                                    State of California
                               AlIR RESOURCES BOARD

                             EXECUTIVE ORDER D—280—35
                      Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156
                                   of the Vehicle Code

                             AirTek, Inc. (d.b.a. Catco)
            "Series 712000 OBD II Compliant Three—way Catalytic Converter"

WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156, and Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of
Regulations, authorize the California Air Resources Board and its Executive Officer to
exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section
27156.

WHEREAS, AirTek, Inc. (AirTek) of 4410 W. 37"" Avenue, Hobart, Indiana 46342, has
applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code
Sections 27156 to market its new aftermarket Series 712000 three—way catalytic converter
(TWC) for 1996 through 2003 selected Isuzu/Honda light—duty trucks 2 (LDT2) equipped with
on—board diagnostic II (OBD—II) systems as specified in Appendix D—280—35 and incorporated
herein. The catalytic converter may be used for single or multiple catalytic converter
applications as listed in Appendix D—280—35. The Series 712000 TWC mayalso be installed
on non—OBD II vehicles (1995 and older) similar in engine and exhaust conflguratlon to those
listed in Appendix D—280—35.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health and Safety
Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by Health and
Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—02—003, the ARB finds that the above
aftermarket catalytic converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Section 27156 and
Section 2222(h), Title 13, California Code of Regulations. The emissions performance of
said catalytic converter was based on durability bench—aging by Compliance and Research
Services, Inc. using the ARB—modified RAT—A bench—aging cycle for 100 hours, as specified
in the "Optional Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic
Converters Equipped With On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) Systems."

WHEREAS, previous emissions and OBD II compatibility tests conducted by AirTek, Inc.
using a vehicle of a weight classification and exhaust configuration similar to those listed in
Appendix D—280—35 and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards resulted in the
issuance of Executive Order D—280—13, it was determined that the installation of Series
612000 TWC on the vehicles listed in Appendix D—280—35 meets the requnrements of
California regulations for aftermarket catalytic converters.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the above catalytic converter is exempt from the prohibitions
in Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on the approved vehicle applications specified
in Appendix D—280—35 subject to the following conditions:

       1.     No changes are permitted to the catalytic converter as described in the
              application for exemption. Any changes to the catalytic converter or any of its
              components, and other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and
              approved by the Air Resources Board prior to marketing in California.


                                —7—

Marketing of the catalytic converter using identifications other than those shown
in the exemption application, and in this Executive Order, or marketing of the
catalytic converter for application other than the ones shown in this Executive
Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air
Resources Board. Exemption of this product shall not be construed as an
exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the catalytic
converter as individual devices.

Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by AirTek,
Inc., its principals, agents, employees, distributors, dealers, or other
representatives must include the disclaimer that the Executive Order or the >
exemption it provides is not an endorsement or approval of any emission
reduction claims for the catalytic converter and is only a finding that the
catalytic converter is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section
27156.

AirTek, Inc.‘s installation instructions for the new catalytic converter must
conform to requirements in Paragraphs | and X of the "Optional Evaluation _
Procedures for New Aftermarket Non—original Equipment Catalytic Converters
Equipped With On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) Systems."

Upon installation, the catalytic converter must carry a manufacturer‘s warranty
for 50,000 miles on the substrates and 50,000 miles or five years on the shell
and end pipes.

AirTek, Inc. and its vendors may not advertise the new aftermarket catalytic
converter as a "high or easy flow" catalytic converter or use any phrase that
could make it appear to perform better than an original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) catalytic converter.

The new aftermarket catalytic converter substrate may not be sold or supplied
to a third party by AirTek, its associates, vendors, other businesses, and
individuals associated with AirTek, to be assembled in a different facility and
marketed under this Executive Order.

Any marketing arrangement of the new aftermarket catalytic converter by a third
party, which involves the use of packaging identification different from the ones
described in this Executive Order must be approved by Air Resources Board
prior to shipment.

AirTek must submit the required quality audit and production quantity reports
for its aftermarket catalytic converter semi—annually, covering the periods
January 1 through June 30, and July 1 through December 31.
