(Page 1 of 2) State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—213—9 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code VORTECH ENGINEERING, INC. A—TRIM V—1 GEARCHARGER SYSTEM Pursuant to the authority vested in the'Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code; and j Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Section 39515 and Section 39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—45—9; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System, designed to output a maximum of 5 psi. on the standard : output kits and 8 psi on the high output (H.0.) kits, with a 2.5 inch . 5 inducer diameter, manufacturedsby Vortech Engineering, Inc., 5351 Bonsai 3 & Ave., Moorpark, California 93021 has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control system and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for those vehicles, except those equipped with on—board diagnostics II (OBD II), listed with corresponding modifications to the OEM engine systems in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation of the A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by Vortech Engineering, Inc. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System, as exempted 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 A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System 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 A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device. 2 This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of the A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. . This Executive Order is granted based on comparative intake manifold air pressure testing which was recorded during a Hot—Start 505 LA4 drive cycle in the baseline and modified configuration. However, the Air Resources Board finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the A—Trim

VORTECH ENGINEERING, INC. 4 EXECUTIVE ORDER 0—213—9 A—TRIM V—1 GEARCHARGER SYSTEM (Page 2 of 2) V—1 Gearcharger System may adversely affect emissions of motor vehicles when operating under conditions outside the parameters of the previously prescribed test procedures. Accord1ng]y, 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 A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger 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 Air Resources Board with reason to suspect that the A—Trim V—1 Gearcharger System will affect the durability of the emission control, Vortech Engineering, 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 thé add—on or modified part demonstrates adequate durability. 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 VORTECH ENGINEERING, INC.‘S A—TRIM V—1 GEARCHARGER 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. 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.
