ITEM 1.01
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On July 15, 2010, Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Investor") whereby the Company issued and sold, and the Investor purchased: (i) a Secured Convertible Promissory Note of the Company in the principal amount of $890,000 (the "Company Note") and (ii) a Warrant to purchase Common Stock of the Company (the "Warrant"). As consideration for the issuance and sale of the Company Note and Warrant, the Investor paid cash in the amount of $400,000 and issued two Secured Trust Deed Notes to the Company (the "Trust Notes") each in the principal amount of $200,000. The variance of $90,000 represents payment obligations with respect to certain fees and expenses and an original issue discount.
 
The Company Note is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, at the option of the Investor, at a price per share equal to (a) the principal and interest due under the Company Note divided by (b) 80% of the average of the closing bid price for the three (3) trading days with the lowest closing bid prices during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the “Conversion Price”).  In no event shall the Conversion Price be greater than the "Ceiling Price", which is $0.30 per share. The principal and interest subject to conversion under the Note shall be eligible for conversion in tranches ("Tranches"), as follows: (1) an initial Tranche in an amount equal to $450,000 and any interest and/or fees accrued thereon under the terms of the Company Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined below and in the Purchase Agreement), and (2) two additional subsequent Tranches each in an amount equal to $220,000 and any interest or fees accrued thereon under the terms of the Company Note or the other Transaction Documents.  The first subsequent Tranche shall correspond to payment of the first Trust Note and the second subsequent Tranche shall correspond to payment of the second Trust Note (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  The Investor's right to convert any of the subsequent Tranches is conditioned upon the Investor’s payment in full of the Trust Notes corresponding to such subsequent Tranche.  Accordingly, principal and interest under the Company Note may only be converted by the Investor in proportion to the amounts paid under each of the Trust Notes.  However, up to $450,000 may be converted at the Investor's option at any time, representing amounts paid by the Investor on the closing of the transaction on July 15, 2010 (the "Closing").
 
The Company Note will bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The maturity date of the Company Note is July 15, 2011.  The Company Note contains "anti-dilution" protection, such that if the Company issues and sells Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the Company, at a price per share that is less than the applicable Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price is adjusted downward to match such lower issuance price. However, in no event will the Conversion Price based on anti-dilution adjustments be lower than the "Floor Price" which is $0.20 per share. The Company Note also contains other standard adjustment features for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar occurrences.  The Company Note contains standard events of default related to paymen t, performance of certain covenants and bankruptcy events. The Company has granted the Investor a security interest in the Trust Notes under the terms of the Security Agreement. The sole collateral for the Company's payment and performance obligation under the Company Note is the Trust Notes.
 
The Warrant entitles the Investor to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal (i) $800,000.00 divided by 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days (defined below) immediately preceding the issuance date of the Warrant (July 15, 2010), as such number may be modified according to the terms hereof (the “Adjusted Market Price”).  The Warrant contains "anti-dilution" protection, such that if the Company issues and sells Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock of the Company, at a price per share that is less than the Adjusted Market Price, then the Adjusted Market Price is adjusted downward to match such lower issuance price. The Warrant also contains other stand ard adjustment features for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar occurrences.
 
Each of the Company Note and the Warrant contain "blocker provisions" such that Investor shall not be permitted to hold by virtue of the conversion of the Company Note or the exercise of the Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “9.99% Cap”).  The Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to the Investor shares of its Common Stock which would exceed the 9.99% Cap, but only until such time as the 9.99% Cap would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Investor.
 
 
 
 

 
 
The Investor's obligation to pay the balance of the purchase price of the Company Note is evidenced by the two Trust Notes. Each Trust Note is in the principal amount of $200,000 and is secured by a parcel of real estate with improvements in the State of Utah, which is owned by the Investor (the "Real Estate").  The Company has received a first priority lien and security interest in the Real Estate by virtue of the Deed of Trust to be recorded in the county office where the Real Estate is located. The first Trust Note is due and payable on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is 14 months from the date of the Closing, or (ii) provided the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Company Note) are then eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (includi ng payment in cash or as a result of prepayment of the Trust Note), the date on which the aggregate principal and interest owed by the Company under the initial Tranche (as defined in the Company Note) of the Company Note is equal to or less than $25,000.00 (the “First Note Maturity Date”).  The second Trust Note is shall be due and payable on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is 16 months from the date of the Closing, or (ii) provided the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Company Note) are then eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (including payment in cash or as a result of prepayment of the Trust Note), the date on which the aggregate principal and interest owed by the Company under the second Tranche (as defined in the Company Note and also referred to therein as the initial Subsequent Tranche) of the Company Note is equal to or less than $25,000.00 (the “Second Note Maturity Date”).
 
The Trust Notes each contain standard events of default related to payment, certain covenants and bankruptcy events.  The Deed of Trust (and lien of the Company on the Real Estate) will be released automatically upon the first to occur of: (i) written notice from the Company that the full amount of the Trust Notes has been repaid, or (ii) the date that is six months and three days following the date the Trust Deed is recorded, which will be approximately July 21, 2010 (the “Release Date”), the Deed of Reconveyance (which terminates the Deed of Trust) shall be executed and recorded. The termination of the Deed of Trust may be delayed if the Trust Notes are then in default. The instruments needed to release the Deed of Trust, specifically the Request for Reconveyance and the Deed of Reconvey ance will be held by in escrow by an appointed escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), under the Terms of the Escrow Agreement dated July 15, 2010 by an among the parties.
 
The Company Note, the Warrant, the Trust Notes, the Escrow Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Deed of Reconveyance, the Request for Reconveyance, the Company Security Agreement, and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (the "Transaction Documents") were each delivered pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and Investor that are customary for transactions of this kind. The Purchase Agreement (and the Note and Warrant) each contain certain penalties and damages in the event the Company shall late file any of its required reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or fail to timely deliver (generally within five business days) any shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Company Note or exercise of the Warrant.
 
The foregoing is only a summary of the terms of the transaction between the Company and the Investor.  You are urged to read each of the Company Note, the Warrant, the Trust Notes, the Escrow Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Deed of Reconveyance, the Request for Reconveyance, the Company Security Agreement,  the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and the Purchase Agreement, which are each attached as an Exhibit to this Current Report.

COMPANY NOTE

$890,000.00
July 15, 2010

AETHLON MEDICAL, INC.
 
Secured Convertible Promissory Note
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Aethlon Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation, or its successors or assigns (the “Lender,” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”), the principal sum of $890,000.00 together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder, all as set forth below in this Secured Convertible Promis sory Note (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”). Defined terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.
 
1.   Principal and Interest Payments. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall accrue at the rate of 6% per annum. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), the Outstanding Balance (as defined below) of this Note shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 15.00% per annum from and after the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default, whether before or after judgment. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender all outstanding amounts due hereunder in a payment due on or before the date that is twelve (12) month s from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”). All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America delivered to the Lender at the address furnished to the Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal. For purposes hereof, the term “Outstanding Balance” means the sum of the outstanding principal balance of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest, collection and enforcement costs, and any other fees incurred under this Note.
 
