Official Program Rules

1. Program Overview and Definitions

The Galaxy XR Launchpad (the "Program") is operated by Rock Paper Reality, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, and United Arab Emirates ("RPR," "we," "us," or "our"). The Program offers one (1) qualifying organization the opportunity to collaborate with RPR on a professionally scoped XR pilot experience built for the Samsung Galaxy XR headset platform.

For purposes of these Official Program Rules (the "Rules"), the following terms apply:

• "Applicant" — any organization that submits a Program application.
• "Selected Participant" or "Winner" — the single qualifying organization chosen by RPR to receive Program services in a given Program cycle.
• "Development Services" — the professional XR design, development, and production services provided by RPR, valued at up to USD $100,000 (representing approximately 500 hours of RPR professional time at $200/hour).
• "Pilot Experience" — the functional XR application deliverable developed collaboratively under the Program, capable of demonstration on a Galaxy XR headset.
• "SOW" — the Statement of Work executed between RPR and the Selected Participant under the Winner Participation Agreement.
• "Winner Participation Agreement" or "WPA" — the binding agreement signed by the Selected Participant that incorporates these Rules, the SOW, and additional winner-specific terms.
• "Device" — one (1) Galaxy XR headset unit provided to the Selected Participant in connection with the Program.
• "Showcase" — the Galaxy XR Launchpad Showcase event at which the Pilot Experience will be presented to RPR's invited audience.
• "Program Partner" — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and any other partners formally designated in writing by RPR for the relevant Program cycle.

2. Nature of the Program

2.1 The Program is a competitive professional development initiative selected on merit. It is not a sweepstakes, lottery, random drawing, or chance-based giveaway under applicable law. No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to apply or to be selected.

2.2 The USD $100,000 figure associated with the Program represents the notional retail value of RPR professional services time and is not a cash prize, cash equivalent, grant, or monetary award. No cash will be transferred to the Selected Participant under any circumstances. No substitution, cash equivalent, transfer, or assignment of Development Services is permitted.

2.3 The only physical item provided to the Selected Participant at no cost is one (1) Device. All other Program value consists of professional services time delivered by RPR personnel under the SOW.

2.4 The Program is a structured business engagement. The Selected Participant will be required to dedicate time, internal access, feedback, and resources as described in these Rules, the Winner Participation Agreement, and the SOW. RPR may modify, reduce, suspend, or terminate the Program scope or schedule if required by legal, technical, scheduling, partner, or commercial constraints.

3. Eligibility

• Not be in active bankruptcy, insolvency, administration, receivership, or similar proceedings;
• Not be a person or entity, or owned or controlled by a person or entity, that is subject to sanctions or designated on any restricted-party list maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), the United Nations, the European Union, or the UAE Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation;

3.2 Organizational Qualifications

In addition to the General Eligibility requirements above, the Applicant must demonstrate the operational capacity to participate fully in the Program, including the build sprint and the Showcase. RPR will assess organizational qualifications using factors including the following:

• For commercial / for-profit Applicants: annual revenue (typically USD $5,000,000 or more in the prior fiscal year, or local currency equivalent), employee headcount (typically fifty (50) or more full-time-equivalent employees or contractors performing equivalent functions), and operating history (typically at least two (2) years of continuous operation as a registered organization);
• For non-profit, charitable, cultural, museum, educational, and similar Applicants: status as a registered organization in good standing under the laws of the Applicant's jurisdiction. The revenue and headcount factors above do not apply to such Applicants;
• For all Applicants: a named executive sponsor (director-level or above), a designated technical or operational owner accountable for the Applicant's participation, and demonstrated ability to commit the time, access, content, and resources required by the Program (including the minimum availability commitment in Section 5) and to participate in the Showcase and in the marketing activities described in Section 9.

RPR may, in its reasonable discretion, accept Applicants who do not meet every factor above where the Applicant demonstrates operational capacity by other credible means.

