Exhibit 10.1

UNIT SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

The undersigned (hereinafter the "SUBSCRIBER") hereby confirms the
Subscriber's subscription for the purchase of Units consisting of (i) one share
of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of AETHLON
MEDICAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), and (ii) a three-year
warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (each, a
"WARRANT" and collectively, the "WARRANTS") on the terms described below.

The Units are sometimes referred to herein as the "SECURITIES."

In connection with this subscription, the Subscriber and the Company
agree as follows:

A. SUBSCRIPTION OF THE SUBSCRIBER.

1. PURCHASE OF UNITS. The Subscriber hereby irrevocably agrees,
represents and warrants with, to and for the benefit of the Company, that the
Subscriber is executing this Agreement in connection with the subscription by
the Subscriber for Units of the Company, resulting in the aggregate purchase
price set forth on the Subscriber's signature page hereto based upon the Issue
Price (as defined herein). The Subscriber understands that the Company is
relying upon the accuracy and completeness of the information contained herein
in complying with its obligations under federal and state securities and other
applicable laws. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon
execution and delivery hereof by the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby agrees to
purchase the Units pursuant to the transaction hereof, and against concurrent
delivery of the purchase price for such shares. The date upon which the final
subscription is accepted by the Company and the full Issue Price has been
tendered to the Company, shall be known as the "CLOSING DATE."

2. OFFERING. This offering of the Units (the "OFFERING") is being made
to a limited group of investors, all of whom shall represent to the Company
pursuant to this Agreement that they are "ACCREDITED INVESTORS," as that term is
defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "SECURITIES ACT") or who have otherwise been qualified as investors by the
Company. All of the Units offered hereby are being sold by the Company. The
Company is offering the Units for the consideration set forth herein. The
Company may sell less than all of the Units offered hereby, and shall be
entitled to accept subscriptions and receive the Issue Price for each
subscription prior to the entire Offering being subscribed for. The Offering is
being made on a "best efforts" basis. The minimum subscription amount per
investor is $20,000. The maximum offering by the Company is $1,000,000 worth of
Units.

3. ISSUE PRICE. The "ISSUE PRICE" of the Units shall be equal to $0.25.

B. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBER. The Subscriber hereby
represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof:

1. PLACE OF BUSINESS. The principal place of business address (or
residence) set forth below is the Subscriber's true and correct principal place
of business and is the only jurisdiction in which an offer to sell the Units was
made to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber has no present intention of moving



the Subscriber's principal place of business to or of becoming a resident of any
other state or jurisdiction.

2. SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE COMMON STOCK . The Subscriber understands
that the Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants have not been
registered under the Securities Act, or under the laws of any other
jurisdiction. The Subscriber understands and agrees that transfer or sale of the
Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants may be restricted or
prohibited unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and,
where required, under the laws of other jurisdictions or an exemption from
registration is available. The Subscriber will not offer, sell, transfer or
assign the Subscriber's Common Stock or any interest therein and the shares
underlying the Warrants in contravention of this Agreement, the Securities Act
or any state or federal law. The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that,
because of the substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Common
Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants, it may not be possible for the
Subscriber to liquidate the Subscriber's investment in the Company readily, even
in the case of an emergency.

3. REPRESENTATION OF ACCREDITED INVESTOR STATUS, INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE
AND ABILITY TO BEAR RISK. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering has not
been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any other
securities commission or authority of any other jurisdiction) because the
Company is relying on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. THE SUBSCRIBER BELIEVES
