* To authorize our Board of Directors in its discretion,
to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse
stock split in a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20,

Who is entitled to vote?
------------------------

You may vote if you owned stock as of the close of business
on November 10, 2004. Each share of common stock is entitled
to one vote. As of November 11, 2004, we had 134,346,053
shares of common stock outstanding. As of December 14, 2004
there were 382 shareholders of record. The holders of the
Company outstanding shares of preferred stock have no voting
rights.

How do I vote before the meeting?
----------------------------------

You have two voting options:

* By facsimile through the number shown on your proxy
card; or
* By mail by completing, signing and returning the
enclosed proxy card.

If you hold your shares in the name of a bank or broker,
whether you can vote by facsimile depends on their voting
processes. Please follow the directions on your proxy card
carefully.

Can I vote at the meeting?
---------------------------

You may vote your shares at the meeting if you attend in
person. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we encourage
you to vote your shares by proxy. You may vote by proxy by
facsimile or by mail.

Can I change my mind after I vote?
----------------------------------

You may change your vote at any time before the polls close
at the meeting. You may do this by (1) signing another proxy
with a later date and returning it to us by mail or facsimile
prior to the meeting, or (2) voting again at the meeting.

What if I return my proxy card but do not provide voting
instructions?
-------------------------------------------------------------

Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain
instructions will be voted (1) FOR the election of the
nominee directors named on page 3 of this proxy statement;
(2) FOR the authorization of our Board of Directors in its
discretion, to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to
effect a reverse stock split in a ratio of between 1-for-10
and 1-for-20, without further approval of our stockholders;
and (3) FOR the ratification of Tanner + Co. as the Company's
independent auditors.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
--------------------------------------------------------

It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or
our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We
recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer
agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the
same name and address. Our transfer agent is Registrar and
Transfer Company, which may be reached at 1-800-866-1340.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?
-----------------------------------------------------

Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they
are held in the name of a brokerage firm. Brokerage firms
have the authority under the National Association of
Securities Dealers rules to vote customers' un-voted shares,
which are referred to as "broker non-votes," on certain
"routine" matters, including the election of directors.
Shares represented by broker non-votes are counted for
purposes of establishing a quorum. At our meeting, shares
represented by broker non-votes will be counted as voted by
the brokerage firm in the election of directors and the
ratification of the auditors, but will not be counted for all
other matters to be voted on because these other matters are
not considered "routine" under the applicable rules. If you
hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be
voted if you do not provide a proxy.

How can I attend the meeting?
-----------------------------

The annual meeting is open to all holders of Commodore
Applied Technologies common stock. To attend the meeting,
you will need to bring evidence of your stock ownership. If
your shares are registered in your name, your admission card
is attached to your proxy card, and you will need to bring it
with you to the meeting. If your shares are in the name of
your broker or bank or you received your proxy materials
electronically, you will need to bring evidence of your stock
ownership, such as your most recent brokerage statement, and
valid picture identification. For directions to the annual
meeting, please call our Investor Relations department at 212-
308-5800. If you do not have either an admission card or
proof that you own Commodore Applied Technologies stock, you
may not be admitted into the meeting.

May stockholders ask questions at the meeting?
----------------------------------------------

Yes. Representatives of the Company will answer
stockholders' questions of general interest at the end of the
meeting. In order to give a greater number of stockholders
an opportunity to ask questions, individuals or groups will
be allowed to ask only one question and no repetitive or
follow-up questions will be permitted.

How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?
---------------------------------------------------

Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you
attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly
return a proxy by mail, or facsimile. In order for us to
conduct our meeting, a majority of our outstanding shares of
common stock as of November 10, 2004, must be present in
person or by proxy at the meeting. This is referred to as a
quorum.

ABOUT THE MEETING

How many votes are needed to elect directors?
---------------------------------------------

The eight nominees receiving the highest number of "Yes"
votes will be elected as directors. This number is called a
plurality. Shares not voted, whether by marking "Abstain" on
your proxy card, by broker non-vote (which is described
above), or otherwise, will have no impact on the election of
directors, except that they may be counted for purposes of
establishing a quorum. Unless a properly executed proxy card
is marked "Withhold Authority," the proxy given will be voted
"For" the eight nominees for director.

How many votes are needed to authorize our Board of Directors
in its discretion, to amend our Certificate of Incorporation
to effect a reverse stock split in a ratio of between 1-for-
10 and 1-for-20, without further approval of our
stockholders?
-------------------------------------------------------------

The amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to
authorize our Board of Directors in its discretion, to amend
our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock
split in a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20, without
further approval of our stockholders must receive the "Yes"
vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock
as of November 10, 2004. A properly executed proxy card
marked "Abstain" with respect to these proposals will not be
voted. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a
vote "Against" these proposals.

How many votes are needed to ratify the auditors?
-------------------------------------------------

The proposal to ratify the Company's selection of an
independent auditor must receive the "Yes" vote of a majority
of the shares present at the meeting in order to be approved.
Shares not voted, whether by marking "Abstain" on your proxy
card, by broker non-vote (which is described above), or
otherwise, will have no impact on the ratification of the
Company's independent auditor. Unless a properly executed
proxy card is marked "Withhold Authority," the proxy given
will be voted "For" ratification of the Company's independent
auditor.

