No. CN-07-03

Dated: November 1, 2007

$2,500,000



For value received, Ambient Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Maker ” or the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Vicis Capital Master Fund (together with its successors, representatives, and permitted assigns, the “ Holder ”), in accordance with the terms hereinafter provided, the principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars  ($2,500,000.00), together with interest thereon.  In addition to this Note, the Maker may be issuing separate secured convertible promissory notes (the “ Other Notes ”) to separate purchasers (the “ Other Holders ”) pursuant to securities purchase agreements substantially similar to the Purchase Agreement (as defined in Section 1.1 hereof).   This Note and the Other Notes are sometimes referred to as the “ Notes ”.

All payments under or pursuant to this Note shall be made, without setoff or counterclaim and without any withholding or deduction whatsoever,  in United States Dollars in immediately available funds to the Holder at the address of the Holder first set forth above or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Maker or by wire transfer of funds to the Holder’s account, instructions for which are attached hereto as Exhibit A .  The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on November 1, 2010 (the “ Maturity Date ”) or at such earlier time as provided herein.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Note may not be prepaid in whole or part, except with the written consent of the Holder.

ARTICLE I

Section 1.1

Purchase Agreement .  This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 1, 2007 (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) by and among the Maker and the purchasers listed therein.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement.  

Section 1.2­

Interest .  

(a)

Beginning on the date that is one (1) year following the issuance date of this Note (the “ Issuance Date ”), the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest, in arrears, at a rate per annum equal to eight percent (8%), payable quarterly commencing on September 30, 2008 and on the first business day of each following three-period at the option of the Maker in (A) cash or (B) shares of the Maker’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”) that are eligible for public resale by the Holder under an effective registration statement covering such shares.  The Maker shall provide irrevocable written notice to the Holder of the form of interest payment at least ten (10) days prior to an interest payment date.  If no such notice is provided at least ten (10) days prior to an interest payment date, the Maker must make the interest payment in cash.  In addition, the Maker must make interest payments in cash if it is unable to make interest payments in shares of Common Stock that are eligible for public resale by the Holder under an effective registration statement covering such shares.  The




number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as payment of accrued and unpaid interest shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be converted into Common Stock by (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the average of the VWAP (as defined below) for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the interest payment date (the “ Average VWAP ”); provided , however , the Maker shall not be permitted to issue registered shares of Common Stock as interest payments in the event that (A) the Average VWAP is less than $0.15 or (B) the average daily trading volume for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the interest payment date equals at least two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued to the Holder as an interest payment.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve (12) 30-day months and shall accrue commencing on the Issuance Date.  Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 2.1 hereof), then to the extent permitted by law, the Maker will pay interest to the Holder, payable on demand, on the outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date of the Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured at the rate of the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) and the maximum applicable legal rate per annum.

(b)

The term “ VWAP ” means, for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time); (ii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (iii) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Maker.


Section 1.3

Security Agreement .  The obligations of the Maker hereunder are secured by a continuing security interest in all of the assets of the Maker pursuant to the terms of a security agreement dated as of July 31, 2007 by and among the Maker, on the one hand, and the Holder and the Other Holders, on the other hand.

Section 1.4

Payment on Non-Business Days .  Whenever any payment to be made shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, such payment may be due on the next succeeding business day and such next succeeding day shall be included in the calculation of the amount of accrued interest payable on such date.

Section 1.5­

Transfer .  This Note may be transferred or sold, subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 of this Note, or pledged, hypothecated or otherwise granted as security by the Holder.

Section 1.6­

Replacement .  Upon receipt of a duly executed, notarized and unsecured written statement from the Holder with respect to the loss, theft or destruction of this Note (or any replacement hereof) and a standard indemnity, or, in the case of a mutilation of this Note, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Maker shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

ARTICLE III

­CONVERSION; ANTIDILUTION; PREPAYMENT

Section 3.1­

Conversion Option .  

