                                State of California
                                AIR RESOURCES BOARD
                            EXECUTIVE ORDER D—348—3
                   Relating to Exemption Under Section 27156
                              of the Vehicle Code
                                 GMX CORPORATION
                                  GMX MODEL 400
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, GMX Corporation of 13771 Roswell Avenue,      Chino, California 91710,
has applied to the ARB for exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code
Section 27156 for the GMX Model 400.
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—9, the ARB
finds:
       1.     The GMX Model 400 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 GMX Model 400 is intended for use with a required pollution
              control system.
       4.     The GMX Model 400 by being installed on the fuel line alters
              the original design of a motor vehicle pollution control
              system.
       5.     The GMX Model 400 is a device subject to the prohibitions of
              Vehicle Code Section 27156 and an add—on part as defined by
              Title 13, CCR Section 1900(b)(1).
       6.     The GMX Model 400 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 GMX Model 400 will provide either a decrease
              in emission or an increase in fuel economy.
      8.      It has not been determined what effect use of the GMX Model 400
              may have on any warranty, either expressed or implied, by the
              manufacturer or a motor vehicle on which the device is
              installed.
      9.      The GMX Model 400 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 GMX Corporation for the GMX
              Model 400 does not recommend or endorse in any way the GMX
              Model 400 for emissions reduction,      fuel economy,   or any other
              purpose.


GMX CORPORATION                                  EXECUTIVE ORDER D—348——3
GMX MODEL 400                                    (Page 2 of 2)




IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the GMX Model 400 is exempt from the prohibitions
of Vehicle Code Section 27156 for installation on 1998 and older model—year
gasoline and diesel powered vehicles subject to the following conditions:

        1.      This exemption shall not apply to any device, apparatus, or
                mechanism advertised, offered for sale or sold with, or
                installed 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 this 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
                content by GMX Corporation, 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 fuel economy
                or emissions reduction claims for the GMX Model 400 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
                Board" may be made with respect to the action taken in any
                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.

Executive Order D—348—2, dated February 22,      1996,   is superseded and of no
further force and effect.

The Bureau of Automotive Repair will be notified by copy of this order.

Executed at El Monte,   California,   this   2’2# day       ovember 1997.
