(ii) Remedy. If any essential services (such as HVAC, passenger elevators if

willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, invitees, or agents, Tenant shall
be entitled to an abatement of Rent. The abatement shall begin on the day of the
interruption or when Tenant stops using the Premises because of the
interruption, whichever is later. The abatement shall end when the services are
restored. Tenant shall have the option to cancel the Lease if the interruption
unreasonably and materially interferes with Tenant's use of or access to the
Premises for at least five (5) consecutive
10
Business Days. To exercise this option Tenant must give Landlord notice of the
cancellation within ten (10) days from the end of the five (5) day period.

general aggregate.
5.01(d). Release of Claims and Waiver of Subrogation. Each party waives any
right of recovery against the other party and releases all claims arising in any
manner in its ("Injured Party's") favor and against the other party for any loss
or damage to the Injured Party's property (real or personal) located within or
constituting a part of or all of the Building. The parties further agree to have
their respective insurers waive any rights of subrogation that such insurers may
have against the other party. This waiver and release apply to the extent the
loss or damage is covered by:
(i) the Injured Party's insurance; or
(ii) the insurance the Injured Party is required to carry under Section 5,
whichever is greater. The waiver and release also apply to each party's
directors, officers,
14
employees, shareholders, and agents. The waiver and release do not apply to
claims caused by a party's willful misconduct.
5.01(e). Increase in Insurance. The amounts of Commercial General Liability
insurance coverage required by paragraph 5.01(c) are subject to review at the
end of each three-year period following the Beginning Date. At each review, the
amounts of coverage shall be increased to the amounts of coverage that
institutional lenders generally require to be carried by prudent landlords and
tenants of comparable class "A" office buildings in the Albany, New York area.
Either party may make the review and request appropriate increases based
upon this review within sixty (60) days after each three-year period ends. If
the parties do not agree to the amount of the increase, then the party
requesting the increase may submit the dispute to arbitration under paragraph
11.01 within thirty (30) days of the request for the increase. Landlord shall
not request increased insurance unless it makes, at appropriate times, similar
requests of all other tenants whose insurance coverage is below the amount
required to be carried under the above standard.

(i) be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of New
York with general policyholder's ratings of at least A and a financial rating of
at least XI in the most current Best's Insurance Reports available on the date

changed or discontinued, the parties shall agree to an equivalent method of
rating insurance companies. If the parties cannot agree they shall submit the
dispute to arbitration under paragraph 11.01;
(ii) name the nonprocuring party as an additional insured as its interest may
appear on the procuring party's Commercial General Liability policy (Tenant
shall be named as a certificate holder); other landlords or tenants may also be
added as additional insureds in a blanket policy;
(iii) provide that the insurance not be canceled or materially changed in the
scope or amount of coverage unless thirty (30) days' advance notice is given to
the nonprocuring party;
(iv) be primary policies--not as contributing with, or in excess of, the
coverage that the other party may carry;
(v) be permitted to be carried through a "blanket policy" or "umbrella"
coverage;
(vi) [Intentionally Omitted];
(vii) be written on an "occurrence" basis; and
(viii) be maintained during the entire Term and any extension Terms.

other party. Each certificate shall specify amounts, types of coverage, the
waiver of subrogation, and the insurance criteria listed in paragraph
5.01(f)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), and (vii). The policies shall be renewed or
replaced and maintained by the party responsible for that policy. If either
party fails to give the required certificate within thirty (30) days after
notice of demand for it, the other party may obtain and pay for that insurance
and receive reimbursement from the party required to have the insurance.

employees, or invitees.
When the claim is caused by the joint negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant and Landlord or Tenant and a third party unrelated to Tenant, except
Tenant's agents, employees, or invitees, Tenant's duty to defend, indemnify, and
hold Landlord harmless shall be in proportion to Tenant's allocable share of the

harmless from third party claims:
(i) for personal injury, bodily injury, death, or property damage;

Landlord's agents, employees, or invitees, Landlord's duty to defend, indemnify,
and hold Tenant harmless shall be in proportion to Landlord's allocable share of
the joint negligence or willful misconduct.
5.03. Limitation of Landlord's liability.
5.03(a). Transfer of Premises. If the Building is sold or transferred,
voluntarily or involuntarily, Landlord's Lease obligations and liabilities
accruing after the transfer shall be the sole responsibility of the new owner
if:
(i) the new owner is able to and expressly agrees in writing to assume
Landlord's obligations; and
(ii) Tenant's funds, if any, that Landlord is holding, such as any security
deposit, are given to the new owner. Landlord's Lease obligations and
liabilities occurring before any such transfer shall survive such transfer and
remain the obligations and liabilities of Landlord.
5.03(b). Liability for Money Judgment. If Landlord, its employees, officers, or
partners are ordered to pay Tenant a money judgment because of Landlord's
default, then except in those instances listed in paragraph 5.03(c), Tenant's
sole remedy to satisfy the judgment shall be:
(i) Landlord's interest in the Building and Land including the rental income and
proceeds from sale; and
(ii) any insurance or condemnation proceeds received because of damage or
condemnation to, or of, the Building or Land that are available for use by
Landlord.
5.03(c). Exceptions. Paragraph 5.03(b) does not apply when:

