"Change of Control" shall mean, the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) any consolidation or merger of Licensee with or into any other entity in which the holders of Licensee's outstanding shares immediately before such consolidation or merger do not, immediately after such consolidation or merger, retain stock representing a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity or stock representing a majority of the voting power of an entity that wholly owns, directly or indirectly, the surviving entity; (b) the sale, transfer or assignment of securities of Licensee representing a majority of the voting power of all of Licensee's outstanding voting securities to an acquiring party or group; or (c) the sale of all or substantially all Licensee's assets.

If there is any unused portion of the prepaid license fee at the time of such negotiation (prorated over the Initial Term), it will be credited against the license fee due under the agreement with the surviving entity.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, WebGain may revoke the rights and licenses granted to Licensee pursuant to Section 2.0, "License Terms," effective immediately upon notice, at any time prior to expiration or termination of this Agreement, or at any time thereafter, at WebGain's sole discretion, if (i) Licensee makes use of a Deliverable other than as specified in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.9(b), 2.9(f), 2.9(g), 2.9(h), 2.9(i), and 2.9(k); (ii) Licensee has, or has attempted to, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Object Code of any Deliverable provided under this Agreement; or (iii) WebGain reasonably determines that Licensee has violated any Intellectual Property Rights of WebGain, in any other way, or breaches its obligation to hold in confidence any Confidential Information provided that (a) the events described in (i), (ii), or (iii) cause substantive economic harm to WebGain or substantive harm to WebGain's goodwill; and (b) if the violation can be cured by Licensee, Licensee will be afforded ten (10) days to cure such event.