Can my shares be voted on matters other than those described
in this proxy statement?
-------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. The Company has not received proper notice of, and is
not aware of, any business to be transacted at the meeting
other than as indicated in this proxy statement. If any
other item or proposal properly comes before the meeting, the

PROPOSED AMENDMENT RELATING TO A REVERSE SPLIT
OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK (Proposal Number 2)

What am I voting on?
--------------------

Our Board of Directors is seeking approval of an amendment to
our certificate of incorporation, as amended, which we refer
to as our certificate of incorporation, to effect a proposed
reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock in a
ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20 at any time before the
2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our Board of Directors
believes that, because it is not possible to predict market
conditions at the time the reverse stock split is to be
effected, it would be in the best interests of the
stockholders if the Board were able to determine, within
specified limits approved in advance by our stockholders, the
appropriate reverse stock split ratio. The proposed reverse
stock split would combine a whole number of outstanding
shares of our common stock into one share of common stock,
thus reducing the number of outstanding shares without any
corresponding change in our par value or market
capitalization. As a result, the number of shares of our
common stock owned by each stockholder would be reduced in
the same proportion as the reduction in the total number of
shares outstanding, so that the percentage of the outstanding
shares owned by each stockholder would remain unchanged
(subject to any adjustments for fractional shares).

If this proposal is approved by our stockholders, our Board
of Directors will subsequently have the authority, in its
sole discretion, to determine whether or not to proceed with
a reverse stock split. If the Board of Directors determines,
based on factors such as prevailing market and other relevant
conditions and circumstances and the trading prices of our
common stock at that time, that a reverse stock split is in
our best interests and in the best interests of our
stockholders, it may, at such time as it deems appropriate,
determine the exact ratio of the reverse stock split and
effect the reverse split approved by our stockholders without
further approval or authorization of our stockholders. The
text of the proposed amendment to our certificate of
incorporation is provided in Appendix A. The text of the
proposed amendment is subject to modification to include such
changes as may be required by the office of the secretary of
state of Delaware or as our Board of Directors deems
necessary and advisable to effect the reverse stock split.

Our Board of Directors reserves the right, even after
stockholder approval, to forego or postpone the filing of the
amendment to our certificate of incorporation if it determines
such action is not in our best interests or the best interests
of our stockholders. If the reverse stock split adopted by the
stockholders is not subsequently implemented by our Board of
Directors and effected by the 2005 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, this proposal will be deemed abandoned, without
any further effect. In such case, our Board of Directors will
again seek stockholder approval at a future date for a reverse
stock split if it deems a reverse stock split to be advisable
at that time. If the amendment to our certificate of
incorporation is adopted and filed with the Delaware secretary
of state, there will be no change in the number of authorized
shares of our common stock.

What are the Reasons for the Board's Recommendation?
----------------------------------------------------

Our Board of Directors has determined that it would be
advisable to effect a reverse stock split that would reduce
the number of shares of our outstanding common stock. The
primary reason for the reverse split stock is to increase the
trading price of our common stock on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board on a per share basis, which we believe will
have several benefits to our company and our stockholders.

Our Board of Directors believes that our current low per share
market price of our common stock is due to many factors which
include: the Company's lack of profitable operations over the
last three years, the Company's declining revenue base over
the last three years, the Company's restructuring efforts over
the last three years, and to a lesser extent overall weakness
in the environmental services sector. Our Board of Directors
is hopeful that the price of our common stock will increase as
we continue to implement our business plan.

Our Board of Directors believes that the increased market
price of our common stock expected as a result of implementing
a reverse stock split will improve the marketability of our
common stock and encourage interest and trading in our common
stock. Because of the trading volatility often associated
with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and
institutional investors have internal policies and practices
that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks
or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-
priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and
practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-
priced stock economically unattractive to brokers.
Additionally, because brokers' commissions on low-priced
stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock
price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current
average price per share of our common stock can result in
individual shareholders paying transaction costs representing
a higher percentage of their total share value then would be
the case if the share price were substantially higher.

Our Board of Directors believes that by increasing the per
share market price of our common stock as a result of the
reverse stock split, we may encourage greater interest in our
common stock and enhance the acceptability and marketability
of our common stock to the financial community and investing
public as well as promote greater liquidity for our
stockholders. In addition, we have 134,346,053 outstanding
shares of common stock and 1,001,200 outstanding shares of
preferred stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of
181,473,539 shares of common stock, which is more than other
engineering and environmental waste treatment companies that
are comparable in size to us. A reverse stock split would
reduce the number of shares outstanding to a number that is
more comparable with those of similar engineering and
environmental waste treatment companies and more appropriate
to the size and scope of our current business.

It should be noted that even after implementing a reverse
stock split, the marketability of our common stock will still
be adversely impacted by the rules addressing broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions involving a stock
defined as a "penny stock" (generally, an equity security that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share that is not
traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on Nasdaq).
In addition, the liquidity of our common stock may be
adversely affected by the proposed reverse stock split given
the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after
the reverse stock split. For more information on these
considerations and other potential disadvantages or special
considerations relating to the reverse stock split, see "What
are the Risk Factors and Other Special Considerations Relating
to the Proposed Reverse Stock Split?" below.

How did the Board Decide on the Range of 1-10 to 1-20 for the
Reverse Split?
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Board of Directors believes that shareholder approval of
an exchange ratio range (rather than an exact exchange ratio)
provides the Board of Directors with maximum flexibility to
achieve the purposes of the reverse stock split. The Board
analyzed several companies in the same industrial sector and
of similar market capitalization and annual revenue size to
determine the optimal level of common stock issuance in the
public marketplace. The Board determined that the Company
should have 1/10 to 1/20 of the currently issued shares of
common stock to more favorably compare to these companies with
respect to share price, share activity, and capital structure.

A reverse stock split would reduce the number of shares
outstanding to a number that is more comparable with those of
similar engineering and environmental waste treatment
companies and more appropriate to the size and scope of our
current business.