2.   Original Issue Discount.  The Borrower acknowledges that the principal amount of this Note exceeds the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and that such excess is an original issue discount and shall be fully earned and charged to the Borrower upon the execution of this Note, and shall be paid to the Lender as part of the outstanding principal balance as set forth in this Note.   
 
3.   Conversion.
 
(a)   Optional Conversion. At any time or from time to time after the date of this Note and prior to payment in full of the entire Outstanding Balance, the Lender shall have the right, at the Lender’s option, to convert the Outstanding Balance, in whole or in part (the “Conversion Amount”), into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Borrower; provided, however, that the conversion by the Lender of the Outstanding Balance shall be exercisable in tranches (each, a “Tranche”), consisting of (1) an initial Tranche in an amount equal to $450,000 and any interest and/or fees accrued thereon under the terms of this Note and
 
 
 
 

 
 
the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (2) two additional Tranches (each, a “Subsequent Tranche”) each in an amount equal to $220,000 and any interest or fees accrued thereon under the terms of this Note or the other Transaction Documents.  The first Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the second Subsequent Tranche shall correspond to Buyer Trust Deed Note #2 (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  The Lender’s right to convert any of the Subsequent Tranches is conditioned upon the Lender’s payment in full of the Buyer Trust Deed Note corresponding to such Subsequent Tranche (upon the satisfaction of su ch condition, such Tranche becomes a “Conversion Eligible Tranche”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Conversion Eligible Tranche may be converted in whole or in part at any time subsequent to the first date on which such Subsequent Tranche becomes a Conversion Eligible Tranche.  At all times hereunder, any fees or penalties incurred, including, without limitation, any fees incurred in connection with a Trigger Effect (as defined below), shall be added to any then-current Conversion Eligible Tranche.  Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 16 below, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by dividing (a) the Conversion Amount by (b) 80% of the average of the closing bid price for the three (3) Trading Days with the lowest closing bid prices during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date (as defined below) (the “Conversion Price”).  In no event shall the Conversion Price be greater than the Ceiling Price (as defined below). The trading data used to compute the closing bid prices shall be as reported by Bloomberg, LP (“Bloomberg”), or if such information is not then being reported by Bloomberg, then as reported by such other data information source as may be selected by the Lender.  For purposes hereof, the “Ceiling Price” shall be equal to $0.30 per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in any Transaction Document, Lender and Borrower agree that such Conversion Shares shall only be eligible for sale under Rule 144 to the extent such Shares are issued as against the initial $450,000 cash payment, or upon payment of all or a portion of the Trust Deed Notes.
 
(b)   Conversion Mechanics. In order to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Lender shall give written notice to the Borrower at its principal corporate office or the notice address provided in the Purchase Agreement (which notice, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, may be given via facsimile, email, or other means in the discretion of the Lender provided Lender obtains confirmation thereof from the Company, which confirmation shall be delivered immediately upon the Company’s receipt of such notice) pursuant to the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) and Exhibit A-1 (the “Conversion Worksheet”) of the election to convert the same pursuant to this Section (the date on which a Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company, a “Conversion Date”).  Such Conversion Notice shall state the Conversion Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Lender is entitled pursuant to the Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Shares”), and the account into which the shares of Common Stock are to be deposited (the “Lender Account”).  A Conversion Date must be a Business Day. The Borrower shall immediately, but in no event later than five (5) Trading Days after receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Delivery Date”), Deliver (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) the Conversion Shares to the Lender Account provided the Transfer Agent has received and has in its possession all documentation in form and substance reasonably required by it, including the opinion of Buyer’s counsel, in order to issue the Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all such Deliveries of Conversion Shares shall be electronic, via DWAC.  In the event the Borrower fails to Deliver the Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date and provided the Transfer Agent has received and has i n its possession all documentation in form and substance reasonably required by it, including the opinion of Buyer’s counsel, in order to issue the Shares, in addition to all other remedies available to the Lender hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents and at law or in equity, a penalty equal to 1.5% of the Conversion Amount shall be added to the balance of this Note per day until such Conversion Shares are Delivered.  The conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Conversion Notice, and the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.

(c)   No Fractional Shares. Conversion calculations pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and no fractional shares shall be issuable by the Borrower upon conversion of this Note. All shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note (including fractions thereof) shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether such conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share.
 
(d)   No Impairment.  The Borrower will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Borrower, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Lender against impairm ent.
 
4.   Prepayment by the Borrower. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and the Borrower shall have a sufficient number shares of Common Stock authorized to accommodate a conversion of the Outstanding Balance of this Note, the Borrower may, in its sole and absolute discretion and upon giving the Lender not less than five (5) Trading Days written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”), pay in cash all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance of this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided t hat in the event the Borrower elects to prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance of this Note, it shall pay to the Lender 110% of the portion of the Outstanding Balance the Borrower elects to prepay. If the Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the specified prepayment amount due to the Lender within two (2) Trading Days following the date of prepayment set forth in the Prepayment Notice, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to repay this Note pursuant to this Section.
 
5.   Certain Adjustments. The number and class or series of shares into which this Note may be converted under Section 3 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following provisions:
 
(a)   Computation of Adjusted Conversion Price and Floor Price. Except as hereinafter provided, in case the Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof issue or sell any (i) shares of its Common Stock or preferred shares convertible into its Common Stock, or (ii) debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (together herein referred to as “Equity Securities”), in each case for consideration (or with a conversion price) per share of Common Stock less than th e Conversion Price or the Floor Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such securities or instruments, or without consideration, other than for Excepted Issuances (as defined below), then forthwith upon such issuance or sale, each of the Conversion Price and the Floor Price (as defined below) shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced to the price (rounded down to the nearest full cent) equal to the price (or conversion price) of any such securities or instruments; provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price or the Floor Price be adjusted pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the Conversion Price or Floor Price in effect immediately prior to such computation.  For the purposes of this Section 5, the term Conversion Price shall mean the Conversion Price per share set forth in Section 3(a) hereof, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3

 
 
Excepted Issuances” shall mean, collectively, (i) the Borrower’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Borrower’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans which are approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Borrower, and (iii) the Borrower’s issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise of secu rities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock which securities were issued prior to the date of the Closing and which have been disclosed to the Lender prior to the Closing. Schedule 5(a) hereto lists all such securities, including, without limitation, all securities that may potentially be converted for a price per share of Common Stock lower than the Floor Price.
 
For purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this Section 5, the following provisions shall be applicable:
 
(i) In case of the issuance or sale of any shares of Equity Securities for a consideration part or all of which shall be cash, the amount of the cash consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Borrower for such shares (or, if shares of stock are offered by the Borrower for subscription, the subscription price, or, if either of such securities shall be sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription price, the public offering price, before deducting therefrom any compensation paid or discount allowed in the sale, underwriting or purchase thereof by underwriters or dealers or other persons or entities performing similar services), or any exp enses incurred in connection therewith and less any amounts payable to security holders or any affiliate thereof, including, without limitation, any employment agreement, royalty, consulting agreement, covenant not to compete, earnout or contingent payment right or similar arrangement, agreement or understanding, whether oral or written; all such amounts shall be valued at the aggregate amount payable thereunder whether such payments are absolute or contingent and irrespective of the period or uncertainty of payment, the rate of interest, if any, or the contingent nature thereof.
 
(ii) In case of the issuance or sale (otherwise than as a dividend or other distribution on any stock of the Borrower) of shares of Equity Securities for a consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration therefor other than cash shall be deemed to be the value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Borrower.
 
(iii) Shares of Equity Securities issuable by way of dividend or other distribution on any capital stock of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution and shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
 
(iv) The reclassification of securities of the Borrower other than shares of Equity Securities into securities including shares of Equity Securities shall be deemed to involve the issuance of such shares of Equity Securities for consideration other than cash immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of security holders entitled to receive such shares, and the value of the consideration allocable to such shares of stock shall be determined as provided in this Section 5.
 
 
 
 
 
4

 
 
(v) The number of shares of Equity Securities at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of shares issued or issuable (subject to readjustment upon the actual issuance thereof) upon the exercise of then outstanding options, rights, warrants, and convertible and exchangeable securities.
 
(b)   Adjustment for Reorganization or Recapitalization. If, while this Note remains outstanding and has not been converted, there shall be a reorganization or recapitalization of the Borrower (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), all necessary or appropriate lawful provisions shall be made so that the Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note, the greatest number of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the class of securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization or recapitalization if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such reorganization or recapitalization, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 5. If the per share consideration payable to the Lender for such class of securities in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors. The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations or recapitalizations and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the conversion of this Note. In all events, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Note (including adjustment of the conversion price, Floor Price, and number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note is then convertible pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note) with respect to the rights and interests of the Lender after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Note shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable or issuable after such reorganization or recapitalization upon conversion of this Note.
 
(c)   Adjustments for Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Borrower at any time while this Note remains outstanding and unconverted, shall split or subdivide any class of securities into which this Note may be converted into a different number of securities of the same class, the number of shares of such class issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such split or subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the conversion price and Floor Price for such class of securities shall be proportionately decreased.

This Warrant to purchase Shares of Common Stock (this “Warrant”) is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), to which the Company and the Holder (or the Holder’s predecessor in interest) are parties.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

This Warrant was originally issued to the Holder or the Holder’s predecessor in interest on July 15, 2010 (the “Issue Date”).

2.           Exercise of Warrant.

2.1           General.

(a) This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to the Company (either by delivery to the Company or by email or facsimile transmission) a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise (substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A). The date such Notice of Exercise is either faxed, emailed or delivered to the Company shall be the “Exercise Date,” provided that, if such exercise represents the full exercise of the outstanding balance of the Warrant, the Holder of this Warran t shall tender this Warrant to the Company within five (5) Trading Days thereafter. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by the Holder of this Warrant and shall indicate (i) the number of shares then being purchased pursuant to such exercise and (ii) if applicable (as provided below), whether the exercise is a cashless exercise.

For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Trading Day” means any day during which the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded (the “Principal Market”) shall be open for business.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to the contrary, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Holder may elect a “cashless” exercise of this Warrant for any Warrant Shares whereby the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the excess of the Current Market Value (as defined below) over the aggregate Exercise Price of the portion of the Warrant then being exercised, divided by (y) the Adjusted Price of the Common Stock (as defined below).

For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Adjusted Price of the Common Stock” shall mean the Conversion Price, as defined in that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued by the Company in favor of the Holder on even date herewith (the “Note”), in effect on any relevant Exercise Date.

Current Market Value” shall mean an amount equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise.

Closing Price” means the 4:00 P.M. last sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the relevant Trading Day(s), as reported by Bloomberg LP (or if that service is not then reporting the relevant information regarding the Common Stock, a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company) (“Bloomberg”) for the relevant date.

Exercise Price” shall mean 105% of the Adjusted Market Price.

Market Price of the Common Stock” shall mean the higher of: (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Issue Date; or (ii) the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day that is two (2) Trading Days prior to the Exercise Date.

(c) If the Notice of Exercise form elects a “cash” exercise (or if the cashless exercise referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (b) is not available in accordance with the terms hereof), the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for the shares then being exercised shall be payable, at the election of the Holder, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by the Company at the request of the Holder.

(d) Upon the appropriate payment to the Company, if any, of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, together with the surrender of this Warrant (if required), the Company shall promptly, but in any event within three (3) business days Deliver (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) the applicable Warrant Shares electronically via Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) to the account designated by the Holder on the Notice of Exercise.  If for any reason the Company is not able to Deliver the Warrant Shares via DWAC, notwithstanding its best efforts to do so, the Company shall deliver certificates representing the Warrant Shares to the Holder as provided in the Notice of Exercise (the certificates d elivered in such manner, the “Warrant Share Certificates”) within three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, a “Delivery Date”) of (i) with respect to a “cashless exercise,” the Exercise Date as the case may be, or, (ii) with respect to a “cash” exercise, the later of the Exercise Date or the date the payment of the Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares is received by the Company.

(e) The Company understands that a delay in the electronic Delivery of Warrant Shares or the delivery of the Warrant Share Certificates, as the case may be, beyond the Delivery Date (assuming electronic Delivery is not available) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late Delivery of Warrant Shares or Warrant Share Certificates, as applicable, in the amount of $100.00 per Trading Day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000.00 of the total Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares subject to the delivery default. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this subsection in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remed ies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect Delivery of the Warrant Shares or the Warrant Share Certificates, as applicable, by the Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

(f) The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the Warrant Shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the Exercise Date provided the Exercise Price is tendered in full on such date.

2.2             Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Warrant, if at any time after the date hereof, the Holder shall or would receive shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, so that the Holder would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), hold by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “9.99% Cap”), the Company shall not be obligated and sh all not issue to the Holder shares of its Common Stock which would exceed the 9.99% Cap, but only until such time as the 9.99% Cap would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Holder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Holder pursuant to a conversion of the Note, combined with an exercise of this Warrant, shall not exceed a cap determined by (a) dividing the sum of (i) the face amount of the Note, plus (ii) an amount equal to all interest that would accrue under the Note during its term (assuming no payments of principal or interest are made prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note)), by a price per share of Common Stock equal to $0.20 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 of the Note), and (b) then adding the sum calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) to the maximum number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant (regardless of whether such exercise is a cashless exercise).

5.           Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments.

