                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                         -------------------------------
                        ABOUT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


General

     This Proxy  Statement and the  accompanying  proxy card are being mailed to
ADR holders of Berkeley Technology Limited (the "Company" and, together with its
subsidiaries,  the "Group") on or about April 29, 2008, in  connection  with the
solicitation  of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at the Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on July 31, 2008 (the  "Meeting"),  or at any
adjournments  thereof.  The Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the
Jersey  Museum,  Ouless Room,  The  Weighbridge,  St.  Helier,  Jersey,  Channel
Islands.

Proxies

     The proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement,  which instructs The Bank
of New York as ADR Depositary (the "ADR Depositary"),  is solicited by our Board
of Directors.  ADRs represented by properly executed proxies received by the ADR
Depositary in time for the Meeting will be voted in accordance  with the choices
specified in the proxies.  Any ADR holder giving a proxy has the power to revoke
it prior to its exercise by giving notice of revocation to the ADR Depositary in
writing,  or by executing  and  delivering  to the ADR  Depositary a later dated
proxy.  However,  such  action  must be taken in  sufficient  time to permit the
necessary  examination  and  tabulation  of the  subsequent  proxy or revocation
before the vote is taken.  Proxy  instructions,  amendments or revocations  must
therefore be received by the ADR Depositary on or before July 24, 2008.

Solicitation

     The  cost  of  preparing,  assembling,  printing  and  mailing  this  Proxy
Statement,  the accompanying  proxy card and any other related materials used in
the  solicitation  of proxies will be borne by us. In addition to  soliciting by
mail, our directors,  officers and employees,  without  receiving any additional
compensation,  may solicit proxies personally, by telephone or facsimile. Except
as described  above, we do not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by
mail.

     Also enclosed  herewith is a copy of our Annual Report to Shareholders  for
the year ended December 31, 2007.

Voting and Quorum at the Annual General Meeting

     Holders of ADRs  should  complete  and return  the  enclosed  proxy card in
accordance with the terms provided  thereon not later than the close of business
on July 24, 2008.  The close of business on April 23, 2008 has been fixed as the
record date for the  determination of the holders entitled to give  instructions
of  voting  rights  at the  Meeting  and  any  adjournment  thereof.  Under  the
depositary agreement between us and the ADR Depositary, the ADR Depositary shall
not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that  attaches to the Ordinary
Shares other than in accordance with such instructions.

     Two  shareholders  present  in  person or by proxy  and  entitled  to vote,
holding in aggregate,  or represented  by proxy,  not less than one-third of the
total  Ordinary  Shares  outstanding,  shall be a quorum for all purposes.  If a
quorum is present,  directors are elected and all other matters are decided upon
by a show of hands, unless before or upon the declaration of the results, a poll
is demanded by the Chairman of the Meeting or by at least three  shareholders or
by one or more  shareholders  representing  not less than one-tenth of the total
voting rights of  shareholders.  If a poll is taken,  every  shareholder  who is
present in person by representative or proxy shall have one vote for every share
of which he or she is the holder. Cumulative voting in the election of directors
is not permitted.


                                       1


     The  Company  does not have a policy with regard to members of the Board of
Directors attending Annual General Meetings. One Board member attended the prior
year's Annual General Meeting.

     Proposals 1 to 3 which are described  below are ordinary  resolutions.  Any
other  resolutions  presented at the meeting would be special  resolutions.  The
approval of an ordinary  resolution  requires the affirmative vote of a majority
of the votes cast at the Meeting.  The approval of a special resolution requires
an  affirmative  vote of at least  two-thirds  of the votes cast at the Meeting.
Accordingly,  abstentions  and  broker  non-votes  will  have no  effect  on any
resolution voted on at the Meeting.

     As of March 31, 2008, there were 64,439,073 Ordinary Shares outstanding and
1,187,183 ADRs outstanding,  representing 11,871,830 of those Ordinary Shares or
18.4% of the Company's total outstanding shares. Each Ordinary Share carries one
vote in a poll.  Each ADR carries ten votes  indirectly  through  each  Ordinary
Share held by the ADR Depositary on the ADR holder's behalf.

