9.4 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Client must, as of the date of such termination, immediately cease accessing or otherwise utilizing the METER Group Service and METER Group Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets and/or stock to, or undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice.