5.1           Capital Adjustments.  If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or stock split, or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be automatically increased proportionately in the case of a subdivision, split or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.  Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per Warrant Share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.  Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective automatically at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

5.2           Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation.  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganiza tion, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change.  In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per Warrant Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

5.3           Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time within forty-eight (48) months of the Issue Date, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any Common Stock, preferred shares convertible into Common Stock, or debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (together herein referred to as “Equity Securities”), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuance collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Equity Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options, or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then, the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price payable prior to such adjustment (such adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder, the “Adjusted Warrant Shares”). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Equity Securities are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Equity Securities subject to this Section 5.3, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, or other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of c larification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5.3, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive the Adjusted Warrant Shares at an Exercise Price equal to the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

5.4           Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

5.5           Exceptions to Adjustment.  Notwithstanding the provisions of 5.3 and 5.4, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be effected as a result of an Excepted Issuance.  “Excepted Issuances” shall mean, collectively, (i) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans which are approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, and (iii) the Company's issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise of securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock which securities were issued prior to the date of the initial issuance of this Warrant and have been disclosed to the Holder prior thereto on Schedule 5(a) to the Note.

6.         Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 8 hereof).

7.           Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act. This Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, have not been registered under the 1933 Act. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated without (a) an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to such security or (b) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the Act. Until such time as registration has occurred under the 1933 Act, each certificate for this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of th is Warrant shall contain a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section. Any such transfer shall be accompanied by a transferor assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Transferor Assignment”), executed by the transferor and the transferee and submitted to the Company. Upon receipt of the duly executed Transferor Assignment, the Company shall register the transferee thereon as the new Holder on the books and records of the Company and such transferee shall be deemed a “registered holder” or “registered assign” for all purposes hereunder, and shall have all the rights of the Holder hereof.

8.           Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent (a “Warrant Agent”) for the purpose of issuing Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant hereto, exchanging this Warrant pursuant hereto, and replacing this Warrant pursuant hereto, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.

9.           Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

10.           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in the manner provided in the subsection headed “Notices” in the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

12.           Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois located in Cook County and any United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each part y hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Warrant. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. The Company and, by accepting this Warrant, the Holder, each irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

13.           Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, without limiting any other remedies available to the Holder, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

14.           Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

The Company further agrees to redact all confidential information from such Form 8-K identified as confidential by the Buyer, provided the Buyer informs the Company prior to the Closing as to what information it deems confidential and provided further that the Company remains in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the Buyer, so long as the Buyer owns any Securities or Common Stock, promptly upon request, (1) a writte n statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyer to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

(iii)           Listing.  The Company’s Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any Principal Trading Market. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Trading Market and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

(iv)           Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the net proceeds received hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes; provided, however, the Company will not use such proceeds to pay fees payable (a) to any broker or finder relating to the offer and sale of the Note and the Warrant, or (b) to any other party relating to any financing transaction effected prior to the Closing Date.

$1,000.00 + $200.00 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days
 
 
The amount of any payments incurred under this Section 6(b)(i) shall be automatically added to the principal balance of the Note and the Company shall pay any such payments in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to issue and Deliver the Shares to the Holder within a reasonable time.  Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to a Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect Delivery of such Shares within two (2) Trading Days after the Delivery Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company prior to such Holder’s receipt of the relevan t Shares, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise, as the case may be; provided, however, that any payments contemplated by this Section 6(b)(i) which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

(ii)           If, by the fifth Trading Day after the  relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails for any reason to Deliver the Shares, but at any time after the Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make Delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which Delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such conversion or exercise (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shal l have the right to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of  the amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the immediately preceding Section 6(b)(i)), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below).  The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the number of Sold Shares multiplied by the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder’s total purchase price per share (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds per share (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares.  The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder.  By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000.00, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Holder will be $1,000.00.

c.            The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the Transfer Agent or Company Counsel regarding (i) the removal of a legend or stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities, and (ii) the issuance of certificates or DWAC registration to or in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Holder’s responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (specifically: medallion guarantee and prospectus delivery compliance) in connection with any electronic issuance of shares of Common Stock.
 
d.           The Holder of the Note  shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note, as the case may be, notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such Holder’s exercise privilege.  The Co mpany hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Note. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to such Holder, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.

10.           INDEMNIFICATION.

a.           The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and forever hold harmless the Buyer and its officers, managers, employees, and agents, and each Buyer Control Person (the “Buyer Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Buyer, its partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized agents, and any such Buyer Control Person becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentatio n, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, provided such Damages do not wholly arise, directly or indirectly from any fraud, negligence or willful misconduct of any Buyer Parties (in which event the Company’s indemnification obligations herein will be offset by the amount attributable thereto as a result of a Buyer Parties’ fraud, negligence or willfull misconduct, but otherwise such obligations shall remain in full force and effect); and provided further such indemnification obligations may be offset against any Damages incurred by the Company as a result of any fraud, negligence or willful misconduct of any Buyer Parties whether or not such Damages on the part of Buyer Parties and the Company arise from the same action or proceeding. The Buyer Parties with the right to be indemnified under this Section (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall have the right to defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of their own selection, and the Company shall be solely responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto.  If the Indemnified Parties opt not to retain their own counsel, the Company shall defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of its choosing at its sole cost and expense, provided that such attorneys have been pre-approved by the Indemnified Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the Company may not settle any such action or proceeding without first obtaining the written consent of the Indemnified Parties.
 
b.           The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Buyer Parties against the Company or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Company may be subject to.

11.           SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  The Company and  the Buyer acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any Holder) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without (except as specified below) the necessity to post a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisio ns hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however that the Company, upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion or a Notice of Exercise, may not fail or refuse to deliver the stock certificates and the related legal opinions, if any, or if there is a claim for a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense, any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has violated any provision hereof or any other Transaction Document or has engaged in any violation of law or any other claim or defense, unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver said stock certificates to the Holder. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to the Holder to the extent that the Holder obtains judgment or its defense is recognized.  Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if the Holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted.  This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Documents as if set forth therein in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required to deliver Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, in the event the Company in good faith reasonably believes the actions requested by the Buyer are in material violation of applicable law.

In connection with the performance of this Section 12, the Buyer and/or its Affiliates agree to furnish to the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company in order to calculate the 9.99% Cap amount.

13.           SHARE ISSUANCE CAP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Note or the Warrant, the number of Shares that may be issued to the Buyer pursuant to a conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant shall not exceed a cap determined by (a) dividing the sum of (i) the face amount of the Note, plus (ii) an amount equal to all interest that would accrue under the Note during its term (assuming no payments of principal or interest are made prior to the Maturity Date), by a price per Share of $0.20 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, issuances of Securities having a price per Share equal to less than $0.20, and other events as set forth in the Note), and (b) then adding the sum calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) to the maximum number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder thereof upon exercise of the Warrant (regardless of whether such exercise is a cashless exercise).

