SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE    
    

	 
	 	 
	 	 

	$1,000,000.00	 	Fort Worth, Texas	 	October 3, 2003

        FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, American IronHorse Motorcycle Company, Inc. ("Maker"), with its principal offices located at 4600 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, Texas 76106
promises to pay to the order of Xponential, Inc. ("Payee") at 2175 Old Concord Road SE, Suite 200, Smyrna, Georgia 30080 the sum of ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) or, if
different, such amount of advances hereunder as may be due and owing, in legal and lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest thereon from the date hereof until maturity at
the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. All past due principal and interest shall bear interest at fourteen percent (14%) per annum. 

        No
provision of this note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate which Maker may stipulate and agree to pay as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction. If it is so determined that any excess interest is provided for herein, Maker shall not be obligated to pay the amount of interest to the extent that it is in excess
of the amount permitted by law, and any excess interest paid shall be credited as a payment on the principal balance or, if applicable, refunded to Maker. 

        Unless
maturity is accelerated as provided below, this note is payable as follows: 

        Interest
only is payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2003 until maturity on September 30, 2004, when the entire principal and accrued interest is due. 

        The
indebtedness and all obligations evidenced by this note are secured by a security interest in the "collateral" as that term is defined in that certain Security Agreement dated of
even date herewith with Maker as debtor and Payee as secured party, and Payee shall have all rights with respect to the collateral as provided in the Texas Uniform Commercial Code. 

        All
payments received on this note shall be credited first to the discharge of the interest accrued and the balance to the reduction of principal. 

        Maker
hereof reserves the right to prepay, prior to maturity, all or any part of the principal of this note, and interest shall immediately cease on any amount so prepaid. Any prepayment
is to be applied toward the payment of the principal installments last maturing upon this note, that is, in the inverse order of maturity and without reducing the amount or time of payment of the
remaining obligatory installments. 

        This
note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and all applicable federal laws. 

        It
is expressly agreed that upon default in the punctual payment of this note or any part thereof, principal or interest, as the same shall become due and payable, the entire
indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be matured, at the option of the holder hereof. 

        In
the event this note, or any part hereof, is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through probate, bankruptcy, or other judicial proceedings (including any
proceedings, state or federal, for the relief of debtors), Maker agrees to pay to the holder hereof a reasonable attorney's fee. 

        Maker
and any sureties and endorsers of this note expressly waive all notices, demands for payment, presentations for payment, notices of acceleration and of intention to accelerate the
maturity, protest and notice of protest, as to this note, and as to each, every and all installments hereof, and each consents that Payee or any other holder of this note may at any time, and from
time to time, upon request of or by agreement with Maker, extend the date of maturity hereof or change the time or 

 

method
of payments without notice to any of the sureties or endorsers, who shall remain bound for the payment hereof.

        THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD,
MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR
OTHER EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. 

 
 

WARRANT NO. 2003-1    
    

To
Purchase Shares of Common Stock of

American IronHorse Motorcycle Company, Inc.

Incorporated Under the Laws of the State of Texas 

        1.    Basic Terms.    This certifies that, for value received, Xponential, Inc. ("Holder"), is entitled,
subject to the terms and conditions of this warrant (the "Warrant"), to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of American IronHorse Motorcycle
Company, Inc. (the "Company"), subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant, from the Company at the Exercise Price (as defined below) on delivery of this Warrant to the Company with the
exercise form duly executed and payment of the Exercise Price, in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company, for all shares of Common Stock purchased. 

        2.    Exercise Price.    The purchase price per share of Common Stock (the "Exercise Price") shall be Fifteen and
No/100 Dollars ($15.00) per share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. 

        3.    Exercise.    

        (a)   This
Warrant may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, but not for less than 1,000 shares of Common Stock at a time (or such lesser number
of shares of Common Stock which may then constitute the maximum number purchasable, such number being subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant) on or after the date of issuance until
September 30, 2010 (the "Expiration Date"). Such exercise may occur on any day that is a business day, unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. 

        (b)   In
order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office at 4600 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, Texas 76106, or
at such other office as shall be designated by the Company pursuant to this Warrant, (i) a written notice of Holder's election to exercise this Warrant which notice shall specify the number of
shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise, (ii) either cash or a check payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for all
shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise, and (iii) this Warrant, properly endorsed. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any
event within five (5) days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be registered in the name of Holder, or such other name as shall be designated in said notice. 

        (c)   This
Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person designated
in the notice of exercise shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock for all purposes, as of the date said notice, together with said payment and this Warrant, is
received by the Company. Holder shall not, solely by virtue of Holder's ownership of this Warrant, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or in equity; provided,
however, Holder shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company in accordance with
the immediately preceding sentence. If the exercise is for less than all of the shares of Common Stock issuable as 

 

provided
in this Warrant, the Company will issue a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of such shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder to Holder. Holder, by Holder's acceptance
hereof, consents to and agrees to be bound by and to comply with all of the provisions of this Warrant. 

