	6.	STOCK OPTIONS — TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

  
 All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by Agreements which shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Plan, and such other
provisions as the Committee may adopt, including the following provisions: 
  
 (a) Exercise Price: The Exercise Price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of Award. 
  
 (b) Period: The Committee shall establish the term of
any Option awarded under the Plan; provided, however, that an Option shall expire no later than ten (10) years from the date of Award. 
  
 (c) Time of Exercise: Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 below, the Committee may establish installment exercise terms in
Awards to Participants pursuant to which Options will become exercisable immediately upon date of grant or in up to ten (10) annual installments. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose further restrictions on the exercisability of the Options
not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and the Code. 
  
 (d) Exercise: An Option, or portion thereof, shall be exercised by delivery of a written Notice of Exercise to the Company and payment of the full price of the shares being exercised. Payment may be made: (i)
in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) through the delivery of shares of Common Stock which have been held by a Participant for at least six months with a Fair Market
Value equal to the Option Price, or (iii) by a combination of both (i) and (ii) above. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering Common Stock as payment upon exercise of an Option and may impose such limitations and prohibitions
on the use of Common Stock to exercise an Option as it deems appropriate. A Participant shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Stock until such time as shares of Common Stock are issued or transferred to the
Participant. On the date specified in the Notice of Exercise, or an Adjourned Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participant exercising such Option a certificate(s) for the number of shares of Common Stock with respect
to which the Option is being exercised, against payment therefor. Delivery of such certificate(s) may be made at the principal office of the Company or at the office of a transfer agent appointed by the Company. In the event of a failure to take up
and pay for the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Notice of Exercise on the date specified therein, or an Adjourned Date, the Option shall become inoperative as to such number of shares, but shall continue with respect to any
remaining shares covered by the Option, if such Option remains exercisable. If any law or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other relevant body having jurisdiction, shall require the Company or the Participant to take
any action in connection with the exercise of any Option, then the date specified in the Notice of Exercise for delivery of 

  

 - 5 - 

 
the certificate(s) shall be adjourned until the completion of the necessary action (“Adjourned Date”). 
  
 (e) Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options:
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the case of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan, the following provisions will apply: 
  
 (i) To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the shares of stock with respect to
which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant under the Plan or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or any corporation which is a parent corporation (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) of the
Company, in any calendar year, exceeds $100,000 (or such other individual employee maximum as may be in effect from time to time under the Code at the time the Incentive Stock Option is awarded) such options shall be deemed to be Nonqualified Stock
Options. 
  
 (ii) Any Participant who disposes of
shares of Common Stock acquired on the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by sale or exchange either (A) within two years after the date of the grant of the Option under which the stock was acquired or (B) within one year after the acquisition of
such shares shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition. 
  
 (f) Special Rules for Grants to Non-Employee Directors: Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, all Options granted to
Non-Employee Directors shall be Nonqualified Stock Options. 
  
 (g) Proceeds on Exercise: The proceeds of the sale of the Common Stock subject to Options are to be added to the general funds of the Company and used for its corporate purposes. 
  
 (h) Stock Restriction Agreement: At the option of the
Committee, Options may be granted subject to a requirement that all Common Stock issued to a Participant upon exercise of such Options shall be subject to the terms of a Stock Restriction Agreement between the Company and the Participant containing
restrictions against transfer and provisions for a mandatory purchase and sale of the Common Stock held by the Participant in the event that the Participant is no longer employed by the Company or no longer serves as a Director of the Company. The
purchase price under such mandatory purchase and sale shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the time of termination of employment or directorship. Such Stock Restriction Agreement shall terminate upon events prescribed by the
Committee which shall include consummation of an initial public offering of the Common Stock. 
  
 (i) Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreements: At the option of the Committee, Options may be granted subject to a requirement
that the Participant shall have entered into a Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreement with Company in form and substance deemed appropriate by the Committee.

	7.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 

  
 (a) In the event a Participant (other than a Non-Employee Director) shall cease to be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary while he
is holding one or more Options, each outstanding Option, or any portion thereof, which is exercisable on the date of such termination shall expire at the earlier of the expiration of its term or the following: 
  
 (i) three months after termination for any reason other than
death or permanent disability; 
  
 (ii) one year
after termination due to disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code as determined by the Committee; or

Option remains exercisable, the Committee in its discretion may provide for an extension of the exercise period of up to one year after the Participant’s death but not beyond the expiration of the term of the Option. 
  
 (b) For the purposes of this Section, it shall not be
considered a termination of employment when a Participant is placed by the Company or any Subsidiary on a military or sick leave or such other type of leave of absence which is considered as continuing intact the employment relationship of the
Participant under applicable provisions of the Code. In the case of such leave of absence the employment relationship shall be continued until the later of the date when such leave equals ninety (90) days or the date when the Participant’s
right to reemployment with the Company or such Subsidiary shall no longer be guaranteed either by statute or contract. 
  
 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any portion of an Option held by a Participant (other than a Non-Employee Director) that is not exercisable
on the date such Participant’s employment terminates shall expire as of such termination date. 
  

	8.	TERMINATION OF SERVICE AS DIRECTOR

 (i) one year after termination of service due to retirement under a mandatory retirement policy of the Board as may be in effect on the
date of such termination of service; 
  
 (ii) one
year after termination of service due to disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code;

serve as a Director of the Company shall terminate as of such date. 
  

