ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT On August 24, 2009, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the "Registrant") entered into a Subscription Agreement among the Registrant and two accredited investors (the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Registrant issued and sold convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $338,250 and three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 676,500 shares of the Registrant's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The convertible promissory notes bear interest compounded monthly at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) and mature on August 24, 2010. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Registrant were $307,500. The convertible promissory notes are convertible at the option of the holders into shares of common stock of the Registrant at a price per share equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the principal market on which the common stock trades or is quoted for the ten (10) trading days preceding the proposed conversion date. Subject to adjustment as described in the note, the conversion price may not be more than $0.25 nor less than $0.15 Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Registrant granted "piggy back" registration rights to the Purchasers to include in any Form S-1 Registration Statement or similar registration statement filed by the Registrant after August 24, 2009 (other than on a Form S-8 or S-4) the shares underlying the warrants and the notes. Upon certain events, including events of default under the notes, the Purchasers have a right to demand that the Registrant redeem the notes at 120% of the face value of the notes. The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement, the promissory notes and the warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, the form of Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the form of promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. As previously reported in the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, in July 2009, the Registrant issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $330,000 and a common stock purchase warrant to an accredited investor on terms similar to the August 24, 2009 notes and warrants described herein. The July note is convertible into shares of the Registrant's common stock at a price per share that is equal to the lesser of (i) $0.25, or (ii) the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock for the three days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject in any case to a floor of $0.15 per share. The investor also received warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.02. The promissory notes and warrants issued in connection with the Subscription Agreement were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