     For the  purposes of this Proxy  Statement,  the term "vote" shall refer to
either  a vote  by a  holder  of  Ordinary  Shares  or  instructions  to the ADR
Depositary by a holder of ADRs.


          PROPOSAL 1 - REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     To  receive  the  report  of the  directors  and the  financial  statements
included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report to  Shareholders  for the year ended
December  31,  2007,  together  with the  report of BDO Stoy  Hayward  LLP,  the
Company's independent auditors.

     Our  Articles  of  Association  provide  that each year the above  shall be
presented  before a General  Meeting  of  Shareholders.  The Board of  Directors
recommends  a vote  for  the  acceptance  of the  report  of the  directors  and
financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 2007,  together with the
report  of  the  independent  auditors  thereon.  Shareholder  approval  is  not
required, but is being sought as a matter of good corporate practice.


                        PROPOSAL 2 - ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

     To re-elect a director, Victor A. Hebert, who is retiring by rotation.

     Our Articles of Association  provide that at each Annual  General  Meeting,
one-third  (or  the  number  nearest  to but  not  exceeding  one-third)  of the
directors  other  than  Arthur  I.  Trueger,  who,  as he is also  our  managing
director,  does not retire by rotation nor is counted in calculating  the number
of directors to retire by rotation,  shall retire from office by rotation. Under
our Articles of Association,  there shall be no less than three  directors.  The
directors  (other than Mr.  Trueger)  are elected to hold office  until they are
subject to retirement by rotation.  Victor A. Hebert, the nominated director for
2008, has informed us that he is willing to serve as a director. No person other
than a director retiring at the meeting shall,  unless  recommended by our Board
of  Directors,  be eligible for election to the office of director at any Annual
General  Meeting  unless not less than seven,  nor more than  twenty-eight  (28)
days, before the date appointed for the meeting, a notice in writing signed by a
shareholder, and a notice in writing signed by that person of his willingness to
be elected, has been left at our registered office in Jersey.

     Our Board of Directors  may appoint any person to be a director,  either to
fill a casual  vacancy or as an additional  director.  Any director so appointed
shall hold office only until the next Annual  General  Meeting and shall then be
eligible for re-appointment,  but shall not be taken into account in determining
the directors who are to retire by rotation at such meeting.

     The  following  director,  already being a member of our Board of Directors
and  eligible  for  re-election,  retires  by  rotation  and  is  nominated  for
re-election at this Annual General Meeting.

Victor A. Hebert         Mr. Hebert, age  71, has been a  non-executive director
Deputy Chairman          since  the Company's  incorporation in January 1985 and
                         Deputy Chairman since

                                       2


                         February  1996.  He  is  of  counsel  to the  law  firm
                         Heller  Ehrman LLP in San Francisco, California, having
                         joined  the firm in 1962.  Mr. Hebert is  a   member of
                         the Compensation Committee.

     Subject to  re-election,  Mr. Hebert will be required to retire by rotation
again at the  Annual  General  Meeting  in  2011,  provided  that no  additional
directors are appointed, or existing directors resign, before that time.

     The Board of Directors  recommends a vote FOR the  re-election of Victor A.
Hebert as a director.


                PROPOSAL 3 - APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     To re-appoint  BDO Stoy Hayward LLP as the Company's  independent  auditors
for purposes of the Company's  primary  listing on the London Stock Exchange and
BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company's independent  registered public accounting firm
for  purposes  of the  Company's  listing  in the  U.S.,  and to  authorize  the
directors to fix their remuneration.

     We do not  expect  that  representatives  of BDO  Stoy  Hayward  LLP or BDO
Seidman, LLP will be present at the Annual General Meeting. BDO Stoy Hayward LLP
and BDO Seidman, LLP have been our auditors since July 2002.

