The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present at the meeting in person or by proxy is also required to approve all other proposals brought before the meeting.

PROPOSAL #2 - APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Subject to approval by the stockholders, the Board has selected the firm of Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P. as the Company's independent auditors for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2004.

AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2004. 4 PROPOSAL #3 - AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK The Company's stockholders are being asked to authorize the Board of Directors, in its discretion, to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect a "reverse split" of its issued and outstanding Common Stock (the "Reverse Split") at any time prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders. By approving this proposal, the Board of Directors will be empowered to reverse split the Company's Common Stock by choosing one of three ratios (the "split ratio"), namely three shares for one share, five shares for one share or ten shares for one share. If the Board of Directors decides to approve the Reverse Split, the determination of the ratio to be used will be made on the date of approval. Walter G. Mize, the owner of a majority of the Company's Common Stock and the Company's President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, has indicated that he intends to vote for this proposal. While Mr. Mize's vote assures passage of this proposal, your vote will provide you with the opportunity to express your views regarding the Reverse Split. REASONS FOR THE REVERSE SPLIT In January 2004 the Company received a staff determination from Nasdaq stating that it failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. According to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c), an issuer must have a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued inclusion in Nasdaq. Throughout January 2004 and during early February 2004, the Company's Common Stock traded at less than $1.00 per share. Decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding will result in a proportionate adjustment to the price of the Common Stock, thereby increasing it. For example, if the Common Stock were trading at a price of $0.75 on the day before the Reverse Split was effective, and the Board of Directors approved a split ratio of three shares for one share, then the price of the Common Stock following the Reverse Split would be $2.25. The Board of Directors has determined that the continued listing of the Company's Common Stock on Nasdaq is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Management believes that the Reverse Split will result in an increase to the price of the Company's Common Stock, thereby preventing Nasdaq from delisting it. The Company believes that it meets all of the other requirements of Rule 4310(c). Secondarily, the Company has a number of stockholders holding less than 10 shares of Common Stock. Management believes that these stockholders may be deterred from selling their shares because of disproportionately high brokerage costs. The Reverse Split will give stockholders of record who own fewer than three, five or ten shares (depending on the split ratio) the opportunity to receive cash for their shares without having to pay brokerage commissions. Finally, management believes that the current market price of the Company's Common Stock does not reflect the Company's value and has a negative effect on the marketability of the existing shares and the potential ability of the Company to raise capital or acquire businesses by issuing additional shares of its Common Stock. The Company believes that the decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding may make it more attractive to possible merger or acquisition candidates and may enhance its ability to raise capital through the financial markets. Currently, the Company is not engaged in negotiations with a possible merger or acquisition candidate. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE SPLIT RATIO The primary criteria for determining the split ratio will be keeping the Company's listing with Nasdaq. If management is required to implement the Reverse Split to keep the listing, the split ratio chosen will be that which will best obtain this objective, as determined by the Board of Directors. However, even though keeping the Company's listing with Nasdaq is, at this time, the primary criteria for implementing the Reverse Split, the Board of Directors reserves the right to implement the Reverse Split irrespective of the Common Stock price if other factors, such as financing requirements, make it advisable to do so. 5 While management anticipates that the Reverse Split will increase its price per share to allow it to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Stock immediately after the Reverse Split will be maintained for any period of time, or that the market price of the Common Stock after the proposed Reverse Split will exceed the current market price. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND MECHANISM FOR SHARE EXCHANGE If the Reverse Split is approved by the stockholders and effected by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will fix a record date for determination of shares subject to the Reverse Split. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors has not fixed a record date for the Reverse Split. If approved by the stockholders, the Reverse Split would become effective with the filing of an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Articles of Incorporation with the Utah Secretary of State on any date selected by the Board of Directors on or prior to the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders. However, the Board of Directors reserves the right, even after shareholder approval, to forego or postpone filing the Amendment if such action is determined not to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If the Reverse Split is not implemented by the Board of Directors and effected by the next annual meeting of stockholders, the authority to file the Amendment will lapse. In such case, the Board of Directors will again seek stockholder approval at a future date for a reverse stock split if it deems it to be advisable at that time. If the Reverse Split is approved and the Board of Directors elects to effect the Reverse Split, then each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date chosen for the Reverse Split will immediately and automatically be changed, as of the effective date of the Amendment, into a number which reflects the split ratio chosen by the Board of Directors. For example, if the Board of Directors approves a Reverse Split of ten shares for one share, than each share of outstanding Common Stock will automatically be changed, as of the effective date of the Amendment, into one-tenth of a share of Common Stock. In addition, proportional adjustments will be made to the maximum number of shares issuable under the Company's equity plans, as well as the number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price of the Company's outstanding options. