                             EMPIRE GLOBAL CORP.
                             (the "Corporation")

                          AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER


The audit committee is a committee of the board of directors to which the board
delegates its responsibilities for the oversight of the accounting and financial
reporting process and financial statement audits.


Formation

The Board of Directors of Empire Global Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), has established the Audit Committee pursuant to Section 141(c)(2) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law and Article III, Section 10 of the
Company's Bylaws.


Composition

The Audit Committee (the "Committee") shall be comprised of not less than three
members of the Board of Directors of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, the
exact number of members of the Committee shall be fixed and may be changed from
time to time by resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors. The Committee
members will be appointed by the Board of Directors and may be removed by the
Board in its discretion. Each member shall be independent as defined in the
listing standards of the exchange on which the Company's securities are quoted
or listed in effect from time to time (referred to below as the "Listing
Standards") and the Board of Directors shall have affirmatively determined that
the member is independent. As more clearly set forth in the Listing Standards,
members must not have any current or past relationships with the Company which
would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment or otherwise fail to
meet the independent standards set forth in the Listing Standards. In addition,
the members of the Committee also shall satisfy the following requirements:

    - Each member shall be "financially literate" as determined by the Board of
    Directors. A director shall be considered "financially literate" if by
    reason of his or her educational, professional or business background, the
    director is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements,
    including a company's balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash
    flows.

    - At least one member of the Committee must have accounting or related
    financial management expertise and, to the extent reasonably possible,
    otherwise satisfy the standards of an "audit committee financial expert" as
    defined in Regulation S-K Item 401(e) adopted by the Securities and
    Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

    - Other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors
    or of a committee thereof, no director who, directly or indirectly, accepts
    any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company as
    determined pursuant to SEC Rule 10A-3(b)(1) shall be eligible to serve as a
    member of the Committee.

    - No director who is an "affiliated person" of the Company as defined by
    SEC Rule 10A-3(e)(i) shall be eligible to serve as a member of the
    Committee.




Purpose and responsibilities

The primary purpose of the Committee shall be to: (i) assist the Board of
Directors in discharging its responsibilities to oversee the integrity of the
Company's financial statements, the Company's compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, the independent auditors qualifications and
independence, and the performance of the Company's internal audit function and
independent auditors; (ii) have direct responsibility for the appointment,
compensation, retention and oversight of the work of any independent auditors
employed by the Company for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report
or performing other audit, review or attest services; and (iii) produce an audit
committee report for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement. The Committee's
responsibilities shall include the following:

A. Pre-Approval of Auditor Services

    - All audit services, including the provision of comfort letters in
    connection with securities offerings, and non-audit services provided to
    the Company by the Company's auditors shall be approved in advance by the
    Committee, except with respect to non-audit, review or attest services if:

        * The aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the
        Company constitute less than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid
        by the Company to its auditor during the fiscal year in which the
        non-audit services are provided;

        * The services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the
        engagement to be non-audit services; and

        * The services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee
        and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or
        by one or more members of the Committee to whom authority to grant
        such approvals has been delegated by the Committee.

If the Committee approves an audit service within the scope of engagement of the
independent auditor, the audit service shall be deemed to have been preapproved
for purposes of this Article III, A. The Committee may delegate to one or more
of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any decision by a member to
whom such authority has been delegated shall be presented to the Committee at
its next meeting.

    - The independent auditor and any person associated with the independent
    auditor (to the extent determined appropriate by the SEC) shall not provide
    contemporaneously with the audit, and the Committee shall not approve, any
    of the following as defined under SEC Reg. S-X, Rule 2-01(c)(4):

        * Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records
        or financial statements of the Company;

        * Financial information systems design and implementation;

        * Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or
        contribution-in-kind reports;
