Dear Xxxxx,

This letter will serve as an addendum to your original Employment Agreement dated February 3, 2010 and is hereby made part of the agreement.

Said agreement is amended as follows:

·   Effective September 1, 2011, you will be entitled to an annual salary of $170,000, payable in accordance with ZBB’s normal salaried payroll practices.  The CEO will review, at least annually, your overall compensation with a view to increasing it if, in the sole judgment of the CEO, the performance of ZBB or your services merit such an increase.

·   ZBB shall be entitled to withhold from amounts to be paid to you hereunder any federal, state, or local withholding or other taxes or charges which it is required to withhold under applicable law.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

 Very truly yours,
