 AGREEMENTS 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1.    Appointment as Management Company. The Management Company is hereby retained by the Company to
provide certain management and advisory services and other assistance as may be requested by the Company and agreed to by the Management Company from time to time, including, but not limited to, the services described on Schedule A hereto
(the “Management Services”). The Management Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Management Services in a manner consistent with industry standards for such Management Services, as employed by
biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical companies that are similarly situated to the Company. The Management Company shall primarily focus on providing senior-level strategic and tactical guidance, oversight, advice and support services with respect to
pharmaceutical-related matters, and assistance to the Company in developing key in-house 












 
capabilities. In this capacity, the Management Company will commit significant management resources to the Company, with the Management Company’s initial leadership team including Jeff
Aronin, Pat Morris, Tim Cunniff, Babar Ghias, Spiro Katerinis and such other individuals deemed appropriate by the Management Company to facilitate the Company’s business plan and objectives. It is the parties’ intent and expectation that
the Management Services will include guidance, oversight, advice and support with respect to key activities necessary or useful to enhance the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval for the Product in the Territory. 

2.    Compensation. 

(a)    In exchange for services to be provided by the Management Company hereunder, the Company shall pay
the Management Company, and the Management Company shall be entitled to receive from the Company, a monthly management fee (the “Management Fee”) in the amount of $333,333.33 with respect to each calendar month of the Term prior to
the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date and in the amount of $166,666.66 with respect to each calendar month of the Term following the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date. The Management Fee for the first calendar month of the Term shall be payable within two (2) business days following the Effective Date. Thereafter, the
Management Fee payable with respect to each calendar month shall be paid not later than the fifth day of such calendar month by recurring ACH transfer (established as an automatic feature with the Company’s bank) provided that the Management
Company delivers a written invoice to the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the first day of such calendar month. If the Management Company fails to deliver a written invoice prior to the first day of such calendar month, then the Company
shall pay the Management Fee with respect to a given calendar month no later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of a written invoice from Management Company with respect to the Management Services to be provided (or that were provided) in
such calendar month, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts previously specified in writing by the Management Company. The Management Fee shall be prorated based on the number of days in any partial calendar month
during the Term. If the Management Fee decreases on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Management Fee payable with respect to the applicable calendar month for the period prior to such decrease shall be prorated based on
the number of days in such calendar month prior to such decrease, and the Management Fee payable with respect to such calendar month for the period following such decrease shall be prorated based on the number of days in such calendar month
following such decrease. 
 (b)    In addition to the Management Fee, the Company shall pay to the
Management Company, and the Management Company shall be entitled to receive from the Company, an additional payment in the amount of $4,000,000.00, which shall be paid within one business day following the Effective Date by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account or accounts previously specified in writing by the Management Company. 
 Except as contemplated by this
Agreement, the Management Company shall not be entitled to receive from the Company any other compensation or remuneration in consideration for its services to the Company.

 3.    Expenses. The Management Company shall bear
the cost of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services performed hereunder, and shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Company. 

4.    Effective Period of Agreement and Amendments. 

(a)    The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall begin on the Effective Date and end
on the sixth (6th) anniversary thereof; provided, that the Term may be terminated prior to the expiration thereof (i) by the Management Company at any time for any reason or no reason
by giving the Company written notice of such termination at least one hundred eighty (180) days in advance of such termination date (unless such notice is waived by the Company in its sole discretion, in which case such termination shall be
effective as of the date of such waiver), (ii) by the Company for Cause by giving the Management Company written notice of such termination, (iii) by the Company upon the consummation of an IPO by giving the Management Company written notice of
such termination; provided, however, that if any termination under this subsection (iii) occurs prior to the end of the fourth year following the Effective Date, then within thirty (30) days following such termination the
Company shall pay to the Management Company an amount equal to 100% of all remaining amounts to be paid to the Management Company under this Agreement between the date of such termination and the end of such fourth year, and (iv) by the Company
upon written notice to the Management Company if a Sale of Harmony has been consummated prior the consummation of an IPO; provided, however, that if such Sale of Harmony results in payment to the Investors of an aggregate amount equal
to or greater than the Series A Preferred Return (as defined in the A&R Certificate of Incorporation) (after payment of all costs and expenses incurred by Holdings in connection with such Sale of Harmony, including the payment of amounts payable
to the Management Company pursuant to this Section 4(a)), then within thirty (30) days following such termination the Company shall pay to the Management Company an amount equal to 100% of all remaining amounts to be
paid to the Management Company under this Agreement. 
 (b)    Any amendment to this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be approved and executed by both the Management Company and the Company; provided, however, that such approval of the Company shall be subject to the authorization and approval of the Board. Sections 5,
6, 7, 11, 12, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term. 

