(formerly the ZBB Energy Corporation 2010 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan)







This Amendment No. 3 (the "Amendment"), dated September 17, 2015, of the 2010 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Existing Plan"; as amended hereby, the "Plan"), of EnSync, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), is made and adopted by the Company, subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company.


Statement of Purpose







The Existing Plan was originally approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") on August 26, 2010, and by its shareholders on November 10, 2010, and became effective on such date.  The Existing Plan was previously amended pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 1, effective upon shareholder approval on November 7, 2012, and that certain Amendment No. 2, effective upon shareholder approval on September 17, 2014.  The Board may amend the Existing Plan at any time, pursuant to and subject to Section 5.2 of the Existing Plan, contingent on approval by the shareholders of the Company, if shareholder approval is required by applicable securities exchange rules or applicable law.  The Board has determined that it is advisable and in the best interest of the Company to amend the Existing Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01, authorized for issuance under the Existing Plan by 5,000,000 shares.


NOW, THEREFORE, the Existing Plan is hereby amended as follows, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company:

All of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be available for issuance under Incentive Stock Options.  Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time.
