The terms of this agreement will take effect on August 22nd 2019 (the “Effective Date”),
and will continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Please review the terms of this Agreement carefully. If you wish to accept these terms of employment, please sign and return a copy of this agreement to me at
             before July 12, 2019. 
 In consideration for the compensation provided under
this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, you agree as follows: 
  

	1.	 Employment 



The terms of your employment will be as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	 Position and Responsibilities: You will be employed by Lineage in the position of General Counsel to the
Company, reporting to the CEO and the Board. In this position you will have primary responsibility for overseeing the Company’s legal matters, developing and executing company intellectual property strategy and competitive intelligence,
overseeing regulatory matters related to clinical trials and product approval, supporting business development activities and contracting, overseeing legal matters connected with company financings and other business dealings, managing external
legal services, providing training to the Company on substantive legal and ethical issues, providing legal counsel to the CEO and Board on disputes that may lead to litigation and in consultation with the CEO and Board representing or overseeing the
representation of the Company in litigation, settlements, administrative hearings, and arbitrations, and working closely with the CEO, executives, and management to define and execute new business initiatives and internal policies and procedures.
You will perform or fulfill all duties and responsibilities of your position, subject to applicable laws, and the duties and responsibilities that the Company may reasonably assign to you from time to time. You will at all times conform to the
reasonable and lawful instructions and directions of the Board. You will adhere to all applicable policies of the Company as established and amended from time to time. 















	 	(b)	 Duties: During your employment you will devote the whole of your time, attention and abilities to your
duties, which you agree to carry out faithfully, honestly, diligently and to the best of your ability. You agree to give the Company the full benefit of your knowledge, expertise, skill and ingenuity, and exercise the degree of care, diligence and
skill that a prudent professional would exercise in comparable circumstances. You may not engage in other work or business activities without the Company’s prior written consent. 



 

	 	(c)	 Base Compensation: You will earn a base salary in the amount of USD $320K per annum, less statutory and
other required deductions for all work and services you perform for the Company, paid to you bi-monthly in 24 equal payments, in arrears (the “Base Salary”). Your base salary compensation will
be reviewed periodically by the Company compensation committee elected by the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), which shall determine and recommend any adjustments to your annual base salary compensation. 



 

	 	(d)	 Vacation Entitlement: You will be eligible to earn up to five (5) weeks paid vacation per
annum pro-rated for any partial year of employment. Your vacation must be taken with prior notice and at a time or times acceptable to the CEO. 



 

	 	(e)	 Benefits: You will be eligible to participate in applicable employee benefits plans such as, or
comparable with, those the Company offers its Canadian-based employees from time to time (the “Employee Benefits”). The Employee Benefits will be fair to market and will include extended health benefits, short- and long-term
disability benefits, and life insurance benefits. If at the time of your employment an extended health benefits plan is not in place for US-based employees of Lineage, you will secure suitable private health
care coverage (medical and dental) which will be reimbursed by the Company. You further hereby acknowledge that some benefits, including short- and long-term disability benefits, will be put in place before the end of 2019 and are therefore not

amounts, terms of benefits and deductibles. 


  

	 	(f)	 Incentive Program: You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Annual Employee

a grant of 200,000 new stock options in AbCellera Biologics Inc. that will vest over a 4-year period with a one-year cliff: the first 50,000 options will vest on the
first anniversary of your start date, and the remaining 150,000 options will vest at a rate of 12,500 options (150,000 ÷ 3 ÷ 4 = 12,500) every three months thereafter. The Option is granted under the terms of the Plan.

creates any obligation on behalf of the Company to any third party, and you will not incorporate any third party or publicly available software, in whole or in part, into any Development, and you will not use any such software, in whole or in part,
in a manner that may subject any Development to any license obligations of any third party. 















	4.	 Restrictive Covenants

from competing businesses; and

providing you with severance equal to base salary- for a period of 6 months plus an additional month for every year of service rendered to the Company, up to a maximum of 12 months. 















	 	(d)	 Garden Leave: Once notice of resignation or termination has been given by you or the Company, the
Company may excuse you from the performance of your duties and/or exclude you from any premises of the Company or any Affiliated Company. Base Salary and other contractual benefits shall continue to be paid or provided to you until the last day of
the notice period, subject to the terms of the governing agreements or plans. During any period where you are excused from your duties and/or excluded from the Company’s premises, you shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company,
contact (either directly or indirectly) any clients, customers, suppliers or employees of the Company or any Affiliated Company. At any time, the Company may require you to return to the Company all property in your possession or under your control

repayment. 


  

	7.	 Severability 



If any part, article, section, clause, paragraph or subparagraph of this Agreement is held to be indefinite, invalid, illegal or otherwise voidable or
unenforceable for any reason, the entire Agreement will not fail on the account thereof and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will in no way be affected or impaired thereby. Further, if any provision of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geography, or subject, said court will deem and interpret such provision to be valid and enforceable to the maximum duration, activity,
geographic extent, and subject permissible under applicable law. 
  

	8.	 Entire Agreement 



This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter herein and cancels and supersedes all previous
invitations, proposals, letters, correspondence, negotiations, promises, agreements, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. There is no representation, warranty, collateral term or
condition affecting this Agreement for which any Party can be held responsible in any way, other than as expressed in writing in this Agreement. No change or modification of this Agreement will be valid unless it is in writing and signed by both
Parties. 
  

	9.	 Non-waiver 



No failure or delay by you or the Company in exercising any power or right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such power or right. Any consent or
waiver by any Party to this Agreement to any breach or default under this Agreement will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. 













	10.	 Survival of Terms 



The provisions of sections 2(e), 3, 4, 6(h), 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement will survive the termination of your employment, as well

The Parties will execute and deliver any documents and perform any acts necessary to carry- out the intent of this Agreement. 

 

	12.	 Equitable Remedies 



You hereby acknowledge and agree that a breach of your obligations under this Agreement would result in damages to the Company that could not be adequately
compensated for by monetary award. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach by you, in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled as a matter of right to apply to a Court of
competent jurisdiction for such relief by way of restraining order, injunction, decree or otherwise, as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	13.	 Dispute Resolution 



In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with it or from it, which
