AUTOTRONIC CONTROLS CORPORATION EXECUTIVE ORDER D—40—26 IGNITIONS (Page 2 of 2) This exemption is issued based on information supplied by the device manufacturer which demonstrates that the ignition system components met the requirements of compliance criteria for ignition system components as specified under the "Procedures for Exemption of Add—On and Modified Parts" and therefore, will not increase emissions. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Ignitions will not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of the vehicle‘s manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Ignitions, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of the Ignitions using any identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or marketing of the Ignitions for an application other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of the Ignitions shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device. This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the Ignitions may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle‘s manufacturer. 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 AUTOTRONIC‘S IGNITIONS. 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. 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.
