Landlord's Obligation Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 11.2 Landlord shall not be required to make any alterations, reconstructions, replacements, changes, additions, improvements or repairs of any kind or nature whatsoever to the Premises or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, any portion of the Improvements or any FF&E) at any time during the Term of this Lease. Landlord agrees that it shall be Landlord's responsibility to make and pay for major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements or additions to the Premises, structure, roof or exterior facade, and to its mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation systems (all of the foregoing the "Major Repairs"). In this regard, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord for its review and approval, an annual estimate (the "Building Estimate") of the expenses necessary for Major Repairs which Tenant believes should be made to the Premises for the following Lease Year, which Building Estimate shall be submitted to Landlord for its review and approval not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year during the Term hereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Section 23.9 shall not be applicable to this Section 11.2 and any Major Repairs not approved by Landlord shall not be made; provided, however, that Landlord agrees that it will not withhold its consent with respect to Major Repairs which are required by reason of any law, ordinance, regulation or order of governmental authority having jurisdiction (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgement) for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Premises or which are required by the Franchise Agreement or which are required in the case of an emergency. If the Landlord does not approve the Building Estimate or any Major Repair contemplated therein, the parties shall attempt in good faith during the subsequent thirty (30) day period to resolve any disputes, which attempts shall include, if requested by either party, at least one meeting of executive-level officers of Landlord and Tenant. In the event that the parties are still not able to reach agreement on the Building Estimate for any particular Lease Year after complying with the foregoing requirements of this Section 11.2, the parties shall adopt such portions of the Building Estimate as they may have agreed upon and any matters not agreed upon shall be referred to arbitration. Pending the results of such arbitration or the earlier agreement of the parties, no Major Repairs shall be made unless the same are set forth in a previously approved Building Estimate or are specifically required by Landlord or otherwise required in case of emergency as aforesaid. With respect to any such matter to be submitted to arbitration, Landlord shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within fifteen (15) days after written demand for arbitration is received or sent by Landlord. In the event Landlord fails to make such designation within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within fifteen (15) days after Landlord fails to timely make such designation. In the event no nationally recognized accounting firm satisfying such qualifications is available and willing to serve as arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from among the members of its panel who are qualified and who have experience in resolving matters of a nature similar to the matter to be resolved by arbitration. In any event a single arbitrator shall be designated and shall resolve the dispute. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on all parties and shall not be subject to further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed by applicable law. Upon failure of either party to comply with the arbitrator's decision, the arbitrator shall be empowered at the request of the other party to order such compliance by the non-complying party and to supervise or arrange for the supervision of the non-complying party to comply with the arbitrator's decision, all at the expense of the non-complying party. To the maximum extent possible, the arbitrator and the parties, and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, shall take any action necessary to ensure that the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days following such dispute. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Landlord and the Tenant. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties or required by the arbitrator or the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in the state where the Premises are located. Notwithstanding formal rules of evidence, each party may submit such evidence as each party deems appropriate to support its position and the arbitrator shall have access to and the right to examine all books and records of Landlord and Tenant regarding the Premises during such arbitration. In the event of the receipt by Tenant of a governmental order or other circumstances ascribed in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall promptly deliver the same to Landlord. The cost of Major Repairs shall be borne by Landlord and upon funding of the same by Landlord, Base Rent shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in the event that funding is necessary for Major Repairs, Landlord shall provide the funds required for such expenditures ("Additional Capital Investment") and Base Rent shall be increased by the amount necessary to provide a per annum yield on the Additional Capital Investment equal to the greater of (a) ten percent 10.00% or (b) the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Securities (at the time the Additional Capital Investment is requested by Tenant), plus 375 basis points.