Why does the Board think the Proposed Reverse Split is Fair to
the Shareholders?
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Board feels the proposed reverse stock split is fair to
all shareholders because they will all be treated equally with
respect to the terms and conditions of the reverse stock
split. The reverse stock split will affect all of our
shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's
percentage ownership interest in the Company except to the
extent that the reverse stock split results in any shareholder
owning a fractional share.

As described below in the section entitled "What is the Effect
on Fractional Shares?", shareholders holding fractional shares
will be entitled to cash payments in lieu of such fractional
shares. Such cash payments would reduce the number of post-
split shareholders to the extent there are shareholders
holding fewer than up to 20 shares, depending on the ratio for
the reverse stock split selected by the Board of Directors.
This is not,

however, the purpose for which the reverse stock
split is being affected. As of December 10, 2004, the Company
has no shareholder of record holding less than 20 shares,
although the Company may have beneficial owners of fewer than
20 shares.

What are the Risk Factors and Other Special Considerations
Relating to the Reverse Stock Split?
--------------------------------------------------------------

If the reverse stock split is effected, the resulting per-share
stock price may not attract institutional investors or
investment funds and may not satisfy the investing guidelines
of such investors and, consequently, the trading liquidity of
our common stock may not improve.

While the Board of Directors believes that a higher stock price
may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance
that the reverse stock split will result in a per-share price
that will attract investors or that such share price will
satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or
investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of our
common stock may not necessarily improve.

There can be no assurance that that the total market
capitalization of our common stock (the aggregate value of all
our common stock at the then market price) after the proposed
reverse stock split will be equal to or greater than the total
market capitalization before the proposed reverse stock split
or that the per-share market price of our common stock
following the reverse stock split will increase in proportion
to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock
outstanding before the reverse stock split.

There can be no assurance that the market price per new share
of our common stock after the reverse stock split will remain
unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the
number of old shares of our common stock outstanding before the
reverse stock split. For example, based on the closing price
of our common stock on December 14, 2004 as quoted in the Over-
the-Counter Bulletin Board of $.01 per share, if the Board of
Directors decides to implement the reverse stock split and
selects a reverse stock split ratio of one-for-twenty, there
can be no assurance that the post-split market price of our
common stock would be $.20 or greater. Accordingly, the total
market capitalization of our common stock after the reverse
stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization
before the reverse stock spilt. Moreover, in the future, the
market price of our common stock following the reverse stock
split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price
prior to the reverse stock split.

A decline in the market price of our common stock after the
reverse stock split may result in a greater percentage decline
than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split, and
the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected
following such a reverse stock split.

If the reverse stock split is effected and the market price of
our common stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater
than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. The
market price of our common stock will, however, also be based on
our performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the
number of shares of common stock outstanding. Furthermore, the
liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected by the
reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the
reverse stock split.

The marketability of our common stock will continue to be
adversely impacted by the "penny stock rules."

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in
"penny stocks" are regulated by certain penny stock rules
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny
stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity
securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than
securities registered on certain national securities exchanges
or quoted on Nasdaq. The penny stock rules require a broker-
dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise
exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document that provides information about penny stocks and the
nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-
dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-
dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the
broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must
disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over
the market, and monthly account statements showing the market
value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons
other than established customers and "accredited investors" must
make

a special written determination that the penny stock is a
suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently,
these requirements will continue to have the effect of reducing
the level of trading activity and marketability of our common
stock.

Stockholders holding less than 20 shares of common stock may be
forced to sell their shares at a time not of their choosing and
at a depressed market price.

Shareholders holding fractional shares will be entitled to cash
payments in lieu of such fractional shares. Thus, shareholders
holding fewer than 20 shares may be forced, as a result of the
reverse stock split, to sell their shares at a time not of
their own choosing. Moreover, because such holders do not
choose the time of such sale, such holders may be forced to
sell at a depressed price.

The reverse stock split may result in increased transaction
costs to stockholders.

The number of shares held by each individual stockholder will
be reduced if the reverse stock split is implemented. This will
increase the number of stockholders who hold less than a "round
lot," or 100 shares. Typically, the transaction costs to
stockholders selling "odd lots" are higher on a per share
basis. Consequently, the reverse stock split could increase the
transaction costs to existing stockholders in the event they
wish to sell all or a portion of their position.
The reverse stock split will result in an increased number of
authorized but unissued shares, which could lead to greater
dilution as a result of future financing. Upon effectiveness
of the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of
common stock that are not issued or outstanding, as of December
10, 2004, would increase from approximately 165,653,947 shares
to as many as approximately 286,565,395 shares assuming a 1-for-
10 reverse stock split. As a result, we will have an
increased number of authorized but unissued shares of common
stock. Authorized but unissued shares will be available for
issuance, and we may issue such shares in financings or
otherwise. If we issue additional shares, the ownership
interests of our current stockholders may be diluted.

What Factors will the Board Cconsider in Determining Wwhether
and wWhen to eEffect the Reverse Stock Split?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Although the Board of Directors has not yet determined the
timing of the reverse stock split, the Board is currently in
favor of effecting the reverse stock split in a timely manner
following stockholder approval of this proposal in the range
proposed assuming all of the factors which led the Board to
consider the reverse stock split continue to exist. The
determination of whether and when to effect the reverse stock
split will be determined by the Board of Directors based on
prevailing market conditions at the time and the current share
price of the Company's common stock at such time.

How many Shares Will Result after the Reverse Split?
------------------------------------------------------

The information in the following table is based on 134,434,605
shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock as
of December 10, 2004.