        4.    Transfer.    This Warrant and all options and rights hereunder are transferable, as to all or any part of the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its exercise, by Holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney on the books of the Company upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal offices
of the Company, together with the form of transfer authorization attached hereto duly executed, provided that such transfer complies with all applicable securities laws. The Company shall deem and
treat the registered Holder of this Warrant at any time as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. If this Warrant is transferred in part,
the Company shall at the time of surrender of this Warrant issue to the transferee a Warrant covering the number of shares of Common Stock transferred and to the transferor a Warrant covering the
number of shares not transferred. 

        5.    Adjustment of Shares.    

        (a)   In
the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date hereof fix a record date for the split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock to receive dividends or other distributions payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or
entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional
shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents, then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Exercise Price
of this Warrant shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase or potential
increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

        (b)   If
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
following the record date of such combination, the Exercise Price for this Warrant shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common stock issuable on exercise hereof shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. 

        (c)   If
there is a capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with any other corporation or
entity, or if there is a sale or distribution of all or substantially all of the Company's property and assets, the Company shall make adequate provision so that there shall remain and be substituted
under this Warrant with respect to each share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant the stock, securities and/or assets which would have been issuable or payable in respect of or in exchange for such
issuable shares if Holder had been the owner of such share on the applicable record date. All other provisions of this Warrant shall remain in full force and effect. 

        (d)   On
the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price or the shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall immediately give written notice to
Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number and kind of securities or other property purchasable hereunder resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable detail the
method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based. 

        6.    Certain Notices.    In case at any time the Company shall propose to: 

        (a)   declare
any cash dividend upon the Common Stock; 

        (b)   declare
any dividend upon the Common Stock payable in stock or make any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of the Common Stock; 

2

 

        (c)   reorganize,
or reclassify the capital stock of the Company, or consolidate, merge or otherwise combine with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation or entity; or 

        (d)   voluntarily
or involuntarily dissolve, liquidate or wind up the affairs of the Company; 

then,
in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give to Holder, by certified mail, (i) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the
Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, at least twenty
(20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice required by clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend or distribution, the
date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and any notice required by clause (ii) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up, as the case
may be. 

        7.    Notice.    Any notice required or permitted in this Warrant shall be in writing and may be delivered personally
to the party being given notice or to the person in charge of the office of the party being given notice or by facsimile, national overnight courier service or by mail, at the party's address

        Subject
to the terms of this agreement, Debtor grants to Secured Party a security interest in the collateral and all its proceeds to secure payment and performance of Debtor's
obligations in this security agreement and all renewals and extensions of any of the obligations. 

Debtor's Warranties  

        1.    Financing Statement.    Except for those in favor of Textron Financial Corporation, Donald G. Wilson and Secured
Party, no financing statement covering the collateral is filed in any public office. 

        2.    Ownership.    Debtor owns the collateral and has the authority to grant this security interest. Ownership is
free from any setoff, claim, restriction, lien, security interest, or encumbrance except this security interest and liens for taxes not yet due. 

        3.    Fixtures and Accessions.    None of the collateral is affixed to real estate, is an accession to any goods, is
commingled with other goods, or will become a fixture, accession, or part of a product or mass with other goods except as expressly provided in this agreement. 

        4.    Financial Statements.    All information about Debtor's financial condition provided to Secured Party was
accurate when submitted, as will be any information subsequently provided. 

Debtor's Covenants  

        1.    Protection of Collateral.    Debtor will defend the collateral against all claims and demands adverse to Secured
Party's interest in it and will keep it free from all liens except those for taxes not yet due and from all security interests except this one, and those previously granted to Textron Financial
Corporation, Donald G. Wilson and to Secured Party. The collateral will remain in Debtor's possession or control at all times, except as otherwise provided in this agreement. Debtor will maintain the
collateral in good condition and protect it against misuse, abuse, waste, and deterioration except for ordinary wear and tear resulting from its intended use. 

        2.    Insurance.    Debtor will insure the collateral in accord with Secured Party's reasonable requirements regarding
choice of carrier, casualties insured against, and amount of coverage. Policies will be written in favor of Debtor and Secured Party according to their respective interests or according to Secured
Party's other requirements. All policies will provide that Secured Party will receive at least ten days' notice before cancellation, and the policies or certificates evidencing them will be provided
to Secured Party when issued. Debtor assumes all risk of loss and damage to the collateral to the extent of any deficiency in insurance coverage. Debtor irrevocably appoints Secured Party as
attorney-in-fact to collect any return, unearned premiums, and proceeds of any insurance on the collateral and to endorse any draft or check deriving from the policies and made
payable to Debtor. 

