The minimum amounts of insurance required under this Section shall not be construed to limit the extent of Tenant's liability under this lease.

 B.All such insurance shall be written in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord by an insurance company in a financial size category of not less than XII and with general policy holders' ratings of not less than A, as rated in the most current available "Best's" insurance reports, or the then equivalent thereof, and licensed to do business in New York State and authorized to issue such policies.  Duly executed certificates of insurance (including endorsements and evidence of the waivers of subrogation required pursuant to Section 10.04) or, if required by Landlord, certified copies or duplicate originals of the original policies, together with reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment of the premiums therefor, shall be delivered to Landlord, on or before the Commencement Date.

If such waiver, agreement or permission shall cease to be obtainable without additional charge, then if the other party shall so elect and shall pay the insurer's additional charge therefor, such waiver, agreement or permission shall be included in the policy, or the other party shall be named as an additional insured in the policy, provided, however, that Tenant shall at no time be named a loss payee under any of Landlord's insurance policies.

10.05.Each party hereby releases the other party with respect to any claim (including a claim for negligence) which it might otherwise have against the other party for loss, damage or destruction with respect to its property (including rental value or business interruption) occurring during the Term and with respect and to the extent to which it is insured under a policy or policies containing a waiver of subrogation or permission to release liability or naming the other party as an additional insured, as provided in Section 10.04.

20.02.If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially damaged or partially destroyed by fire or other cause, the rents payable hereunder shall be abated to the extent that the Demised Premises shall have been rendered Untenantable (hereinafter defined) and for the period from the date of such damage or destruction to the date the damage shall be repaired or restored.

Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in or to every such award. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, make an independent claim with the condemning authority for Tenant's property and for moving expenses, provided, however, that Landlord's award is not thereby reduced or otherwise adversely affected.

21.04.In the event of any taking of less than the whole of the Building which does not result in a termination of this lease, or in the event of a taking for a temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises which does not extend beyond the Expiration Date, Landlord, at its expense, and to the extent any award or awards shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair, alter and restore the remaining parts of the building and the Demised Premises to substantially a Building standard condition to the extent that the same may be feasible and so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 25

25.01.If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 23 or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of Article 24, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of re-enter, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages;

  The sum equal to the fixed rent and the additional rent (as above presumed) payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re-entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in re-entering the Demised Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including altering and preparing the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom; it being understood that Tenant shall in no event be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Subsection to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord.

25.02Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this lease would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 23, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises.

ARTICLE 26

Waivers

26.02.Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, including any claim of injury or damage, or any emergency or other statutory remedy with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 27

No other Waivers or Modifications

27.01The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of this lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or more obligations of this lease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. No executory agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this lease, in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this lease and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release, discharge or termination or effectuation of the abandonment is sought.

 (a)no agreement to accept a surrender of all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

 (b)the receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of breach of any obligation of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach;

 (c)no payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct fixed rent or additional rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, not shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this lease or at law provided;

 (d)no work or repairs performed by Landlord in the Building shall be deemed a constructive eviction of Tenant.