     The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to re-appoint BDO
Stoy Hayward LLP as our independent  auditors for purposes of our listing on the
London Stock Exchange and BDO Seidman, LLP as our independent  registered public
accounting  firm for purposes of our listing in the U.S.,  and to authorize  the
directors to fix their remuneration.  Shareholder  approval of our auditors is a
legal  requirement,  and if  shareholders  were to  reject  this  proposal,  the
directors would have to appoint another independent auditor.


                        BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

     Biographical  information  about  each  director  continuing  in  office is

Members:  Harold E. Hughes, Jr., The Viscount Trenchard

     The Business  Development  Committee was  established on March 31, 2001 for
the  purpose of  dealing  generally  with all  aspects  of new  business  areas,
including expanding existing business internationally. Formal committee meetings
are not generally  held,  as individual  committee  members  undertake  specific
responsibilities  for  areas  of new  business  development.  During  2007,  the
Business Development Committee did not hold any meetings.

Nomination Committee

     Due to the small size of the Board, it is considered  unnecessary for there
to be a specific Nomination  Committee and the whole Board acts in this capacity
as and when required. The Board of Directors is comprised of four members (three
of whom are non-executive directors).

     The Board of Directors meets  quarterly and any  nominations  arising would
normally be considered at those quarterly meetings.  There is no written charter
for the Board in relation to nominations and one is not considered necessary due
to the infrequency of new Board appointments. If and when Board vacancies arise,
the Board  would  consider  applicants  from a wide range of  sources  including
recommendations  from any existing director or officer. The Company may also use
a third-party  search firm depending upon the  circumstances  at the time of the
vacancy.  While there are no minimum  qualifications  as such for nominees,  the
Board would look for  candidates  with  appropriate  experience  and  background
relative to the  requirements of the Company at the time of the nomination.  The
Board does not accept unsolicited  shareholder  recommendations due to the small
size of the Board,  which is  considered  appropriate  for the Company,  and the
infrequency of new Board appointments.

     No nominations for director were received for consideration  during 2007 or
2008 to date.


                             DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

Annual Compensation

     Each  director  receives  a base  annual  fee of  $3,750,  except  for  the
Executive  Chairman who,  effective June 30, 2001, no longer  receives this fee.
The Deputy Chairman receives an additional  annual fee of $5,000.  Each director
on the Audit Committee and Compensation  Committee receives an additional annual
fee of $3,750, and each director on the Business Development  Committee receives
an additional annual fee of $5,000. Lord Trenchard receives an additional annual
fee of $10,000 for administrative duties performed for the Company in Jersey.

Share Option Plan

     Under The  London  Pacific  Group  1990  Employee  Share  Option  Trust,  a
non-executive  director may be granted options to purchase our Ordinary  Shares,
generally at an option  exercise price equal to the market value of the Ordinary
Shares as of the date of the grant.  Options  expire seven or ten years from the
date of grant. On March 27, 2007, each non-executive director was granted 50,000
options with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Ordinary  Shares
on the grant date ($0.10) and vesting over four years.

     The Executive Chairman makes  recommendations to the Trustees of The London
Pacific Group 1990 Employee Share Option Trust in relation to such grants to the
non-executive directors.

                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation Components

Base Salary and Annual Incentive Compensation

     For 2007, our executive  officers received an annual salary, but no bonuses
related to the prior year were paid,  and no bonuses  will be paid  relating  to
2007,  due to the Company's  small  operating  profit for 2007 and net operating
loss for 2006. In addition,  the Company is continuing to conserve cash in light
of its efforts to redevelop its venture capital and consulting business.

     Mr. Trueger and Mr.  Whitehead  currently  receive salaries of $300,000 and
(pound)150,000 (approximately $298,500 at an exchange rate of (pound)1 = $1.99),
respectively.  Since  2002,  Mr.  Whitehead  has agreed to waive  (pound)350,000
(approximately $696,500) out of his base salary of (pound)500,000 (approximately
$995,000) until he gives further notice.