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Holders of Common Stock who would receive a fractional share of Common Stock due to the Reverse Split will receive cash in lieu of the fractional share. The cash payment will be equal to the product of the fractional share times the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company's Common Stock over the five trading days immediately prior to the effective date of the Amendment. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting or other rights with respect to the fractional interest, except the right to receive the cash payment. Management does not anticipate that the Company's financial condition, the percentage ownership of management, the number of our stockholders, or any aspect of the Company's business will materially change as a result of the Reverse Split. Because the Reverse Split will apply to all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and outstanding rights to purchase Common Stock or to convert other securities into Common Stock, the proposed Reverse Split will not alter the relative rights and preferences of existing stockholders. Provided that the Reverse Split is approved by the stockholders and the Board of Directors fixes a record date and effects the Reverse Split, then it will notify each holder of record with instructions for the surrender and exchange of certificates. Based on the foregoing discussion, the Board of Directors requests that stockholders approve the following resolutions in connection with the proposed Reverse Split: RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company hereby authorize the Board of Directors, at any time prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders, to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to affect a combination of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock using the ratio x:1, with x equaling three, five or ten, which number shall be chosen by the Board of Directors in its discretion (the "Reverse Split"); and it is further 6 RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and empowered (any one of them acting alone), in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to procure any authorizations or approvals or to do or cause to be done all such acts or things and to sign and deliver or cause to be signed and delivered, all such documents, including but not limited to, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, stock certificates, federal and state securities forms, filings, applications or other documents, with such amendments, additions and other modifications thereto, as such officer may deem appropriate, which shall be deemed conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof, and to carry out and fully perform the terms and provisions of such documents in order to carry into effect the foregoing resolutions and to fully effect the transactions contemplated in such resolutions. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE REVERSE SPLIT. PROPOSAL #4 - APPROVAL, AS REQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS MARKETPLACE RULES, FOR SALES OF COMMON STOCK The following proposal is not dependent upon the approval of, and does not assume passage of, the Reverse Split discussed in proposal number 3. Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Marketplace Rules requires that a corporation obtain stockholder approval for certain transactions, including the following: the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable [into] common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock. In accordance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules the Company is seeking stockholder approval to sell, in a transaction that does not qualify as a public offering of the Company's securities for the purpose of Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii), a total of 7,950,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. As of the record date, the Company had issued and outstanding 11,363,189 shares of Common Stock. 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares would equal 2,272,637. The Utah Revised Business Corporation Act does not require the Company to obtain stockholder approval to issue the Common Stock. The Company has come to an agreement with eight individuals who are accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, for the purchase and sale of promissory notes convertible into Common Stock. The Board of Directors approved the transaction in January 2004. The Company will raise a maximum of $1,325,000 by issuing the promissory notes. If the promissory notes are paid with Common Stock, the Company will be required to issue approximately 2,650,000 shares of Common Stock, which, on the date that the transaction was approved, represented a value of $0.50 per share, or a 25% discount to the market price. In conjunction with the sale of the promissory notes, purchasers will receive two warrants for the purchase of our Common Stock. Each warrant will represent the number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of the promissory note can receive upon conversion of the promissory note. The exercise price of the warrants will be $0.75 per share and $1.00 per share, respectively. If all the warrants were exercised, a total of 5,300,000 additional shares of Common Stock will be issued. REASON FOR THE PROPOSAL. The Company needs capital to develop its oil and gas properties as well as for other general corporate purposes. Selling the Company's securities is a method of obtaining these funds. In order to raise sufficient capital for these purposes, however, the Company will be required to sell an amount of shares in excess of 20% of its outstanding Common Stock. 