                   Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156

                                    POLARION~X

WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Section 27156 and Title 13 California Code of
Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(e), authorize the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) and its Executive Officer to exempt add—on and
modified parts from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156.

WHEREAS, Azaka Company has applied to the ARB for exemption from the
prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for the Polarion—X.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health
and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Division by
Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G—45—5, the Air
Resources Board finds:

     1.    The Polarion—X is an add—on device that is attached to the fuel
           line in a motor vehicle.

    2.     The fuel line is part of the required motor vehicle pollution
           control system.

    3.     The Polarion—X is intended for use with a required pollution
           control system.

    4.     The Polarion—X by being installed on the fuel line alters the
           original design of a motor vehicle pollution control system.

    5.     The Polarion~—X is a device subject to the prohibitions of Vehicle
           Code Section 27156 and an add—on part as defined by 13 CCR Section
           1900 (b)(1).

    6.     The Polarion—X does not reduce the effectiveness of any required
           motor vehicle pollution control device.

    7.     The ARB,   in the exercise of technical judgement,   is aware of no
           basis on which the Polarion—X will provide either a decrease in
           emission or an increase in fuel economy.

    8.     It has not been determined what effect use of the Polarion—X may
           have on any warranty, either expressed or implied, by the
           manufacturer of a motor vehicle on which the device is installed.

     9.    The Polarion—X is not a certified motor vehicle pollution control
           device pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 43644.

     10.   The ARB by granting an exemption to Azaka Company for the
           Polarion—X does not recommend or endorse in any way the Polarion—X
           for emissions reduction, fuel economy, or any other purpose.

              on, a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an
              ultimate purchaser.

      2.      No changes are permitted to the device as described in the
              application for exemption. Any changes to the device, applicable
              model year, or other factors addressed in this order must be
              evaluated and approved by the ARB prior to marketing in
              California.

      3.      Marketing of this device using an identification other than that
              shown in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an
              application other than those listed in Executive Order shall be
              prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB.
              Exemption of this product shall not be construed as an exemption
              to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the product
              as an individual device.

      4.      Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its

              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 fuel economy or emissions
              reduction claims for the Polarion—X and is only a finding that the
              device is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section
              27156.

      5.      No claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources

              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 a 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.
