THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is made as of July 13, 2015 (“Effective Date”), by and between ZBB Energy Corporation (“ZBB” or the “Company”) and Bradley Hansen (“you”).

2. The first sentence of Section 1(a) is deleted and replaced with the following: “You will serve as the Company’s President and CEO, reporting to the Board of Directors, and performing the duties customarily associated with that position, or as may later be explicitly agreed upon between the parties.”
3. The term “COO” is deleted in Section 1(d) and replaced with “CEO”.
4. The number $245,000 in Section 2(a) is deleted and replaced with $300,000.

6. The following clauses are added to Section 4:
(c) Upon receipt of shareholder approval for any required increase in authorized shares under the Company’s articles of incorporation and/or equity plans, you will also be granted 1,500,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
(i) The RSUs will vest upon the Compensation Committee’s confirmation that certain performance targets are met as described in Exhibit A to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement provided to you (see Attachment I).
The RSUs will have such other terms and conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (Attachment I).
7. Section 5 is deleted and replaced with the following:

(c) You have informed the Company that in your role as founder of PowerSav Inc. you have some concern regarding your ability to effect the monetization of PowerSav’s investment in ZBB Powersav Holding Limited (“Meineng Holdco”) on a timely basis given the fact that the employment term extends beyond the time that PowerSav Inc.’s investors expect liquidity for their investment. In recognition of this concern, the Company hereby covenant and agrees with you to use reasonable efforts to enable PowerSav to monetize its investment in Meineng Holdco by no later than December 31, 2015, such efforts to include the Company’s and/or Solar Power Inc.’s consideration of the purchase of such investment or good faith effort to secure a third party investor.

9. This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment to be effective as of the Effective Date set forth above.
