5. OPERATING CONDITIONS
5.1 General
(a) Buyer shall make or cause to be made all necessary arrangements
with third parties to effectuate (i) delivery to Operator of LNG
at the Cove Point terminal, and (ii) receipt by downstream
transporters of Natural Gas, all such arrangements consistent
with the operation of this Rate Schedule and the GT&C of this
Tariff.
(b) All discharging, storage and vaporization of LNG at the Cove
Point terminal shall be carried out in strict conformity with
all operating and safety rules and procedures of Operator, as
may be amended from time to time, and with all federal, State
and local laws, rules and regulations pertaining, but not
limited to, operational, environmental, health and safety which
may be applicable to the services provided herein.
5.2 LNG Tankers
(a) Unless otherwise agreed to by Operator, Operator shall only
provide LNG discharging service for Buyer's LNG tanker(s) having
specifications and characteristics as set forth in Section 5.3(a)
of this Rate Schedule LTD-1. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, Operator shall be obligated to receive LNG from an LNG
tanker not meeting the specifications set forth in Section 5.3(a)
if in Operator's sole judgment, reasonably exercised, the tanker
is otherwise compatible with the Cove Point terminal facilities.
Except for changes required for legal, safety or regulatory
reasons, Operator will not file for any change of the
specifications in this Section 5.3 without agreement of the
majority of LTD-1 Buyers (based upon capacity entitlement).
Operator will provide Buyer at least three (3) months notice of
changes to the specifications unless shorter notice is required
for legal safety or regulatory reasons. Nothing in this section
is intended to prevent any LTD-1 Buyer who has not agreed to such
proposal from opposing such change before the Commission.