	9.	ADJUSTMENTS 

  
 In the event that the Company shall effect a stock dividend, stock split or other subdivision, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation or
change in the shares of Common Stock, spin-off or other similar event which affects the Common Stock, then, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 hereof, the Committee shall make such adjustment in the number or kind of shares which may be
awarded under the Plan or in the number or kind of shares covered by any outstanding Options, and/or in such Option’s Exercise Price, as shall equitably be required to maintain rights of Participants under Options held by them.

 (a) Vesting and Payment: Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10(b) below, in the event of a Change in Control, each Option
(including an Option held by a Non-Employee Director) whether or not currently exercisable shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Common Stock immediately resold to the Company at the Change in Control Price with the result that the Option
shall be canceled and Company shall make cash payments to the Participants in an amount equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price over the Exercise Price for each such Option. 
  
 (b) Alternative Awards: Notwithstanding Paragraph 10(a), no cancellation and cash settlement shall
occur with respect to any Award or class of Awards if the Committee reasonably determines in good faith prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control that such Award or class of Awards shall be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted therefor
(such honored, assumed or substituted award hereinafter called an “Alternative Award”) by a Participant’s employer (or the parent or a subsidiary of such employer) immediately following the Change in Control, provided that any such
Alternative Award must: 
  
 (i) be based on stock
which is traded on an established securities market, or which will be so traded within 60 days following the Change in Control; 
  
 (ii) provide such Participant (or each Participant in a class of Participants) with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or
better than the rights and entitlements applicable under such Award; 
  
 (iii) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award(determined by the Committee as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control, in its sole discretion, promptly after a Change in Control); and

  
 (iv) have terms and conditions which provide
that following a Change in Control, any conditions on a Participant’s rights under, or any restrictions or conditions on transfer or exercisability applicable to each such Award, shall be waived or lapse as the case may be.

 (a) The Board, without further approval of the Stockholders, may at any time, and from time to time, suspend or terminate the Plan in
whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem appropriate and in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made, without approval of the Stockholders, which would:

suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without the Participant’s consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to her or him under the Plan.

cited above, in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Stock Options meeting the requirements of the Code and any future amendments or issued regulations, if any, to the Code. 
  

	12.	UNFUNDED PLAN 

  
 The Plan, insofar as it provides for payments, shall be unfunded and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be
subject to Awards under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any Award under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by Agreements reflecting grants or Awards under this
Plan. 
  

	13.	MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

  
 (a) Rights to Continued Employment: No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan, and the grant of
an Award under the Plan shall not be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and the Company expressly reserves the 

  

 - 9 - 

 
right at any time to dismiss a Participant with or without cause, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in an
Agreement. 
  
 (b) Rights to Serve as a
Director: This Plan shall not impose any obligation on the Company to retain any individual as a Non-Employee Director nor shall it impose any obligation on the part of any Non-Employee Director to remain as a director of the Company, provided
that each Non-Employee Director by accepting each award under the Plan shall represent to the Company that it is his or her good faith intention to continue to serve as a director of the Company until its next annual meeting of stockholders and that
he or she agrees to do so unless a change in circumstances arises. 
  
 (c) No Obligation to Exercise Option: The granting of an Option shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise such Option. 
  
 (d) Who Shall Exercise: During a Participant’s lifetime, Options may be exercised only by the
Participant except as provided by the Plan or as otherwise specified by the Committee in the case of Options which are not Incentive Stock Options. 
  
 (e) Non-Transferability: Except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, no right or interest of any Participant in the
Plan or in any Award shall be assignable or transferable and no right or interest of any Participant shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant. 
  
 (f) Withholding Taxes: With respect to Nonqualified
Stock Options, the Company may require a payment to cover applicable withholding for income and employment taxes in the event of the exercise of a Stock Option. At any time when a Participant is required to pay to the Company an amount required to
be withheld under applicable income tax laws in connection with the exercise of a Stock Option, the Participant may satisfy this obligation in whole or in part by electing (the “Election”) to have the Company withhold shares of Common
Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The value of the shares to be withheld shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, as determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined
(the “Tax Date”). Each Election must be made prior to the Tax Date pursuant to such rules as the Committee shall establish. The Committee may disapprove of any Election or may suspend or terminate the right to make Elections. An Election
is irrevocable. 
  
 (g) Plan Expenses: Any
expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company. 
  
 (h) Legal Considerations: The granting of Stock Options under the Plan and the obligation of the Company to issue, or transfer and deliver shares for Stock Options exercised under the Plan shall be subject to
all applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders which shall then be in effect. The Company shall not be required to issue shares of Common Stock under the Plan until all applicable legal, listing or registration requirements, as determined by
legal counsel, have been satisfied, including, if necessary, appropriate written representations from Participants. 
  

 - 10 - 

 (i) Plans: Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company from establishing
other incentive and benefit plans in which Participants in the Plan may also participate. 
  
 (j) No Warranty of Tax Effect: Except as may be contained in any Agreement, no opinion shall be deemed to be expressed or
warranties made as to the effect for foreign, federal, state or local tax purposes of any Awards. 
  
 (k) Construction of Plan: The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and of its rules and
regulations, and rights relating to the Plan, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska. 
  

	14.	STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AND EFFECTIVE DATES 

  
 This Plan shall become operative and in effect on such date as it shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company. No Option shall be granted
hereunder after the expiration of ten years following the date of approval of the Plan by the Stockholders. 
  
 Adopted and Approved by Stockholders of Cabela’s Incorporated on January 24, 1997.