        3.    Secured Party's Costs.    Debtor will pay all expenses incurred by Secured Party in obtaining, preserving,
perfecting, defending, and enforcing this security interest or the collateral and in collecting or enforcing the note. Expenses for which Debtor is liable include, but are not limited to, taxes, 

2

 

assessments,
reasonable attorney's fees, and other legal expenses. These expenses will bear interest from the dates of payments at the highest rate stated in notes that are part of the obligations,
and Debtor will pay Secured Party this interest on demand at a time and place reasonably specified by Secured Party. These expenses and interest will be part of the obligations and will be recoverable
as such in all respects. 

        4.    Additional Documents.    Debtor will sign any papers that Secured Party considers necessary to obtain, maintain,
and perfect this security interest or to comply with any relevant law, and Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file a financing statement in the appropriate jurisdiction to perfect its
security interest in the collateral. 

        5.    Notice of Changes.    Debtor will immediately notify Secured Party of any material change in the collateral;
change in Debtor's name, address, or location; change in any matter warranted or represented in this agreement; change that may affect this security interest; and any event of default. 

        6.    Use and Removal of Collateral.    Debtor will use the collateral primarily according to the stated
classification unless Secured Party consents otherwise in writing. Debtor will not permit the collateral to be affixed to any real estate, to become an accession to any goods, to be commingled with
other goods, or to become a fixture, accession, or part of a product or mass with other goods except as expressly provided in this agreement. 

        7.    Sale.    Other than in the normal course of business, Debtor will not sell, transfer, or encumber any of the
collateral without the prior written consent of Secured Party. 

Rights and Remedies of Secured Party  

        1.    Generally.    Secured Party may exercise the following rights and remedies either before or after default: 

	a.
	take control of any proceeds of the collateral;

	b.
	release any collateral in Secured Party's possession to any debtor, temporarily or otherwise;

	c.
	take control of any funds generated by the collateral, such as refunds from and proceeds of insurance, and reduce the obligations as
provided under "Remedies of Secured Party on Default" below, or permit Debtor to use such funds to repair or replace damaged or destroyed collateral covered by insurance; and

	d.
	demand, collect, convert, redeem, settle, compromise, receipt for, realize on, sue for, and adjust the collateral either in Secured
Party's or Debtor's name, as Secured Party desires. 

        2.    Insurance.    If Debtor fails to maintain insurance as required by this agreement or otherwise by Secured Party,
then Secured Party may purchase single-interest insurance coverage that will protect only Secured Party. If Secured Party purchases this insurance, its premiums will become part of the obligations. 

Events of Default  

        Each of the following conditions is an event of default: 

        1.     if Debtor defaults in timely payment or performance of any obligations, covenant, or liability in any written agreement
between Debtor and Secured Party or in any other transaction secured by this agreement; 

        2.     if any warranty, covenant, or representation made to Secured Party by or on behalf of Debtor proves to have been false in
any material respect when made; 

3

 

        3.     if a receiver is appointed for Debtor or any of the collateral; 

        4.     if the collateral is assigned for the benefit of creditors or, to the extent permitted by law, if bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings commence against or by any of these parties: Debtor; any partnership of which Debtor is a general partner; and any maker, drawer, acceptor, endorser, guarantor, surety, accommodation
party, or other person liable on or for any part of the obligations; and 

        5.     if any of the collateral is lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, unless it is promptly replaced with collateral of like
quality or restored to its former condition. 

Remedies of Secured Party on Default  

        During the existence of any event of default, Secured Party may declare the unpaid principal and earned interest of the obligations immediately due in whole or
part, enforce the obligations, and exercise any rights and remedies granted by chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code or by this agreement, including the following: 

        1.     require Debtor to deliver to Secured Party all books and records relating to the collateral; 

        2.     require Debtor to assemble the collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place reasonably convenient to both
parties; 

        3.     take possession of any of the collateral and for this purpose enter any premises where it is located if this can be done
without breach of the peace; 

        4.     sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any of the collateral in accord with the rights, remedies, and duties of a secured
party under chapters 2 and 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code after giving notice as required by those chapters; unless the collateral threatens to decline speedily in value, is perishable, or
would typically be sold on a recognized market, Secured Party will give Debtor reasonable notice of any public sale of the collateral or of a time after which it may be otherwise disposed of without
further notice to Debtor; in this event, notice will be deemed reasonable if it is mailed, postage prepaid, to Debtor at the address specified in this agreement at least ten days before any public
sale or ten days before the time when the collateral may be otherwise disposed of without further notice to Debtor; 

        5.     surrender any insurance policies covering the collateral and receive the unearned premium; 

        6.     apply any proceeds from disposition of the collateral to the obligations as herein provided after default in the manner
specified in chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, including payment of Secured Party's reasonable attorney's fees and court expenses; 

        7.     if disposition of the collateral leaves the obligations unsatisfied, collect the deficiency from Debtor; and 

        8.     Secured Party agrees to apply the proceeds from disposition of the collateral to each of the obligations on a  pari passu basis among
each of the three promissory notes which constitute the "obligations" of Debtor hereunder, regardless of the then outstanding
principal balance of such promissory notes. 