Long-term Incentive Plan

     Share  options may be granted to the  Executive  Chairman  under The London
Pacific Group 1990 Employee Share Option Trust.  The  Compensation  Committee of
the Board of Directors  considers the  responsibilities  and  performance of the
Executive  Chairman and the performance of the Group when determining the number
of options to be  recommended  to the Trustees of The London  Pacific Group 1990
Employee Share Option Trust. The Trust may grant share options to other officers
and  employees,  following  recommendations  from the Executive  Chairman to the
Compensation  Committee,  which,  if concurring,  makes  recommendations  to the
trustees of the Trust.  The  objectives of this plan include  retaining the best
personnel and providing for additional performance incentives.

     Generally,  option  grants  are  exercisable  in  four  equal  installments
beginning  one  year  from  the  date  of  the  grant,   subject  to  employment
continuation, and expire seven or ten years from the date of the grant.

     On March 27, 2007, the Chief Financial  Officer was granted 1,000,000 share
options with an exercise price equal to the market value of our Ordinary  Shares
on the grant date ($0.10) and vesting over four years.

                                       8


     There were no option  exercises  during 2007 under The London Pacific Group
1990 Employee Share Option Trust by the named executive  officers.  The value of
the share options held by them as of December 31, 2007 was nil as all vested and
unvested share options were not in-the-money at that date.

Pension Plan

     The Group has a defined  contribution plan for the Chief Financial Officer.
This plan was  established  in 2000,  with $54,000  contributed  during the year
ended December 31, 2007.

Deferred Compensation Plan

     The  Company  currently  does not offer a  deferred  compensation  plan for
executive officers or employees.

Perquisites and Other Executive Benefits

     The Company  currently does not offer any  perquisites  or other  executive
benefits to its executive officers.

Employment Contracts

     Mr. Whitehead joined us in September 1990 as Chief Financial  Officer.  The
Company  extended an  employment  letter to Mr.  Whitehead.  His  employment  is
terminable  either by the Company on twelve (12) months written notice or by Mr.
Whitehead on six (6) months written notice.

     The  Executive  Chairman  does  not have a  contract  of  service  with the
Company.

            POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR change in CONTROL

     The Company entered into an employment  letter agreement with Mr. Whitehead
in 1990.  The agreement  does not provide for a fixed term.  If Mr.  Whitehead's
employment  is  terminated  by the  Company  other  than for  cause,  he will be
entitled to receive one year's  written notice and to be paid at his full annual
salary of (pound)500,000 (approximately $995,000 at an exchange rate of (pound)1
=  $1.99).  In  addition,   the  Company  will  be  obligated  to  make  monthly
contributions to the defined  contribution pension plan set up for Mr. Whitehead
for  the  one  year  notice  period  in  the  annual  amount  of   (pound)36,000
(approximately  $72,000). If Mr. Whitehead's employment is terminated because of
disability,  he will be entitled  to receive a payment  equal to his full annual
salary of (pound)500,000  (approximately $995,000) in lieu of one year's notice.
The Company cannot terminate Mr. Whitehead's  employment due to disability for a
period of six months,  during  which time the Company  must  continue to pay Mr.
Whitehead  his  monthly  salary,  currently  (pound)150,000  on an annual  basis
(approximately  $298,500) after his (pound)350,000 salary waiver as discussed on
page 8.

     Mr. Trueger does not have a contract of service with the Company.

     Under a December  31, 2007  termination  scenario,  all vested and unvested
share options held by Mr.  Trueger and Mr.  Whitehead were  out-of-the-money  on
that date,  and thus no share  options  would have been  exercised  and no value
would have been received by them.

             REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     Management  is  responsible  for  the  financial  reporting  process,   the
preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  U.S.
generally accepted accounting  principles,  the system of internal controls, and
procedures   designed  to  insure  compliance  with  accounting   standards  and
applicable laws and regulations.  The Company's independent  auditors,  BDO Stoy
Hayward LLP in the U.K., are responsible  for auditing the financial  statements
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland), and the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP in the
U.S., are responsible  for auditing the financial  statements in accordance with
the standards  established by the PCAOB (United States).  The Audit  Committee's
responsibility  is to monitor and review these  processes  and  procedures.  The
members  of the  Audit  Committee  are  neither  professionally  engaged  in the
practice  of  accounting  or  auditing.  The  Audit  Committee  relies,  without
independent  verification,  on  the  information  provided  to  them  and on the
representations  made by  management  that the  financial  statements  have been
prepared  with  integrity  and  objectivity,   and  on  the  representations  of
management  and the opinions of BDO Stoy  Hayward LLP and BDO Seidman,  LLP that
such financial  statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S.  generally
accepted accounting principles.

