(the “Executive”)

WHEREAS:

A. The Executive was employed by Zymeworks since September 8, 2003, pursuant to an amended and restated employment agreement dated January 17, 2017 (the “Employment Agreement”);

B. The Executive and Zymeworks have mutually agreed that the Executive’s employment will terminate on the date the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer commences employment with the Company (the “Termination Date”), which is expected to occur on or about February 1, 2022, or sooner; and

C. The Executive and Zymeworks have reached an agreement to fully and finally settle any matters in relation to the Executive’s employment and the termination of that employment on the terms and conditions set out in this Separation Agreement and Release.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL PROMISES AND COVENANTS CONTAINED HEREIN:

1. The Parties acknowledge, agree and confirm as follows:

(a) The Executive will submit his resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer of Zymeworks and any positions held at affiliated companies, in all cases, effective as of the Termination Date and Zymeworks shall accept that resignation effective as of the Termination Date.

(b) The Executive shall resign as a director of Zymeworks and any affiliated company, in all cases, effective as of the Termination Date.

(c) Zymeworks shall pay to the Executive any unpaid salary and any accrued but unused vacation pay up through the Termination Date.

(d) In accordance with past precedent set by the Company, the Company agrees to provide the Executive with a laptop comparable to the one he has been using in discharge of his duties as an employee of the Company following the Termination Date.

(e) Subject to Executive satisfactorily performing his duties as Chief Executive Officer of the Company through the Termination Date, Zymeworks shall, following the Termination Date, pay to the Executive an amount of US$889,638, which is the equivalent of eighteen (18) months of the Executive’s current salary. Zymeworks is agreeable to paying this amount in a lump sum in a tax-favourable manner as may be directed by the Executive, subject to applicable income tax requirements.

(f) Zymeworks shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Zymeworks bonus plan governing Executive’s annual performance bonus for the 2021 calendar year, pay Executive an amount equal to the cash bonus Executive would have received had Executive remained employed with Zymeworks through the bonus payment date, with such bonus calculated based on actual achievement of the applicable performance goals under this bonus plan as determined by the Board. This bonus, if any, shall be paid in a lump sum at the same time as the Zymeworks other senior executives receive their 2021 bonus, if any, and subject to applicable income tax requirements.

(g) Zymeworks shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable benefit plan, maintain all employee benefit plans for the lesser of (i) an eighteen (18) month period from the Termination Date or (ii) the date the Executive enrolls in the benefit plans of a new employer.

(h) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no later than the Termination Date), Zymeworks and the Executive shall enter into the Consulting Services Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Consulting Services Agreement”) whereby the Executive shall assist with certain transitional matters at the request and direction of Zymeworks on an as needed basis. The Consulting Services Agreement shall commence on the Termination Date and shall cease on September 30, 2023 (subject to earlier termination as described in the Consulting Services Agreement). The Executive shall remain an “Option Holder” under the terms of Zymeworks’ Second Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Pre-IPO Plan”) and a “Participant” under the terms of Zymeworks’ Amended and Restated Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan (this plan or the Pre-IPO Plan, an “Equity Plan”) for the duration of the term of the Consulting Services Agreement, and accordingly will be afforded the vesting and exercise benefits as set forth in clause (i) below.

2

(i) As of the date hereof, the Executive has 1,129,991 vested and unexercised Zymeworks stock options and 294,323 unvested Zymeworks stock options. Vesting of the Executive’s Zymeworks stock options shall continue to vest and become exercisable through the Termination Date and over the term of the Consulting Services Agreement in accordance with the terms of the applicable Equity Plan and applicable award agreement, and cease on termination of the Consulting Services Agreement. Any remaining unvested Zymeworks stock options shall be forfeited on the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the applicable Equity Plan, the Executive shall have ninety (90) days from the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement to exercise any vested Zymeworks stock options unless such options expire by their terms before the end of such ninety (90) day period.

(j) As of the date hereof, the Executive has 40,417 of unvested Zymeworks restricted stock units, which will continue to vest through the Termination Date and over the term of the Consulting Services Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Equity Plan and applicable award agreement. Any remaining unvested Zymeworks restricted stock units shall be forfeited on the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement.