The Agent  

        1.    Appointment and Authorization.    Each of Xponential, Inc., Investors Strategic Partners I, Ltd.
and Curtiswood Capital, LLC hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Dwayne A. Moyers as its "Agent" to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Security Agreement as
are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

4

 

        2.    Agent's Reliance.    Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by him under or in
connection with the obligations except for his own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Agent may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by him and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by Agent in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

        3.    Documents.    Agent shall not be under any duty to examine or pass upon the validity, effectiveness,
enforceability, genuineness or value of any instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective,
enforceable and genuine and what they purport to be. 

        4.    Indemnification.    Each of Xponential, Inc., Investors Strategic Partners I, Ltd. and Curtiswood
Capital, LLC agrees to indemnify Agent, in proportion to the principal amount of the obligations issued to them by the Company, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of the obligations or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Security Agreement, provided that none of Xponential, Inc., Investors Strategic Partners I, Ltd. and
Curtiswood Capital, LLC shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, Xponential, Inc., Investors Strategic Partners I, Ltd. and Curtiswood Capital, LLC agree to
reimburse Agent in proportion to the principal amount of the obligations issued to them by the Company for any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal
fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the obligations
or this Security Agreement. 

General Provisions  

        1.    Parties Bound.    Secured Party's rights under this agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors and
assigns. Assignment of any part of the obligations and delivery by Secured Party of any part of the collateral will fully discharge Secured Party from responsibility for that part of the collateral.
Debtor's obligations under this agreement shall bind Debtor's personal representatives, successors, and assigns. 

        2.    Waiver.    Neither delay in exercise nor partial exercise of any of Secured Party's remedies or rights shall
waive further exercise of those remedies or rights. Secured Party's failure to exercise remedies or rights does not waive subsequent exercise of those remedies or rights. Secured Party's waiver of any
default does not waive further default. Secured Party's waiver of any right in this agreement or of any default is binding only if it is in writing. Secured Party may remedy any default without
waiving it. 

        3.    Reimbursement.    If Debtor fails to perform any of Debtor's obligations, Secured Party may perform those
obligations and be, reimbursed by Debtor on demand at the place where the note is payable for any sums so paid, including attorney's fees and other legal expenses, plus interest on those sums from the
dates of payment at the rate stated in the note for matured, unpaid amounts. The sum to be reimbursed shall be secured by this security agreement. 

        4.    Interest Rate.    Interest included in the obligations shall not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious
interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law; any interest in excess of that maximum amount shall be credited to the principal of the obligations or, if that
has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment of the obligations, any such excess shall be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if 

5

 

already
paid, credited on the principal amount of the obligations or, if the principal amount has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides other provisions in this and all other instruments
concerning the obligations. 

        5.    Modifications.    No provisions of this agreement shall be modified or limited except by written agreement. 

        6.    Severability.    The unenforceability of any provision of this agreement will not affect the enforceability or
validity of any other provision. 

        7.    Applicable Law.    This agreement will be construed according to Texas laws. 

        8.    Place of Performance.    This agreement is to be performed in Tarrant County, Texas. 

        9.    Financing Statement.    A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this agreement or any financing
statement covering the collateral is sufficient as a financing statement. 

        10.    Presumption of Truth and Validity.    If the collateral is sold after default, recitals in the bill of sale or
transfer will be prima facie evidence of their truth, and all prerequisites to the sale specified by this agreement and by chapter 9 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code will be presumed satisfied. 

        11.    Singular and Plural.    When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural. 

        12.    Priority of Security Interest.    This security interest shall neither affect nor be affected by any other
security for any of the obligations. Neither extensions of any of the obligations nor releases of any of the collateral will affect the priority or validity of this security interest with reference to
any third person. 

        13.    Cumulative Remedies.    Foreclosure of this security interest by suit does not limit Secured Party's remedies,
including the right to sell the collateral under the terms of this agreement. All remedies of Secured Party may be exercised at the same or different times, and no remedy shall be a defense to any
other. Secured Party's rights and remedies include all those granted by law or otherwise, in addition to those specified in this agreement. 

        14.    Agency.    Debtor's appointment of Secured Party as Debtor's agent is coupled with an interest and will survive
any disability of Debtor.

        This Subordination Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into this 3rd day of October, 2003 among Xponential, Inc., Investors Strategic Partners

        WHEREAS,
Debtor desires to obtain loans, extensions of credit or other financial accommodations from Senior Creditor; and 

        WHEREAS,
Senior Creditor is unwilling to provide such financial accommodations to Debtor unless Junior Creditors, Agent and Debtor enter into this Agreement with Senior Creditor; 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other valuable consideration and the mutual covenants herein and to induce Senior Creditor to provide financial accommodations to or for the

        1.    Definitions. All terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the UCC
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the UCC unless otherwise expressly defined herein. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth after each
such term:

future
agreements, documents and/or instruments evidencing, documenting, securing or otherwise relating to any or all of the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Notes, all as the same may from time to
time be amended, modified, extended, renewed or restated. 