     The Audit Committee  reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial
statements  for the year ended  December 31, 2007 with the Company's  management
and with the  Company's  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  BDO
Seidman,  LLP. The Audit Committee  discussed with BDO Seidman,  LLP the matters
required  to  be  discussed  by  Statement  of  Auditing   Standards   No.  114,
"Communication  with Audit Committees." The Audit Committee received the written
disclosures  and  letters  from BDO Stoy  Hayward LLP  required by Auditing  and
Ethical  Standards issued by the Auditing  Practices Board and from BDO Seidman,
LLP required by  Independence  Standards  Board  Standard  No. 1,  "Independence
Discussions with Audit Committees." The Audit Committee  discussed with BDO Stoy
Hayward  LLP  and  BDO  Seidman,  LLP  its  independence.  The  Audit  Committee
considered   and  believes  that  the   performance   of  services   related  to
"Audit-Related   Fees"  and  "Tax  Fees"  is  compatible  with  maintaining  the
independence of BDO Stoy Hayward LLP and BDO Seidman, LLP.

     For the years ended  December  31, 2007 and 2006,  BDO Stoy Hayward LLP and
BDO Seidman, LLP billed or will bill the Company for the following fees:

                                              2007                      2006
         Audit Fees                       $138,441                  $181,234
         Audit-Related Fees (1)            $13,970                    $8,904
         Tax Fees (2)                       $3,025                    $7,965
         All Other Fees                         $0                        $0


(1) Related to the audits of our insurance  regulatory  reports.
(2) Related to tax compliance services.


     Based on the Audit  Committee's  review and  discussions  above,  the Audit
Committee  recommended  to the Board of  Directors  that the  Company's  audited
financial  statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
and in its 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.

     The  Audit  Committee  pre-approved  all fees  for  audit  and  permissible
non-audit services performed by BDO Stoy Hayward LLP and BDO Seidman, LLP.

     The Audit  Committee has considered and concluded that the provision of the
non-audit  services  in the  table  above is  compatible  with  maintaining  the
independence of BDO Stoy Hayward LLP and BDO Seidman, LLP.

                                 AUDIT COMMITTEE
                        Harold E. Hughes, Jr. (Chairman)

            OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Related Person Transactions

     We paid legal fees of  approximately  $5,000  during  2007 to a law firm of
which one of our directors, Victor A. Hebert, is a member.

     The  Board  of  Directors  reviews  all  related  person  transactions,  or
potential   related  person   transactions,   for   ratification,   revision  or
termination.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section  16(a)  of  the  Securities   Exchange  Act  of  1934  and  related
regulations require our directors,  executive officers,  and anyone holding more
than 10% of the Company's  Ordinary Shares to report their initial  ownership of
the  Company's  Ordinary  Shares  and  any  changes  in  that  ownership  to the
Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC"). We are required to disclose in this
Proxy  Statement the failure of any reporting  person to file these reports when
due.  To our  knowledge,  based  solely on our review of copies of such  reports
received  by us, we believe  that  during  2007,  all  reporting  persons of the
Company satisfied these filing requirements.


                                 CODE OF ETHICS

     On November 12, 2003, the Board of Directors  adopted a Code of Ethics (the
"Code")  applicable to the Company's  Chief Executive  Officer,  Chief Financial
Officer,  Controller,  all other  officers of the  Company,  or any other person
serving in an equivalent position.  This Code embodies our commitment to conduct
business in accordance with the highest ethical  standards and applicable  laws,
rules and  regulations.  Our Code was amended and restated in December  2007 and
this  amended and  restated  Code was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008.