BUYER TRUST DEED NOTE #1
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tonaquint, Inc. a Utah corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Aethlon Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Lender,” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”), the principal sum of $200,000.00 together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder, all as set forth b elow in this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Purchase Agreement” and together with all other agreements entered into between the Parties in connection with this Note, the “Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which the Lender issued to the Borrower a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $890,000.00 (the “Lender Note”) and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
1.   Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance and any unpaid late fees or other fees under this Note at a rate of 5.0% per annum until the full amount of the principal and fees has been paid. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), this Note shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 10.00% per annum from and after the date of the Event of Default, whether before or after judgment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law.  The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is 14 months from the date of this Note, or (ii) provided the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Lender Note) are then eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (including payment in cash or as a result of prepayment of this Note), the date on which the aggregate principal and interest owed by the Lender under the initial Tranche (as defined in the Lender Note) of the Lender Note is equal to or less than $25,000.00 (the “Maturity Date”).
 
2.   Payment. Unless prepaid, all principal and accrued interest under this Note is due on the Maturity Date. All payments of interest and principal shall be (i) in lawful money of the United States of America, and (ii) in the form of immediately available funds. All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal. Payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be delivered to the Lender at the address furnished to the Borrower for that purpose.
 
3.   Prepayment by the Borrower. The Borrower may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay, without penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding balance along with any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date.
 
 
 
 

 
 
4.   Security. The payment of this Note is secured by that certain Trust Deed (the “Trust Deed”) of even date herewith executed by the Borrower, as Trustor, in favor of the Lender, as Beneficiary, encumbering certain real property of the Borrower, as more specifically set forth in the Trust Deed, all the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Note.  The Lender covenants and agrees to release the Trust Deed pursuant to the terms of Section 5.
 
5.   Release. The Lender covenants and agrees that simultaneous with the receipt of this Note, duly executed by the Borrower, it shall execute and deliver a Deed of Reconveyance substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reconveyance”), which will operate to release the Trust Deed upon satisfaction of the conditions for release of the Trust Deed set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). An escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), mutually satisfactory to the Borrower and the Lender, shall hold the Reconveyance in escrow, subject to the condition that the Escrow Agent may not record the Reconveyance until all of the conditions for release of the Trust Deed set forth in the Escrow Agreement have been satisfied. In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Reconveyance shall be recorded (and thereby the Trust Deed reconveyed) the earlier of (i) the first date on which the Buyer Trust Deed Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are repaid in full, or (ii) six months and three days following the date the Trust Deed is recorded (the “Release Date”).  For avoidance of doubt, after the Release Date, there shall be no collateral securing this Note.
 
6.   Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event of (i) an Event of Default under the Lender Note, or (ii) a breach of any material term, condition, representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Lender under any Transaction Document, the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and offset any amount owing by the Lender under the Lender Note from any amount owed by the Borrower under this Note.  In the event that the Borrower’s exercise of its offset rights under this Section 6 results in the full satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note, then the Lender shall return this Note to the Borrower for cancellation or, in the event this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost note affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
 
7.   Default. If any of the events specified below shall occur (each, an “Event of Default”) the Lender may declare the unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Borrower.  If any default, other than a Payment Default (as defined below), is curable, then the default may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if the Borrower, after receiving written notice from the Lender demanding cure of such default, either (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days, or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps that the Lender deems in the Lender’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter diligently continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. Each of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default:
 
(a)   Failure to Pay. The Borrower’s failure to make any payment when due and payable under the terms of this Note (a “Payment Default”);
 
(b)   Breaches of Covenants. The Borrower or its subsidiaries, if any, shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in this Note or in the Deed of Trust;
 
 
 
2

 
 
(c)   Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made or furnished by the Borrower to the Lender in writing in connection with this Note, or as an inducement to the Lender to enter into the Purchase Agreement, shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; and
 
(d)   Involuntary Bankruptcy. If any involuntary petition is filed under any bankruptcy or similar law or rule against the Borrower, or a receiver, trustee, liquidator, assignee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official is appointed to take possession of any of the assets or properties of the Borrower or any guarantor.

BUYER TRUST DEED NOTE #2
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, __________a Utah corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to Aethlon Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Lender,” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”), the principal sum of $200,000.00 together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder, all as set forth below i n this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, entered into by and between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Purchase Agreement” and together with all other agreements entered into between the Parties in connection with this Note, the “Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which the Lender issued to the Borrower a Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $890,000.00 (the “Lender Note”) and a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
 
1.   Principal and Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance and any unpaid late fees or other fees under this Note at a rate of 5.0% per annum until the full amount of the principal and fees has been paid. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), this Note shall accrue simple interest at the rate of 10.00% per annum from and after the date of the Event of Default, whether before or after judgment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall the applicable interest rate at any time exceed the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law.  The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable on or before the earlier of (i) the date that is 16 months from the date of this Note, or (ii) provided the Conversion Shares (as defined in the Lender Note) are then eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (including payment in cash or as a result of prepayment of this Note), the date on which the aggregate principal and interest owed by the Lender under the second Tranche (as defined in the Lender Note and also referred to therein as the initial Subsequent Tranche) of the Lender Note is equal to or less than $25,000.00 (the “Maturity Date”).
 
2.   Payment. Unless prepaid, all principal and accrued interest under this Note is due on the Maturity Date. All payments of interest and principal shall be (i) in lawful money of the United States of America, and (ii) in the form of immediately available funds. All payments shall be applied first to costs of collection, if any, then to accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to principal. Payment of principal and interest hereunder shall be delivered to the Lender at the address furnished to the Borrower for that purpose.
 
3.   Prepayment by the Borrower. The Borrower may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay, without penalty, all or any portion of the outstanding balance along with any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date.
 
 
 
 

 
 
4.   Security. The payment of this Note is secured by that certain Trust Deed (the “Trust Deed”) of even date herewith executed by the Borrower, as Trustor, in favor of the Lender, as Beneficiary, encumbering certain real property of the Borrower, as more specifically set forth in the Trust Deed, all the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Note.  The Lender covenants and agrees to release the Trust Deed pursuant to the terms of Section 5.
 
5.   Release. The Lender covenants and agrees that simultaneous with the receipt of this Note, duly executed by the Borrower, it shall execute and deliver a Deed of Reconveyance substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reconveyance”), which will operate to release the Trust Deed upon satisfaction of the conditions for release of the Trust Deed set forth in the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). An escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), mutually satisfactory to the Borrower and the Lender, shall hold the Reconveyance in escrow, subject to the condition that the Escrow Agent may not record the Reconveyance until all of the conditions for release of the Trust Deed set forth in the Escrow Agreement have been satisfied. In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Reconveyance shall be recorded (and thereby the Trust Deed reconveyed) the earlier of (i) the first date on which the Buyer Trust Deed Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) are repaid in full, or (ii) six months and three days following the date the Trust Deed is recorded (the “Release Date”).  For avoidance of doubt, after the Release Date, there shall be no collateral securing this Note.
 