                "Junior Creditor Indebtedness" shall mean all of the present and future indebtedness (principal, interest
(including,
without limitation, interest accruing after the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Debtor), fees, collection costs and expenses and other amounts), liabilities and obligations of
Debtor to Junior Creditors evidenced by or arising under any one or more of the Junior Creditor Documents, all whether fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, and
whether arising under contract, in tort or otherwise. 

                "Junior Creditor Collateral" shall mean all of the property and assets of Debtor described on  Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and all cash and non-cash proceeds thereof. 

                "Senior Creditor Collateral" shall mean all of the property and assets of Debtor described on  Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference and all cash and non-cash proceeds thereof 

                "Senior Creditor Documents" shall mean that certain (a) Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement
among
Senior Creditor and Debtor, dated as of December 16, 2002 (the "Senior Loan Agreement") and (b) any and all present and future agreements, documents and/or instruments evidencing,
documenting, securing or otherwise relating to any or all of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness, all as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, extended, supplemented, renewed or restated. 

                "Senior Creditor Indebtedness" shall mean all of the present and future indebtedness (principal, interest
(including,
without limitation, interest accruing after the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Debtor), fees, collection costs and expenses and other amounts), liabilities and obligations
(including, without limitation, letter of credit reimbursement obligations) of Debtor to Senior Creditor (including, without limitation, all of the indebtedness evidenced by or arising 

 

under
any one or more of the Senior Creditor Documents), all whether fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether arising under contract, in tort or otherwise. 

                "Security Agreement" means that certain security agreement dated October 3, 2003 between Dwayne A. Moyers,
as agent
for Junior Creditors, as secured party, and Debtor, as debtor, covering the Junior Creditor Collateral, a true and correct copy of which is annexed hereto as  Exhibit C. 

                "Subordinated Notes" means those three certain Promissory Notes made by Debtor to the order of each Junior
Creditor each in
the principal amount of $1,000,000.00, a true and correct copy of each of which is annexed hereto as Exhibits D-1, D-2 and  D-3 and made a part hereof.

                "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from time to time in the State of Texas. 

        2.    Subordination. Subject to the provisions of  Paragraph 3 hereof, Junior Creditors hereby postpone and subordinate all of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness to the full and final payment and
discharge of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or
involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of Debtor or the proceeds thereof to creditors of Debtor or upon any indebtedness of Debtor by reason of the
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of Debtor or Debtor's business or in the event of any sale, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or assignment for the benefit of creditors or
any proceeding by or against Debtor for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws relating to the relief of Debtor's readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension,
then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any of
the Junior Creditor Indebtedness shall be payable and delivered directly to Senior Creditor for application for the Senior Creditor Indebtedness (whether or not the same is then due) until all of the
Senior Creditor Indebtedness has been fully paid and discharged. The Subordinated Notes shall at all times bear a conspicuous legend that the Junior Creditor Indebtedness evidenced thereby is
subordinated to the Senior Creditor Indebtedness pursuant to this Agreement. Debtor's and Junior Creditors' books shall be marked to evidence the subordination of all of the Junior Creditor
Indebtedness to Senior Creditor. Senior Creditor is authorized to examine such books from time to time and to make any notations required by this Agreement. The provisions of this  Paragraph 2 shall
remain effective and binding upon Junior Creditors, to the full extent of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness, even if any of the
Senior Creditor Indebtedness is avoided, equitably subordinated or nullified in any bankruptcy case. 

        3.    Permitted Payments. If and for so long as no Default or Event of Default
(as those terms are defined in the Senior Creditor Documents) exists at the time, or would result from the making of such payment, Debtor may pay to Junior Creditors, and Junior Creditors may accept
and retain, any regularly scheduled payments of interest only due and owing to Junior Creditors by Debtor under the Subordinated Notes in accordance with their present tenor.  Principal reduction payments or prepayments of
principal of any kind to Junior Creditors shall be allowed only if made from Permitted Recapitalization sources of Debtor as that
term is defined in "Definitions" Section of the Senior Creditor Documents and then subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.8 of the Senior Creditor Documents and where no Default or
Event of Default exists at the time or would result from making such payment.

        4.    No Third Party Beneficiaries. All undertakings, agreements,
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of Junior Creditors and Senior Creditor and there are no other parties (including, without limitation, Debtor) who
are intended to be benefited in any way by this Agreement. The existence of this Agreement shall not commit or obligate Junior Creditors or Senior Creditor to make loans or extend credit to Debtor. 

