ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

On October 16, 2015, following a recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of Aethlon Medical, Inc. (“we”) approved retention bonus grants to three of our executive officers under a newly established Aethlon Senior Management Retention Program to maintain management stability going forward. The Board approved a $100,000 retention bonus for Mr. James A. Joyce, our Chief Executive Officer, a $50,000 retention bonus for Mr. Rodney S. Kenley, our President, and a $50,000 retention bonus for Mr. James B. Frakes, our Chief Financial Officer.

In connection with the bonus granted to Mr. Joyce, we entered into an amendment of Mr. Joyce’s Employment Agreement dated April 1, 1999. Pursuant to the amendment, if within two years of the effective date of the amendment, we terminate Mr. Joyce’s employment with us for “Cause” (as defined in his employment agreement) or Mr. Joyce terminates his employment with us other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Joyce must repay in full the amount of the bonus received from us. In the event of his death or disability or termination by us other than for “Cause” or termination by Mr. Joyce for “Good Reason,” Mr. Joyce will not be required to repay any portion of the bonus received by him.

In connection with the bonus granted to Mr. Kenley, we entered into an amendment of Mr. Kenley’s Offer Letter dated October 27, 2010. Pursuant to the amendment, if within two years of the effective date of the amendment, we terminate Mr. Kenley’s employment with us for “Cause” (as defined in the amendment) or Mr. Kenley terminates his employment with us other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the amendment), Mr. Kenley must repay in full the amount of the bonus received from us. In the event of his death or disability or termination by us other than for “Cause” or termination by Mr. Kenley for “Good Reason,” Mr. Kenley will not be required to repay any portion of the bonus received by him.

In connection with the bonus granted to Mr. Frakes, we entered into a Retention Bonus Agreement with Mr. Frakes. Pursuant to the agreement, if within two years of the effective date of the agreement, we terminate Mr. Frakes’ employment with us for “Cause” (as defined in the agreement) or Mr. Frakes terminates his employment with us other than for “Good Reason” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Frakes must repay in full the amount of the bonus received from us. In the event of his death or disability or termination by us other than for “Cause” or termination by Mr. Frakes for “Good Reason,” Mr. Frakes will not be required to repay any portion of the bonus received by him.

The foregoing descriptions of the Joyce and Kenley amendments and the Frakes agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.

AMENDMENT NO. 1

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement (this “Amendment”) is made as of October 16, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) between Aethlon Medical, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and James A. Joyce (“Executive”). The Company and Executive are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to that certain Employment Agreement dated April 1, 1999 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to ensure the continued service of Executive and desires to maintain continuity in the management of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given such terms in the Employment Agreement.

2. Retention Bonus.

a. Subject to Section 2(c) below, the Company shall pay Executive a retention bonus of $100,000 (the “Retention Bonus”). The full amount of the Retention Bonus (less applicable withholding taxes) shall be paid to Executive in a lump-sum payment within five (5) days of the Effective Date.

b. Executive’s entitlement to the Retention Bonus hereunder is in addition to any other compensation and/or benefits to which Executive otherwise is entitled pursuant to the Employment Agreement or any other agreement between Executive and the Company.

c. Termination of Executive’s employment with the Company prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall result in the following with respect to the Retention Bonus:

i. If such termination is by the Company for “Cause” or by Executive for other than “Good Reason,” the Retention Bonus shall be deemed forfeit and unearned by Executive. In such event, Executive shall repay, within fifteen (15) days of the termination date, the full amount of the Retention Bonus previously paid to Executive. Upon such repayment, the Company shall issue to Executive an amended Form W-2 for the year that originally included the bonus payment as compensation in order to reflect the reduction in compensation resulting from the repayment. The Company shall be entitled, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to offset any amounts otherwise payable to Executive by the Company in connection with or following Executive’s termination of employment by the repayment amount due to the Company from Executive hereunder.

ii. If such termination is due to Executive’s death or disability or is by the Company other than for “Cause” or by Executive for Good Reason, the Retention Bonus shall be deemed fully earned and Executive (or Executive’s estate) shall not be required to repay any portion of the Retention Bonus previously paid to Executive.

3. Employment Agreement. Except to the extent specifically modified hereby, the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, including Article III of the Employment Agreement with respect to Executive’s or the Company’s entitlement to terminate Executive’s employment at any time.

4. Survival. Section 2 hereof shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or the termination of the Employment Agreement.