6.   Right of Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event of (i) an Event of Default under the Lender Note, or (ii) a breach of any material term, condition, representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Lender under any Transaction Document, the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and offset any amount owing by the Lender under the Lender Note from any amount owed by the Borrower under this Note.  In the event that the Borrower’s exercise of its offset rights under this Section 6 results in the full satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note, then the Lender shall return this Note to the Borrower for cancellation or, in the event this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost note affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
 
7.   Default. If any of the events specified below shall occur (each, an “Event of Default”) the Lender may declare the unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, fees incurred or other amounts owing hereunder immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Borrower.  If any default, other than a Payment Default (as defined below), is curable, then the default may be cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if the Borrower, after receiving written notice from the Lender demanding cure of such default, either (a) cures the default within fifteen (15) days, or (b) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps that the Lender deems in the Lender’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter diligently continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING:

For a period of six (6) months and three (3) days from the date hereof (the date of the conclusion of such period shall be referred to herein as the “Reconveyance Date”), except as set forth in that certain Escrow Agreement of even date herewith entered into by and among Beneficiary, Trustor, and Griffiths & Turner / GT Title Services, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Escrow Agreement”), (1) payment of (a) the indebtedness evidenced by the Buyer Trust Deed Note #1 dated of even date herewith in the original principal sum of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00), together with interest thereon, executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary, and any extensions, revisions, modifications, substitutions, or renewals thereof (“Note #1”); and (b) the indebtedness evidenced by the Buyer Trust Deed Note #2 dated of even date herewith in the original principal sum of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00), together with interest thereon, executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary, and any extensions, revisions, modifications, substitutions, or renewals thereof (“Note #2,” and together with Note #1, the “Notes”); (2) the performance of each agreement of Trustor herein contained; and (3) the payment of all sums expended or advanced by Beneficiary under or pursuant to the terms hereof, together with interest thereon as herein provided.
 
AND, Trustor hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that Trustor is the lawful owner of the Property, with good and marketable title, free and clear of all encumbrances, liens or charges, excepting only those matters currently of record.

TO PROTECT THE SECURITY OF THIS TRUST DEED, TRUSTOR AGREES:
 
1.   To keep the Property in good condition and repair; not to remove or demolish any building thereon; to materially comply with all laws, covenants and restrictions affecting the Property; and not to commit or permit waste thereof.

2.   To provide and maintain insurance, of such type or types and amounts as Beneficiary may reasonably require in writing (but in any event not to exceed the amount of the indebtedness secured hereby unless agreed to by Trustor) on the improvements now existing or hereafter erected or placed on the Property.

Trustor or any subsequent owner or purchaser of the Property shall have the right to substitute for a then existing policy of insurance, a policy of insurance issued by another insurance carrier at any time, provided Trustor provides notice to Beneficiary of such new insurance carrier within sixty (60) days of the issuance of a substitute insurance policy.

3.   To deliver to and maintain with Beneficiary until the earlier of (a) the indebtedness secured hereby is paid in full, or (b) the Reconveyance Date, such evidence of title as Beneficiary may reasonably require, including abstracts of title.
 
 
 
2

 

 
4.   To pay at least ten (10) days before delinquency all taxes and assessments affecting the Property; to pay, when due, all encumbrances, charges, and liens, with interest, on the Property or any part thereof, which at any time appear to be prior or superior hereto; and to pay all costs, fees, and expenses of this trust.

5.   To pay immediately and without demand all sums expended hereunder by Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest from date of expenditure at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid, and the repayment thereof shall be secured hereby.

IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED THAT:

6.   Should the Property or any part thereof be taken or damaged by reason of any public improvement or condemnation proceeding, or damaged by fire, or earthquake, or in any other manner, Beneficiary shall be entitled to all compensation, awards, and other payments or relief therefor, up to the full amount of the indebtedness secured hereby.

7.   As additional security, Trustor hereby assigns Beneficiary, during the continuance of these trusts, all rents, issues, royalties, and profits of the Property affected by this Trust Deed and of any personal property located thereon.  Until Trustor shall default in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, Trustor shall have the right to collect all such rents, issues, royalties, and profits earned prior to default as they become due and payable.  If Trustor shall default as aforesaid, Trustor’s right to collect any of such moneys shall cease and Beneficiary shall have the right, with or without taking possession of the Property affected hereby, to collect all rents, royalties, issues, and profits.

8.   Except as otherwise noted herein, if any default by Trustor hereunder is curable, then such default may be cured (and no default will have occurred) if Trustor, after receiving written notice from Beneficiary demanding cure of such default, either (a) cures such default within thirty (30) days, or (b) if the cure requires more than thirty (30) days, immediately initiates steps that Beneficiary deems in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion to be sufficient to cure such default and thereafter diligently continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

9.   Upon any uncured default by Trustor hereunder (after the conclusion of any cure period set forth in Section 8 above), Beneficiary may at any time upon not less than ten (10) days’ written notice to Trustor, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court (Trustor hereby consenting to the appointment of Beneficiary as such receiver), and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect the rents, issues, and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collec tion, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.

10.   The failure on the part of Beneficiary to promptly enforce any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such right and the waiver by Beneficiary of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default.

11.   Time is of the essence hereof.  Upon default by Trustor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, all sums secured hereby shall immediately become due and payable at the option of Beneficiary.  In the event of such default, Beneficiary may execute or cause Trustee to execute a written notice of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and Trustee shall file such notice for record in each county wherein the Property or some part or parcel thereof is situated.  Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee, the Notes and all documents evidencing expenditures s ecured hereby.

12.   After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of such notice of default, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property on the date and at the time and place designated in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine (but subject to any statutory right of Trustor to direct the order in which such Property, if consisting of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold), at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale. The person conducting the sale may, for any cause he deems expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided, if the sale is postponed for longer than one day beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale.  Trustor agrees to surrender possession immediately after any such sale of the Property, if possession has not previously been surrendered. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser its Deed conveying said property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.  Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale.  Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale to payment of (a) the costs and expenses of exercising the power of sale and of the sale, including the payment of Trustee’s an d attorneys’ fees; (b) cost of any evidence of title procured in connection with such sale and revenue stamps on Trustee’s Deed; (c) all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at ten percent (10%) per annum from date of expenditure; (d) all other sums then secured hereby; and (e) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

13.   From time to time, Beneficiary may require Trustee to reconvey, release and discharge from the operation of this Trust Deed any part or parts of the property described in this Trust Deed, given to secure payment of the indebtedness evidence by the Notes.  Trustee shall execute and deliver unto Beneficiary a written reconveyance and release upon receiving from Beneficiary a written request therefor.  Such written request shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and shall include a description of the Property to be reconveyed or released, a statement of the consideration, if any, rec eived by Beneficiary for such reconveyance or release, and a declaration that Beneficiary is the owner and holder of the debt mentioned in this Trust Deed and that the same has never been assigned or transferred. The partial reconveyance or release executed by Trustee shall identify this Trust Deed and describe the property to be reconveyed or released.  A partial reconveyance or release executed and delivered by Trustee under authority of this paragraph shall not affect or impair the security remaining under this Trust Deed. This Trust Deed need not accompany any request for a partial reconveyance or release, but upon demand of Trustee, Beneficiary will exhibit to Trustee the Notes.  Successive partial reconveyances or releases may be requested by Beneficiary.

