         The Board of Directors of Aethlon Medical, Inc. (the "Company"), in a
telephonic Board Meeting held September 8, 2005 has deemed it fair and in the
best interest of the Corporation and its stockholders that the Corporation issue
to James A. Joyce an aggregate of 2,857,143 options to acquire restricted common
stock.

         The Optionee has agreed to immediately cancel $300,000 out of a total
liability owing to him from the Corporation of $364,966.20.

         All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
to them in the attached Appendix.

                                    AGREEMENT
                                    ---------

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee, as of
the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares
specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time
to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

         2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5.

         3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. During Optionee's lifetime, this option
shall be exercisable only by Optionee and shall not be assignable or
transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
following Optionee's death.

         4. DATES OF EXERCISE. This option shall become exercisable for the
Option Shares in as specified in the Grant Notice.

         5. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

         6. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have any
shareholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

                                       1

         7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. If the Company at any time proposes to register
any of its securities under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own
account or for the account of other security holders or both, provided the
Registrable Securities are not otherwise subject to an effective registration
statement, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities to be included
with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be
filed by the Company. In the event that any registration pursuant to this
Section 8 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of
Common Stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to
be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter
if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of
the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the
securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the
Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of any such reduction.
"Registrable Securities" means the number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock set forth on the first page of the Notice of Grant of Stock Option.

         10. MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

                  notice setting forth the number of Option Shares for which the
                  option is exercised.

                           (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the

                           of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for
                           services rendered;

                           exercise of an Option, and provided that a public
                           market for the Company's stock exists:

                                            (1) through a "same day sale"
                           commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that
                           is a member of the National Association of Securities
                           Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the Optionee
                           irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell
                           a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the
                           Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer
                           irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
                           forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company;
                           or

                                            (2) through a "margin" commitment
                           from the Optionee and a NASD Dealer whereby the
                           Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option
                           and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD
                           Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan
                           from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise
                           Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably
                           commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the
                           Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

                                    (E) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to
                           the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share
                           of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price
                           (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in
                           lieu of exercising this Option for cash, the Holder
                           may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as
                           determined below) of this Option (or the portion
                           thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Option
                           at the principal office of the Company together with
                           the properly endorsed written notice in which event
                           the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of
                           shares of Common Stock computed using the following
                           formula:

                                              X=Y (A-B)
                                                  -----

                           issued to the Holder.

                           Y= the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
                           under the Option or, if only a portion of the Option
                           is being exercised, the portion of the Option being
                           exercised (at the date of such calculation).

                           A= the Fair Market Value of one share of the
                           Company's Common Stock (at the date of such
                           calculation).

                           B= Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such
                           calculation).

                                    (F) By any combination of the foregoing.
                           Except to the extent the sale and remittance
                           procedure is utilized in connection with the option
                           exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must
                           accompany the written notice delivered to the Company
                           in connection with the option exercise.

                           (iii) Furnish to the Company appropriate
                           documentation that the person or persons exercising
                           the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to
                           exercise this option.

                           (iv) Execute and deliver to the Company such written
                           representations as may be requested by the Company in
                           order for it to comply with the applicable
                           requirements of federal and state securities laws.

                           (v) Make appropriate arrangements with the Company

                           income and employment tax withholding requirements
                           applicable to the option exercise.

                  (b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Company

exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the
appropriate legends affixed thereto.

                  (c) In no event may this option be exercised for any
fractional shares.

Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Company and

                  (b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any
regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the
lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall
relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of
the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The

at the address indicated below the Optionee's signature line on the Grant
Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to

    A.    Employee
      is currently employed by the Company as its Director of Marketing.

      Employee to remain in such employ and in exchange for Employee's covenants

    1.    Employment.
      The

    2.    Duties
      and Authority.

      with the foregoing and the other provisions of this Agreement. Employee agrees
      to devote Employee's entire business time, energy and skills to such employment.
      However, it is understood that Employee shall not be required to devote more
      than the usual and customary hours per calendar week to such employment as
      are
      generally expected of similarly situated employees of publicly-held companies.
      At all times, Employee shall be subject to the direction of the Company's
      President.

    

    3. Compensation

      within 30 days prior to the end of each fiscal year (but such annual base salary
      shall not be reduced to less than the prior year's annual base salary without
      Employee's written consent).

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)    Bonus
      Plan.
      Employee shall be eligible to receive a bonus annually, based on Employee's
      and
      the Company's financial performance, in the discretion of the Board of Directors
      and/or President.

    

    (c)    Expense
      Reimbursements.
      The
      Company shall reimburse Employee for actual out-of-pocket costs incurred for
      reasonable business expenses, other than automobile expenses (which are covered

      in effect from time to time.