7 The funds raised will be used primarily to purchase or lease equipment, undertake engineering and geology studies and provide money for any other costs (including administrative and overhead costs) relating to enhancing the oil and gas production of 56 existing wells. Six of the wells will be converted to injection wells, which will allow the Company to inject nitrogen into the reservoir to increase reservoir pressure. Thirteen wells will be drilled and completed. Management anticipates that approximately one-half of the funds raised will be used for this purpose. The balance of the funds raised will be used for general corporate purposes, including the payment of selected accounts payable and the partial payment of a promissory note issued by Almac Financial Corporation, which is a company owned and controlled by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Walter Mize. OVERALL EFFECT OF THE PROPOSAL. If the following resolutions are approved by the stockholders, the Company will be in compliance with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and could complete the sale of 7,950,000 shares of its Common Stock in this private offering. The issuance of the Company's Common Stock in this transaction is not intended to have an anti-takeover effect and is not part of a plan by management to institute anti-takeover measures, the Company's corporate charter and bylaws contain no provisions having an anti-takeover effect, and management does not intend to propose anti-takeover measures. Management does not have knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate its securities or to obtain control of it by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSAL. If the Company is able to complete this transaction, it will be able to enhance the production of its oil and gas wells, pay its accounts receivable and have additional funds for other operating expenses. However, issuing a large number of additional shares of Common Stock will dilute the percentage of Common Stock owned by all existing stockholders and increase the number of voting shares necessary to meet the voting requirements imposed by state law with respect to a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other business combination involving the Company. This would increase the costs associated with launching or obtaining approval of any such transaction by a third party. VOTE BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the sale of the promissory notes on the terms set forth herein on January 22, 2004. LIMITATIONS ON ADOPTION OF PROPOSAL. Under Nasdaq's rules the Company is not permitted to create a new class of security that votes at a higher rate than an existing class of securities or take any other action that has the effect of restricting or reducing the voting rights of an existing class of securities. These rules could be violated if the holders of the promissory notes were permitted to vote on an "as converted" basis or if the promissory notes gave the holders the right to appoint a director to the Board of Directors. There are no provisions in the promissory notes or warrants that restrict or reduce the voting rights of an existing class of securities. Based on the foregoing discussion, the Board of Directors requests that stockholders approve the following resolutions: 8 RESOLVED, that in accordance with Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the stockholders of the Company hereby authorize the Board of Directors to sell, in a transaction that does not qualify as a public offering of the Company's securities for the purpose of Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii), a total of 7,950,000 shares of Common Stock; and it is further RESOLVED, that the officers of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and empowered (any one of them acting alone), in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to procure any authorizations or approvals or to do or cause to be done all such acts or things and to sign and deliver or cause to be signed and delivered, all such documents, including but not limited to, stock certificates, federal and state securities forms, filings, applications or other documents, with such amendments, additions and other modifications thereto, as such officer may deem appropriate, which shall be deemed conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof, and to carry out and fully perform the terms and provisions of such documents in order to carry into effect the foregoing resolution and to fully effect the transactions contemplated in such resolution. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" APPROVING THE SALE OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF THE LIMIT IMPOSED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS MARKETPLACE RULES.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 the Company received the use of office space and equipment from Walter G. Mize without charge. The Company's management estimates the value of the use of the office space and equipment at approximately $25,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Mr. Mize is under no obligation to provide the use of the office space or equipment to the Company. The Company received a line of credit of up to $3.0 million from Almac Financial Corporation, a corporation related to Walter G. Mize. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. We believe that this line of credit is on terms at least as favorable to the Company as it could obtain from a lender not related to the Company. MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors held two meetings during the 2003 fiscal year. In addition, action was taken by the Board of Directors by unanimous written consent two times in lieu of a meeting. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. 