 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

 1.10    Limited Disclosure during
Consultancy.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1 above, the parties agree that during the term of this Agreement, neither party shall disclose to the other party any information that is patentable,
technology related or that constitutes trade secrets under applicable law. 

1.11    Use Limitations.    Consultant agrees not to use any Proprietary
Information for her own use or for any purpose whatsoever, except as necessary solely in connection with the performance of Services for Tekelec under this Agreement. 

1.12    Non-Disclosure.    Consultant agrees to hold in strict confidence
the Proprietary Information and not to disclose the Proprietary Information to any third parties, except such employees of Consultant who have a legitimate need to know the Proprietary Information for the purpose of Consultant’s performance of
Services hereunder and who agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of the Proprietary Information and to not use such Proprietary Information except for the limited purpose expressly authorized by this Agreement. Consultant further agrees
that it shall use such degree of care as is reasonable and necessary to protect and safeguard the confidentiality of such Proprietary Information and to prevent it from falling into the public domain or the possession of unauthorized persons, and
warrants that such degree of care is at least equal to the degree of care that Consultant uses to protect and safeguard its own highly confidential information. Should Consultant become aware of any unauthorized disclosure, misappropriation or
misuse by any person of any Proprietary Information or of any breach of this Article 5, Consultant agrees to promptly advise Tekelec in writing of such disclosure, misappropriation, misuse or breach. The limitations contained in Sections 5.3
and 5.4 hereof shall apply for two years from the termination date hereof. 

1.13    Protection of Proprietary Information.    In the event that
Consultant is requested or required (in legal proceedings, governmental investigations or other similar process) to disclose any of the Proprietary Information, Consultant shall provide Tekelec with prompt written notice of any such request or
requirement so that Tekelec may have an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a
written waiver from Tekelec, Consultant is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Proprietary Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Consultant may, without liability hereunder, disclose
to such tribunal only that portion of the Proprietary Information which Consultant is legally required to disclose. 
 1.14    Survival of Consultant’s Preexisting Obligations.    Consultant understands that no provision of this Agreement, including this Article 5, in
any way limits or alters Consultant’s obligations under any prior written agreements with Tekelec, including, without limitation, the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement entered into as of May 5, 2010 by the parties or the
Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement dated May 5, 2010 by and between the parties. 
 1.15    Return of Materials.    Upon Tekelec’s request or upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Consultant shall
(i) cease using the Proprietary Information; (ii) promptly return to Tekelec or destroy all Proprietary Information furnished to Consultant, any notes, documents, extracts or analyses which are based upon or derived from such Proprietary
Information, and all copies of the foregoing items; and (iii) certify in writing

Consultant will continue to be bound by all of its obligations under this Article 5. 

1.16    Injunctive Relief.    The parties specifically understand and
agree that, because of the unique nature of the Proprietary Information, Tekelec will suffer immediate, irreparable harm in the event Consultant fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Article 5, that monetary damages will be
inadequate to compensate Tekelec for such breach and that the Tekelec shall be entitled to seek specific performance, temporary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedies shall not be
deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach by Consultant of this Article 5, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Tekelec at law or in equity. 

NON-EXCLUSIVITY.    The parties agree that during the Term, Consultant will be free to perform
services to such other clients, persons, or companies as Consultant in her reasonable discretion, may determine; provided that any such other services do not interfere with Consultant’s ability to timely and diligently perform the Services (as
defined in Exhibit A) hereunder and do not result in any breach of Section 5 (Confidentiality) or any other obligations that Consultant may have to Tekelec. 

CONSULTANT’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.    The parties agree that any intellectual property
that Consultant may independently develop during the term of this Agreement that is not subject to claims by Tekelec under any written agreements existing between the parties, including, without limitation, those written agreements referenced in
Article 7 of the Employment Separation Agreement dated June     , 2011 between the parties (the “Separation Agreement”), or subject to claims by Tekelec under applicable law shall remain Consultant’s sole property
to which Tekelec has no right or claim. 
 EMPLOYEES AND SUBCONTRACTORS. Consultant agrees not
subcontract any of the Services hereunder without Tekelec’s express prior written consent, which Tekelec may provide in its sole discretion. Any such consent that Tekelec provides will be subject to Consultant taking all steps necessary or
appropriate to bind such subcontractors to the provisions of this Agreement and to insure that none of such subcontractors takes or omits to take any actions which would be a violation of this Agreement if such action or omission had been taken by
Consultant. Consultant agrees that it shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any such subcontractor.