Proposed Reverse Shares Issued Shares Authorized and Shares Authorized
Stock Split and Outstanding Reserved for Issuance but Unreserved

1 for 10 13,434,605 30,052,549 256,512,846
1 for 20 6,717,303 15,026,274 278,256,423

What is the Effect on Fractional Shares?
----------------------------------------

If any reverse split ratio is authorized by our Board of
Directors, implementation of a reverse stock split would result
in some stockholders owning a fractional share of common stock.
For example, if a 1-for-10 reverse stock split were to be
implemented, the shares owned by a stockholder with 99 shares
would be converted into 9.9 shares. To avoid such a result,
stockholders that would otherwise be entitled to receive a
fractional share of our common stock as a consequence of the
reverse stock split will receive, instead, at the discretion of
our Board of Directors, either (i) a cash payment from us in
U.S. dollars equal to the value of that fractional share,
determined on the basis of the average closing sales price of
our common stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the
20 trading days immediately preceding the effective date of the
reverse stock split (as adjusted for that reverse stock split)
or (ii) a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount
equal to such stockholder's pro rata share of the total
proceeds from the sale, by the transfer agent on behalf of
those holders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a
fractional share, of an aggregate of all fractional shares in
the open market at the then prevailing prices. No transaction
costs will be assessed in connection with the sale of the
aggregated shares. You will not be entitled to receive interest
for the period between the effective time of the reverse stock
split and the date you receive your payment for cashed-out
shares.

If any stockholder owns, in total, fewer than the number of our
shares to be converted into one share as a result of the
reverse stock split, that stockholder's shares would be
converted into a fractional share of stock and that stockholder
would receive only cash in place of the fractional share. For
example, if a 1-for-10 reverse stock split is implemented then
stockholders with fewer than ten shares would receive only
cash. As a result, the interest of such stockholders in our
company would be terminated and such stockholders would have no
right to share in our assets or future growth. Based on this
example, each stockholder that owns ten shares or more of our
common stock prior to the reverse stock split will continue to
own one or more shares after the reverse stock split and would
continue to share in our assets and future growth as a
stockholder, and any stockholder that owns fewer than ten
shares would receive only cash in place of the fractional share
resulting from the reverse stock split. Assuming the reverse
split under the proposed amendment to our certificate of
incorporation is a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, a stockholder
could assure his or her continued ownership of shares of our
stock after the reverse split by purchasing a number of shares
sufficient to increase the total number of shares that he or
she owns to ten or more.

Shareholders should be aware that under the escheat laws of the
various jurisdictions where they reside, where the Company is
domiciled and where the funds will be deposited, sums due for
the fractional interests that are not timely claimed after the
funds are made available may be required to be paid to the
designated agent for each such jurisdiction. Thereafter,
holders of our common stock otherwise entitled to receive such
funds may have to obtain the funds directly from the state to
which they were paid.

What is the Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Options?
------------------------------------------------------

The number of shares subject to outstanding options to purchase
shares of our common stock also would automatically be reduced
in the same ratio as the reduction in the outstanding shares.
Correspondingly, the per share exercise price of those options
will be increased in direct proportion to the reverse stock
split ratio, so that the aggregate dollar amount payable for
the purchase of the shares subject to the options will remain
unchanged. Assuming that an optionee holds options to purchase
1,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.07 per share, on the
effectiveness of a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, the number of
shares subject to that option would be reduced to 100 shares
and the exercise price would be proportionately increased to
$0.70 per share.

Why is the Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Warrants?
-----------------------------------------------------

The agreements governing the outstanding warrants to purchase
shares of our common stock include provisions requiring
adjustments to both the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of such warrants, and the exercise prices of such warrants, in
the event of a reverse stock split. Assuming that a warrant
holder holds a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $0.07 per share, on the
effectiveness of a 1-

for-10 reverse stock split, the number of
shares subject to that warrant would be reduced to 1,000 shares
and the exercise price would be proportionately increased to
$0.70 per share.

What is the Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock?
--------------------------------------------------------------

On November 4, 1999, the Company completed a $2.5 million
private placement financing with The Shaar Fund Ltd. The
Company issued to The Shaar Fund 335,000 shares of a newly
authorized Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series E
Convertible"), par value $0.001 per share, each such share of
Series E Convertible having a stated value of $10.00 per
share.

The holder of our Series E Convertible may convert into the
Company's common stock, at any time after April 30, 2000, for
a conversion price equal to the arithmetic mean of the closing
prices of the Company's common stock as reported on the Over
the Counter Bulletin Board for the ten trading days
immediately preceding the date of conversion. The Shaar Fund
currently holds 95,500 shares of Series E Convertible. The
conversion of the Series E Convertible is unaffected by the
Reverse Stock Split.

Accordingly, if the market price of the Company's common stock
after the reverse stock split does not increase at least
proportionately to the reduction in the number of outstanding
shares of common stock as a result of the split (and remain at
at least such level), then the Series E Convertible will
convert in to a larger percentage of the outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock and therefore have a greatera
greater dilutive effect on existing shareholders after the
reverse stock split.

The holders of the Series E Convertible have no voting rights
and will not be entitled to vote on proposals addressed in the
Company's proxy statement.

What is the Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Series F
Convertible Preferred Stock?
--------------------------------------------------------------

On March 20, 2000, the Company completed a $2.0 million
private placement financing with The Shaar Fund Ltd. The
Company issued to The Shaar Fund 226,000 shares of Series F
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series F Convertible"), par
value $0.001 per share, each such share of Series F
Convertible having a stated value of $10.00 per share.

