8. CA warrants that it can enter into this license and that it will indemnify, hold Licensee harmless, and defend or, at its option, settle any claim that CA is not so authorized or that Licensee's use of the Product as authorized hereby infringes any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of any third party. CA also warrants that the Product will operate in accordance with its published specifications, provided that CA's only responsibility will be to use reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure any defect. The foregoing warranty respecting the operation of the Product will be in effect only during any period for which Licensee shall have paid the applicable license fee and annual maintenance fee, or, with respect to Products licensed without an Order Form, during a period of ninety (90) days from Licensee's acquisition of the Product.

CA may assign this license to any third party that succeeds to CA's interests in the Product and assumes the obligations of CA hereunder; and CA may assign its right to payment hereunder or grant a security interest in this license or such payment right to any third party.
11. If Licensee breaches any term of this license or if Licensee becomes insolvent or if bankruptcy or receivership proceedings are initiated by or against Licensee, CA shall have the right to withhold its own performance hereunder and/or to terminate this license immediately and, in addition to all other rights of CA, all amounts due or to become due hereunder will immediately be due and payable to CA.
12. If Licensee fails to pay the applicable maintenance fee, then Licensee may reinstate maintenance thereafter by paying to CA a fee equal to 150% of CA's then prevailing maintenance fee for each year for which the maintenance fee has not been paid.