                                  OTHER MATTERS

     We know of no other matters to be presented at the Annual  General  Meeting
other than those  described  in this  Proxy  Statement.  In the event that other
business  properly  comes before the Meeting,  the persons named as proxies will
have discretionary  authority to vote the shares underlying the ADRs represented
by the accompanying proxy in accordance with their own judgment.

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
                      Adopted by the Board of Directors of
                           Berkeley Technology Limited
                    Amended and Restated on February 18, 2005


Composition:

     The  Audit  Committee  shall  be  composed  of two or  more  directors,  as
determined by the Board of Directors,  each of whom shall meet the  independence
and financial literacy requirements of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC),
and at least one of whom shall  have past  employment  experience  in finance or
accounting,  requisite  professional  certification  in  accounting or any other
comparable experience or background which results in the individual's  financial
sophistication,  including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief
financial   officer  or  other   senior   officer   with   financial   oversight
responsibilities  and such other  attributes  necessary  to  satisfy  the "audit
committee  financial expert"  requirements  established by the SEC's final rules
("Final Rules")  implementing  Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as
amended (the "Act").

     In determining if each member of the Audit Committee  satisfies the minimum
standards  for being  considered  "independent"  under the Final Rules,  no such
member (or the member's  family,  law firm,  accounting  firm,  consulting firm,
investment banking firm or financial advisory firm) shall (x) accept or receive,
directly or indirectly, any consulting,  advisory or other compensatory fee from
the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries,  other  than  fees for board or board
committee  service,  or (y) be an affiliated person of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, other than in the capacity of a Director of the Company.

     Unless a chairperson  is designated by the Board of Directors,  the members
of the Audit Committee may appoint their own chairperson by majority vote.

Responsibilities:

1.     Select,  nominate,  appoint,  retain (or  terminate)  and  compensate the
       Company's  independent  auditors;   directly  evaluate  and  oversee  the
       performance  of the  independent  auditors  and, if so  determined by the
       Audit Committee,  replace the independent auditors, it being acknowledged
       that  the  independent   auditors  are  ultimately   accountable  to  the
       shareholders  of the Company.  In  addition,  the Audit  Committee  shall
       review the range and cost of audit and  non-audit  services  performed by
       the  independent  auditors;  approve in  advance  the  engagement  of the
       independent   accounting  firm  for  all  audit  services  and  non-audit
       services,  based on  independence,  qualifications  and,  if  applicable,
       performance, and approve the fees and other terms of any such engagement.
       The Audit  Committee  shall meet as often as is  necessary,  holding such
       regular or special meetings as may be called by the Chairman of the Audit
       Committee,  or at the  request  of the  independent  auditors.  The Audit
       Committee shall ensure that the  independent  auditors report directly to
       the Audit Committee, not management.

2.     Ensure the receipt of, and  evaluate,  the  written  disclosures  and the
       letter  that the  independent  auditors  submit  to the  Audit  Committee
       regarding the  auditors'  independence  in  accordance  with the Act, the
       Final Rules,  and  Independence  Standards  Board Standard No. 1, discuss
       such  reports  with the  auditors  and,  if so  determined  by the  Audit
       Committee in response to such reports, take appropriate action to address
       issues  raised by such  evaluation,  and ensure the  rotation of the lead
       audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit, as required by
       law.

3.     Discuss  with  the  independent  auditors  the  matters  required  to  be
       discussed  by  Statement  of  Auditing  Standards  No.  61,  as it may be
       amended,  modified or  supplemented,  and in  particular,  describing all
       relationships  between the  independent  auditors  and the  Company,  and
       discuss with the independent  auditors any relationships or services that
       may impact their objectivity or independence; and confer with

                                       14



       the  independent  auditors  and  management  concerning  the scope of the
       independent auditors' examination of the books and records of the Company
       and its subsidiaries; direct the attention of the independent auditors to
       specific  matters or areas deemed by the Audit Committee to be of special
       significance;   and  authorize  the   independent   auditors  to  perform
       supplemental reviews or audits as the Audit Committee may deem necessary,
       appropriate or desirable.

