Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Breaking a 5 year commercial lease early

I signed a 5 year commercial lease

last July. Our business has taken

quite a hit since the financial disaster

struck, and are now looking to

downsize. We definitely do not want

to be in our current space much

longer. What options do I have, and

how much will I be on the hook for if

the landlord does not rent the space

for a while? I signed a ''good guy''

guarantee, but I'm pretty sure that I

am only on the hook personally if we

refuse to move out, is that correct?
