State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D-562-33 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 and 38391 of the Vehicle Code Valina, Inc. (d.b.a. CarTex) "Series 12300 & 12100 Three-way Catalytic Converters" WHEREAS, Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395, and Title 13, California Code of Regulations (hereafter "CCR") Section 2222(h), authorize the California Air Resources Board and its Executive Officer to exempt new aftermarket catalytic converters from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156 and 38391. WHEREAS, Valina, Inc. (Valina) of 4560 Worth Street, Los Angeles, California 90069, has applied to the Air Resources Board for exemption from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 to market its new aftermarket'series 12300 & 12100 three-way catalytic converters (TWC) on selected 1997 through 2004 Ford medium-duty vehicles (MDV) equipped with on-board diagnostic II (OBD-II) systems as specified in Appendix D-562-33 and incorporated herein. Series 12300 & 12100 TWCs will be used for dual exhaust systems with multiple catalytic converters for the selected Ford trucks as shown in Appendix D-562-33. The catalytic converters are to be sold for universal application only. The catalytic converters were previously exempted for this appli'cation as Series 12301 & 12311. WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority vested in the Executive Officer by Health and Safety Code Section 39515 and in the Chief, Mobile Source Operations Division by Health and Safety Code Section 39516 and Executive Order G-02-003, the Air Resources Board finds that the above aftermarket catalytic converters comply with the California Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Emission performance of the catalytic converters was based on durability bench-aging by Umicore Automotive Catalysts USA using the Air Resources Board-modified RAT-A bench-aging cycle for 100 hours, as specified in Appendix A to the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters" as adopted on October 25, 2007. WHEREAS, previous emissions and OBD II compatibility tests conducted by Valina, Inc. using a 2000 4.6L Ford F-150 equipped with dual exhaust system, and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards and medium-duty vehicle 2 (MDV2) weight classification showed that the vehicle met applicable emissjon standards for LEVlMDV2 with Series 12300 & 12100 (2 units) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 12300 & 12100 TWC did not affect the vehicle's ability to perform OBD l l system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below: NMOG CO NOx 120K Standards 0.230 6.4 0.6 Series 12300 & 12100 Test 1 0.220 1.5 0.4 Series 12300 & 12100 Test 2 0.219 1.6 0.4

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that Valina, lnc.'s 12300 & 12100 TWC are exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for installation on the approved vehicle applications specified in Appendix D-562-33 subject to the following conditions: 1.

Any oral or written references to this Executive Order or its content by Valina, 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 emission reduction claims for the catalytic converters and is only a finding that the catalytic converters are exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Sections 27 156 and 38391. 4.

Valina, Inc. and its vendors may not advertise the new aftermarket catalytic converters as "high flow or easy flow" catalytic converter or use any phrase that could make them appear to perform better than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) catalytic converters. 8. Any marketing arrangement of the new aftermarket catalytic converters by a third party, which involves the use of packaging identification different from the ones described in this Executive Order, must be approved by the Air Resources Board prior to shipment. 9.
