                             Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code

Vehicle Code; and

Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and 39516 of the Health
and Safety Code and Executive Order G—02—003;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That installation of the Replacement Fuel Storage System,
manufactured by Transfer Flow, Inc. (TFl) of 1444 Fortress Street, Chico, California 95973, has
been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control system,
and therefore, the Replacement Fuel Storage System is exempt from the prohibitions in Section
27156 of the Vehicle Code for installation on the following vehicles:

This Executive Order is based on testing TFI previously conducted with the Replacement
Fuel Storage System. Based on test results, it was concluded that TFI‘s Replacement Fuel
Storage System would not adversely affect the vehicle‘s evaporative or refueling emissions
or reduce the effectiveness of its On—Board Diagnostics II System. The same results are
expected when the Replacement Fuel Storage System is used on any of the vehicles listed
above.

Exemption of the Replacement Fuel Storage System shall not be construed as an exemption to
sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the Replacement Fuel Storage System as
individual devices.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any device advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or
installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions for the Replacement Fuel
Storage System do not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those
of the vehicle manufacturer.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Replacement Fuel Storage
System, as exempt by the ARB, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s
pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

Marketing of the Replacement Fuel Storage System using an identification other than that
shown in this Executive Order or for an application other than those listed in this Executive
Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB.

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.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the
Replacement Fuel Storage System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied
by the vehicle manufacturer.

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.

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 TRANSFER FLOW,
INC.‘S REPLACEMENT FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this Executive
Order. The Executive Order may be revoked only after a ten—day written notice of intention
to revoke the Executive Order, in which period the holder of the Executive 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 Executive Order may not be
revoked until a determination is made after the hearing that grounds for revocation exist.

Executed at El Monte, California, this     _&£ TA     day of October 2003.