(a)

At any time on or after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holder (the “ Conversion Option ”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) the sum of that portion of the outstanding principal balance under this Note and any acrrued but unpaid interest thereon as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in Section 3.2(a) hereof) then in effect on the date on which the Holder faxes a notice of conversion (the “ Conversion Notice ”), duly executed, to the Maker (facsimile number (617) 663-6191, Attn.: Chief Executive Officer) (the “ Voluntary Conversion Date ”), provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as described in Section 3.6 of this Note.  The Holder shall deliver this Note to the Maker at the address designated in the Purchase Agreement at such time that this Note is fully converted.  With respect to partial conversions of this Note, the Maker shall keep written records of the amount of this Note converted as of each Conversion Date.     

Section 3.2

Conversion Price .

(a)

The term “ Conversion Price ” shall mean $0.045, subject to adjustment under Section 3.6 hereof.  

(b)

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a “ Black-out Period ”), a Holder is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately due to the postponement of filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or because the Maker has otherwise informed such Holder that an existing prospectus cannot be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such postponement, delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not due to factors solely within the control of the Holder of this Note or due to the Maker exercising its rights under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement), such Holder shall have the option but not the obligation on any Conversion Date within ten (10) Trading Days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by such Holder that would have been applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) Trading Days thereafter.  In no event shall the Black-out Period have any effect on the Maturity Date of this Note.  



5



Section 3.3

Mechanics of Conversion.   

(a)

Not later than three (3) Trading Days after any Conversion Date (the “ Delivery Date ”), the Maker or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“ DWAC ”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.  In the alternative, not later than the Delivery Date, the Maker shall deliver to the applicable Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.  If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Maker at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Maker shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion, whereupon the Maker and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Maker.

(b)

The Maker understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  If the Maker fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Maker shall pay to such Holder, in cash, $10,000 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such certificate is delivered (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Maker’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Maker shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

(c)

In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Maker fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In” ), then the Maker shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that the Maker was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Maker timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Maker shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Maker written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Maker.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Maker’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 3.4

Ownership Caps and Certain Conversion Restrictions .

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time (including pursuant to the Warrants), the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time; provided , however , that upon the Holder providing the Maker with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof) (the “ Waiver Notice ”) that the Holder would like to waive this Section 3.4(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.  In all circumstances, the delivery by the Holder of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that such conversion conforms to the provisions of this Section 3.4(a) and the Maker shall be under no obligation to verify or ascertain compliance by the Holder with this provision.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3 of this Note, at no time may the Holder convert all or a portion of this Note if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time (including pursuant to the Warrants); provided , however , that upon the Holder providing the Maker with a Waiver Notice that the Holder would like to waive Section 3.4(b) of this Note with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, this Section 3.4(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Note referenced in the Waiver Notice.  In all circumstances, the delivery by the Holder of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that such conversion conforms to the provisions of this Section 3.4(b) and the Maker shall be under no obligation to verify or ascertain compliance by the Holder with this provision.

Section 3.5

Forced Conversion .   

(a)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the effective date of the Registration Statement, each of the VWAPs for any 20 consecutive Trading Days (such period commencing only after such effective date, such period the “ Threshold Period ”)) exceeds $0.375 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the original issue date of this note), the Company may, at any time after the fifth (5 th ) Trading Day after the end of any such period, deliver a notice to the Holder (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ” and the date such notice is received by the Holder, the “ Forced Conversion Notice Date ”) to cause the Holder to immediately convert all or part of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note at the then current Conversion Price (a “ Forced Conversion ”). The Company may only effect a Forced Conversion Notice if all of the conditions specified in Subsection (b) below are met through the applicable Threshold Period until the date of the applicable Forced Conversion and through and including the date such shares of Common Stock are issued to the Holder. Any Forced Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or in the Additional Note and Warrant Financing.

(b)

The Company may effect a Forced Conversion if at such time the conditions below are satisfied: (i) there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares issuable on conversion of this Note or, alternatively, the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note are subject to the provisions of Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) the Common Stock of the Company, including the Conversion Shares to be issued on the Mandatory Conversion Date, are eligible for trading on a Trading Market.
