The maximum boost is 8 psi. on the Ford and General Motors vehicles and 9.2 psi. on the Chrysler PT—Cruisers. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the supercharger will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of the vehicle ° manufacturer. Whipple Industries, Inc. recommends that only premium fuel be used. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the WhippleCharger, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Whipple Industries WhippleCharger advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. Marketing of the supercharger using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the supercharger 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 supercharger 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 supercharger may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on emissions test data generated on the following test vehicles using the Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedures. Emission levels of the modified vehicles met the applicable emission standards. The following test results are in grams per mile: WHIPPLE INDUSTRIES, INC.—WHIPPLECHARGER—D—231—20

(OBD [I) tests conducted on the same test vehicles. Test data showed that the supercharger when installed on the vehicles did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. _ This Executive Order is granted based on submitted emissions test data which show that emissions are not affected during the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedures. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist to believe that use of the WhippleCharger 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 WhippleCharger adversely affects emissions during off—cycle conditions (defined as those conditions which are beyond the parameters of the Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedures), 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 WhippleCharger will affect the durability of the emission control system, Whipple 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 foregoing, 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 Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. ¢ WHIPPLE INDUSTRIES, INC.—WHIPPLECHARGER—D—231—20

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.
