AUTOTRONIC CONTROLS CORPORATION                                   EXECUTIVE ORDER D—40—33
IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS                                        (Page 2 of 2)



This exemption is issued based on information supplied by the device manufacturer which
demonstrates that the ignition system components meet 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 also based on
an On Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) testing conducted on a 1996 Chevrolet Impala with the MSD
6A. The ignition system component when installed on the vehicle did not affect its ability to perform
OBD 11 monitoring.

This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Ignition System
Components 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 Ignition System Components, 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 Ignition System Components using any identification other than that shown in this
Executive Order or marketing of the Ignition System Components 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 IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

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 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 is made after the hearing that grounds for revocation exist.

Executed at El Monte, California, this     é 7LLday of December 2000.
