1.INTRODUCTION1.1IntroductionThis Network Code relates to the TAP Transportation System, contains the rules and procedures for theoperation of the TAP Transportation System and details the rights and obligations of the Transporter,Registered Parties and Shippers in respect of the booking and use of Capacity Products. This NetworkCode applies to all Registered Parties and Shippers and is an integral part of each Gas TransportationAgreement.1.2Background to the TAP Transportation SystemThe Transporter has obtained an exemption from provisions on third party access, regulated tariff andownership unbundling, subject to the terms of the Final Joint Opinion of the Energy Regulators on TAPAG's Exemption Application dated 6 June 2013, granted by the NRAs pursuant to Directive2009/73/EC. The NRAs have subsequently approved the Transporter’s tariff methodology,incorporated in the Gas Transportation Agreement as schedule 5 of the General Terms and Conditions,and, as required by section 4.1.3 of the Final Joint Opinion, a legal process approved by the NRAs forthe allocation and reallocation of initial capacity (the Initial Capacity Allocation Mechanism).Reserved Capacity has already been made available in accordance with the Initial Capacity AllocationMechanism and in the first Market Test, conducted prior to the start of construction of the pipeline. TheTransporter will, for the whole 25 year duration of the exemption, make an amount of the technicalcapacity at each Entry Point and Exit Point available for products with duration of up to one year inaccordance with the terms of the Final Joint Opinion.The capacity in the TAP Transportation System can be expanded up to a total capacity of 20 bcmathrough pre-defined incremental steps. The Transporter will offer this Expansion Capacity to the marketby means of Market Tests, to be conducted on a bi-annual basis. The rules and procedures by whichShippers or Registered Parties can request Expansion Capacity are set out in Section 6.9.1.3Operations Code and Final Joint OpinionThis Network Code:(a)constitutes the "Operations Code" as referred to in the Gas Transportation Agreements enteredinto by the Transporter prior to the date this Network Code is published; and(b)is the "TAP Network Code" referred to in section 4.7.1 of the Final Joint Opinion.0086072-0000001 UKO1: 2000813368.31

Pipeline Conventions DEFINITION: a K-Stage Pipeline(“K-pipeline”) is an acyclic circuit having exactly K registers on everypath from an input to an output. a COMBINATIONAL CIRCUIT is thus an 0-stage pipeline. CONVENTION: Every pipeline stage, hence every K-Stage pipeline, has a register on its OUTPUT(not on its input). ALWAYS:
