        (3)    A Class –TP type license is not transferable to another location but is transferable to another person, subject to the restrictions on similar transfers for other licenses in the county.
        (4)    (i)    A Class –TP type license is subject to the same conditions and restrictions specified by law or by the Board as are other licenses issued by the Board.
            (ii)    The Board may waive whatever statutory and regulatory provision that the Board chooses for the affected licenses so that equity, fairness, and reasonableness are achieved.
    (c)    (1)    Notwithstanding that holders of Class –TP type licenses as of July 1, 1997, are subject to county laws and regulations, those same license holders may retain the particular Prince George’s County alcoholic beverages license they possessed before unification.
        (2)    (i)    The Prince George’s County license shall remain valid except that the license does not apply to the licensed premises to which the Class –TP type license applies, but is an open–location license.
            (ii)    The Prince George’s County license holder may transfer, to another person or to a new location with the same license holder, the license into Prince George’s County without statutory or regulatory restriction.
