b.    You acknowledge and agree that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company Group and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company Group.

c.    If any court of competent jurisdiction construes any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Paragraph 7, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration or scope covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

9.    Effect of Obtaining New Employment.  Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7 above, your acceptance of a position with another employer after your Designated Last Day of Work will not affect your eligibility for the Program Separation Benefits described in Attachment A, except your eligibility to remain in BMT’s group health insurance plan will cease as soon as you become eligible for your new employer’s health insurance coverage, and if applicable, BMT’s obligation to pay you the Medicare subsidy will cease immediately upon your commencing any new employment. You are required to notify BMT in writing immediately if you obtain new employment and to advise BMT whether and when you become eligible to participate in any new employer’s group health plan.

17.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to any conflicts of laws provisions that would apply the laws of a different jurisdiction.

			Exhibit 10.3
		

		
			 
		

		
			FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
		

		
			THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of this 31st day of January, 2019, by and between BMR-PACIFIC RESEARCH CENTER LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and PROTAGONIST THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
		

		
			RECITALS
		

		
			A.         WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Lease dated as of March 6, 2017 (as the same may have been amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Existing Lease”), whereby Tenant leases certain premises (the “Premises”) from Landlord at 7707 Gateway Boulevard in Newark, California (the “Building”);
		

		
			B.         WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the date by which Tenant must expend the unused portion of the TI Allowance (as defined in the Existing Lease); and
		

		
			C.         WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the Existing Lease only in the respects and on the conditions hereinafter stated.
		

		
			AGREEMENT
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
		

		
			1.    Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Lease unless otherwise defined herein. The Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is referred to collectively herein as the “Lease.” From and after the date hereof, the term “Lease,” as used in the Existing Lease, shall mean the Existing Lease, as amended by this Amendment.
		

		
			2.    TI Deadline. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Lease, Section 4.3 of the Existing Lease is hereby amended by deleting the term “December 31, 2018” and replacing it with the term “June 30, 2019.”
		

		
			3.    Broker. Tenant represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this Amendment and agrees to reimburse, indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnitees for, from and against any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any such broker or agent employed or engaged by it or claiming to have been employed or engaged by it.
		

		
			4.    No Default. Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord and Tenant are not in default of any of their respective obligations under the Existing Lease and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default by either Landlord or Tenant thereunder.

			5.    Notices. Tenant confirms that, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, notices delivered to Tenant pursuant to the Lease should be sent to:
		

		
			Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc.
		

		
			7707 Gateway Boulevard
		

		
			Newark, California
		

		
			Attn: Chief Financial Officer
		

		
			6.    Effect of Amendment. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Existing Lease and all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed. In the event of any conflict between the terms contained in this Amendment and the Existing Lease, the terms herein contained shall supersede and control the obligations and liabilities of the parties.
		

		
			7.    Successors and Assigns. Each of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and shall apply to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators and permitted successors and assigns and sublessees. Nothing in this section shall in any way alter the provisions of the Lease restricting assignment or subletting.
		

		
			8.    Miscellaneous. This Amendment becomes effective only upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant. The captions of the paragraphs and subparagraphs in this Amendment are inserted and included solely for convenience and shall not be considered or given any effect in construing the provisions hereof. All exhibits hereto are incorporated herein by reference. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease, and shall not be effective as a lease, lease amendment or otherwise until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.
		

		
			9.    Authority. Tenant guarantees, warrants and represents that the individual or individuals signing this Amendment have the power, authority and legal capacity to sign this Amendment on behalf of and to bind all entities, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint venturers or other organizations and entities on whose behalf such individual or individuals have signed.
		

		
			10.  Counterparts: Facsimile and PDF Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document. A facsimile or portable document format (PDF) signature on this Amendment shall be equivalent to, and have the same force and effect as, an original signature.
