DATA USE AND TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

This Data Use and Technology Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 7, 2023 (“Effective Date”), by and between the Lieber Institute, Inc. (d/b/a: Lieber Institute for Brain Development) (“LIBD”) and BullFrog AI Management, LLC (“BullFrogAI”). LIBD and BullFrogAI are hereinafter individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, LIBD is a non-profit, medical research institute dedicated to performing research regarding the causes, prevention and treatment of mental health disorders;

WHEREAS, LIBD owns and controls certain brain-related data;

WHEREAS, BullFrogAI is engaged in the development and commercialization of AI and machine learning solutions to advance medicine and improve human health;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into a collaboration for the purpose of engaging in research and development initiatives of various brain disorders, to identify new biomarkers or drug targets of interest and commercializing products and services derived from LIBD Data (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, the Parties are simultaneously entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) in contemplation of entering into a separate agreement for the commercialization of products and services developed by BullFrogAI under this Agreement (the “Commercial Agreement”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1	License; Access; Exclusivity; Good Faith Efforts; Fees

1.1.	Development License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 1.7 below, LIBD hereby grants to BullFrogAI a non-transferable, fully-paid up, royalty-free, non-sublicensable license during the Term to use the LIBD Data and the Intellectual Rights therein (i) in order to conduct the research and development activities required in the performance of the Development Plan, and to (ii) develop, have developed, make, and have made Deliverables, solely in the Licensed Field.

1.2.	Access. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, LIBD shall grant BullFrogAI access to the data in Exhibit B. LIBD shall make good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, during the Term, to provide BullFrogAI access to LIBD Data not included in Exhibit B. Such LIBD Data shall be provided in a mutually agreed upon, usable format, within a reasonable timeframe following BullFrogAI’s request, but not more frequently than quarterly.

1.3.	Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

	1.3.1.	“Commercialization” means an agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the provision of a Licensed Product for monetary value.

	1.3.2.	“Deliverable” means any technology, materials, product and/or service developed or conceived pursuant to this Agreement, and intellectual property rights therein.

	1.3.3.	“Finished” as it relates to LIBD Data, means data that is in a form ready for publication.

	1.3.4.	“LIBD Data” means LIBD’s Finished brain-related data, including but not limited to DNA methylation, RNAseq, genomic, DNA methylation, cell-line, clinical, and imaging data, and the data set forth in Exhibit B hereto. For clarity, LIBD’s obligations to provide BullFrogAI with LIBD Data are subject to existing encumbrances imposed by sponsor guidelines or restrictions. LIBD Data does not include LIBD’s drug development data.

	1.3.5.	“Licensed Field” means the application of Machine Learning and/or Artificial Intelligence for research and development in drug development, excluding incidental uses of machine learning and/or artificial intelligence on data derived from research. For clarity, Licensed Field specifically includes therapeutic products, patient selection strategies, and target identification, but excludes diagnostics.

	1.3.6.	“Machine Learning and/or Artificial Intelligence” means computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, including a system or model that is intended to generate data, mine data, identify patterns in data, or produce insights or correlations, or make predictions, recommendations, or decisions, or that operates using machine learning, logic, knowledge-based approaches, or other approaches designed to approximate significantly enhanced cognitive abilities.

1.4.	Exclusivity.

	1.4.1	The license granted in Section 1.1, and the access permitted in Section 1.2, shall be exclusive for a one (1) year period beginning on the date BullFrogAI receives its first substantial tranche of a dataset as detailed in Exhibit B, in a mutually agreed upon, usable format (the “Initial Exclusivity Period”). This exclusivity is subject to LIBD sponsor guidelines, including but not limited to, federal sponsorship guidelines. LIBD will consider BullFrogAI’s execution of the Development Plan in Exhibit A and potential Commercialization opportunities in contemplating the extension of the Initial Exclusivity Period. Thereafter, the license and access will be non-exclusive, unless LIBD extends the Initial Exclusivity Period.

	1.4.2	The Initial Exclusivity Period shall be extended at the sole discretion of LIBD.

1.5.	Good Faith Efforts. BullFrogAI shall use good faith efforts to achieve the Deliverables set forth in Exhibit A so long as BullFrogAI retains its exclusivity rights in accordance with Section 1.4.

1.6.

Fees.

	1.6.1.	BullFrogAI will complete the Development Plan at its own expense. No fees shall be payable to BullFrogAI for the services to be performed under this Agreement.

	1.6.2.	BullFrogAI and LIBD may agree in the future on projects in which LIBD will perform services for agreed-upon fees.

1.7.