The holder of our Series F Convertible may convert into the
Company's common stock, at any time after September 31, 2000,
for a conversion price equal to the arithmetic mean of the
closing prices of the Company's common stock as reported on
the Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the ten trading days
immediately preceding the date of conversion. The Shaar Fund
currently holds 118,200 shares of Series F Convertible. The
conversion of the Series F Convertible is unaffected by the
Reverse Stock Split.

Accordingly, if the market price of the Company's common stock
after the reverse stock split does not increase at least
proportionately to the reduction in the number of outstanding
shares of common stock as a result of the split (and remain at
at least such level) then the Series F Convertible will
convert in to a larger percentage of the outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock and therefore have a greatera
greater dilutive effect on existing shareholders after the
reverse stock split.

The holders of the Series F Convertible have no voting rights
and will not be entitled to vote on proposals addressed in the
Company's proxy statement.

What is the Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Series H
Convertible Preferred Stock?
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Company issued 800,000 shares of Series H Preferred stock
(the "Series H Preferred"), par value $0.001 per share, each
such share of Series H Preferred having a stated value of
$1.00 per share, to DRM, Russell and Speciale as part of the
DRM Settlement Agreement as of September 30, 2002 for
satisfaction of the remaining liabilities relating to the
purchase and working capital of DRM.

The certificate of designations governing the rights of our
outstanding shares of Series H Preferred provides for
adjustments to the conversion amount of the outstanding
Series H Preferred stock in the event of a reverse stock
split. Assuming that a 1-for-10 reverse stock split is
implemented and a stockholder holds one share of our Series H
Preferred, with an accreted value of $1.00 per share and a
minimum conversion price of $0.40 per share, before the
effectiveness of the reverse stock split, this share of
Series H Preferred would be convertible into 2.5 shares of
common stock. On the effectiveness of the reverse stock split,
the conversion price of the Series H Preferred would be
proportionately increased to $4.00 per share. As a result,
these 800,000 shares of Series H Preferred would be
convertible into 200,000 shares of common stock.

The holders of the Series H Convertible have no voting rights
and will not be entitled to vote on proposals addressed in the
Company's proxy statement.

Implementation and Effect of the Reverse Stock Split
-----------------------------------------------------

If approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, and if
our Board of Directors determines that effecting a reverse
stock split is in our best interests and the best interests of
our stockholders, the Board will, in its sole discretion,
select the reverse stock split in a ratio between 1-for-10 and
1-for-20, based on market and other relevant conditions and
circumstances and the trading prices of our common stock at
that time, and determine the method of dealing with fractional
shares. Following such determinations, our Board of Directors
will effect the reverse stock split by directing management to
file the amendment to our certificate of incorporation with
the secretary of state of Delaware at such time as the Board
has determined is appropriate to effect the reverse stock
split. The reverse stock split will become effective at the
time specified in the amendment to our certificate of
incorporation after its filing with the secretary of state of
Delaware, which we refer to as the effective time.

We estimate that, following the reverse stock split, we would
have approximately the same number of stockholders and, except
for the effect of cash payments for fractional shares as
described above, the completion of the reverse stock split
would not affect any stockholder's proportionate equity
interest in our company. By way of example, a stockholder who
owns a number of shares that prior to the reverse stock split
represented one-half of a percent of the outstanding shares of
the company would continue to own one-half of a percent of our
outstanding shares after the reverse stock split. The reverse
stock split also will not affect the number of shares of
common stock that our Board of Directors is authorized to
issue under our certificate of incorporation, which will
remain unchanged at 300,000,000 shares. However, it will have
the effect of increasing the number of shares available for
future issuance because of the reduction in the number of
shares that will be outstanding after giving effect to the
reverse stock split. Also, because the reverse stock split
would result in fewer shares of our common stock outstanding,
the per share income/(loss), per share book value and other
"per share" calculations would be increased.

Even if the reverse stock split is approved by the
Stockholders, our Board of Directors has discretion to decline
to carry out the reverse split if it determines for any reason
that the reverse split will not be in our best interests. If
the reverse split is not implemented on or before the 2005
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Board will either
resolicit stockholder approval or abandon the reverse stock
split.

Exchange of Stock Certificates and Payment for Fractional
Shares
--------------------------------------------------------------

Exchange of Stock Certificates. Promptly after the
effective time, you will be notified that the reverse stock
split has been effected. Our stock transfer agent, Registrar
and Transfer Company, whom we refer to as the exchange agent,
will implement the exchange of stock certificates representing
outstanding shares of common stock. You will be asked to
surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing your
pre-split shares in exchange for certificates representing
your post-split shares in accordance with the procedures to be
set forth in a letter of transmittal which we will send to
you. You will not receive a new stock certificate representing
your post-split shares until you surrender your outstanding
certificate(s) representing your pre-split shares, together
with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal
to the exchange agent. We will not issue scrip or fractional
shares, or certificates for fractional shares, in connection
with the reverse stock split. For example, if a ratio of 1-for-
10 is authorized by our Board of Directors, should you be
entitled to receive fractional shares because you hold a
number of shares not evenly divisible by the number four, you
will be entitled, upon

surrender to the exchange agent of
certificates representing such shares, to a cash payment,
without interest, in lieu of such fractional shares. The
ownership of a fractional share will not give you any voting,
dividend or other rights, except the right to receive payment
for the fractional share as described above. PLEASE DO NOT
DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE OR SUBMIT ANY OF YOUR
CERTIFICATES UNTIL YOU ARE REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Effect of Failure to Exchange Stock Certificates.
-------------------------------------------------

Upon the filing of the amendment to our certificate of
incorporation with the Delaware secretary of state, each
certificate representing shares of our common stock outstanding
prior to the that time will, until surrendered and exchanged as
described above, be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to
evidence ownership of the whole number of shares of our common
stock, and the right to receive, from us or the transfer agent,
the amount of cash for any fractional shares, into which the
shares of our common stock evidenced by such certificate have
been converted by the reverse stock split. However, a holder of
such unexchanged certificates will not be entitled to receive
any dividends or other distributions payable by us after the
effective date, until the old certificates have been
surrendered. Such dividends and distributions, if any, will be
accumulated, and at the time of surrender of the old
certificates, all such unpaid dividends or distributions will
be paid without interest.

