Subtenant shall pay each Transfer Premium payment to Tenant within ten (10) days after Subtenant receives Sub-Subtenant's corresponding payment of rent under the Sub-Sublease.

"A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law.

The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises."
