reverse-compile, reverse-engineer or in any way derive from Software any source code. You may not sublicense,
assign or otherwise transfer Software, this Agreement or the rights under it, whether by operation of law or
otherwise (“attempted transfer”) without Mentor Graphics' prior written consent and payment of Mentor
Graphics then-current applicable transfer charges. Any attempted transfer without Mentor Graphics’ prior
written consent shall be a material breach of this Agreement and may. at Mentor graphics’ option, result in the

section 4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
