State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXECUTIVE ORDER D—662—3 Relating to Exemptions Under Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code Hirsch Performance AG Software Performance Upgrade Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section 27156 of the Vehicie Code; and Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Section 39515 and Section 39516 of ‘the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—02—003; IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Software Performance Upgrade manufactured and marketed by Hirsch Performance Products of Zurcher Strasse 202, 9014 St. Gallen, Switzerland, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of required motor vehicle pollution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for the specific Saab 9—3, 9—5, and 9—4X vehicle models listed in Exhibit A. The Software Performance Upgrade is a modified software calibration that is designed to provide increases in maximum horsepower and torque for the Saab vehicle models listed in Exhibit A. The software calibration is uploaded from the Internet to the vehicle‘s engine control unit via the on—board diagnostic connector and Hirsch Performance AG‘s IPRO programming tool. The calibration modifies parameters for the vehicles‘ air flow, fuel flow, and ignition timing. This modification can only be performed by Saab dealerships. Consumers themselves are not able to directly purchase either the calibration or the IPRO programming tool. This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Software Performance Upgrade will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those of Hirsch Performance AG. Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the devices, as exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order. Marketing of these devices using any 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 Air Resources Board.

_2 This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the use of these devices may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. This exemption is issued based on previously submitted emissions test data from an independent laboratory on a 2008 model year Saab 9—3 Sportcombi (Test Group 8GMXVO2.3001) certified to the Low Emission Vehicle II Low Emission Vehicle (LEV II LEV) and Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP) standards: Federal Test Procedure: NMOG CO NOX Standards (g/mi) | 0.075 3.4 0.05 Device (g/mi) with df‘s applied 0.071 0.7 0.02 SFTP (USO6 Cycle): NMHC+NOX CO Standards (g/mi) 0.14 8.0 Device (g/mi) 0.08 2.9 SFTP (SC03 Alternative AC2 Cycle): NMHC+NOX CO Standards (g/mi) 0.20 2.7 Device (g/mi) 0.01 0.3 Test results showed that the Software Performance Upgrade when installed on the vehicle did not cause exhaust emissions to exceed the applicable emission standards during the Cold Start Federal Test Procedure. This Executive Order is also based on On—Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) testing conducted on a fully OBD II—compliant 2010 Saab 9—3 vehicle (Test Group AGMXVO2.0004). The Software Performance Upgrade when installed on this test vehicle did not affect the vehicle‘s ability to perform its OBD II monitoring. The Air Resources Board reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2222, et seq. 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 THE SOFTWARE PERFORMANCE UPGRADE. No claims 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.