(iii) Landlord violated the warranties contained in paragraphs 3.02, 3.03, or

16
Nothing in paragraphs 5.03(a), (b), or (c) shall be interpreted to mean
that Tenant cannot be awarded specific performance or an injunction.
SECTION 6 -- LOSS OF PREMISES
6.01. Damages.
6.01(a). Definition. "Relevant Space" means:
(i) the Premises as defined in paragraph 1.02, excluding Tenant's
non-Building-Standard fixtures;
(ii) reasonable access to the Premises;
(iii) any part of the Building that provides essential services to the Premises;
and
(iv) 287 parking spaces adjacent to the Building.
6.01(b). Repair of Damage. If the Relevant Space is damaged in part or whole
from any cause and the Relevant Space can be substantially repaired and restored
within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the damage using
standard working methods and procedures, Landlord shall at its expense promptly
and diligently repair and restore the Relevant Space to substantially the same
condition as existed before the damage. This repair and restoration shall be
made within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the damage unless
the delay is due to causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control.
If the Relevant Space cannot be repaired and restored within the one
hundred and twenty (120) day period, then either party may, within ten (10) days
after determining that the repairs and restoration cannot be made within one
hundred and twenty (120) days (as prescribed in paragraph 6.01(c)), cancel the
Lease by giving notice to the other party. Nevertheless, if the Relevant Space
is not repaired and restored within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the
date of the damage, then Tenant may cancel the Lease at any time after the one
hundred and twentieth (120th) day and before the one hundred and fiftieth
(150th) day following the date of damage. Tenant shall not be able to cancel
this Lease if its willful misconduct causes the damage unless Landlord is not
promptly and diligently repairing and restoring the Relevant Space.
6.01(c). Determining the Extent of Damage. If the parties cannot agree in
writing whether the repairs and restoration described in paragraph 6.01(b) will
take more than one hundred and twenty (120) days to make, then the determination
will be submitted to arbitration under paragraph 11.01.
6.01(d). Abatement. Unless the damage is caused by Tenant's willful misconduct,
the Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to that part of the Premises that is unfit
for use in Tenant's business. The abatement shall consider the nature and extent
of interference to Tenant's ability to conduct business in the Premises and the
need for access and essential services. The abatement shall continue from the
date the damage occurred until five (5) business days after Landlord completes
the repairs and restoration to the Relevant Space or the part rendered unusable
and notice to Tenant that the repairs and restoration are completed, or until
Tenant again uses the Premises or the part rendered unusable, whichever is
first.
6.01(e). Tenant's Property. Notwithstanding anything else in Section 6, Landlord
is not obligated to repair or restore damage to Tenant's trade fixtures,
furniture, equipment, or other personal property, or any Tenant improvements.
17
6.01(f). Damage to Building. If:
(i) more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the Building is damaged; or
(ii) [Intentionally Omitted]; or
(iii) [Intentionally Omitted]; or
(iv) the Lease is in the last twelve (12) months of its Term;
then either Landlord or Tenant may cancel this Lease by notice to the other
party within sixty (60) days of the damage. The notice must specify the
cancellation date, which shall be at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty
(60) days after the date notice is given.
6.01(g). Cancellation. If either party cancels this Lease as permitted by
paragraph 6.01, then this Lease shall end on the day specified in the
cancellation notice. The Rent and other charges shall be payable up to the
cancellation date and shall account for any abatement. Landlord shall promptly
refund to Tenant any prepaid, unaccrued Rent, accounting for any abatement, plus
security deposit, if any, less any.
If Landlord cancels this Lease as permitted by paragraph 6.01, then
Landlord must also cancel all other similarly affected tenant leases in the
Building.
6.02. Condemnation.
6.02(a). Definitions. The terms "eminent domain," "condemnation," "taken," and
the like in paragraph 6.02 include takings for public or quasi-public use and
private purchases in place of condemnation by any authority authorized to
exercise the power of eminent domain.
6.02(b). Entire Taking. If the entire Premises or the portions of the Building
required for reasonable access to, or the reasonable use of, the Premises are
taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically end on the earlier of:
(i) the date title vests; or
(ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority.
6.02(c). Partial Taking. If the taking of a part of the Premises or of the Land
materially interferes with Tenant's ability to continue its business operations
in substantially the same manner and space then Tenant may end this Lease on the
earlier of:
(i) the date when title vests; or
(ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority. If there is a
partial taking and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall end as to the part
taken and the Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the part of the Premises taken
and Tenant's pro rata share shall be equitably reduced.
If there is a partial taking and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall
end as to the part taken and the Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the part of
the Premises taken and Tenant's pro rata share shall be equitably reduced.
6.02(d). Termination by Landlord. If title to a part of the Building other than
the Premises is condemned, and in Landlord's reasonable opinion, the Building
could only be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises, Landlord
may cancel this Lease by giving notice to Tenant. Cancellation notice shall be
given within sixty (60) days following the date title vested. This Lease shall
end on the date specified in the cancellation notice, which date shall be at
least thirty (30) days but not more than ninety (90) days after the date notice
is given.
18
6.02(e). Rent Adjustment. If the Lease is canceled as provided in paragraphs