Reservation of Rights for Non-Commercial Purposes and BullFrogAI Acknowledgement. LIBD reserves all rights not expressly granted to BullFrogAI in this Agreement or the Commercial Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement and the Commercial Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to BullFrogAI any intellectual property rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the LIBD Data. For clarity, during the Exclusivity Period, the license granted in Section 1.1 is subject to the reservation of LIBD’s right to use and license LIBD Data for noncommercial educational and research purposes, including clinical research, in all fields of use. For the avoidance of doubt, LIBD has the right to use internally developed and open source artificial intelligence software for research that could evolve into chemical entities and thereafter LIBD’s identification of related biomarkers and a patient selection strategy, to which LIBD would retain all rights.. Without limiting the foregoing, BullFrogAI acknowledges that LIBD is granting BullFrogAI a field limited exclusive license under the LIBD Data, and LIBD may grant additional licenses (either exclusive or non-exclusive) under the LIBD Data outside of the Licensed Field, without any obligation to report or make an accounting to BullFrogAI.

1.8.

Existing Licenses to LIBD Data. To the extent that LIBD has non-exclusive licenses to the LIBD Data, or portions thereof, existing and in force as of the Effective Date (“Existing Licenses”), the exclusivity granted to BullFrogAI in Section 1.1 is subject to and limited by the Existing Licenses.

1.9.	Points of Contact. The point of contact for BullFrogAI will be Vin Singh, Vin.Singh@bullfrogai.com. The point of contact for LIBD will be Geoff DeLizzio, Geoff.DeLizzio@libd.org.

The recipient Party covenants and agrees that it will employ all reasonable efforts to maintain all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information secret and confidential, such efforts to be made with no less than the degree of care employed by such recipient Party to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of recipient Party’s own confidential information (and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care).

4.3.	Exceptions. The confidentiality and non-use obligations set forth in Section 4.2 shall not apply to Confidential Information that the recipient Party can establish by written records (i) was in the recipient Party’s possession or known to recipient Party (as shown by its written records) prior to its receipt from the other Party; (ii) is generally available to the public or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a previous breach of this confidentiality undertaking by recipient Party; (iii) was legally received from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information of the disclosing Party and authorized to make such disclosure; or (iv) was independently developed by or on behalf of the receiving Party without use of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as demonstrated by documentary evidence prepared contemporaneously.

4.4.	Authorized Disclosure. Either Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation or court order, provided that such Party shall provide copies of the disclosure reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure for the other Party’s prior review and comment, and such other Party shall provide its comments as soon as practicable.

4.5.	Publicity. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall mutually agree on content and then issue a joint press release announcing the partnership. Following written approval of the proposed language from LIBD, BullFrogAI is free to use the project description and in any marketing material or conference presentations. Except as provided above, neither Party will discuss the Deliverables with any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld.

4.6.	Use of Name. Neither Party shall have the right, express or implied, to use in any manner any name, logo, trademark or trade name, or any abbreviations, of the other Party or its employees, staff members or student names without the prior written consent of said Party. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in any publication without the prior written consent of said Party.

4.7.	The provisions of this Section 4 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Parties and are considered by the Parties to be reasonable for such purpose. Each Party agrees that any breach of this Agreement by it may cause the other Party substantial and irreparable harm and, therefore, in the event of any such breach, in addition to other remedies that may be available to the disclosing Party, the disclosing Party shall have the right to seek specific performance and other injunctive and equitable relief.

5	Publications

5.1.	Any and all data, analysis and Deliverables resulting from this Agreement may be presented in one or more joint publications by LIBD and BullFrogAI.

5.2	The Parties agree that if either Party wishes to publish or present information, analysis, or data, or Deliverables resulting from the Agreement in a separate publication (“Requesting Party”), the Requesting Party shall furnish to the other Party a copy of any proposed publication or presentation for review and approval at least thirty (30) days in advance of submission of the proposed publication or presentation. The Requesting Party shall delay submission of any publication or disclosure of the results, at the request of the other Party, for up to an additional sixty (60) days after receipt of the proposed publication, in order to permit filing of appropriate patent applications. The Requesting Party agrees to consider any of the other Party’s comments in good faith and the other Party shall have authority to remove its Confidential Information. The authorship of any publication shall be according to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.

5.3 BullFrogAI will specifically reference LIBD’s support under this Agreement in any publication of the results, data or Deliverables.

6	Intellectual Property Rights

6.1.	Ownership of Existing Technologies. BullFrogAI shall retain all right, title and interest in and to BullFrogAI’s Technology and BullFrogAI’s Confidential Information, and no right, license, title or interest therein is transferred or granted to LIBD under this Agreement except for the right to use the Deliverables. LIBD shall retain all right, title and interest in and to LIBD’s Technology and LIBD’s Confidential Information, and no right, license, title or interest therein is transferred or granted to BullFrogAI under this Agreement except for the right to use the the LIBD Data as provided in this Agreement. The LIBD Data is owned by LIBD and will continue to be owned by LIBD after LIBD provides such LIBD Data to BullFrogAI.