(k) Following the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement and provided that the Executive (i) had satisfactorily performed his duties as Chief Executive Officer between the date of this Agreement and the Termination Date and (ii) timely executes the Supplemental Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Supplemental Release”), then the Company agrees to extend the period of time in which the Executive has to exercise each of his outstanding and vested Company stock options as of the date of the termination of the Consulting Services Agreement for an additional twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but, in no case, later than the original maximum term of such Company stock option), subject to earlier termination upon a “change of control,” “substantial sale,” or other similar provision in the applicable Company stock plan governing such stock option grant.

(l) Zymeworks shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and documented business expenses actually and properly incurred by the Executive in relation to Zymeworks’ business up to the Termination Date.

(m) The Executive shall as of the Termination Date return all books of account, records, reports and other documents, materials and property belonging to Zymeworks that are in the Executive’s possession or control.

(n) All payments provided hereunder will be made in a timely manner, subject to the execution of this Separation Agreement and Release, and shall be subject to applicable statutory withholdings.

(o) The Executive reaffirms that he remains bound by the terms of Article 5 – Confidentiality – and Article 6 – Restrictive Covenants – of the Employment Agreement and that those provisions survive the termination of the Employment Agreement and the Executive’s employment with Zymeworks. The Company agrees that the Employment Agreement shall be amended by inserting the following sentence to the end of Section 6.2 thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall not be restricted from being employed or engaged by a venture capital firm that invests in any business that competes with the Business of the Company, so long as the Employee does not participate in, advise with respect to, or otherwise have responsibilities associated with the conduct or operations of any competing business that is engaged in the research and development of bispecific antibodies targeting HER2 in which the venture capital firm invests.

3

(p) The Executive reaffirms that he remains bound by the terms of all Company policies and procedures applicable to the Executive following his Termination Date, including, but not limited, to the Company’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy.

2. The Executive acknowledges that without this Separation Agreement and Release, the Executive is otherwise not entitled to the consideration listed in paragraphs (d) through (k) of Section 1, which is inclusive of, and exceeds, any and all common law, statutory, and contractual entitlements the Executive may have. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Executive’s separation from employment with Zymeworks is the result of a mutually agreed-upon voluntary resignation and, as a result, the Executive has not experienced a termination without “Cause” as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement, that all consideration described in this Separation Agreement and Release is in lieu of any severance payments or benefits under Article 4 of the Employment Agreement, and that the Executive is not entitled to any severance or other benefits under the Employment Agreement. In consideration of Zymeworks entering into this Separation Agreement and Release and the Consulting Services Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the Executive hereby remises, releases and forever discharges Zymeworks, its affiliated companies, and as applicable all of their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, executives, agents, successors, administrators, executors, heirs and assigns of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, accounts, costs, legal costs, contracts, claims and demands of every nature or kind, statutory or otherwise, including any claims made pursuant to the Employment Standards Act (BC), the Human Rights Code (BC) and any similar applicable legislation, which the Executive, and, as applicable, the Executive’s agents, Executives, successors, administrators, executors, heirs and assigns now have or at any time hereafter can, shall or may have in any way arising or resulting from any cause, matter, or anything whatsoever existing up to and including the present time with respect to the Executive’s employment by Zymeworks, the termination of that employment, and the termination of any benefits. The foregoing release does not extend to any rights of indemnification the Executive may have (a) pursuant to that certain December 5, 2014 Indemnification Agreement between the Company and the Executive, or (b) under any applicable D&O insurance policy with the Company, in either case subject to the respective terms, conditions, and limitations of such indemnification agreement or D&O insurance policy as may be applicable.

3. The Executive agrees that the terms of this Separation Agreement and Release shall not constitute nor be deemed to be an admission of liability by Zymeworks in respect of any claim which the Executive hereto presently has or hereafter can, shall or may have and any such liability by Zymeworks is in fact expressly denied. The terms of this Separation Agreement are contractual and not merely a recital.

4. Except as necessary to enforce the terms of this Separation Agreement, the Executive further agrees that he will not make any claim or take any proceedings against any other person or corporation who might claim contribution or indemnity from Zymeworks hereto in respect of the subject matter of this Separation Agreement and Release.

6. This Separation Agreement and Release shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and personal representatives, the Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates and assigns and the Executive’s permitted assigns. It is further understood and agreed that the Executive will not make any adverse or unfavorable statements concerning Zymeworks, its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders or Executives in the context of such relationships of the Executive and such persons related to his employment by Zymeworks or concerning any relationship the Executive had with Zymeworks or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders or Executives.