5.    Business Opportunity. During the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, if the
Management Company is formally offered an opportunity to pursue a potential transaction to acquire, license or obtain a pharmaceutical product in the Field (as defined in the License Agreement) or to acquire a majority ownership interest in a Person
that sells pharmaceutical products in the Field (but not including a minority investment) that the Management Company reasonably believes is, or may be, within the scope of the business and investment objectives of the Company and would be
beneficial to the business of the Company and that the Management Company desires to pursue (each an “Opportunity”), then the Management Company shall present such Opportunity to the Board. The Board shall determine whether to
pursue any such Opportunity and shall make such determination within a reasonable period of time; provided, that if the Board determines not to pursue any such Opportunity, then the Management Company and its Affiliates will not separately
pursue such Opportunity.

 6.    Restrictive Covenants. During the Term, the
Management Company and Aronin will have access to the most sensitive and most valuable trade secrets, proprietary information and other confidential information of the Company, including pharmaceutical studies and reports, management reports,
marketing studies, marketing plans, business plans, financial statements, feasibility studies, financial, accounting and statistical data, price and cost information, customer lists, contracts, policies and procedures, internal memoranda, reports
and other materials or records of a proprietary or confidential nature (collectively, “Confidential Information”), which constitute valuable business assets of the Company and its Affiliates, and the use, application or disclosure
of such Confidential Information will cause substantial and possibly irreparable damage to the business and asset value of the Company. Therefore, as an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement and to protect the Confidential
Information and other business interests of the Company, Aronin and the Management Company each agree to be bound by the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6. 

(a)    Confidential Information. After the date of this Agreement, Aronin and the Management Company
will, and, in the case of the Management Company, will cause its Affiliates, directors, managers, officers, equityholders, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person or use for his
or its own benefit, as applicable, or the benefit of any other Person any Confidential Information; provided, however, that the obligations under this Section 6(a) will not apply to Confidential Information
that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitments contemplated by this Section 6(a), (ii) was available to Aronin or the Management Company or its Affiliates, directors,
managers, officers, equityholders, employees or agents on a non-confidential basis prior to the date of this Agreement or (iii) is required to be disclosed by any Law or Order; provided, that as
soon as practicable prior to any such disclosure, Aronin and/or the Management Company, as applicable, shall give the Company prompt written notice of such disclosure to enable the Company to seek a protective order or otherwise preserve the
confidentiality of such information. 
 (b)    Covenant Not to Compete. For the period beginning
on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the date on which all of Aronin and the Management Company and its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Marshman Fund Trust II) cease to own any Stock and any other equity
interest in Holdings (the “Restricted Period”), Aronin and/or the Management Company, as applicable, will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in, or participate in the ownership,
management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected as an owner, investor, partner, joint venturer, director, limited liability company manager, employee, independent contractor, consultant or other agent of, any Person or enterprise
that is developing a pharmaceutical product in the sleep field, or owns, licenses, sells, or markets such a product anywhere in or with respect to the Territory. 

