BAXL Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that ________________, or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 5 below), up to __________ shares (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) of the Company’s common stock  at an exercise price of $1.88 per share.  The shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the exercise price per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Stock” and the “Exercise Price,” respectively.

This Warrant is issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2008 between BAXL Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and each of the Purchasers (as defined therein) (the “Purchase Agreement”) and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

1.

Exercise.

(a)

Manner of Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise (the “Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer or




by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder.  

(b)

Effective Time of Exercise.  Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1(a) above.  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock to be represented by such certificates.

(c)

Net Issue Exercise.

(i)

In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 1(a), the Registered Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election  on the purchase/exercise form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, in which event the Company shall issue to such Registered Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X =

Y (A - B)

      A

Where

X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder.

Y = The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A = The fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).

B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

(ii)

For purposes of this Section 1(c), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of calculation shall mean:

(A)

if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a 30 day period ending three days before the date of calculation;

(B)

if the Company’s Common Stock is actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sales price (whichever is applicable) over the 30 day period ending three days before the date of calculation; or

(C)

if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the fair market value shall be at the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the date of calculation

from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, unless the Company is at such time subject to an acquisition as described in Section 5(b) below, in which case the fair market value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the value of the consideration per share received by the holders of such stock pursuant to such acquisition.

(d)

Delivery to Registered Holder.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

(i)

a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and

(ii)

in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor and with the same date, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a) above (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof).

2.

Adjustments.

(a)

Stock Splits and Dividends.  If outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced.  If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be change d to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

(b)

Reclassification, Etc.  In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such

consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 2(a); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

(c)

Adjustment Certificate.  When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Stock or the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

3.

4.
