This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions fdr the High Performance Engine Computer will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the Honda Motor Company. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the High Performance Engine Computer, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the High Performance Engine Computer using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the High Performance Engine Computer for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of the High Performance Engine Computer shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the High Performance Engine Computer may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

.OMPTECH MACHINE Executive Order D—455—6 Aigh Peéerformance Engine Computer (Page 2 of 2) This Executive Order is granted based on the following submitted emissions test data on a 1996 Acura Integra equipped with the 1.8 liter engine and certified to a tier 1 emission standard: NMHC CO NOX Standards 0.25 _ 3.4 0.4 Device w/idfs 0.13 2.6 0.2 Test results showed that the High Performance Engine Computer when installed on the vehicle did not cause tailpipe emissions to exceed the vehicle‘s applicable emission standard during a Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. This Executive Order is also based on On Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) testing conducted on the same vehicle. Test data showed that the High Performance Engine Computer when installed on the vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD l1 monitoring. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the High Performance Engine Computer may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the ARB reserves the right to conduct additional emission tests, in the future, as such tests are developed, that will more adequately measure emissions from all cycle phases. If such test results demonstrate that the High Performance Engine Computer adversely affect emissions during off—cyclie conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated. Further, if such test results or other evidence provides the ARB with ~_reason to suspect that the High Performance Engine Computer will affect the durability of the emission control system, Comptech Machine shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF COMPTECH MACHINE‘S HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE COMPUTER No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board", rhay be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or written communication. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this order. The order may be revoked only after a ten—day written notice of intention to revoke the order, in which period the holder of the order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request and the order may not be revoked until a determination after hearing that grounds for revocation exist. Executed at El Monte, California, this Z.S’rgay of March 2000 @merfield, Chief Mobile Source Operations Division
