On behalf of Alector, LLC (the “Company”), I am pleased to inform you that you have been awarded a cash retention bonus of $180,000 (the “Retention Bonus”), which will be paid (less applicable withholdings) on the following dates (each, a “Retention Date”), subject to your continued employment with the Company through each such Retention Date: 

	
 
	
•
	
50% of the Retention Bonus will be paid on the first payroll date on or following September 30, 2021; and 

	
 
	
•
	
50% of the Retention Bonus will be paid on the first payroll date on or following March 31, 2022.

If you experience an Involuntary Termination (as defined in Exhibit A) before either Retention Date, then subject to your executing and not revoking a release of claims in a form approved by the Company (a “Release”) that becomes effective and irrevocable within 30 days after the date of your Involuntary Termination, any remaining unpaid portions of the Retention Bonus will be paid to you on the first payroll date of the Company after the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.  If your employment with us terminates before the second Retention Date for any reason other than an Involuntary Termination, you will forfeit any remaining unpaid portions of the Retention Bonus.

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is supplemental to and not in lieu of your and the Company’s rights and obligations under the confirmatory offer letter between you and the Company dated January 26, 2019 (the “Offer Letter”), including that your employment with the Company remains at-will, meaning either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause or notice.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements and understandings between you and the Company with respect to any related subject matter, provided however, the Offer Letter remains in full force and effect.  This letter agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California (other than its choice-of-law provisions).  

Please return a signed copy of this letter agreement to me and retain a copy for your records.  

Sincerely,
