ELECTROMOTIVE, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER D—346 (Page 2 of 3) IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the above fuel injection conversion kit is exempt from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 ‘and 38391 for installation on applicable vehicles subject to the following conditions: 1. The installation of the 4.2L Jeep Fuel Injection Conversion Kit will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted by the device manufacturer. 2. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the JFI kit, as exempted by the ARB, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. 3. Marketing of the JFI kit using identifications other than those shown in the exemption application or marketing of the JFI kit for vehicle application other than the one listed in this order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the ARB. Exemption of the JFI kit shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any of its components as individual devices. 4. Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by Electromotive, 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 emissions reduction claims for the JFI kit and is only a finding that it is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This Executive Order is granted based on results from emissions tests conducted in accordance with Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. However, the ARB finds that reasonable grounds exist for believing that use of the TEC II computer as part of the JFI kit 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 emissions 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 performance of the JFI kit 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 ARB with reason to suspect that TEC II will affect the durability of the emission control system, Electromotive, Inc. 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.

ELECTROMOTIVE, INC. EXECUTIVE ORDER D~346 (Page 3 of 3) 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. and any future amendments thereto. > 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 ELECTROMOTIVE, INC.‘S 4.2L JEEP FUEL INJECTION CONVERSION KIT. 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. Section 17500 of the Business and Professions Code makes untrue or misleading advertising unlawful, and Section 17534 makes violation punishable as a misdemeanor. Séction 43644 of the Health and Safety Code provides as follows: "43644, (a) No person shall install, sell, offer for sale, or advertise, or, except in an application to the state board for certification of a device, represent, any device as a motor vehicle pollutioh control device for use on any used motor vehicle unless that device has been certified by the state board. No person shall sell, offer for sale, advertise, or represent any motor vehicle pollution control device as a certified device which, in fact, is not a certified device. Any violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor." Violation of any of the above conditions of this Executive Order may result in its rescission or submission to the Attorney General of California for such action as he deems advisable.