Are There Appraisal Rights?
---------------------------

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate
of incorporation and amended bylaws, you are not entitled to
appraisal rights with respect to the reverse stock split.

What are the Federal Income Tax Consequences?
----------------------------------------------

The following description of the material federal income tax
consequences of the reverse stock split is based on the
Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury Regulations
promulgated under the Code, judicial authority and current
administrative rulings and practices as in effect on the date
of this proxy statement. Changes to the laws could alter the
tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive
effect. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of
counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding
the federal income tax consequences of the proposed reverse
stock split. This discussion is for general information only
and does not discuss the tax consequences that may apply to
special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-resident aliens,
broker/dealers or insurance companies). The state and local tax
consequences of the reverse stock split may vary significantly
as to each stockholder, depending upon the jurisdiction in
which such stockholder resides. We urge stockholders to consult
their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences
to them.

In general, the federal income tax consequences of the reverse
stock split will vary among stockholders depending upon whether
they receive cash for fractional shares or solely a reduced
number of shares of our common stock in exchange for their old
shares of our common stock. We believe that because the reverse
stock split is not part of a plan to increase periodically a
stockholder's proportionate interest in our assets or earnings
and profits, the reverse stock split will likely have the
following federal income tax effects.

A stockholder who receives solely a reduced number of shares of
our common stock will not recognize gain or loss. In the
aggregate, such a stockholder's basis in the reduced number of
shares of our common stock will equal the stockholder's basis in
its old shares of common stock and the holding period of the
common stock received after the reverse stock split will include
the holding period of the common stock held prior to the reverse
stock split exchanged therefore. A stockholder who receives cash
in lieu of a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock
split will generally be treated as having received the payment
as a distribution in redemption of the fractional share, as
provided in section 302(a) of the Code, which distribution will
be taxed as either a distribution under Section 301 of the Code
or an exchange to such stockholder, depending on that
stockholder's particular facts and circumstances. Generally, if
such distribution is treated as an exchange to a stockholder
receiving such a payment, the stockholder should recognize gain
or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of
cash received and the stockholder's basis in the fractional
share. If the fractional share was held by the stockholder as a
capital asset then the gain or loss will be taxed as capital
gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the
stockholder's holding period in the fractional share is greater
than one year. In the aggregate, such a stockholder's

basis in the reduced number of shares of our common stock will
equal the stockholder's basis in its old shares of common stock
decreased by the basis allocated to the fractional share for which
such stockholder is entitled to receive cash and the holding period
of the common stock received after the reverse stock split will
include the holding period of the common stock held prior to the
reverse stock split exchanged therefore.

We will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the
reverse stock split.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
---------------------------------------

Filings made by companies with the Securities and Exchange
Commission sometimes "incorporate information by reference."
This means the Company is referring you to information that has
been previously filed with the SEC and that this information
should be considered as part of the filing you are reading. The
Compensation Committee Report and Stock Performance Graph in
this proxy statement are not incorporated by reference into any
other filings with the SEC.

What are the components of executive compensation?
---------------------------------------------------

Our compensation program for executives consists of three key
elements:

* Annual base salary
* Performance based annual bonus
* Long-term stock incentive compensation

What is the overview and philosophy of executives compensation?
----------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to be
linked to corporate performance and returns to stockholders. Of
particular importance to the Company is its ability to grow and
enhance its competitiveness for the rest of the decade and
beyond. Shorter-term performance, although scrutinized by the
CSOB Committee, stands behind the issue of furthering the
Company's strategic goals. To this end, the Company has
developed an overall compensation strategy and specific
compensation plans that tie a significant portion of executive
compensation to the Company's success in meeting specified
performance goals.

The objectives of the Company's executive compensation program
are to:

* attract, motivate and retain the highest quality
executives;
* motivate them to achieve tactical and strategic
objectives in a manner consistent with the Company's
corporate values; and
* link executive and stockholder interests through equity-
based plans and provide a compensation package that
recognizes individual contributions as well as overall
business results.

To achieve these objectives, the Company's executive
compensation program is designed to:

* focus participants on high priority goals to increase
stockholder value;
* encourage behavior that exemplifies to Company's values
relating to customers, quality of performance, employees,
integrity, teamwork and good citizenship;
* assess performance based on results and pre-set goals
that link the business activities of each individual to the
goals of the Company; and
* increase stock ownership to promote a proprietary
interest in the success of the Company.

How are the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
compensated?
----------------------------------------------------------------

Shelby T. Brewer, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, received a base salary for 2003 from
January through April of $250,000 per annum, and from May
through December was $285,000 per annum of which $271,000 was
originally deferred until December 31, 2003, and remains unpaid
as of November 11, 2004. The members of the CSOB Committee
established the amount actually received by Mr. Brewer last year
as base salary for services rendered to the Company and its
affiliates. In determining Mr. Brewer's salary, the CSOB
Committee considered, without any particular weighting, the
salaries paid to chief executive officers of comparable
companies, the company's performance in terms of stock price and
key financial indices compared to its peers, the performance of
Mr. Brewer, and Mr. Brewer's extensive industry knowledge.

