State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D-562-34 Relating to Exemptions under Section 27156 and 38391 of the Vehicle Code Valina, Inc. (d.b.a. CarTex) "Series 12600 Three-way Catalytic Converter" 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 12600 three-way catalytic converter (TWC) for installation on selected 1996 through 2004 Ford medium-duty vehicles (MDV) equipped with on-board diagnostic II (OBD-ll) systems as specified in Appendix D-562-34 and incorporated herein. Series 12600 TWC will be used for a single catalytic converter application for the selected Ford trucks. The catalytic converter is to be sold for universal application only. 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 converter complies with the California Vehicle Code Sections 271 56 and 38395 and Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222(h). Emission performance of the catalytic converter 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 5.9L Dodge Durango equipped with single exhaust system, and certified to Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standards and medium-duty vehicle 2 (MDV2) weight classification showed that the vehicle met applicable emission standards for LEVIMDV2 with Series 12600 (1 unit) installed. OBD II compatibility tests performed on the same test vehicle showed that Series 12600 TWC did not affect the vehicle's ability to perform OBD II system monitoring. Emission test results in grams per mile are shown below: NMOG CO NOx 120K Standards 0.230 6.4 0.6 Series 12600 Test 1 0.184 3. I 0.6 Series 12600 Test 2 0.175 3.1 0.6

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that Valina, lnc.'s 12600 TWC is exempted from the prohibitions in Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391 for installation on the approved vehicle applications specified in Appendix D-562-34 subject to the following conditions: 1. No changes are permitted to the catalytic converter as described in the application for exemption. Any changes to the catalytic converter or any of their components, and other factors addressed in this order must be evaluated and approved by the Air Resources Board prior to marketing in California. 2. Marketing of the catalytic converter using identifications other than those shown in the exemption application, and in this Executive Order, or marketing of the catalytic converter for application other than the ones shown in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. Exemption of this product shall not be construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any components of the catalytic converter as individual devices. 3. 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 converter and is only a finding that the catalytic converter is exempt from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Sections 27156 and 38391. 4. Valina, lnc.'s installation instructions for the new catalytic converter must conform to requirements in Section (h) of the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters," as adopted October 25, 2007. 5.

Oxygen sensors must be installed in the same location, position and orientation as prescribed in the original equipment manufacturer's configurations. 6. Upon installation, the catalytic converter must carry a manufacturer's warranty for five (5) years or 50,000 miles as prescribed in Section (f)(2) of the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters," as adopted October 25, 2007. 7. Valina, Inc. and its vendors may not advertise the new aftermarket catalytic converter as "high Row 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 converter 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. Valina, its associates, vendors, other businesses, and individuals associated with Valina, may not sell or supply new aftermarket catalytic converter substrates to a VALINA, INC. - CATALYTIC CONVERTER - D-562-34

third party to be assembled in a different facility and marketed under this Executive Order without approval from the Air Resources Board. 10.Valina, lnc. shall comply with the quality control procedures and reporting requirements in Section (f)(5) of the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters," as adopted October 25, 2007. 11.Quality control reports must be submitted on a quarterly basis and warranty information reports on a semi-annual basis, starting with periods covering January 1 through March 31,2009 and January 1 through June 30,2009, respectively. 12.Valina, lnc. must provide a permanent label or stamp as specified under Section (f)(l ) of the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters," as adopted on October 25,2007. 13.Valina, I n c h vehicle application catalog must conform with the requirements as specified under Section (f)(4) of the "California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters," as adopted on October 25, 2007.
