HKS USA, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER D—186—4 POWER FLOW AIR FILTER SYSTEM (Page 2 of 3) Marketing of this Power Flow Air Filter System using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this Power Flow Air Filter System for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. Exemption of the Power Flow Air Filter System 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 is granted based on a determination that the device would not show an adverse effect in emissions if tested using the Cold—Start CVS~75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the Power Flow Air Filter System 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 enission 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 Power Flow Air Filter System 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are beyond the parameters of the Cold—~Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure), this Executive Order shall be effectively rescinded as of the date the test results are validated.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 ARB with reason to suspect that the Power Flow Air Filter System will affect the durability of the emission control system, HKS USA, Inc. 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. In addition to the fctegoing, the ARB 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 Requlations section 2222 et seq. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of this Power Flow Air Filter System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED BENEFITS OF THE HKS USA, INC.‘S POWER FLOW AIR FILTER SYSTEM. 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.