2

 

        5.    Priority of Security Interests. Irrespective of (a) the time, order
manner or method of creation, attachment or perfection of the respective security interests, and/or liens granted to Agent on behalf of Junior Creditors or Senior Creditor in or on any or all of the
property or assets of Debtor, (b) the time or manner of the filing of their respective financing statements, (c) whether Agent, Junior Creditors or Senior Creditor or any other bailee or
agent thereof holds possession of any or all of the property or assets of Debtor, (d) the dating, execution or delivery of any agreement, document or instrument granting Agent, Junior Creditors
or Senior Creditor security interests and/or liens in or on any or all of the property or assets of Debtor, (e) the giving or failure to give notice of the acquisition or expected acquisition
of any purchase money or other security interests and (f) any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law to the contrary, any and all security interests, liens, rights and interests of
Agent or Junior Creditors, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in or on any or all of the Senior Creditor Collateral shall be and hereby are subordinated to any and all security
interests, liens, rights and interests of Senior Creditor in and to the Senior Creditor Collateral. For purposes of the foregoing allocation of priorities, any claim of a right of setoff shall be
treated in all respects as a security interest and no claimed right of setoff shall be asserted to defeat or diminish the rights or priorities provided for herein. 

        6.    Standstill.

                (a)   Neither
Agent nor Junior Creditors shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Senior Creditor Collateral, including, without limitation,
judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, notification to Debtor's account debtors, the seeking of the appointment of a receiver for any portion of Debtor's property or assets or otherwise, or
to take possession of any of the Senior Creditor Collateral, unless and until all of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness shall have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash and all financing
arrangements and commitments by and between Debtor and Senior Creditor have been terminated. 

                (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Junior Creditor Documents: 

                        (1)   Until
Senior Creditor notifies Agent and Junior Creditors by certified mail, return receipt requested, that Senior Creditor has exercised its right to
declare that all obligations of Debtor due to Senior Creditor under any of the Senior Creditor Documents have become immediately due and payable as a result of a Default or an Event of Default under
the Senior Creditor Documents (the "Notice of Acceleration"), neither Agent nor Junior Creditors shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Junior Creditor Indebtedness, including,
without limitation, declaring an event of default, or accelerating the Junior Creditor Indebtedness; and 

                        (2)   Neither
Agent nor Junior Creditors shall have the right to institute any legal action or to otherwise attempt to enforce Junior Creditor's rights with
respect to the Junior Creditor Indebtedness until one hundred eighty (180) days after Junior Creditor's receipt of the Notice of Acceleration. 

        7.    Distribution of Senior Creditor Collateral. Agent and each Junior Creditor
agree that it will not ask for, demand, sue for, take or receive from Debtor or any successor or assign of Debtor, including, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor in possession, whether
by setoff or in any other manner, the whole or any part of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness from any of the Senior Creditor Collateral, unless and until all of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness shall
have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash and all of the financing arrangements and commitments by and between Debtor and Senior Creditor have been terminated. Agent and each Junior
Creditor acknowledge and agree that the terms and provisions of this Agreement do not violate any term or provision of any of the Junior Creditor Documents; and to the extent any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with any of the terms or provisions of the Junior Creditor Documents, the provisions of the Junior Creditor Documents shall be deemed to have been
superseded by this Agreement. 

3

 

        8.    Release of Senior Creditor Collateral. Agent and each Junior Creditor
agree that any collection, sale or other disposition of any or all of the Senior Creditor Collateral by Senior Creditor (whether pursuant to the UCC or otherwise) shall be free and clear of any and
all security interests, liens, claims and/or rights of Agent and Junior Creditors in such Senior Creditor Collateral. At the request of Senior Creditor, Agent and each Junior Creditor shall promptly
provide Senior Creditor with any necessary or appropriate releases to permit the collection, sale or other disposition of any or all of the Senior Creditor Collateral by Senior Creditor free and clear
of Agent's and Junior Creditors' security interests and liens. In addition, at the request of Senior Creditor, Agent and Junior Creditors shall promptly release any and all security interests, liens,
claims and/or rights which it may have on or in the applicable Senior Creditor Collateral to facilitate the collection, sale or other disposition of such Senior Creditor Collateral by Debtor so long
as the proceeds thereof are applied first to the payment of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness and any excess is then applied to the payment of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness to the extent the same is
secured by such Senior Creditor Collateral. 

        9.    Turnover of Senior Creditor Collateral Received by Agent and Junior
Creditors. In the event of any payment or distribution to Agent or Junior Creditors, or any of them, is made from any of the Senior Creditor Collateral upon or with respect to
any of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness prior to the time all of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness shall have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash and
all financing arrangements and commitments by and between Debtor and Senior Creditor shall have been terminated (other than voluntary payments by Debtor to Junior Creditors on the Junior Creditor
Indebtedness to the extent permitted under Paragraph 3 above), Agent and Junior Creditors shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee,
for the benefit of Senior Creditor and shall forthwith deliver the same to Senior Creditor in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of Agent or Junior Creditors where
necessary) for application against the Senior Creditor Indebtedness whether due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be in trust by Agent and Junior Creditors as the property of Senior
Creditor. 

        10.    Nonavoidability and Perfection. The subordinations and relative priority
arrangements set forth in this Agreement are applicable regardless of whether the security interest and/or lien to which another security interest and/or lien is subordinated is not perfected or is
voidable for any reason. 