12 COMMUNICATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors has not established a formal process for stockholders to send communications to its members. Any stockholder may send a communication to any member of the Board of Directors, in care of the Company's address or in care of the address shown in the table of beneficial ownership set forth on page 10. If a communication is sent to the Company's address, the Company will forward any such communication to the Board member. ATTENDANCE OF BOARD MEMBERS AT ANNUAL STOCKHOLDERS MEETING Each member of the Board of Directors is required to attend the Company's Annual Meeting of its stockholders. All members of the Board of Directors attended the previous Annual Meeting of the Company's stockholders. REPORT ON COMMITTEES The Board of Directors has three standing committees. Information regarding the functions of the Board's committees, their present membership and the number of meetings held by each committee during the 2003 fiscal year is described below. Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors the selection of independent public accountants to audit the Company's books and records annually, to discuss with the independent auditors and internal auditors the scope and results of any audit, to review and approve any nonaudit services performed by the Company's independent auditing firm, and to review certain related party transactions. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. C. Dean Boyd, Dr. Joe Martin and Ms. Theresa Turner. The Audit Committee met four times in the year 2003. The Audit Committee charter is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Stock Option Committee. The Stock Option Committee is responsible for the administration of the 1995 United Heritage Corporation Stock Option Plan, the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan, the 2000 Stock Option Plan and the 2002 Consultant Equity Plan. The members of the Stock Option Committee are Mr. Walter G. Mize and Mr. Joe Martin. The Stock Option Committee did not meet in the year 2003; instead, option and other equity grants made pursuant to the above-named plans were made by the Board of Directors. Nominating Committee. The members of the Nominating Committee are Dr. Joe Martin, Mr. C. Dean Boyd, Ms. Theresa Turner and Mr. Larry G. Coker. The Nominating Committee met once during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. Neither the Boston Stock Exchange nor Nasdaq, both of which list the Company's Common Stock, have established independence requirements that members of the Nominating Committee must meet. The Nominating Committee does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Board of Directors has made no determination as to whether or not such a policy should be adopted. The Nominating Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders. The minimum qualifications required by the Nominating Committee for a director are: o A minimum age of 35 years; o Minimum employment experience of 12 years; o Minimum education of 12 years; 13 o The ability to commit at least 24 hours per year to the Company as a member of its Board of Directors; o A candidate for director may not: (i) have any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time, (ii) have been convicted in a criminal proceeding or be subject to a pending criminal proceeding, (iii) have been or be subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities, (iv) have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; or (v) hold a position on the Board of Directors of a business in competition with the Company's business. o A candidate for director must agree to abide by the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Nominating Committee believes that at least one or more of the Company's directors should have experience in the oil and gas industry as well as an understanding of the accounting principles applicable to the oil and gas industry, generally accepted accounting principles and the preparation of financial statements. To date, the Nominating Committee has not received a nominee from a stockholder who is not an officer or director of the Company. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and director, Walter G. Mize, who is also the Company's largest stockholder, proposed the candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors. Each nominee to the Company's Board of Directors expressed a willingness to serve during the 2004 fiscal year and, based on a review of their qualifications, were deemed to be suitable candidates for nomination. The Board of Directors does not have a Compensation Committee. REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is currently composed of three directors who are independent directors as defined under Rule 4200(a)(14) of the National Association of Securities Dealers Marketplace Rules. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management is responsible for our financial statements and the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors the audited financial statements that have been included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2003. 14 The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from the Company and its management including the matters in the written disclosures provided to the Audit Committee as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the 2003 fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has also recommended the selection of the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004. Members of the Audit Committee C. Dean Boyd Joe Martin Theresa Turner COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES ACT Section 16(a) of the Securities Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish to us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from the reporting persons, we believe that during our 2003 fiscal year our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, with the exception of the following: each member of the Board of Directors and our executive officers received an option to purchase the Company's Common Stock on May 30, 2003. These grants were not reported until June 13, 2003. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any shareholder who intends to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting in the year 2005 must deliver the proposal to our principal executive office no later than the close of business on October 1, 2004. Notice of intention to present a proposal at the 2005 Annual Meeting should be addressed to Corporate Secretary, United Heritage Corporation, 2 North Caddo Street, Cleburne, Texas 76031. We reserve the right to vote against, reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these requirements. TRANSACTION OF OTHER BUSINESS Management does not know of any matters to be brought before the meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If any matters which are not specifically set forth in the form of proxy and this Proxy Statement properly come before the meeting, the persons designated as proxies will vote thereon in accordance with their best judgment. 