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.
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 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 RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S COVENANTS Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, then Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant and subject to the limitations set forth below, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding 30 days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of legal requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.

LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS (a) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Landlord contained in Paragraph 25 above, if Tenant shall be in Default in the performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions to be performed or complied with by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Landlord may at Landlord's option, without any obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant perform any such term, provision, covenant, or condition, or make any such payment and Landlord by reason of so doing shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage thereby sustained by Tenant or anyone holding under or through Tenant or any of Tenant's Agents.
TENANT'S COVENANTS The Tenant covenants with the Landlord:
Tenant’s Obligations Subject to Tenant’s rights set forth in Article 11 below and this Section 9.02, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in good working order the Premises, including the Buildings and any other improvements located thereon, the equipment serving the Buildings, and the other improvements located thereon, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, roofs, foundations and appurtenances to the Buildings, all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning and ventilation systems located in or otherwise serving such Buildings, and all water, sewer and gas connections, pipes and mains which service such Buildings which neither any public utility company nor a public authority is obligated to repair and maintain, and shall put, keep and maintain each Building, and the other improvements on such Parcel in good working order and make all repairs therein and thereon, interior and exterior, structural and nonstructural, necessary to keep the same in good working order and to comply with all applicable Laws, howsoever the necessity or desirability therefor may occur. When used in this Lease, the term “repairs” shall include all alterations, installations, replacements, removals, renewals and restorations, and the phrase “good working order” or “good working condition” means good working order or good working condition, reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Tenant also shall perform common area maintenance and repairs and other duties with respect to the Premises or any adjoining property to the extent that Landlord is required to do so under any REAs (whereupon Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement from any third party pursuant to any such REAs), and (b) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to Tenant’s obligation to maintain the Premises in good working order as set forth above, Tenant shall not be required to make any structural or capital repairs or improvements to the Premises during the last two (2) years of the Term. For purposes of this Section 9.02, “the last two (2) years of the Term” refers to the final years of the Term, as extended, and Tenant’s obligations to repair and maintain the Premises will continue during the last two (2) years of the initial Term with respect thereto or any Extension Period with respect thereto for which Tenant has exercised its Extension Option.
Tenant’s Repair Obligations Tenant shall keep the Premises in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (1) floor covering and/or raised flooring; (2) interior partitions; (3) doors; (4) the interior side of demising walls; (5) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment (collectively, “Cable”) that is installed by or for the benefit of Tenant whether located in the Premises or in other portions of the Building; (6) supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing, dishwashers, ice machines and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively; (7) phone rooms used exclusively by Tenant; (8) Alterations (defined below) performed by contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC balancing; and (9) all of Tenant’s furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment and inventory. Prior to performing any such repair obligation, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord describing the necessary maintenance or repair. Upon receipt of such notice, Landlord may elect either to perform any of the maintenance or repair obligations specified in such notice, or require that Tenant perform such obligations by using contractors approved by Landlord. All work that is Tenant’s responsibility hereunder shall be performed by Tenant (except as otherwise provided herein) at Tenant’s expense in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 9.C below. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required if there is an emergency), Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of the repairs within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 15% of the cost of the repairs.
Rent and Other Charges Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and any other amounts which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease or other agreement entered in connection herewith, are sometimes herein referred to collectively as "Rent," and all remedies applicable to the non-payment of Rent shall be applicable thereto. Rent shall be paid at any office maintained by Landlord or its agent at the Property, or at such other place as Landlord may designate.
