We develop a class of integrals on a manifold\ M\ called\ exponential iterated integrals \ , an extension of K.T. Chen\&$\#$39;s iterated integrals. It is shown that the matrix entries of any upper triangular representation of\ π1(M,x)\ can be expressed via these new integrals. The ring of exponential iterated integrals contains the coordinate rings for a class of universal representations, called the\ relative solvable completions \ \ of\ π1(M,x). We consider exponential iterated integrals in the particular case of fibered knot complements, where the fundamental group always has a faithful relative solvable completion.