14.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and provided Trustor is not in default under the Note as of such date, Beneficiary, by recording this Trust Deed, covenants to deliver to Trustee a Request for Reconveyance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B on the Reconveyance Date.

15.   Each abstract of title, title insurance policy, or all other evidences of title, and all insurance policies placed or deposited with Beneficiary shall be deemed an incident to the title of the Property herein described and upon sale or foreclosure or otherwise shall pass to the purchaser, and same are hereby pledged as additional security for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby.

16.   In the event Beneficiary and Trustee or either of them shall determine to foreclose this Trust Deed by court action, Trustor agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred therein and reasonable compensation for the attorneys representing Beneficiary and Trustee, or either of them.

17.   This Trust Deed shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and bind all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.  In this Trust Deed, whenever the context requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural.

18.   Any option, election, notice or right granted to Beneficiary may be exercised only by written approval of Beneficiary.

19.   If the loan secured by this Trust Deed is subject to a law which sets maximum loan charges, and that law is finally interpreted so that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with the loan exceed the permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from Trustor which exceed permitted limits will be refunded to Trustor.  Beneficiary may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal owed under the Notes or by making a direct payment to Trustor.

20.   If one or more riders are executed by Trustor and recorded together with this Trust Deed, the covenants and agreements of each such rider shall be incorporated into and shall amend and supplement the covenants and agreements of this Trust Deed as if the rider(s) were part of this Trust Deed.

21.   If any provision of this Trust Deed is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid for any reason such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Trust Deed.  The remaining provisions shall be fully severable, and this Trust Deed shall be construed and enforced as if the invalid provision had never been included herein.

22.   Trustee accepts this trust when this Trust Deed, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law.  Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Trust Deed or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary, or Trustee shall be a party, unless brought by Trustee.

23.   Trustee is authorized to reconvey or cause to be reconveyed this Trust Deed without further action or consent by Beneficiary in accordance with the terms of that certain Escrow Agreement of even date herewith by and among Trustor, Beneficiary and Griffiths & Turner / GT Title Services, Inc., a Utah corporation.

24.   This Trust Deed shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Utah.

25.   The undersigned Trustor requests that a copy of any notice of default and of any notice of sale hereunder be mailed to Trustor at the address hereinbefore set forth.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 15, 2010 by and among (a) Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Borrower”), (b) Aethlon Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Lender”), and (c) Griffiths & Turner / GT Title Services, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Escrow Agent”).

RECITALS

A.   Borrower has issued to Lender certain Buyer Trust Deed Notes dated July 15, 2010 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement of the same date.

B.   Borrower’s obligations under the Notes are secured by a Trust Deed (the “Trust Deed”) encumbering certain real property of Borrower, as more specifically set forth in the Trust Deed.

C.   Lender has executed a Request for Full Reconveyance in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Request”), which instructs Escrow Agent to execute and record a Deed of Reconveaynce in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Reconveyance”) reconvey the Trust Deed upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein.

D.   Pursuant to Section 5 of the Notes, Borrower and Lender have agreed to place the Request in escrow and Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Request in escrow subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Lender and Escrow Agent agree as follows:

TERMS

1.   Establishment of Escrow.  Upon the execution of the Notes, Lender shall deliver to Escrow Agent the Request, in original form and duly executed by Lender, to have and to hold until satisfaction of the conditions set forth below (the “Escrow”). Borrower shall deliver to Escrow Agent an executed Trust Deed to be recorded by Escrow Agent.
 
2.   Conditions for Reconveyance. Escrow Agent shall retain the Request until the earlier of (i) Escrow Agent’s receipt of written notice from Lender that the full amount of the Notes has been repaid, or (ii) the date that is six months and three days following the date the Trust Deed is recorded (the “Release Date”), at which time Escrow Agent shall execute and record th e Reconveyance; provided, however, that in the event Escrow Agent receives written notice from Lender stating that a Payment Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and specifically identifying both the nature of the Payment Default and the Note under which the Payment Default occurred, Escrow Agent shall retain the Request until the later of the Release Date or the date on which Escrow Agent receives written notice from Lender that the Payment Default has been cured. Upon such a cure of a Payment Default, Lender hereby covenants and agrees to promptly send written notice to Escrow Agent (a) indicating the Payment Default has been cured, and (b) so long as six months and three days have elapsed since the date the Trust Deed was recorded, instructing Escrow Agent to execute and record the Reconveyance. In the event of a dispute between Borrower and Lender with respect to whether the full amount of the Notes has been paid, or whether a Payment Def ault has occurred, Escrow Agent is permitted to interplead the Request into the District Court of the State of Utah pursuant to Section 7.b. below.

7.   Liability; Indemnification.  Escrow Agent shall perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein and, so long as it does so, shall have no liability to Borrower and Lender hereunder except to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to Borrower or Lender.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) , even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.  Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied.  Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.  Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the escrow account.  Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it.  Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinio n of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons.  In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or with any instructions, claims or demands from any other party hereto, it shall be permitted to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in Escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the parties hereto or by a final arbitration decision or a non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Borrower and Lender agree that the following provisions shall control with respect to the rights, duties, liabilities, and immunities of Escrow Agent:
 
a.   Escrow Agent is entitled to refrain from taking any action contemplated by this Agreement in the event that it becomes aware of any dispute between Borrower and Lender as to any facts or as to the happening of any contemplated event precedent to such action.  Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to comply with and obey all final nonappealable orders, judgments, decrees or writs entered or issued by any court or final decision of any arbitrator, and in the event Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such final nonappealable order, judgment, decree or writ of any court or final decision of any arbitrator, in whole or in part, after giving Borrower and Lender seven (7) days’ prior written notice, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto, nor to any other person or entity, by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding that it shall be determined that any such final nonappealable order, judgment, decree, writ, or final decision of a court or final decision of any arbitrator be entered without jurisdiction or be invalid for any reason or be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled or vacated.
 
