$360,000                                                                                                                     March 12, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, AURA SYSTEMS, INC. ("Maker"), a Delaware Corporation whose address is 2330 Utah Avenue, El Segundo California 90245 promises to pay on or before One Hundred Twenty (120) calendar days following the Effective Date of this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Maturity Date"), to the order of Melvin Gagerman, ­­­­­­­­­­an individual whose address is 4930 Andasol Avenue, Encino, CA 91316 (the "Holder"), the principal amount of Three Hundred Sixty Thousand and No/100 ($360,000) (the "Principal Amount"), together with interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time, as herein provided, and all other sums due under this Convertible Promissory Note, as herein provided.

The unpaid principal amount of this Promissory Note (the “Note’) shall bear simple interest from the date that funds equaling the Principal Amount are delivered to Maker (the “Effective Date”) at a rate of TEN PERCENT PER ANNUM (10%) (the “Interest Rate”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days/360-day year.

All payments of principal, interest or any other sums due pursuant under this Note shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America and delivered directly to the applicable party at that party’s address as set forth below. Any payment made under this Note shall be credited in the following order: (1) first, to any interest at the Interest Rate then accrued but unpaid, (2) second to any remaining amount to principal, and (3) third to any unpaid collection costs.

The entire unpaid principal of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall become and be immediately due and payable upon the Maturity Date, without any other notice or demand of any kind or any presentment or protest.

No prepayment penalty. There shall be no prepayment penalties and Maker may repay the

outstanding principal balance of this Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty. In the event of such prepayment, the amount prepaid by Maker shall be applied to the latest payment or payments falling due under this Note.

Conversion. At any time while this Note is outstanding, this Note shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time.  The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Maker a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto (a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”).  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.  To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Maker unless the entire principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.  The Holder and the Maker shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
 
Conversion Price.  The conversion price for any and all conversions made by Holder pursuant to the foregoing paragraph shall be equal to $0.75 per share.

Default. Failure by Maker to make any payment in accordance with the terms of this Note shall constitute an event of default (an "Event of Default"). In the Event of Default, the entire unpaid principal of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall become and be immediately due and payable.

Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation.  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Maker of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery to the Maker of an indemnity undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Maker, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of this Note to the Maker, the Maker will issue a new note, of like tenor and principal amount, in lieu of or in exchange for such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.  Upon the issuance of any substitute Note, the Maker may require the payment to it of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses in connection therewith.