3.3 Conflicts of Interest and Authority

By submitting an application, the submitting individual confirms that (a) they hold authority to bind their organization to these Rules and to any resulting Winner Participation Agreement, (b) no existing agreements, obligations, or relationships prevent or materially restrict the organization's participation in the Program, and (c) the information provided is accurate and complete.

3.4 Geographic Eligibility

The Program is open to organizations registered in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. Geographic-specific terms applicable to each jurisdiction are set out in the Jurisdiction Appendices to these Rules. RPR may restrict, modify, or decline applications from jurisdictions where Program administration would be legally or commercially impractical.

4. Application Process and Selection

4.1 Application Submission. Applicants must complete and submit the official Program application form in full at the Program website, including all required acknowledgments, representations, and consents. Incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent applications will be disqualified. RPR may request supporting documentation to verify eligibility.

4.2 Selection Criteria. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria including: (a) clarity and credibility of the business case; (b) fit for the Samsung Galaxy XR headset and the Android XR platform; (c) relevance and depth of the proposed Gemini or AI use case; (d) feasibility within the Program scope and timeline; (e) organizational readiness and ability to support the engagement; (f) commercial and demonstration potential of the resulting Pilot Experience; and (g) cultural, artistic, educational, or societal impact, where applicable. RPR may weigh these criteria in its reasonable discretion. Selection decisions are final and not subject to appeal.

4.3 No Chance Element. Selection is determined by RPR's documented evaluation of merit and fit, not by random draw, public voting, lottery, or any element of chance. RPR maintains internal scoring records, conflict checks, and a selection rationale for each cycle.

4.4 Single Award. One (1) Selected Participant will be chosen per Program cycle. RPR is under no obligation to make any selection if, in its reasonable judgment, no application meets the required standard. RPR may, at its discretion, identify finalists, runners-up, or future-cycle candidates.

4.5 Notification. The Selected Participant will be notified by RPR via the contact information provided in the application. Selection is contingent on the Selected Participant executing the Winner Participation Agreement and any related documentation (including tax forms and a publicity release) within ten (10) business days of notification. If the Selected Participant fails to execute the required documents within that period, RPR may select an alternate.

4.6 No Confidentiality of Applications. Applications are not confidential unless separately agreed in writing by RPR. The Applicant retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, but grants RPR a non-exclusive license to review, evaluate, store, and share application materials with Program Partners for the purposes of Program evaluation, marketing, and XR business development. The Applicant acknowledges that RPR may already be developing, may later independently develop, or may receive similar ideas from others, and that submission of an application creates no obligation of confidentiality or restriction on RPR's other activities.

5. Conditions of Participation for the Selected Participant

As a condition of selection and prior to commencement of services, the Selected Participant must:

• Execute the Winner Participation Agreement, the SOW, a Publicity Release, and any required tax forms (W-9, W-8BEN-E, or UAE TRN documentation, as applicable);
• Dedicate a minimum of five (5) hours per week of relevant personnel to the Program during the build sprint;
• Provide a designated executive sponsor and a designated technical or operational owner as the day-to-day points of contact;
• Provide feedback on deliverables within five (5) business days of each review checkpoint to maintain schedule;

• Cooperate in good faith with marketing and publicity activities as set forth in Section 8.

6. Development Services and Statement of Work

6.1 Scoping. Following selection, RPR and the Selected Participant will collaborate in good faith to define the scope of the Pilot Experience in the SOW. The SOW will define deliverables, milestones, timelines, and allocation of Development Services hours.

6.2 Budget Cap. Total Development Services are capped at five hundred (500) hours of RPR professional time, representing a notional value of USD $100,000. RPR will use reasonable efforts to scope the Pilot Experience to be achievable within this cap. The engagement is fixed-fee for the scope defined in the SOW at no monetary cost to the Selected Participant, provided that the Selected Participant timely fulfills its obligations under these Rules, the Winner Participation Agreement, and the SOW.

6.3 Scope Discipline. Material changes to the agreed SOW scope requested by the Selected Participant after execution require RPR's prior written approval. RPR is not obligated to accommodate scope changes that would require additional hours beyond the 500-hour cap. Changes that cannot be accommodated within the cap will be proposed to the Selected Participant as separately priced work.