Mr. Brewer received no cash bonus for fiscal 2003 under the
Officers Bonus Pool Plan. This plan pays total bonuses of up to
25% of a participant's salary. The CSOB Committee determined
that no bonus was to be paid in fiscal 2003.

How are other executive officers compensated?
----------------------------------------------

In setting all other executive officers annual salaries, the
CSOB Committee reviews an annual salary plan recommended by the
Chairman and CEO. The annual salary plan is based on numerous
subjective factors that include performance, merit increases and
responsibility levels.

All executive officers are eligible to participate in the
officer's bonus plans. Under these plans, officers are eligible
to receive a bonus up to an established percent of their annual
base salary, depending on the Company's performance relative to
criteria established by the Compensation Committee. During
fiscal 2003, based upon these objective performance assessments,
no officer was awarded a bonus as reflected in the Summary
Compensation Table contained elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Salaries are based on the Compensation Committee assessment of
each officer's past performance and the expectation for future
contributions in leading the Company. In addition, the
Compensation Committee reviews compensation data for the
industry and other companies similar in size. This review is
not done scientifically. The Compensation Committee uses other
company compensation data for information purposes only, but
also considers subjective factors relating to the differences
between companies.

How are limitations on the deductibility of compensation
handled?
---------------------------------------------------------

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the
deductibility of executive compensation paid by publicly held
corporations to $1 million per employee. The $1 million
limitation generally does not apply to compensation based on
performance goals if certain requirements are met. The Company
believes its Senior Officers' Bonus Pool Plan and Executive
Officers' Bonus Plan each satisfy Section 162(m). As a result,
the Company believes that the compensation paid under these
plans is not subject to limits on deductibility. However, there
can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service would
reach the same conclusion.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
-------------------------

Filings made by companies with the Securities and Exchange
Commission sometimes "incorporate information by reference."
This means the Company is referring you to information that has
been previously filed with the SEC and that this information
should be considered as part of the filing you are reading. The
Audit Committee Report in this proxy statement is not
incorporated by reference into any other filings with the SEC.

What are the responsibilities of the Audit
Committee?
-------------------------------------------

The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial
reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors and is
governed by its Charter as set forth in Exhibit A, hereto,
which was adopted in October of 2004. Management has the
primary responsibility for the financial statements and the
reporting process including the systems of internal controls.
In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee
reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual
Report with management, including a discussion of the
quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting
principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and
the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The
Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the
letter from the independent accountants required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed
with the independent accountants the independence of the
independent accountants. The Audit Committee also discussed
with the independent auditors the matters required to be
discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.

What are the areas of focus of the Audit Committee?
----------------------------------------------------

The Audit Committee reviews with the independent auditors,
who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the
conformity of those audited financial statements with
generally accepted accounting principles:

* the overall scope and plans for their respective audits,

* their judgments as to the quality, not just the
acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles,

* their independence from management and the Company
including matters in the written disclosures and the letter
from the independent accountants required by the Independence
Standards Board No. 1,

* and such other matters as are required to be discussed
with the committee under generally accepted auditing
standards.

The Audit Committee also pre-approves all audit and non-audit
services performed by the independent auditors. (see Audit
Committee Charter - Appendix B, for expanded list of
responsibilities)

Who are the independent members of the
Audit Committee?
----------------------------------------

Messrs. Kalleres, Coffman, and Wilson are independent audit
committee members in accordance with the listing standards of
the American Stock Exchange. Mr. DeAngelis is an Executive
Officer of the Company, and as such, is not independent.
Having Mr. DeAngelis on the committee is in the best interest
of the Company because he can provide day-to-day supervision
to the internal audit staff, he is readily available to
address issues with management, and provides independent
members insight into audit and financial matters.

What financial statements does the Audit
Committee review?
--------------------------------------------

The audit committee, as part of its Charter, reviews
quarterly with management the Company's financial statements
prior to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and discusses with the independent auditors matters required
to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.
In addition, the committee in reliance on the reviews and
discussions referred to above, has recommended to the Board
of Directors that the audited financial statements be
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2003.

Does the Company have an Audit Committee Financial Expert?
----------------------------------------------------------

The Board of Directors has determined that VADM Kalleres and
Mr. DeAngelis by virtue of their background, education, and
experience are audit committee financial experts within the
meaning of SEC rules. VADM Kalleres is independent of
management under the AMEX listing standards.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
-----------------------------------------------

On June 13, 2001, the Company issued and sold to Milford
Capital Management, Inc. and the Shaar Fund, Ltd.
(hereinafter known as "Milford/Shaar") one-year, 15% Senior
Secured Promissory Notes (the "Milford/Shaar Bridge Loan
Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. In
connection with the Milford/Shaar Bridge Loan Notes, the
Company issued to Milford/Shaar a five-year warrant for
333,334 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $0.22 per share. The Company pledged its equipment
and SET related intellectual property as collateral for the
Milford/Shaar Bridge Loan Notes.

The Company made all payments on the Milford/Shaar
Bridge Loan Notes until November 13, 2001. The Company asked
for and received a forbearance of payments on the
Milford/Shaar Bridge Loan Notes from November 13, 2001 until
December 31, 2005. In connection with the Milford/Shaar
Bridge Loan Notes, the Company issued to Milford/Shaar in
February 2004, a five-year warrant for 250,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per
share. The Shaar Fund, Ltd., through the Shaar Bridge Loan,
continues to provide cash installments on a periodic basis in
the form of additional principal. The current principal
balance of the Milford/Shaar Bridge Loan Notes is $2,648,741
as of September 30, 2004 and remains unpaid as of December
15, 2004. Additionally, as of December 15, 2004, there is
$119,073 in accumulated forbearance fees and $100,000 due in
exit fees on the Milford/Shaar Bridge Loan Notes.

