FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BIOLARGO, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (“Issuer”), promises to pay to the order of THOMAS J. TALBOT  (hereafter, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called “Holder”), at its office, at “Holder’s Address” (as that term is defined below), or at such other place as Holder may direct, the “Amount” noted above (the “Loan Amount”), payable twenty-four (24) months from the Issuance Date (the “Maturity Date”). This convertible note is duly authorized issue of the Issuer, purchased by the initial Holder pursuant to the subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) submitted by the original Holder and accepted by the Issuer on the “Issuance Date” noted above (the “Issuance Date”), and designated as its “24-Month Convertible Note” (referred to herein as the “Note”). This Note is issued with a stock purchase warrant that allows for the purchase of 1,200,000 shares of Issuer common stock at $0.30 per share.


 


The Issuer agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan Amount from time to time outstanding hereunder at the following rates per year, compounded annually: (i) before the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at the rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%); (ii) after the Maturity Date, until paid, at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%).


 


Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, or in Common Stock of the Issuer, as set forth below.


 


     The Note is subject to the following additional provisions:


 


1.     Interest. Accrual of interest shall commence as of the Issuance Date. Interest will be paid monthly on the first day of the month (the first month pro-rated based on the actual number of days elapsed in said month), on the date of the conversion of the Note (if any), and also on the Maturity Date, such interest to be paid in cash. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties hereto, the interest so payable will be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered on the records of the Issuer regarding registration and transfers of the Note (the “Note Register”), provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligation to a transferee of this Note arises only if such transfer, sale or other disposition is made in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Note and the Subscription Agreement that the original Holder executed at the time of making an investment in the Issuer.


 


2.     Withholdings. The Issuer shall be entitled to withhold from all payments of principal and/or interest of this Note any amounts required to be withheld under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other applicable laws at the time of such payments.

3.     Transfer. This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original Holder hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and in compliance with the restrictions on transfer provided in the Subscription Agreement. Prior to the due presentment for such transfer of this Note, the Issuer and any agent of the Issuer may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered in the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The transferee shall be bound, as the original Holder by the same representations and terms described herein and under the Subscription Agreement.


 


4.      Conversion by Holder. The Holder may, at its option, at any time convert the principal amount of this Note or any portion thereof, into such number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer (“Conversion Shares”) as is obtained by dividing the amount converted by $0.30 (“Conversion Price”). The right to convert the Note may be exercised by the Holder by telecopying, emailing to Investment@BioLargo.com, mailing (via first class mail, postage prepaid) or personally delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion (the “Notice of Voluntary Conversion”) to the Issuer. The business day on which a Notice of Voluntary Conversion is delivered in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed the “Voluntary Conversion Date”. The Holder must return to Issuer the original Note upon any conversion. The Issuer shall cause the issuance of the Conversion Shares to an account in Holder’s name at Issuer’s transfer agent, or, upon Holder’s request, issue and deliver a paper certificate representing the Conversion Shares, within ten business days after the later to occur of (i) the Voluntary Conversion Date or (ii) the business day on which the Issuer has received from the Holder the original Note being so converted. Accrued interest shall be due on the Voluntary Conversion Date and paid as set forth above in Paragraph 1, unless Holder requests conversion of remaining interest.


 


5.     Reduction of Principal upon Conversion. The principal amount of this Note shall be reduced as per that principal amount indicated on the Notice of Voluntary Conversion upon the proper receipt by the Holder of such Conversion Shares due upon such notice.


 


6.     Adjustment. The number of Conversion Shares shall be adjusted as follows. If the Issuer shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Conversion Shares in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of Conversion Shares in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.


 


7.     Pre-payment. Issuer may pay principal outstanding on this Note prior to the Maturity Date, provided that Issuer provide Holder ten (10) days written notice thereof. During such time and prior to receiving payment from holder after such notice period, Holder may exercise the conversion rights set forth in Paragraph 4.


 


8.     Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences is hereby defined as an “Event of Default” upon notice by Holder and Issuer’s failure to cure within ten (10) business days:


 


a.     Nonpayment. The Issuer shall fail to make any payment of principal, interest, or other amounts payable hereunder when and as due; or


 


b.     Dissolutions, etc. The Issuer or any subsidiary shall fail to comply with any provision concerning its existence or any prohibition against dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale of assets; or

c.     Noncompliance with this Agreement. The Issuer shall fail to comply in any material respect with any provision hereof, which failure does not otherwise constitute an Event of Default, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after the occurrence of such failure; or


 


d.     Bankruptcy. Any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding, domestic or foreign, is instituted by or against the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries shall take any step toward, or to authorize, such a proceeding; or


 


e.     Insolvency. The Issuer shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, shall enter into any composition or similar agreement, or shall suspend the transaction of all or a substantial portion of its usual business.


 


9.     Holder’s Election upon Default. If one or more “Events of Default” shall occur, then, or at any time thereafter, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) or cured as provided herein, at the option of the Holder, and in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Holder may elect to consider this Note (and all interest through such date) immediately due and payable. In order to so elect, the Holder must deliver written notice of the election and the amount due to the Issuer via certified mail, return receipt requested, at the Issuer’s address as set forth herein (or any other address provided to the Holder), and thereafter the Issuer shall have ten business days upon receipt to cure the Event of Default, pay the Note, or convert the amount due on the Note pursuant to the conversion formula set forth above. It is agreed that in the event of such action, such Holder shall be entitled to receive all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred, including without limitation such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys. The parties acknowledge that a change in control of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default as set forth herein.


 


10.     Invalid or Unenforceable Provisions. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


11.     Voting Rights. This Note does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Issuer prior to the conversion into Common Stock thereof, except as provided by applicable law. If, however, at the time of the surrender of this Note and conversion the Holder hereof shall be entitled to convert this Note, the Conversion Shares so issued shall be and be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the Conversion Date.


 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
