In any case in which Lynnwood is required to transport the <br />inmate pursuant to subsection <br />(a) or (b) of this paragraph, Lynnwood shall be reimbursed by the Contracting Agency for any actual <br />expense incurred in transport of an inmate if, in fact, transportation of an inmate by Lynnwood becomes <br />necessary.