        11.    Representations and Agreements of Agent, Junior Creditors and Debtor.
Agent, Junior Creditors, and each of them, and Debtor represent and warrant to, and covenant and agree with, Senior Creditor that: (a) as of the date hereof the outstanding principal balance of
the Junior Creditor Indebtedness as defined herein is $3,000,000.00; (b) Agent and Junior Creditors will provide Senior Creditor with written notice of the declaration by Agent and Junior
Creditors of any default or event of default under any of the Junior Creditor Documents; (c) Agent and Junior Creditors agree not to oppose, interfere with or otherwise attempt to prevent
Senior Creditor from enforcing its security interests in and/or liens on any of the Senior Creditor Collateral or otherwise realizing upon any of the Senior Creditor Collateral; (d) Agent,
Junior Creditors and Debtor shall not amend, alter or modify any provision of the Subordinated Notes and the Security Agreement without the prior written consent of Senior Creditor; (e) Agent
and Junior Creditors shall not commence or join with any other creditors of Debtor in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding against Debtor; and
(f) neither Debtor, Agent, nor any Junior Creditor otherwise shall take or permit any action prejudicial to, or inconsistent with, Senior Creditor's priority position over Agent and Junior
Creditors that is created by this Agreement. 

        12.    Insurance Proceeds. In the event of the occurrence of any casualty with
respect to any of the Senior Creditor Collateral, Agent, Junior Creditors and Senior Creditor agree that Senior Creditor shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust, compromise or settle any
such loss with the insurer thereof, and to collect and receive the proceeds from such insurer. Any proceeds of insurance in excess of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness and other secured indebtedness of
Debtor will be available for 

4

 

payment
of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness. Any insurer shall be fully protected if it acts in reliance on the provisions of this Paragraph 12. 

        13.    Waiver of Certain Rights. Agent and each Junior Creditor hereby waive any
and all rights to (a) require Senior Creditor to marshal any property or assets of Debtor or to resort to any of the property or assets of Debtor in any particular order or manner;
(b) require Senior Creditor to enforce any guaranty or any security interest or lien given by any person or entity other than Debtor to secure the payment of any or all of the Senior Creditor
Indebtedness as a condition precedent or concurrent
to taking any action against or with respect to the Senior Creditor Collateral; (c) commence any proceedings (whether through the filing of an involuntary petition against Debtor or otherwise)
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar laws for arrangement of debts of Debtor; and/or (d) bring any action to contest the validity, legality, enforceability,
perfection, priority or avoidability of any of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness, any of the Senior Creditor Documents or any of the security interests and/or liens of Senior Creditor in or on any of
the Senior Creditor Collateral. 

        14.    Bankruptcy Financing Issues. This Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect after the filing of any petition for relief by or against Debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code") and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof (all
references herein to the Debtor being deemed to apply to Debtor as debtor-in-possession and to a trustee for the Debtor), and shall apply with full force and effect with
respect to all Senior Creditor Collateral and Junior Creditor Collateral acquired by the Debtor, and to all Senior Creditor Indebtedness and Junior Creditor Indebtedness incurred by the Debtor,
subsequent to such filing. If Debtor shall become subject to a proceeding under the Code, and if Senior Creditor shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral by Debtor or to provide
post-petition financing from Senior Creditor to Debtor, Agent and each Junior Creditor agree as follows: (a) adequate notice to Agent and Junior Creditors shall be deemed to have
been provided for such use of cash collateral or such post-petition financing if Agent and Junior Creditors receive notice thereof at least three (3) business days prior to the
earlier of (i) any hearing on a request to approve such use of cash collateral or such post-petition financing or (ii) the date of entry of an order approving the same; and
(b) no objection will be raised by Agent or Junior Creditors to any such use of cash collateral or such post-petition financing from Senior Creditor on the grounds of a failure to
provide adequate protection for Agent's junior lien. No objection will be raised by Agent or Junior Creditors to Senior Creditor's motion for relief from the automatic stay in any such proceeding to
foreclose on, sell or otherwise realize upon the Senior Creditor Collateral. 

        15.    Assignment of Junior Creditor Indebtedness. Each Junior Creditor
represents and warrants to Senior Creditor that it has not previously assigned any interest in any of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness, that no other party owns an interest in any of the Junior
Creditor Indebtedness other than Junior Creditors (whether as joint holders of the Junior Creditor Indebtedness, as participants or otherwise) and that the entire Junior Creditor Indebtedness is owed
only to Junior Creditors. Each Junior Creditor covenants and agrees with Senior Creditor that the entire Junior Creditor Indebtedness shall continue to be owing only to Junior Creditors, unless such
indebtedness is assigned expressly subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, the assignee of such indebtedness agrees in writing to be bound by the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Agreement and Agent and Junior Creditors shall have delivered such executed assignment and assumption agreements to Senior Creditor. 

