3. Title to Demised Premises; Condition.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. As an inducement to the Subtenant entering into this Sublease, and with knowledge that the Subtenant will rely thereon, the Sublandlord represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Sublandlord is not the owner of the Premises, but holds possession of the same by virtue of that certain Lease Agreement dated March 17, 2000, by and between Duke-Weeks Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited liability partnership, as landlord (the “Landlord”), and Sublandlord, as tenant, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of an unspecified date in calendar year 2000, that Second Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of an unspecified date in calendar year 2000, and that Third Amendment to Lease Agreement dated March 5, 2002 (as so amended, the “Lease”), a true, correct and complete copy of which (including all amendments thereto) is attached hereto as Appendix A.
(b) The Lease is in full force and effect, has not been modified, supplemented or amended, or otherwise changed except as set forth in the aforesaid First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Third Amendment, and is the entire agreement between Landlord and Sublandlord with respect to the Premises and the use and occupancy thereof. Sublandlord is not in default under the Lease and to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge, no circumstance, act, omission, or event has occurred that would cause Landlord or Sublandlord to be in default thereunder with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both.
(c) Sublandlord is the true and lawful owner of all of the right, title and interest of the “tenant” or “lessee” in, to and under the Lease, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever.

Subtenant shall comply with or perform all duties and obligations of the “tenant” or “lessee” under the Lease arising with respect to time periods after the Delivery Date during the term of this Sublease, except to the extent otherwise provided in this Sublease, where the failure to do so would constitute a breach or a violation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or which would cause the Lease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in the Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or condition of this Sublease, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any term or provision of the Lease and any term or provision of this Sublease with respect to the rights, duties, obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities or Subtenant, the terms and provisions of this Sublease shall govern and control.

Sublandlord agrees to maintain the Lease during the entire term of this Sublease, subject, however, to any earlier automatic termination of the Lease for reasons outside of Sublandlord’s control (e.g., condemnation) (provided, however, that in the event any termination of the Lease is not automatic but may be exercised by the “tenant” or “lessee” thereunder, Sublandlord shall not exercise such termination right without Subtenant’s prior written approval), and to comply with or perform all duties and obligations of the “tenant” or “lessee” thereunder (except to the extent that Subtenant has agreed to perform such duties and obligations under the terms and conditions of this Sublease), including, without limitation, the payment of Base Rental, Additional Rent, and other rent, charges and fees payable thereunder.

4.4 Sublandlord’s Non-responsibility for Services.
(a) Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord will not furnish to Subtenant, or bear the cost of, any services or repairs of any kind to be provided
-3-
by Landlord under the Lease (hereinafter collectively “Landlord Services”), and Subtenant will look solely to the Landlord for the providing and performance of all Landlord Services, if any, and will not seek or require Sublandlord to provide or perform the same, nor shall Subtenant make any claim upon Sublandlord for any failure or improper performance of such obligation of Landlord respecting such Services unless the same arises out of or in connection with any act or omission of Sublandlord or any breach by Sublandlord of any of the terms or provisions of this Sublease. Sublandlord agrees that it will use all commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the duties and obligations of Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, such duties and obligations relating to the provision of Landlord’s Services) and to cause Landlord to perform and comply with such duties and obligations, and any such enforcement shall be carried out by counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord and Subtenant, at Subtenant’s cost and expense (except that if attorneys’ fees or similar costs and expenses are recovered from Landlord, Subtenant shall be entitled to reimbursement for such costs and expenses to the extent of such recovery); Subtenant shall be entitled to participate in directing any such enforcement, and Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with Subtenant in connection therewith. Additionally, Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant in any effort by Subtenant to enforce such duties and obligations or to cause Landlord to perform and comply with same.
(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.4(a) above, it is agreed that (i) Sublandlord’s obligations to Subtenant hereunder with respect to the Premises shall be no greater than Landlord’s obligations to Sublandlord under the Lease with respect thereto; (ii) Sublandlord shall be required to perform the Landlord’s obligations to the Subtenant hereunder with respect to the Landlord Services only to the extent that Landlord has performed its similar obligations under the Lease with respect thereto; (iii) Subtenant shall have no greater rights against Sublandlord hereunder with respect to the Landlord Services than the Sublandlord would have against Landlord under the Lease with respect thereto; and (iv) if Subtenant shall be entitled to recover damages by reason of any breach or failure with respect to Landlord’s obligations, Subtenant may recover such damages from Sublandlord only to the extent that Sublandlord recovers damages from Landlord in connection therewith, except that such limitation shall not apply to the extent any such breach or failure arises out of or in connection with any act or omission of Sublandlord or to the extent any damages from Landlord are reduced or offset by any act or omission of Sublandlord.