      Employee shall be entitled to paid vacations of not more than three weeks each

      at
      such time. Unused vacation time for a calendar year shall not be carried over
      from one year to the next.

    

    (f)    Health

    (i)    This
      Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time for Cause (as hereinafter
      defined), and in such event Employee shall not be entitled to receive any
      further compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall

      by
      Employee in the course of Employee's employment with the Company, or the
      commission of a felony.

    

    (ii)    In
      the
      event that Employee voluntarily terminates Employee's employment by the Company,
      Employee shall not be entitled to receive any further compensation; provided,
      however, that if such voluntary termination occurs at any time after Employee
      has completed three (3) months of employment
      by the
      Company after the occurrence of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined),
      Employee shall be entitled to receive severance benefits for a period of twelve
      (12) months after the date of termination or until Employee secures new
      employment, whichever is shorter, consisting of the following:

    

    
      	 	
              A.

            	
              Employee's
                base salary, and

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              B.

            	
              The
                amount which the Company pays for group health insurance benefits
                with
                respect to such Employee and Employee's family and the continuation
                of
                Employee's company provided life insurance or equivalent coverage,
                and

            

    

    

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    
      	 	
              C.

            	
              Continuation
                of use of the company car or an equivalent car
                allowance.

            

    

    

    (iii)    Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary herein, Employee's employment hereunder may be
      terminated by the Company without Cause at any time either prior to or after
      a
      Change in Control (as hereinafter defined); however, in such event, Company
      shall pay Employee for a period of 12 months after the date of termination
      as
      severance benefits consisting of the following:

    

    
      	 	
              A.

            	
              Employee's
                base salary, and

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              B.

            	
              The
                amount which the Company pays for group health insurance benefits
                with
                respect to such
                Employee and Employee's family and the continuation of Employee's
                company
                provided life insurance or equivalent coverage,
                and

            

    

    

    
      	 	
              C.

            	
              Continuation
                of
                use of the company car or an equivalent car
                allowance.

            

    

    

    A
      termination without Cause shall be deemed to have occurred if Company, without
      Employee's consent, materially reduces Employee's responsibilities, reduces
      Employee's salary or requires Employee to relocate or transfer to a site further
      than 30 miles from Employee's current place of employment.

    

    The
      term
      "Change in Control" shall mean a sale, assignment or exchange of more than
      51%
      of the voting stock outstanding immediately after such sale or the sale,
      assignment or exchange of substantially all of the assets of the Company. The
      date of the Change in Control shall mean the date upon which a sale is closed,
      or in a series of transactions, the date upon which beneficial ownership of
      the
      voting stock or assets is transferred.

    

    All
      amounts payable to Employee under this Section 3 shall be paid in normal payroll
      installments on normal payroll dates less all applicable withholding. Except
      as
      otherwise provided in this Section 3, as of the effective date of termination,
      all obligations of the Company to pay Employee compensation shall terminate
      and
      the Company shall have no further obligation to Employee after the date of
      termination.

    

    Upon
      termination of employment for any reason, Employee will deliver to the Company
      all data, records and information, including without limitation, all documents,
      correspondence, files, notebooks, reports, computer programs, software, manuals,
      customer information, samples and all other materials and copies thereof
      relating to the Company's business which Employee may possess or which are
      under
      Employee's control.

    

    4.    Options.
      In the
      event of a Change in Control of the Company as those terms are defined in the
      Agreement, stock options held by Employee shall become immediately exercisable
      without regard to vesting and/or applicable benchmarks unless the agreement
      governing the exercise of such options contains provisions expressly to the
      contrary. In the event of a sale or exchange of assets or stock anticipated
      to
      constitute a Change in Control, the Company agrees that it shall make provisions
      for the conversion or exchange of shares to be received upon the exercise of
      such options for the consideration to be received by stockholders of the Company
      generally; provided, however, that Employee may be required to provide to the
      Company an irrevocable notice of exercise a reasonable period of time prior
      to
      the actual closing date to facilitate such exchange.

    5.    Confidentiality.
      Employee covenants that Employee shall at all times keep confidential the
      Company's financial statements and other financial information, except to the
      extent (a) disclosure of financial information (but not financial statements)
      is
      incidental to the performance of Employee's duties for the Company, (b)
      disclosure is required by applicable law, or (c) the Company's Board of
      Directors authorizes disclosure.

    

    6.    Other
      Company Employees.
      For a
      period of one year from the date Employee's employment by the Company
      terminates, Employee shall not (a) solicit another Company employee to leave
      the
      Company's employ and work for the Employee or another person or entity, or
      (b)