  
 4 













 (c)    During the Restricted Period, Aronin and the
Management Company will not, directly or indirectly: 
 i.    solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or
induce (including by recruiting, interviewing or identifying or targeting as a candidate for recruitment) any officer or personnel (whether engaged as an employee or independent contractor) of the Company (a “Business Associate”),
to terminate, restrict or hinder such Business Associate’s association with the Company or interfere in any way with the relationship between such Business Associate and the Company; provided, however, that after the termination
or expiration of this Agreement, general solicitations published in a journal, newspaper or other publication or posted on an internet job site and not specifically directed toward Business Associates will not constitute a breach of the covenants in
this Section 6(c); or 
 ii.    hire or otherwise retain the services of any
Business Associate as officer, employee, independent contractor, licensee, consultant, advisor, agent or in any other capacity, or attempt or assist anyone else to do so. 

(d)    Scope of Covenants; Equitable Relief. Aronin and the Management Company acknowledge and agree
that (i) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 6 and the territorial, time, activity and other limitations set forth herein are commercially reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is
necessary to protect the goodwill and legitimate business interests of the Company and its businesses, (ii) any breach of the restrictive covenants in this Section 6 will cause irreparable injury to the Company and
that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain and would be inadequate, (iii) if any breach of any such covenant occurs, then the Company will be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to such other legal and equitable remedies that
may be available (without limiting the availability of legal or equitable, including injunctive, remedies under any other provisions of this Agreement) and (iv) Aronin and the Management Company hereby waive the claim or defense that an
adequate remedy at law exists for such a breach. 
 7.    Inventions. 

(a)    The Management Company agrees that all Inventions will be the sole and exclusive property of
Company. The Management Company hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company, and agrees to irrevocably transfer and assign to the Company, all right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all pharmaceutical products,
inventions, improvements, techniques, know-how, algorithms, processes, designs, technology, information, software, illustrations, artwork, documentation, photographs, trademarks, materials, original works of
authorship, biological or chemical specimens or samples, databases and trade secrets that the Management Company may solely or jointly make, conceive or develop or reduce to practice during the Term, that result from or arise out of the Services or
that are aided by the use of time, materials, facilities, trade secrets, or proprietary information of the Company, whether or not they are eligible for patent, copyright, mask work, trade secret, trademark or other legal protection (collectively,
the “Inventions”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will be the sole owner of any regulatory dossiers and regulatory filings for the Product or other products of the Company that are prepared and/or
filed by the Management Company pursuant to the Agreement.

 (b)    The Management Company hereby irrevocably
transfers and assigns to the Company, and agrees to irrevocably transfer and assign to the Company, all right, title and interest throughout the world to any and all intellectual property rights in or associated with such Inventions, including
without limitation all patents, copyrights, trademark rights, trade dress rights and trade secret rights, and applications for any of the foregoing (collectively “Intellectual Property Rights”). The Management Company will promptly
make full written disclosure to the Company of all Inventions and will hold all Inventions in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company. All copyrightable works made by the Management Company during the Term are and will be treated as
“works made for hire” to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. At the Company’s request and expense, during and after the term of this Agreement, the Management Company will assist and cooperate with the Company in all
respects and will cause all Management Company personnel to assist and cooperate with the Company in all respects, and will execute documents and will cause all Management Company personnel to execute documents, and will take such further acts
reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to acquire, transfer, maintain, perfect and enforce its Intellectual Property Rights and other legal protections for the Inventions. The Management Company hereby appoints the officers of the
Company as the Management Company’s attorney-in-fact to execute documents on behalf of the Management Company for this limited purpose. 

(c)    The assignments by the Management Company to the Company of Inventions hereunder includes
(i) all rights of attribution, paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal, (ii) any rights that the Management Company may have under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 or similar federal, state, foreign or international laws or
treaties, and (iii) all other rights throughout the world sometimes referred to as “moral rights” (collectively “Moral Rights”). To the extent that Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law, the Management
Company hereby waives such Moral Rights to the extent permitted under applicable law and consents to any and all actions of the Company that would otherwise violate such Moral Rights. 

(d)    To the extent that the Management Company owns or controls (presently or in the future) any patent
rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, trade secret rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights that may block or interfere with, or may otherwise be required for, the exercise by the Company of the rights assigned to the
Company under this Section 7 (collectively, “Related Rights”), the Management Company hereby grants or will cause to be granted to the Company a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, distribute, sublicense, display, perform and