4.     Instruct management and the independent auditors that the Audit Committee
       expects to be informed if there are any  subjects  that  require  special
       attention or if they perceive any significant weaknesses in the Company's
       information  and  reporting  systems,   as  well  as  significant  risks,
       exposures,  complex or unusual  transactions,  audit activities and audit
       findings;   review  with  the   independent   auditors  any   significant
       difficulties encountered during the course of the audit, any restrictions
       on the scope of work or access to requested or required  information  and
       any  significant   disagreement  among  management  and  the  independent
       auditors in connection with the preparation of financial statements.

5.     Meet with management and the  independent  auditors to discuss the annual
       financial  statements  and the  report  and  opinion  of the  independent
       auditors thereon,  and to discuss  significant  issues encountered in the
       course of the audit work,  including  significant  changes in  accounting
       principles  or the  application  therein,  restrictions  on the  scope of
       activities,  access to  required  information  and  adequacy  of internal
       financial  controls;  discuss with management all Section 302 and Section
       906 certifications required by the Act, and review management's report on
       internal   controls  and  the   independent   auditor's   attestation  on
       management's assertions as required by Section 404 of the Act.

6.     Review the management  letter  delivered by the  independent  auditors in
       connection with the audit,  earnings press releases,  including pro forma
       or adjusted  non-GAAP  information,  and other  financial  information or
       earnings guidance given to analysts and rating agencies.

7.     Meet quarterly with  management  and the  independent  auditors to review
       interim  financial  statements,  and to discuss the  quarterly  financial
       statements  prior to the  filing  of the Form  10-Q;  provided  that this
       responsibility may be delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

8.     Meet  at  least  once  each  year in  separate  executive  sessions  with
       management and the  independent  auditors to discuss  matters that any of
       them or the Audit  Committee  believes  could  significantly  affect  the
       financial   statements  and  should  be  discussed   privately;   discuss
       alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted
       accounting  principles that the independent  auditors have discussed with
       management,  the ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures
       and treatments and the treatment  preferred by the independent  auditors,
       as well as  regulatory  and  accounting  initiatives,  off-balance  sheet
       structure on the financial  statements of the Company.  In addition,  the
       Audit Committee shall perform an annual self-evaluation.

9.     Have such meetings with  management and the  independent  auditors as the
       Audit  Committee  deems  necessary,  appropriate  or desirable to discuss
       significant  financial risk exposures facing the Company and management's
       plans for monitoring and controlling  such exposures;  and to obtain from
       the  independent  auditors  their   recommendations   regarding  internal
       controls and other matters relating to the accounting  procedures and the
       books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries; review and discuss
       with  management  the  adequacy of the  Company's  internal  controls and
       procedures for financial reporting.

10.    Review  significant  changes to the Company's  accounting  principles and
       practices proposed by the independent auditors or management.

11.    Conduct  or  authorize  such  inquiries  into  matters  within  the Audit
       Committee's   scope  of  responsibility  as  the  Audit  Committee  deems
       appropriate and as otherwise required by the Act and the Final Rules. The
       Audit Committee shall review all related party transactions on an ongoing
       basis and approve  any related  party  transaction.  The Audit  Committee
       shall be empowered to retain  independent  counsel and other professional
       advisors,  including  counsel,  as it deems  necessary  to carry  out its
       duties and to


                                       15


       assist in the conduct of any such  inquiries.  The Audit  Committee shall
       also  establish  procedures  for the receipt,  retention and treatment of
       complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing
       matters, including procedures for the confidential,  anonymous submission
       by employees of concerns  regarding  questionable  accounting or auditing
       matters.

12.    Provide  minutes of Audit  Committee  meetings to the Board of Directors,
       and report to the Board of Directors on any  significant  matters arising
       from the Audit Committee's work.

13.    At  least  annually,   review  and  reassess  this  charter,   the  Audit
       Committee's  budget,  staffing  and  independence,  and, if  appropriate,