6.02(f). Repair. If the Lease is not canceled as provided for in paragraphs
6.02(b), (c), or (d), then Landlord at its expense shall promptly repair and
restore the Premises to the condition that existed immediately before the
taking, except for the part taken, to render the Premises a complete
architectural unit.
6.02(g). Awards and Damages. Landlord reserves all rights to damages paid
because of any partial or entire taking of the Premises. Tenant assigns to
Landlord any right Tenant may have to the damages or award.
Notwithstanding anything else in paragraph 6.02(g), Tenant may claim and
recover from the condemning authority a separate award for Tenant's moving
expenses, business dislocation damages, Tenant's personal property and fixtures,
the unamortized costs of Tenant's Improvements, and any other award that would
not substantially reduce the award payable to Landlord. Each party shall seek
its own award, as limited above, at its own expense, and neither shall have any
right to the award made to the other.
6.02(h). Temporary Condemnation. If part or all of the Premises or the Land as
it affects parking for the Premises are condemned for a limited period of time
("Temporary Condemnation"), this Lease shall remain in effect. The Rent and
Tenant's obligations for the part of the Premises or Land as it affects such
parking taken shall xxxxx during the Temporary Condemnation in proportion to the
part of the Premises or Land as it affects such parking that Tenant is unable to
use in its business operations as a result of the Temporary Condemnation.
Landlord shall receive the entire award for any Temporary Condemnation.

year in which Tenant has already received three (3) notices of its failure to
pay Rent by the due date;
(iii) Tenant's failure to perform or observe any other Tenant obligation after a
period of ten (10) business days or the additional time, if any, that is
reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure, after it
receives notice from Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and
extent of the failure and identifying the applicable Lease provision(s);
(iv) Tenant's abandoning or vacating the Premises if Tenant fails to timely pay
the Rent by the due date;
(v) Tenant's failure to vacate or stay any of the following within sixty (60)
days after they occur:

