In Agr-less model, Exp and Subj are Specs of T with Tomax as head, Uninterpretable [D] feature of Exp in tbe outer Spec of T is deleted by adjoining [N] of the associate NP through free riding when FF(A) adjoins to matrix Tomax to cbeck Case and φof T. If the uninterpretable strong [nominal] feature of T is cbecked but not erased acrorrung to parametric property of T, then Exp with PF effect is inserted in the outer Spec of T from the numeration, obtaining MSCs. The typical example is Icelandic with two Specs when one time of [-erase] is selected. In other words, MSC with [+strong T] tolerates single unforced violation of Procrastinate. In Agree theory, discarding Tomax adjuoction, Exp(there) is taken to be XO(Probe) rather than [D]. The only [person] feature on Exp in normal expletive construction or MSCs is checked through Agree or multiple Agree.
