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. Except as otherwise expressly agreed upon in writing by Landlord and Tenant (including in the Lease), neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any obligation for the payment of the CASp fee or the cost of making repairs pursuant to a CASp inspection, nor shall Landlord or Tenant have any liability to the other arising out of or related to the fact that neither the Building, the Leased Premises nor the Premises have been inspected by a CASp.

6.    Tenant’s CUP Application. In consideration of Tenant’s covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained, Landlord shall approve and shall execute any reasonable document related to Tenant’s conditional use permit application to the City of North Hollywood, California to allow Tenant to sell and serve alcoholic beverages in and upon the Premises.

Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the balance of the Lease Term. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall supersede and prevail.
