          B. On the date hereof, Thor is lending to The Stephen Adams Living Trust, Stephen Adams and Marcus Lemonis (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the principal amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Borrowers and Thor, the proceeds of which the Borrowers have agreed to loan to ITM Holding Company #2, LLC, which will then be contributed as equity to FreedomRoads (the “Third Loan”).

     1. Amendment of Termination Provisions. Section 2.2(c) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such subsection in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
          “(c) By Thor or FreedomRoads, at any time on or after December 22, 2029 by providing written notice to the other party.”

     2. Amendment of Audit and Inspection Provisions. Section 4.1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following language at the end of such section:
          “In the event Thor elects to conduct an audit of such books and records and makes a determination, based on the results of such audit, that a material breach of this Agreement has occurred, then the FR Entities, on a joint and several basis, shall reimburse Thor for Thor’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such audit.”
     3. Amendment of Reports Provisions. Section 4.2 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following language at the end of such section:
          Each such report shall be accompanied by a compliance certificate executed by the Chief Financial Officer of FreedomRoads, pursuant to which such officer shall certify as to the accuracy of such report and the compliance by the FR Entities with the provisions of this Agreement.”
     4. The Original Agreement is hereby amended by inserting new Section 6.12 and Section 6.13 as follows:
          “Section 6.12 Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that Thor could be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, Thor will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement, and its provisions in any action or proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties hereto and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which Thor may be entitled, at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, the rights, obligations and remedies created by this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, obligations or remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing herein will be considered an election of remedies.
          Section 6.13 Blue-Penciling. It is expressly understood and agreed that although the parties hereto consider the duration of the exclusivity period set forth in this Agreement to be reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against any of the parties hereto, the provisions thereof shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.”
     5. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly amended, modified or waived by this Amendment, all of the terms, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions of the Original Agreement shall remain unmodified and unwaived by the terms of this Amendment, and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, and are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects. This Amendment shall not constitute any

party’s consent or indicate its willingness to consent to any other amendment, modification or waiver of the Original Agreement or any instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein.
     6. Miscellaneous. The provisions of Article VI (“Miscellaneous”) of the Original Agreement shall apply to this Amendment as if such provisions were set out herein in full and as if each reference therein to “this Agreement” included a reference to this Amendment.