15 APPENDIX A UNITED HERITAGE CORPORATION AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER ORGANIZATION The Audit Committee (the "Committee") is a committee of the Board of Directors of United Heritage Corporation (the "Company"). The Committee is composed of at least three (3) directors, each of whom is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement or will be able to do so within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee. In addition, at least one (1) member must have past employment experience in either accounting or finance, professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that 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. Each member of the committee shall also be an "independent director," as described in Rule 4200 of the NASD Manual. One director who is not independent, and who is not a current employee or an immediate family member of a person who is an employee of the Company, may be appointed to the Committee, if the Board of Directors, under exceptional and limited circumstances, determines that membership on the Committee by the individual is required by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors must disclose the nature of the relationship and the reasons for its determination in the Company's next annual proxy statement. STATEMENT OF POLICY The Committee shall assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility to the shareholders relating to corporate accounting, reporting practices of the Company, and the quality and integrity of the financial reports of the Company. In so doing, it is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain free and open means of communication between the directors, the independent auditors, the internal auditors, and the management of the Company. RESPONSIBILITIES IN CARRYING OUT ITS RESPONSIBILITIES, THE COMMITTEE'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES SHOULD REMAIN FLEXIBLE, IN ORDER BEST TO REACT TO CHANGING CONDITIONS AND TO ENSURE TO THE DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS THAT THE CORPORATE ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING PRACTICES OF THE COMPANY ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS AND ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Committee will: o Receive and review from the outside auditors a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the Company and the auditor, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard 1. o Conduct a dialogue with the auditor regarding any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor. o Take or recommend that the full Board take appropriate action to oversee the independence of the outside auditor. 16 o Assure the outside auditor's accountability to the Board of Directors and the Committee as representatives of the Company's shareholders. o Exercise the authority and responsibility, as representatives of the shareholders, to select, evaluate, and when appropriate replace the outside auditor (or to nominate the outside auditor to be proposed for shareholder approval in any proxy statement). o Meet with the independent auditors and financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit for the current year and the audit procedures to be utilized, and, at the conclusion thereof, review the audited financial statements, including any comments or recommendations of the independent auditors, with management of the Company and the outside auditors. o Prepare annually a report of the Committee that, among other requirements, complies with the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulation S-K, Item 306. o Review the financial statements to be contained in the annual report to shareholders with management and the independent auditors to determine that the independent auditors are satisfied with the disclosure and content of the financial statements to be presented to the shareholders. Any changes in accounting principles will be reviewed. o In the Committee's annual report, include a recommendation to the Board of Directors regarding the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. o Review with the independent auditors, the company's internal auditor, and financial and accounting personnel, the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls of the corporation, and elicit any recommendations for the improvement of such internal control procedures or particular areas where new or more detailed controls or procedures are desirable. Particular emphasis will be given to the adequacy of such internal controls to expose any payments, transactions, or procedures that might be deemed illegal or otherwise improper. o Provide sufficient opportunity for the internal and independent auditors to meet with the members of the Committee without members of management present. Among the items to be discussed in these meetings are the independent auditors' evaluation of the corporation's financial, accounting, and auditing personnel, and the cooperation that the independent auditors received during the course of the audit. o Review accounting and financial human resources and succession planning within the company. o Submit the minutes of all meetings and all written consents of the Audit Committee to the Board of Directors. o Investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties, with the power to retain outside counsel for this purpose if, in its judgment, that is appropriate. o Act by meeting, conference call or written consent as provided by the Company's Bylaws for activities of committees of the Board of Directors. 17 This charter of the Audit Committee is hereby adopted, in one or more counterparts, by action of all of the directors of the Company, effective as at September 11, 2000. The Company's Secretary shall place this Audit Committee Charter in the Company's Minute Book as an action by unanimous written consent of the Company's directors. /s/Walter G. Mize /s/C.
