    THIS
CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, XXX(the “Holder”), is entitled
to subscribe for and purchase from BIOLARGO, INC., a corporation organized under
the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Company”), subject to
Section 1(b) hereof, commencing at the time periods prescribed herein and ending
at 5:00 p.m. California time on July 15, 2011, XXXX shares (the
“Shares”) of
common stock, par value, $0.00067, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). The
exercise price for each Share subject to this Warrant (the “Warrant Price”) is
equal to $0.75. The number of Shares and the Warrant Price are subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 4 of this
Warrant.

    


    This
Warrant is issued in connection with and as consideration for the Convertible
Note due April 15, 2013 dated the date hereof and issued by the Company in favor
of the Holder, which Convertible Note has been issued pursuant the Holder’s
investment in the Company.

    


    1.           Method of Exercise; Payment;
Issuance of New Warrant.

     

    (a) The
purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in
whole or in part, subject to the limitation set forth below, and from time to
time, by (i) the surrender of this Warrant (with a notice of exercise in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly
executed) at the principal office of the Company and (ii) the payment to
the Company, by check or wire transfer of funds to an account specified in
writing by the Company, of an amount equal to the aggregate Warrant Price. The
Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in
the executed Exhibit
A, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time, not
exceeding ten (10) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so
exercised. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at the office of the
Company, in proper form for exercise and accompanied by the amount equal to the
aggregate Warrant Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record
of the Shares issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder.

     

    (b) If
this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the
time of delivery of such Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the right to purchase the remaining Shares called for by this Warrant, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the
request of Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant which shall
then be returned to Holder.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.           Stock Fully Paid;
Reservation of Shares.  All Shares that may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully
paid and nonassessable, and free from all preemptive rights, taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay any transfer taxes with respect to the issue of
shares in any name other than that of the registered holder
hereof.  During the period within which the rights represented by this
Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of the issue upon exercise of the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant.  The Company shall at all times take all such action and
obtain all such permits or orders as may be necessary to enable the Company
lawfully to issue such Common Stock as duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares upon exercise in full of this Warrant.

     

    3.           Fractional
Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Fair Market
Value of such Shares.

     

    4.           Adjustment.  This
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
certain events, as follows:

     

    (a) Adjustment for Stock Splits
and Combinations.  If the Company shall at any time or from
time to time after the date hereof effect a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before that
subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall
at any time or from time to time after the date hereof combine the outstanding
Common Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before the
combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any adjustment under
this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective.

     

    (b) Adjustment for Certain
Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof shall make or issue a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in
each such event the Warrant Price shall be decreased as of the time of such
issuance, by multiplying the Warrant Price by a fraction:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (x)

            	
              the
      numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
      issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance;
      and

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (y)

            	
              the
      denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
      issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus
      the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend
      or distribution.

            


    

    


    (c) Adjustment of Number of
Shares.  Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to
either Section 4(a) or
4(b) of this
Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock, calculated to
the nearest one hundredth of a share, obtained by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the
exercise of the Warrant by the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment
and dividing the product so obtained by the new Warrant Price.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (d) Adjustment for
Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.  If the Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or
different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination provided for in Section 4(a)
above, a dividend or distribution provided for in Section 4(b)
above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided
for in Section 4(e)
below), then and in any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to
exercise this Warrant into the kind and amount of stock and other securities
receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by
holders of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant might
have been exercised immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification
or change.

     

    (e) Reorganization, Mergers,
Consolidations or Sales of Assets.  If at any time or from time
to time there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a
subdivision or combination provided for in Section 4(a)
above, a dividend or distribution provided for in Section 4(b)
above, or a reclassification or exchange of shares provided for in Section 4(d)
above) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity,
or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to
any other person or entity, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the number of
shares of stock or other securities, money or property of the Company, or of the
successor entity resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a
holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on
such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale.  The
Company shall not effect any reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale
unless prior to the consummation thereof each entity or person (other than the
Company) that may be required to deliver any cash, securities or other property
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall assume, by written instrument delivered
to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such cash, securities or
other property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions the Holder may be
entitled to receive.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4(e)
shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, mergers, consolidations and
sales.

     

    (f) No
Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles
of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against dilution or
other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will not issue any capital stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends
or as to the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.

     

    (g) Notice of
Adjustments.  Whenever this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant
to this Section 4, the
Company shall make a certificate signed by an officer of the Company setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of
the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the new
Warrant Price and the type or the number of Shares purchasable after giving
effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be
mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.

    5.           The Company’s Obligation to
Make Payments.

     

    (a) Dividends and
Distributions.  In the event the Company at any time or from
time to time after the date hereof shall make or issue a dividend or other
distribution, whether payable in cash, securities or other property of the
Company, with respect to any of its capital stock for which an adjustment is not
made pursuant to Section 4 of this
Warrant, then and in each such event, the Company shall concurrently make a cash
payment to the Holder equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by
dividing (x) the amount of cash plus the fair value of any property or
securities distributed by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
on the record date for such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of
Shares on such record date.

     

    (b) Redemption of Capital
Stock.  In the event the Company at any time or from time to
time after the date hereof shall repurchase or redeem any of its capital stock
or any rights, including without limitation, options, warrants or other
convertible or exchangeable securities, to acquire such capital stock, then and
in each such event, the Company shall concurrently make a cash payment to the
Holder equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing
(x) the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair value of any
property paid out by the Company in connection with any such repurchase or
redemption by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully
diluted basis immediately after such repurchase or redemption and (2) the number
of Shares.

     

    6.           Notice of Record
Date.  In the event:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

      the Company declares a dividend (or any other distribution) on any of its
      capital stock (including without limitation, its Common
      Stock);

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (2)

            	
              that
      the Company repurchases or redeems any of its capital stock (including
      without limitation, its Common Stock) or any rights to acquire such
      capital stock;

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (3)

            	
              that
      the Company subdivides or combines its outstanding shares of Common
      Stock;

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (4)

            	
              of
      any reclassification of the Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger
      or share exchange of the Company into or with another entity, or of the
      sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
    Company;

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (5)

            	
              of
      the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
      Company; or

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (6)

            	
              of
      any offer of its Common Stock or any rights to acquire such Common Stock
      for consideration paid per share of Common Stock less than the Warrant
