 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 the Company in the position of Lead of Finance
and Operations, reporting to the CEO or his or her designate. You will perform or fulfil 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 Company and its managers. You will adhere to all applicable policies of the Company as established and amended from time to time. You
acknowledge and agree that as a developing company in Canada, you will need to be flexible in performing duties the Company asks you to perform from time to time, and in the position you occupy, your place of work and the person or position you
report to. As the Company changes and grows, you may be required to change the scope of your position and duties, move to another location, change your title, and/or report to a different level of management. Such changes will not involve a
reduction in compensation and you agree that no such changes will amount to a repudiation of this Agreement, constructive dismissal or termination of your employment. 















	 	(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 CAD $90,000.00 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”). The Base Salary is based on a
fifty (50) hour workweek, consisting of forty (40) regular hours per week at the rate of CAD $31.49 per hour and ten (10) hours of prepaid overtime at the time-and-a-half rate of CAD $47.21 per hour. Your hours of work and schedule may change from time to time depending on operational needs, and you may be required to work evenings and weekends. You must

	 	(f)	 Prepaid Overtime Bank. The ten (10) hours of prepaid overtime accrued by you every week will form a
prepaid overtime bank (“Paid Overtime Bank”) against which all Additional Overtime you work will be debited. Additional Overtime worked and reported by you will be debited against the Paid Overtime Bank. In the event the Paid Overtime Bank
has no accrued overtime, the Additional Overtime will be credited to you and deducted from subsequent prepaid overtime. At the end of the calendar year, the Paid Overtime Bank will be accounted for as follows:

Overtime Bank will be waived by the Company; and

 Dear Veronique: 

 

	Re:	 Amendment of Employment Agreement to Increase Base Salary Compensation 



In recognition of your performance and excellent contributions to AbCellera, I would like to offer you an increase in your base compensation for your ongoing
employment, from CAD $150,000 per annum to CAD $180,000 per annum. 
 Effective January 1, 2019, your employment agreement will be amended as follows:

 Article 1a will be replaced with 
  

	 	(a)	 Position and Responsibilities: You will be employed by the Company in the position of Chief Operating
Officer, reporting to the CEO or his or her designate. You will perform or fulfil 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 Company and its managers. You will adhere to all applicable policies of the Company as established and amended from time to time. You
acknowledge and agree that as a developing company in Canada, you will need to be flexible in performing duties the Company asks you to perform from time to time, and in the position you occupy, your place of work and the person or position you
report to. As the Company changes and grows, you may be required to change the scope of your position and duties, move to another location, change your title, and/or report to a different level of management. Such changes will not involve a
reduction in compensation and you agree that no such changes will amount to a repudiation of this Agreement, constructive dismissal or termination of your employment. 



Article 1c will be replaced with 
  

	 	(c)	 Base Compensation: You will earn a base salary in the amount of CAD $180,000 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”). The Base Salary is based on a fifty (50) hour workweek,
consisting of forty (40) regular hours per week at the rate of CAD $62.94 per hour and ten (10) hours of prepaid overtime at the time-and-a-half rate of CAD $94.41 per hour. Your hours of work and schedule may change from time to time
depending on operational needs, and you may be required to work evenings and weekends. You must obtain prior approval from a manager before working any unscheduled hours. You must accurately report all unscheduled hours you work, whether approved or
not, in the pay period in which you work such hours. 


 Article 1n will be added 

 

	 	(n)	 Incentive Program: You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Annual Employee
Incentive Program. The incentive target for your position is 20% of Base Salary based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of your performance and achievement of annual goals that have been approved by the Board. 



To accept this amendment please sign and return this letter to
                    . I want to sincerely express my appreciation for your work and contributions to AbCellera.
