Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this executive order. Marketing of the Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits 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 Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits 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 that the use of the Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on an evaluation if emissions tests were conducted in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the Air Resources Board finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accordingly, the Air Resources Board 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 Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits adversely affects emissions during off—cycle 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are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated.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 Air Resources Board with reason to suspect that the Super Mega Flow Air Filter Kits will affect the durability of the emission control, HKS USA, Inc. shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emissions control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability.

HKS USA, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER D—186—18 SUPER MEGA FLOW AIR FILTER KITS (Page 3 of 3) In addition to the foregoing, the Air Resources Board reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. 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 HKS USA INC.‘S SUPER MEGA FLOW AIR FILTER KITS. No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board" may 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 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. Executive Orders D—186—11, dated October 1, 1993, and D—186—12, dated October 25, 1993, and D— 186—13, dated March 7, 1994 are superseded and of no further force and effect. —ch Pu Executed at El Monte, California, this 5 ~4day of May, 1997. .