        16.    Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all of
the Senior Creditor Indebtedness shall have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash and all financing arrangements and commitments between Debtor and Senior Creditor shall have been
terminated. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by Senior Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, all as though such payment had 

5

 

not
been made. This is a continuing agreement of subordination and Senior Creditor may continue to extend credit or other financial accommodations and loan monies to or for the benefit of Debtor, on
the faith hereof, under the Senior Creditor Documents or otherwise without notice to Agent or Junior Creditors. 

        17.    Amendment of Senior Creditor Indebtedness; Release of Senior Creditor
Collateral. Senior Creditor may at any time and from time to time (a) enter into such agreements with Debtor as Senior Creditor may deem proper (i) increasing or
decreasing the principal amount of extending the time of payment of and/or renewing or otherwise amending or altering the terms (including, without limitation, the interest rates) of any or all of the
Senior Creditor Indebtedness and/or (ii) amending, modifying or otherwise altering the terms of the Senior Creditor Documents and (b) exchange, sell, release, surrender or otherwise deal
with any or all of the Senior Creditor Collateral, all without in any way compromising or affecting this Agreement. 

        18.    Reliance by Senior Creditor; Waiver of Notices; No Representations by Senior Creditor; Management
of Credit Facilities by Senior Creditor. All of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement. Agent and each
Junior Creditor expressly waive all notice of the acceptance by Senior Creditor of the provisions of this Agreement and all other notices not specifically required pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. Agent and each Junior Creditor agree that Senior Creditor has not made any representation or warranty with respect to the due execution, legality, validity, completeness or enforceability
of any of the Senior Creditor Documents, the perfection or priority of any security interest or lien securing any or all of the Senior Creditor Indebtedness or the collectibility of any of the Senior
Creditor Indebtedness. Senior Creditor shall be entitled to manage and supervise its credit facilities with Debtor in accordance with applicable law and its usual business practices, modified from
time to time as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, without regard to the existence of any rights that Agent or any Junior Creditor may have now or hereafter in or to any of the property or

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT    
    

        This management agreement (the "Agreement") is made this 3rd day of October, 2003, between American IronHorse Motorcycle Company, Inc., a Texas corporation
("AIMC"), and Xponential, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Xponential"). 

        On
October 3, 2003 Xponential purchased a $1,000,000 principal amount 12% secured promissory note due September 30, 2004 from AIMC (the "Note"). 

        The
parties hereto agree as follows: 

        1.    Management Services.    The management services will be provided by Mr. Robert W. Schleizer and/or
Mr. John Boudreau and other employees of Xponential approved by AIMC (collectively, the "Advisors"). Messrs. Schleizer and Boudreau will serve on a management committee consisting of
five individuals, the remaining members of which will be the members of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of AIMC (the "Board"). The current members of the Executive Committee of the
Board are Messrs. Dwayne A. Moyers, Charles Strand, and Donald G. Wilson. The management committee, although not a Board committee, will report directly to the Board and will have authority
with respect to cash flow decisions of AIMC, management of operations, and provide weekly reports to the Board regarding cash flow, risks and operations. 

        2.    Executive Management Fee.    The management fee will be based on the number of hours worked by each Advisor at
$250.00 per hour per Advisor. The management fee will be paid monthly within ten (10) days immediately following the submission by Xponential to AIMC of a statement for services rendered for
the immediately preceding month; however, in no event will the management fee be less than $20,000 or more than $25,000 per month, unless an increase in management fees is otherwise approved by the
Board. 

        3.    Termination.    This Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of the following: (a) repayment
in full of the Note; or (b) the expiration of six (6) months immediately following the conversion in full of the Note pursuant to the "Rights Offering" as provided in the Subscription
Agreement whereby Xponential subscribed to purchase the Note. 

        4.    Limitation of Liability; Release; and Indemnification.    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event of a breach by Xponential of its management obligations under this Agreement, the sole remedy of AIMC and any other party, absent fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence on the part
of Xponential, shall be the termination of Xponential's management obligations under this Agreement. AIMC hereby fully and forever irrevocably waives, releases, discharges, indemnifies, and agrees to
hold harmless Xponential, and its current and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, predecessors, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, executions, claims and
demands whatsoever, in law or equity, which AIMC ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing, known or unknown, mature or contingent, in
any way relating or pertaining to or otherwise involving, directly or indirectly, this Agreement and/or the actions or inactions of Xponential in the performance of its management obligations
hereunder, other than actions or inactions based on the fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence of Xponential. 

        5.    Relationship of Parties.    Xponential shall be an independent contractor in connection with its performance of
its obligations under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute AIMC and Xponential as members of any partnership, joint venture, or other entity. 

 

        6.    Binding Effect; Assignments.    This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Xponential and
AIMC and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. 

        7.    Notices.    Any notice provided for herein will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when:
(i) personally delivered; (ii) when sent by telecopier and confirmed within forty-eight (48) hours by letter mailed or delivered to the party to be notified; or (iii) three
