FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BAXL Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively with all of its Subsidiaries, the “Company”) with its principal executive office at 6 Berkshire Boulevard, Bethel, Connecticut 06801, promises to pay to the order of _________________ (the “Payee” or the “Holder”), or registered assigns on the date that is six months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) the principal amount of _________________ ($________) (the “Principal Amount”) in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts unless the Principal Amount is converted in accordance with Section 5 hereof. Interest on this Note shall accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum computed in accordance with Section 2 hereof and shall be payable on the Maturity Date, or earlier upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 hereof (or as may otherwise be provided in this Note). Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as the consent by the holder of this Note to any action otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Note or as a waiver of any such prohibition.




This Note is secured by a Security Agreement dated March 5, 2008 (the “Security Agreement”) of the Company in favor of the Payee and all other Noteholders covering certain collateral (the “Collateral”), all as more particularly described and provided therein, and is entitled to the benefits thereof.  The Security Agreement and the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in connection with the Security Agreement and any and all other documents executed and delivered by the Company to the Payee under which the Payee is granted liens on assets of the Company are collectively referred to as the “Security Documents.”




Each payment by the Company pursuant to this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds.











The Company (i) waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note and (ii) agrees, in the event of an Event of Default, to pay to the holder of this Note, on demand, all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement and collection of this Note.




This Note and the other identical Notes were issued pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2008 among the Company, Payee and all other Purchasers of Notes (the “SPA”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000 (the “Notes”) in connection with a private placement (the “Note Financing”). A copy of the agreement is available for inspection at the Company’s principal office. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, this Note is subject and entitled to certain terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in the SPA. Any transferee of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, assumes the obligations of the Payee in the SPA with respect to the conditions and procedures for transfer of this Note. Reference to the SPA shall in no way impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Company to pay both principal hereof and interest hereon as provided herein.




All capitalized terms not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the SPA. As used herein, the term “Conversion Shares” shall mean shares of common stock of BAXL Holdings, Inc., the parent company of the Company (“Parent”). 




1.

Prepayment. Prepayment of this Note may be made at any time without penalty.




2.

Computation of Interest.




A.

Base Interest Rate; Payment of Interest. Subject to Subsections 2B and 2C below, the outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum.  All accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall be paid on the Maturity Date and be payable in U.S. dollars.  




B.

Penalty Interest. In the event the Principal Amount of the Note is not repaid or converted on the Maturity Date, the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid Principal Amount shall be adjusted to twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of default until repayment; provided, that in no event shall the interest rate exceed the Maximum Rate provided in Section 2C below.




C.

Maximum Rate. In the event that it is determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (“Applicable Usury Laws”), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Maximum Rate”), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to 









-2-






accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident and any funds received in excess of such limits shall be so applied as provided herein or held in trust.

B.

Conversion Mechanics.




(i)

Surrender of Note Upon Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event of a Conversion, the Holder shall be required to physically surrender this Note (or any affidavit of lost Note in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company) to the Company or any transfer agent of the Company in order to receive the Conversion Shares.  

(ii)

Upon receipt by the Company of this Note (or any affidavit of lost Note in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company) and provided the Holder has converted this Note in accordance with the requirements of Section 5  hereof, certificates representing Conversion Shares shall be issued and deliverd to or upon the order of the Holder.

Concerning the Conversion Shares.  Conversion Shares may not be sold or transferred unless : (i) such Conversion Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), (ii) the Company or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of  counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, (iii) the Conversion Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”), or (iv) such Conversion 









-8-






Shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Holder who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Conversion Shares only in accordance with this Note and who is an accredited investor.  Except as otherwise provided in the SPA, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for Conversion Shares that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:




THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH RESPECT THERETO OR (ii) RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER NOR IS IN VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS LEGEND SHALL BE ENDORSED UPON ANY SECURITIES ISSUED IN EXCHANGE OR UPON CONVERSION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.

The legend set forth above shall be removed from any Conversion Share and the holder thereof shall be issued a new certificate for Conversion Shares free of any transfer legend (i) if the Conversion Shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or the legend can be removed pursuant to Rule 144(k) or (ii) upon sale pursuant to and in accordance with an effective registration statement filed under the Act.

F.

Status as Shareholder.  Upon submission of this Note by the Holder upon a Conversion (i) the Conversion Shares covered thereby shall be deemed Conversion Shares and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for the Conversion Shares and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note.

6.

Certain Adjustments.

A.

Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event that the Conversion Shares are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 6), then and in any such event each Holder of Notes 









-9-






shall have the right thereafter to elect to convert such Notes to receive the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the maximum number of Conversion Shares for which such Notes could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

B.

Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock or a merger or consolidation of Company or Parent with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of Parent to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Notes the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Conversion Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the Holders of the Notes after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the number of Conversion Shares to be received upon conversion of the Notes) shall be applicable after the event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

C.

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time Parent makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Parent common stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Parent common stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holders of the Notes shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Notes the number of shares of Parent common stock to which a Holder of the number of Conversion Shares would have been entitled on payment of such dividend or distribution or on the fixing of such record date; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefore, the number of Conversion Shares issuable shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the number of Conversion Shares issuable shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

D.

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event that at any time or from time to time Parent makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Parent common stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of Parent other than shares of Parent common stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Holders of Notes shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Parent common stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of Parent which they would have received had their Notes been converted into Conversion Shares on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of Conversion, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the Holders of the Notes.

(i)

modify this Section 7A, to change the definition of “Required Holders” or extend the Maturity Date, or 




(ii)

reduce the Principal Amount payable hereunder.




B.

No failure or delay on the part of the Payee in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Company (or Parent, as the case may be), in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Payee shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.
