                            of the Board of Directors
                                       of
                               Z-Axis Corporation


I.  Purpose

The primary  function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors
(the  "Board") of Z-Axis  Corporation  (the  "Corporation")  in  fulfilling  its
oversight responsibilities by reviewing

a)   the financial reports and other financial information provided by Z-Axis to
     any governmental body or to the public;

b)   the  Corporation's   systems  of  internal  controls   regarding   finance,
     accounting,  legal compliance and ethics that management and the Board have
     established or may establish;

c)   and  the  Corporation's   auditing,   accounting  and  financial  reporting
     processes,  generally.  Consistent with this function,  the Audit Committee
     should encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to,
     the  Corporation's  policies,  procedures and practices at all levels.  The
     Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to:

     o    Serve  as  an   independent   and  objective   party  to  monitor  the
          Corporation's financial reporting process and internal control system.

     o    Review and appraise the audit efforts of the Corporation's independent
          auditors.

     o    Provide  an  open  avenue  of  communication   among  the  independent
          auditors, financial and senior management and the Board.

The Audit  Committee  will fulfill  these  responsibilities  by carrying out the
activities  enumerated  in Section IV of this Charter and such other  activities
consistent  with  this  Charter  as may  from  time  to  time  be  necessary  or
appropriate.


II.  Composition of the Audit Committee

The Audit  Committee  shall be  comprised of two or more members of the Board as
determined by the Board,  at least 50% of which shall be independent  directors,
free from any  relationship  that, in the opinion of the Board,  would interfere
with the  exercise of his or her  independent  judgment as a member of the Audit
Committee. For purposes of this Charter, the definition of independent directors
will  be  based  on the  rules  of the  NASDAQ  Stock  Market,  Inc.  for  audit
committees, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

The members of the Audit  Committee  shall be elected by the Board at the annual
organizational meeting of the Board and shall serve at the pleasure of the Board
or until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified. Unless a chairman
of the Audit Committee (the  "Chairman") is elected by the Board, the members of
the  Committee  may  designate  a Chairman  by  majority  vote of the full Audit
Committee membership.


III. Meetings

The Audit Committee shall meet from time to time as called by the Chairman or as
requested by the  independent  auditors.  The Audit Committee may ask members of
management  or others to attend  meetings  of the Audit  Committee  and  provide
pertinent information as necessary. As part of its responsibility to foster open
communication,  the Audit Committee shall meet at least annually with management
and the  independent  auditors  in  separate  executive  sessions to discuss any
matters  that the  Audit  Committee  or any of these  groups  believe  should be
discussed  privately.  In addition,  the Audit  Committee or its Chairman  shall
discuss  with  management  the  Corporation's   quarterly  financial  statements
consistent with Section IV.3 below.  The Audit Committee may maintain minutes or
other records of meetings and activities of the Audit Committee.
