless
expressly permitted under an exception to such initial covenant. In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached,
the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a representation and warranty hereunder. The exhibits and schedules
attached hereto and the Company Disclosure Schedule are hereby made part of this Agreement in all respects.