substantial part of Tenant's property; or
(D) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
19
7.02. Landlord's Remedies.
7.02(a). Remedies. Landlord in addition to the remedies given in this Lease or
under the law, may do any one or more of the following if there is a Default
under paragraph 7.01:
(i) on ten (10) days' notice of intention to end the Term of this Lease, end
this Lease, and at the expiration of said ten (10) days Tenant shall then
surrender the Premises to Landlord; and
(ii) enter and take possession of the Premises either with or without process of
law and remove Tenant, with or without having ended the Lease.
7.02(b). No Surrender. Landlord's exercise of any of its remedies or its receipt
of Tenant's keys shall not be considered an acceptance or surrender of the
Premises by Tenant. A surrender must be agreed to in a writing signed by both
parties.
7.02(c). Rent. If Landlord ends this Lease or ends Tenant's right to possess the
Premises because of a Default, Landlord may hold Tenant liable for Rent, and
other indebtedness accrued to the date the Lease ends. Tenant shall also be
liable for the Rent, and other indebtedness that otherwise would have been
payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term had there been no Default,
reduced by any sums Landlord receives by reletting the Premises during the Term,
and such amounts shall be paid in monthly installments on the day Rent is due
under this Lease.
7.02(d). Other Expenses. Tenant shall also be liable for that part of the
following sums paid by Landlord and attributable to that part of the Term ended
due to Tenant's Default:
(i) reasonable broker's fees incurred by Landlord for reletting part or all of
the Premises prorated for that part of the reletting Term ending concurrently
with the then current Term of this Lease;
(ii) the cost of removing and storing Tenant's property;
(iii) the cost of minor repairs, alterations, and remodeling necessary to put
the Premises in a condition reasonably acceptable to a new Tenant; and
(iv) other necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing
its remedies.
7.02(e). Payment. Tenant shall pay the sums due in paragraphs 7.02(c) and (d)
within thirty (30) days of receiving Landlord's proper and correct invoice for
the amounts. Landlord is not entitled to accelerated Rent. During each action to
collect Landlord shall be limited to the amount of any sums due under paragraph
7.02(c) that would have accrued had the Lease not been ended and sums under
paragraph 7.02(d) that have been incurred by Landlord and are now payable by
Landlord.
7.02(f). Mitigation. Landlord shall mitigate its damage by making commercially
reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on reasonable terms. Landlord may relet
for a shorter or longer period of time than the Lease Term and make any
necessary repairs or alterations. Landlord may relet on any commercially
reasonable terms including a reasonable amount of free rent. If Landlord relets
for a period of time longer than the current Lease Term, then any special
concessions given to the new tenant shall be allocated throughout the entire
reletting Term to not unduly reduce the amount of consideration received by
Landlord during the remaining period of Tenant's Term.
20
7.03. Landlord's Default. Landlord's failure to perform or observe any of its
Lease obligations after a period of thirty (30) business days or the additional
time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the
failure after receiving notice from Tenant is a Default. The notice shall give
in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure and identify the Lease
provision(s) containing the obligation(s). After Tenant receives notice of a
Mortgagee's name and address and request for notice upon Landlord's Default,
Tenant shall provide the notice required by this paragraph to the Mortgagee at
the same time Tenant gives notice to Landlord.
If Landlord commits a Default, in addition to any remedies given in this
Lease or under the law or at equity, Tenant shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure such failure, provided Tenant shall not commence to cure any
default or failure by Landlord if Landlord commences to cure same within said
period and proceeds with due diligence and in good faith to complete such cure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, an emergency
shall exist, Tenant may cure such default without any prior notice to Landlord,
but Tenant nevertheless shall give Landlord notice thereof as soon as
practicable thereafter. Any performance by Tenant of an obligation of Landlord
shall not be construed as a modification or waiver of any provision of this
Lease, and said obligation shall remain the obligation of Landlord. Landlord
shall immediately reimburse Tenant for the costs incurred by Tenant in
performing any of Landlord's obligations hereunder and, if Landlord fails to so
reimburse Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's demand therefor, Tenant
may deduct such costs from the next succeeding payment or payments of any Rent
due to Landlord from Tenant pursuant to this Lease. The exercise by Tenant of
the right granted hereunder to deduct and set-off from Rent shall in no event be
construed as a Default of Tenant.
7.04. [Intentionally Omitted]
7.05. Self-Help. If Tenant commits a Default, Landlord may, without being
obligated and without waiving the Default, cure the Default. Landlord may enter
the Premises to cure the Default. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, all
costs, expenses, and disbursements incurred by Landlord to cure the Default.
7.06. Survival. The remedies permitted by Section 7, the parties' indemnities in
paragraphs 3.03(d) and 5.02, and Landlord's obligation to mitigate damages in
paragraph 7.02(f) shall survive the ending of this Lease.

this Lease is subordinate to prior or subsequent mortgages covering the
Building.
8.01(b). Foreclosures. If any mortgage is foreclosed, or a deed in lieu of
foreclosure is given, then:
(i) This Lease shall continue upon the same terms and conditions with the
Successor Landlord performing the obligations of Landlord;
(ii) Tenant's quiet possession shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in
Default;
(iii) Tenant will attorn to and recognize the mortgagee or purchaser at
foreclosure sale ("Successor Landlord") as Tenant's landlord for the remaining
Term; and

security deposit, if any, and free rent, if any, specified in the Lease,

Landlord's consent which may be made after the Successor Landlord's name is

authorized by the original Lease and does not require Landlord's prior agreement
or consent, and
(C) any liability for any act or omission of a prior Landlord, except to
cure continuing defaults.
8.01(c). Self-Operating. Paragraph 8.01 is self-operating. However, Tenant shall
execute any documents needed to confirm this arrangement and deliver such
executed documents to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receiving the
documents from Landlord. Also, Landlord shall cause to be executed and delivered
to the Tenant any document or instrument reasonably requested by Tenant

(ii) the Beginning and Ending Dates of the Lease;
(iii) that the Lease is unmodified and in full effect or in full effect as
modified, stating the date and nature of the modification;
(iv) whether to the Answering Party's knowledge the Asking Party is in default
or whether the Answering Party has any claims or demands against the Asking
Party and, if so, specifying the Default, claim, or demand; and
(v) to other correct and reasonably ascertainable facts that are covered by the
Lease terms.
8.02(b). Remedy. The Answering Party's failure to comply with its obligation in
paragraph 8.02(a) shall be a Default. Notwithstanding paragraphs 7.01(a)(iii)
and 7.03, the cure period for this Default shall be five (5) business days after
the Answering Party receives notice of the Default.
8.03. Quiet Possession. Landlord warrants that it owns the Building free and
clear of all encumbrances. Subject to the Lease terms, Landlord covenants and
warrants that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises.
