Section 1. The Company has presented an application in a form acceptable to the

Page 3 of 10
Company’s application and in related correspondence, the Authority hereby finds and determines
that:
(A) By virtue of the Act, the Authority has been vested with all powers necessary and
convenient to carry out and effectuate the purposes and provisions of the Act and to exercise all
powers granted to it under the Act; and
(B) The Authority has the authority to take the actions contemplated herein under the
Act; and
(C) The action to be taken by the Authority will induce the Company to develop the
Project, thereby increasing employment opportunities in the City of Troy, New York, and
otherwise furthering the purposes of the Authority as set forth in the Act; and
(D) The Project will not result in the removal of a civic, commercial, industrial, or

evidence of liability insurance policy for the Project satisfactory to the Authority, the Authority