Landlord’s Notice Address The Landlord’s Notice Address as set forth in the Basic Lease Information of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Sublandlord’s Obligations Sublandlord does not assume any obligation to perform the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements contained in the Prime Lease on the part of Prime Landlord to be performed. In the event Prime Landlord shall fail to perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements contained in the Prime Lease on its part to be performed, Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable, good-faith efforts to enforce the obligations of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, and such efforts shall include, without limitation: (i) upon Subtenant’s written request, notifying Prime Landlord of any nonperformance under the Prime Lease and requesting that Prime Landlord perform its obligations thereunder; and (ii) after the time for Prime Landlord to cure a breach has expired, cooperating with Subtenant, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, to enforce Prime Landlord’s obligations, which cooperation shall include, in cases of any uncured breach by Prime Landlord that, in Subtenant’s reasonable opinion, materially impairs the conduct of Subtenant’s business operations within the Demised Premises, instituting legal proceedings so long as Subtenant is not in default, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, of its payment obligations under this Section 9(b), in the name of Subtenant with legal counsel selected by Sublandlord and reasonably approved by Subtenant, to enforce the aforesaid unperformed, material Prime Landlord obligation under the Prime Lease (including executing such documents as may be reasonably required by such legal counsel). Sublandlord and Subtenant shall be entitled to jointly control the conduct of the litigation; provided, however that in the conduct of any such litigation, both Sublandlord and Subtenant shall have an obligation to act in a commercially reasonable manner and with the goal of employing a strategy which is designed to secure performance of the aforesaid unperformed, material Prime Landlord obligation under the Prime Lease, provided no action, including settlement, may be taken or required by either party in connection with such litigation to the extent such action may materially and adversely affect the other party’s rights or obligations under the Prime Lease or Sublease without such other party’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. All costs incurred in connection with any enforcement action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and consultant and expert witness fees) undertaken by Sublandlord at the request of Subtenant shall be paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant, as Additional Rent, upon Sublandlord’s delivery to Subtenant of reasonably detailed invoices therefor. In the event of any dispute regarding responsibility for payment of such costs, or any dispute regarding whether either party is acting in a commercially reasonable manner and with the goal of employing a strategy which is designed to secure, subject to the conditions above, performance of the aforesaid unperformed, material Prime Landlord obligation under the Prime Lease, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as set forth in Article 41 of the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord against, and hold Sublandlord harmless from, all costs, expenses, claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, losses, and liabilities incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any initiation of litigation by Sublandlord pursuant to the foregoing provisions, except to the extent such litigation is caused by Sublandlord’s default under this Sublease or, to the extent not caused by Subtenant, by Sublandlord’s default under the Prime Lease. The execution of this Sublease and Prime Landlord’s consent thereto, shall not relieve Sublandlord of any of its obligations to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. A copy of the Prime Lease is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C.
Time of the Essence in This Tenant Work Letter Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days. If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.
Landlord’s Obligations Except as provided in Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation) and Section 6.04(b) below, and subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 regarding repairs during the initial construction warranty period, LANDLORD shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep the foundations, resurfacing or replacement of parking lot surface, structural portions of the building (including foundations, the slab, and compliance with earthquake code), replacement of the structural portions of the roof (and the roof membrane), the structural portions of the roof top signage, if any, the pylon signage, if any, exterior walls, fire sprinkler system (if any) and utility connections to the building (water, sewer, electrical, phone, etc.) in good order, condition and repair. LANDLORD shall make repairs under this Section 6.03 within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from TENANT of the need for such repairs. If LANDLORD fails to commence to meet any obligation hereunder, including without limitation Section 6.03 and Section 4.05, within a reasonable amount of time after TENANT’s notice thereof (not exceeding 15 days, except in the case of an emergency or dangerous condition, in which event no notice shall be required), then TENANT may, but shall not be obligated to do so and without waiving any other rights or remedies provided hereunder or by law, perform any portion of LANDLORD’s obligations and deduct all reasonable amounts expended in connection therewith from TENANT’s subsequent, financial obligations to LANDLORD. All notices sent to LANDLORD prerequisite of TENANT’s exercise of its rights pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall contain the words ‘Notice of Intention to Exercise Self-Help Rights’ in the “Re” line or otherwise prominently noted at the top of such notice. Subject to satisfaction of the provisions of Section 11.01 with respect to TENANT’s receipt of recorded non-disturbance agreements from each lender, TENANT shall send copies of any notice referring to TENANT’s self-help rights to such lender(s) as TENANT has been notified in writing by LANDLORD from time to time, at such addresses as LANDLORD specifies in such notice(s). TENANT will accept a cure by any such lender as a cure, to the extent of such cure, of LANDLORD’s obligations under this LEASE. The self-help and offset rights set forth in this Section shall inure solely to the benefit of 99¢ Only Stores and only such of its assignees as may be owned by it, under the control of it, under the control of any entity which also controls it, or which own not less than ten (10) stores operated under the name ‘99¢ Only Stores’ or such other name as may be employed by TENANT in its retail operations prior to such assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, TENANT shall have the right to install and maintain antennae and/or a satellite dish on the roof of the PREMISES, subject to applicable law. TENANT shall promptly repair any damage to, the roof of the PREMISES which is caused by the installation and maintenance of said antennae and/or satellite dish.
Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 14, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer other than to a Permitted Transferee which, together with all prior Transfers then remaining in effect, would cause fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises to be Transferred for more than fifty percent (50%) of the then remaining Lease Term (taking into account any extension of the Lease Term which has irrevocably exercised by Tenant), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer in the subject Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”), the contemplated date of commencement of the Contemplated Transfer (the “Contemplated Effective Date”), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 14.4, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 14, for a period of nine (9) months (the “Nine Month Period”) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the Nine Month Period, provided that any such Transfer is substantially on the terms set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 14. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Nine Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Nine Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 14.4. Tenant shall not be required to provide a separate Intention to Transfer Notice and Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations in this Section 14.4.
Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion Subject to the terms hereof and provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with, or delay, Contractor’s work in the Building and the Premises, at Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing any necessary furniture, equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and telephone equipment) in the Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.01, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry, and Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant to coordinate Landlord’s Contractor’s work of constructing the Tenant Improvements with such access by Tenant for the installation of Tenant’s furniture, equipment and fixtures. In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s Contractor, agents or representatives in performing work in the Building and the Premises, or interfere with the general operation of the Building and/or the Project; and such entry shall be subject to the site management rules of Landlord and Landlord’s Contractor. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant’s entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees. If the performance of Tenant’s work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord’s standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 6.01.
TENANT'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE From time to time, upon written request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its designee, a written certificate stating (a) the date this Lease was executed, the Commencement Date of the Term and the date the Term expires; (b) the date Tenant entered into occupancy of the Premises; (c) the amount of Rent and the date to which such Rent has been paid; (d) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way (or, if assigned, modified, supplemented or amended, specifying the date and terms of any agreement so affecting this Lease); (e) that this Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Tenant’s right to use and occupy the Premises (or specifying such other agreements, if any); (f) that all obligations under this Lease to be performed by Landlord as of the date of such certificate have been satisfied (or specifying those as to which Tenant claims that Landlord has yet to perform); (g) that all required contributions by Landlord to Tenant on account of Tenant’s improvements have been received (or stating exceptions thereto); (h) that on such date there exist no defenses or offsets that Tenant has against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord (or stating exceptions thereto); (i) that no Rent or other sum payable by Tenant hereunder has been paid more than one (1) month in advance (or stating exceptions thereto); (j) that a currently valid Letter of Credit has been deposited with Landlord, stating the original amount thereof and any increases or decreases thereto; and (k) any other matters evidencing the status of this Lease that may be required either by a lender making a loan to Landlord to be secured by a deed of trust covering the Building or the Project or by a purchaser of the Building or the Project. Any such certificate delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 30 may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser of Landlord’s interest or a mortgagee of Landlord’s interest or assignee of any mortgage upon Landlord’s interest in the Premises. If Tenant shall fail to provide such certificate within ten (10) days of receipt by Tenant of a written request by Landlord as herein provided, such failure shall, at Landlord’s election, constitute a Default under this Lease, and Tenant shall be deemed to have given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to a prospective purchaser or mortgagee.
