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.

Section 2.2
Remedies Upon An Event of Default .
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be
continuing, the Holder of this Note may at any time at its
option, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this
Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, due and
payable, and thereupon, the same shall be accelerated and so due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice,
all of which are hereby expressly unconditionally and
irrevocably waived by the Maker; provided ,
however , that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in (i) Sections 2.1 (j) or (k), the outstanding
principal balance and accrued interest hereunder shall be
automatically due and payable and (ii) Sections 2.1 (a)-(i),
(l), (m) and (n), Holder may demand the prepayment of this Note
pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, (b) demand that the principal
amount of this Note then outstanding shall be converted into
shares of Common Stock at a Conversion Price per share
calculated pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof assuming that the date
that the Event of Default occurs is the Conversion Date (as
defined in Section 3.1 hereof), or (c) exercise or otherwise
enforce any one or more of the Holder’s rights, powers,
privileges, remedies and interests under this Note, the Purchase
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or applicable law.
In case of a default in the payment of any principal of or
interest on a Note, the Maker will pay to the Holder such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the cost and the
expenses of collection, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses and disbursements.
No course of delay on the part of the Holder shall operate
as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the right of the
Holder. No remedy conferred hereby shall be exclusive of
any other remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter
available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
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.
7
(c)
The provisions of Section 3.4 shall apply on the
date of the Forced Conversion. If, as a result of such
provisions, the entire portion of the Note provided for in the
Forced Conversion Notice is not converted as herein provided,
the Company, without further notice to the Holder, shall be
deemed to have timely given one or more Forced Conversion
Notices for the balance of such portion providing for successive
Forced Conversion dates until such portion of this Note is fully
converted or paid in full (or some combination thereof).
