State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D-634 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code H2XOP, Inc. Hydrogen lnjection Device Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G-02-003; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That installation of the Hydrogen Injection Device, manufactured by H2XOP, Inc. (17211 Valley View Ave., Cerritos, California 90703), has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control systems, and therefore, the Hydrogen Injection Device (HES 210) is exempt from the prohibitions in Section 27 156 of the Vehicle Code for installation on 1984-2004 model year Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and International heavy-duty diesel engines from 7.2 liters to 16.2 liters. The HES 21Obdevice consists of a metal case containing a 3-gallon ABS water reservoir, various electrical components, electrical wiring and connectors, and a rubber supply hose for the hydrogen gas. This Executive Order is based on Heavy-Duty Federal Test Procedure (FTP) Transient Cycle tests, Euro Ill European Stationary Cycle (ESC) test, and "Not-to-Exceed" (NTE) test conducted by H2XOP, Inc. with the HES 210 device. If evidence provides the Air Resources Board with reasons to suspect that the HES 210 device will affect the durability of the emission control system, H2XOP shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durabilityd the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected andlor that the add-on or modified parts demonstrate adequate durability. This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the HES 210 device do not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the HES 210 device, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle's emission control system, shall invalidate this Executive Order.

Marketing of the HES 210 device using identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or for an application other than that listed in this Executive-Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of the HES 210 device 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 shall not apply to any HES 210 device advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.

EVALUA'TION SUMMARY Manufacturer Name: HZXOP, Inc. Name of Device: Hydrogen Generator Device (HES 210) Background: H2XOP, Inc. of 17211 Valley View Ave., Cerritos, California 90703 has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the Califorr~iaVehicle Code for its HES 210 device. The device are designed for use on 1984-2004 model year (MY) Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and International heavy-duty diesel engines between 7.2 liters and 16.2 liters. Recommendation: Grant exemption to H2XOP as requested and issue Executive Order D-634. Device Description: - The HES 210 device produces hydrogen through an electrolysis process by supplying electricity from the vehicle's battery to stainless steel metal plates submerged in a reservoir containing distilled water and an activator (potassium hydroxide). The device consists of a metal case containing a 3-gallon ABS water reservoir (which contains the metal plates), a solid-state solenoid and circuit breaker, electrical wiring and connectors, and a rubber supply hose for the hydrogen gas. DiscussionlBasis for the Recommendation: This exemption is based on the following emission tests conducted on two heavy-duty diesel engines with H2XOP's HES 210 device installed: 1. FTP transient cycle test on a 1991 MY Detroit Diesel Series 60 1 12.7 liter diesel engine. 2. FTP transient cycle, Euro Ill ESC 13-mode steady-state, and NTE tests on a 2000 MY Cummins ISM 10.8 liter diesel engine.