 
3

 
 
b.   In the event any dispute shall arise between Borrower and Lender with respect to the disposition or delivery of the Request, or the occurrence of a Payment Default under a Note, Escrow Agent is permitted to interplead the Request into the District Court of the State of Utah, and thereafter shall be fully relieved from any and all liability or obligation with respect to the Request.  Borrower and Lender further agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with such a dispute without making Escrow Agent a party to same.
 
c.   Borrower and Lender shall each severally indemnify, defend and save harmless Escrow Agent and its directors, officers, agents and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from all loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and the cost and expense of any interpleader action as authorized under Section 7.b. above) arising out of or in connection with (i) Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Agreement, except in the case of any Indemnified Party to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, or (ii) its following any instructions or other directions executed by Borrower and Lender.  Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.
 
d.   In receiving the Escrow, Escrow Agent acts only as a depository for Borrower and Lender and assumes no responsibility except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  All of the terms and conditions in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities, and the rights of Borrower and Lender or anyone else with respect to Escrow Agent, are contained solely in this Agreement, and Escrow Agent is not expected or required to be familiar with the provisions of any other agreements, and shall not be charged with any responsibility or liability in connection with the observance of the provisions of any such other agreements.

IRREVOCABLE INSTRUCTIONS TO TRANSFER AGENT

Date:  July 15, 2010

To the transfer agent of Aethlon Medical, Inc.

 
Re: 
Instruction to Transfer Shares

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated as of July 15, 2010 (the “Note”), made by Aethlon Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay to Tonaquint, Inc, a Utah corporation, its successors and/or assigns (the “Holder”), the sum of $890,000.00.  The Note was issued pursuant to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of the date of the Note by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Note, at the option of the Holder, the Note may be converted into shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, the “Conversion Shares”).

Reference is also made to that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock dated as of the date of the Note (the “Warrant”), issued by the Company, pursuant to which the Holder may purchase shares of Common Stock.  All shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Warrant shall be referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.”  The Conversion Shares, together with the Warrant Shares are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares.”

This irrevocable letter of instructions shall serve as the authorization and direction of the Company to Computer Share or its successors as transfer agent to the Company, (“you” or “your” or the “Transfer Agent”) to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder, upon the order of the Holder, (i) upon conversion of the Note, (ii) upon exercise of the Warrant, as follows:

1.   You shall issue the Conversion Shares free of any restrictive legend to or at the direction of the Company upon conversion of all or a portion of the Note, upon delivery to you of (a) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Conversion (the “Notice of Conversion”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (b) a legal opinion as to the free transferability of the Shares from counsel, dated within 90 days from the date of conversion, to either the Holder or the Company; provided, however, that in the event the legal opinion is not provided as described above, you will issue the Conversion Shares subject to a restrictive legend.

2.   You shall issue the Warrant Shares to or at the direction of the Company upon exercise of all or a portion of the Warrant, upon delivery to you of (a) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise (the “Notice of Exercise”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and (b) a legal opinion as to the free transferability of the Shares from counsel (either to the Company or to the Holder) dated within 90 days from the exercise date, to either the Holder or the Company; provided, however, that in the event the legal opinion is not provided as described above, you will issue the Warrant Shares subject to a restrictive legend.
 
 
 

 
 
3.   In the case of a request for shares of Common Stock pursuant to Paragraphs 1 or 2 above, you shall, within five (5) Trading Days (as defined below) thereafter, (a) if you are eligible to participate in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock to the Holder’s or its designees’ balance account with DTC through the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, provided the Holder causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction, or (b) if you are not eligible to participate in the DWAC system, issue and deliver to the Holder, via a common carrier for overnight delivery, to the address as specified in the Notice of Conversion or the Notice of Exercise, as the case may be, a certificate or certificates, registered in the name of the Holder or its designees, for such number of shares of Common Stock as may be requested by the Holder to be transferred as set forth in the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise, as applicable, up to the number of Shares evidenced by the certificates.  For purposes hereof, “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for customary trading.  The Company and Holder understand that the Transfer Agent shall not be required to perform any issuances or transfers or Shares if (i) such an issuance or transfer of Shares is in violation of any state or federal securities laws or regulations, or (ii) th e issuances or transfer of Shares are prohibited or stopped as required or directed by a court order.

4.   You understand that a delay in the crediting of Shares or the delivery of certificates hereunder, as the case may be, could result in economic loss to the Holder and that time is of the essence in your processing of a Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise.

5.   To the extent the applicable Shares being issued will be certificated:

 
(a)
the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to Paragraph 1 above, if the date on which the Notice of Conversion is submitted to you is (i) more than twelve (12) months following the date of issuance of the Note, or (ii) more than six (6) months following the date of issuance of the Note and the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and

 
(b)
the certificates representing the Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to Paragraph 2 above, if the date on which the Notice of Exercise is submitted to you is (i) more than twelve (12) months following the date of issuance of the applicable Warrant, or (ii) more than six (6) months following the date of issuance of the applicable Warrant and the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,

shall (i) be in the name of the Holder, and (ii) not bear any legend restricting transfer and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions, and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, pursuant to the opinion of counsel to the Company or the Holder.  You will accept such opinion of counsel provided that it opines that the certificates may be issued without restrictive legend in accordance with the applicable securities laws of the United States.  The Company and the Holder understand that the Transfer Agent shall not be required to perform any issuances or transfers of Shares if (a) such an issuance or transfer of Shares is in violation of any state or federal securities laws or regulations, or (b) the issuances or transfer of Shares are prohi bited or stopped as required or directed by a court order.

6.   You shall rely exclusively on the Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise, as applicable, and shall have no liability for relying on such instructions.  Any Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise delivered hereunder shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to you to process such notice or notices in accordance with the terms thereof. Such notice or notices may be transmitted to you by fax or any commercially reasonable method.

7.   The Company hereby confirms to you and to the Holder that, assuming the Holder’s actions and requests are compliant with the transaction documents between the Holder and the Company, and the Holder’s actions and requests are not in violation of, or will not cause a violation of, any State or Federal securities laws or regulations, no instruction other than as contemplated herein will be given to you by the Company with respect to the matters referenced herein.  The Company hereby authorizes you, and you shall be obligated, to disregard any contrary instruction received by or on behalf of the Company or any other person purporting to represent the Company unless such contr ary instruction sets forth, in reasonable detail, why the Holder’s actions and requests are not compliant with the transaction documents between the Holder and the Company, or why, in the Company’s reasonable belief, the Holder’s actions and requests are in violation of, or will result in a violation of, any State or Federal securities laws or regulations.

8.   The Company hereby agrees to notify the Holder in the event of any replacement of Computer Share as the Transfer Agent.

9.    The Company acknowledges that the Holder is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company in this irrevocable letter of instructions and that the representations and covenants contained in this letter constitute a material inducement to the Holder to make the loan evidenced by the Note.  The Company further acknowledges that without such representations and covenants of the Company made in this letter, the Holder would not have made the loan to the Company evidenced by the Note.

10.          The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Holder will be irreparably damaged, and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this irrevocable letter of instructions were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to seek an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security for the protection of the Company, and/or to a decree for a specific performance of the provisions of this letter.
 
11.          By signing below, each individual executing this letter on behalf of an entity represents and warrants that he or she has authority to so execute this letter on behalf of such entity and thereby bind such entity to the terms and conditions hereof.