6.4 Participant Responsibilities. The Selected Participant is responsible for providing timely access to relevant personnel, content, data, brand assets, decision-makers, and any third-party approvals necessary for RPR to deliver. Delays caused by the Selected Participant may extend deliverable timelines or reduce scope without liability to RPR.

6.5 Deliverable Standard. The Pilot Experience will be a functional, demonstrable XR application meeting the specifications in the SOW. RPR will exercise reasonable professional care. The Pilot Experience is provided for demonstration and evaluation. It is not warranted to meet any specific commercial, technical, or business performance standard beyond the SOW specifications, and is not intended for production deployment unless expressly stated in the SOW.

7. Galaxy XR Headset Device

7.1 Device Provision. RPR will provide one (1) Device to the Selected Participant at no cost to enable participation in the Program.

7.2 Permitted Use. The Device is provided solely to enable the Selected Participant to receive demonstrations of the Pilot Experience and to fulfill its obligations under these Rules. The Selected Participant may not sell, loan, lease, sublicense, or transfer the Device during the Program term.

7.3 VAT and Import Duties (UAE). For Selected Participants located in the United Arab Emirates, RPR will absorb VAT and import duties associated with delivery of the Device, up to a reasonable cap to be agreed in the Winner Participation Agreement. The Selected Participant remains responsible for any other taxes, charges, or reporting obligations arising in its jurisdiction.

7.4 Return on Termination. If the Program engagement is terminated by either party prior to the Showcase, the Selected Participant must return the Device to RPR within ten (10) business days of termination notice, in the condition received (reasonable wear excepted). RPR will provide return instructions and cover reasonable return shipping.

7.5 Title on Completion. Upon successful completion of the Program (defined as delivery of the Pilot Experience per the SOW, completion of the internal leadership presentation, and participation in the Showcase), title to the Device passes to the Selected Participant.

7.6 No Hardware Warranty by RPR. The Device is manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and is subject to any manufacturer warranty provided by Samsung. RPR makes no warranty regarding the Device's hardware, software, performance, or fitness for any particular purpose.

8. Intellectual Property

RPR retains ownership of (a) all RPR pre-existing technology, code, tools, methodologies, frameworks, libraries, design systems, creative assets, and know-how ("RPR Background Technology"), and (b) any general-purpose tools, methods, frameworks, technical components, or non-confidential underlying technology developed during the Program that are not specific to the Selected Participant's brand, content, or business workflows ("RPR Foreground Technology"). Together, these are "RPR Underlying Technology." The Selected Participant acquires no rights in RPR Underlying Technology.

8.2 Participant Content. The Selected Participant retains ownership of its pre-existing brand assets, proprietary data, content, trademarks, and materials provided to RPR ("Participant Content").

8.3 Pilot Deliverable — Participant Ownership. The Selected Participant owns all right, title, and interest in the Pilot Experience as delivered, including all code, designs, creative assets, models, and work product produced by RPR specifically for the Pilot Experience (the "Pilot Deliverable"), excluding RPR Underlying Technology (which remains RPR's per Section 8.1) and Participant Content (which remains Participant's per Section 8.2). The Selected Participant may use the Pilot Deliverable for any lawful purpose, including commercial deployment, expansion, modification, sublicense, and engagement of third parties for follow-on work.

8.4 License Back to RPR. The Selected Participant grants RPR a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to: (a) use the Pilot Deliverable, screenshots, screen recordings, video, and other visual representations of the Pilot Experience in RPR marketing, sales, public relations, website, social media, case studies, pitch decks, event presentations, award submissions, and RFP responses; (b) retain and use a sanitized version of the Pilot Deliverable, stripped of confidential Participant Content as specifically identified in writing by the Selected Participant, for ongoing demonstration, education, internal training, and reference purposes; and (c) use and reuse RPR Underlying Technology in future work without restriction. These rights survive any termination of the Program engagement, subject to the confidentiality obligations in Section 10.