On October 2, 2002, Mr. Bentley Blum, a Director of the
Company, had previously loaned the Company with $125,000 of
cash installments over the period of one year (the "Blum
Loan"). The Company elected to convert the Blum Loan to the
Company's common stock using the conversion feature of the 5-
day average closing price of the Company's common stock prior
to October 2, 2002. On October 2, 2002, Blum issued a
conversion notice for $125,000 of the outstanding principal
of the Blum Loan into 2,500,000 shares. Mr. Blum continued to
provide cash installments in the form of a loan to the
Company through February 2004 (the "Blum Demand Note"). The
Blum Demand Note bears interest at 9% per annum and has no
due date at this time. The current principal balance of the
Blum Demand Note is $312,032 as of September 30, 2004 and
remains unpaid as of December 15, 2004.

On November 19, 2003, the Company issued a warrant to
purchase 27,355,800 shares of its common stock at an exercise
price of $0.0285 per share (the closing price of our common
stock on the OTCBB on such date) to the Blum Asset Trust, a
company controlled by Bentley Blum, a Director of the
Company, in consideration for the loans made to the Company
and the usage of office space and personnel of the Blum Asset
Trust over the last five years.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNER

the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who

percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of these reports
furnished to the Company or written representations that no
other reports were required, we believe that during fiscal year

ten percent beneficial owners complied with these requirements.

INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTS

Communications are distributed to the Board, or to any
individual director or directors as appropriate, depending on

the Board should be excluded, such as:

illegal or similarly unsuitable will be excluded, with the
provision that any communication that is filtered out must be
made available to any outside director upon request.

The Board will consider properly submitted shareholder nominees
for candidates for membership on the Board of Directors.
Shareholders proposing individuals for consideration by the
Board must include at least the following information about the
proposed nominee: the proposed nominee's name, age, business or

Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the undersigned, Shelby T. Brewer, Chief
Executive Officer of Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc., a
corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, DOES HEREBY
CERTIFY,

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Commodore Applied
Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter the "Corporation").

SECOND: Pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Board of Directors of the Corporation
has duly adopted, and a majority of the outstanding stock
entitled to vote thereon and a majority of the outstanding
stock of each class entitled to vote as a class has duly
approved, the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation, as amended, set forth in this Certificate
of Amendment.

THIRD: That Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation, as amended, is amended to insert the
following paragraph immediately following the last sentence
of paragraph three:

"Upon the filing and effectiveness (the "Effective
Time") of this Certificate of Amendment with the
Delaware Secretary of State, every outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall without further action by
this Corporation or the holder thereof be combined into
and automatically become one share of Common Stock. The
number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation and the par value of the Common Stock shall
remain as set forth in this Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. No fractional
share shall be issued in connection with the foregoing
combination; all shares of Common Stock that are held by
a stockholder will be aggregated for purposes of such
combination and each stockholder shall be entitled to
receive the number of whole shares resulting from the
combination of the shares so aggregated. In lieu of any
interest in a fractional share of Common Stock to which
a stockholder would otherwise be entitled as a result of
the foregoing combination of shares: (1) the Corporation
shall, upon the surrender of such stockholder's stock
certificate(s), pay a cash amount to such stockholder
equal to the fraction to which the stockholder would
otherwise be entitled multiplied by the average of the
closing sales prices of the Common Stock (as adjusted to
reflect the combination of shares effected hereby) for
the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Effective
Time, as reported by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board
(OTCBB); provided that if such price or prices are not
available, or if the stock is no longer traded on the
Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), the fractional
share payment shall be based on such other price as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation;
or (2) the Corporation shall arrange for the disposition
of fractional interests by those otherwise entitled
thereto in the manner described below. The Board of
Directors shall determine in its sole and absolute
discretion which of the foregoing means shall be
utilized for paying to stockholders the value of the
fractional shares to which they otherwise would be
entitled. If the Corporation arranges for the
disposition of fractional interests by those entitled
thereto, the aggregate of all fractional shares
otherwise issuable to the holder of record of Common
Stock shall be issued to Registrar & Transfer Company,
the transfer agent, as agent for the accounts of all
holders of record of Common Stock otherwise entitled to
have a fraction of a share issued to them. The sale of
all of the fractional interests will be effected by the
transfer agent as soon as practicable after the
Effective Time on the basis of prevailing market prices
of the Common Stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin
Board (OTCBB) at the time of sale. After such sale and
upon the surrender of the stockholders' stock

certificates, the transfer agent will pay to the holders
of record entitled thereto their pro rata share of the
net proceeds derived from the sale of the fractional
interests."

accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General
Corporation law of the State of Delaware.

Appendix B

CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF
COMMODORE APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES

1.Purpose. The purpose of the Audit Committee (the
"Committee") shall be to (a) appoint, oversee and replace, if
necessary, the independent auditor; (b) assist the Board of
Director's oversight of (i) the preparation of the financial
statements of Commodore Applied Technologies Corporation (the
"Company"), (ii) the Company's compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent auditor's
qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of the
independent auditor; and (c) prepare the report the Securities
and Exchange Commission rules require be included in the
Company's annual proxy statement.

2.Composition of the Audit Committee. The Committee shall
consist of not less than three board members appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Company. Committee members may be
removed by the Board of Directors in its discretion. The majority
of the members of the Committee shall satisfy the independence
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-
Oxley Act") and any applicable stock exchange where the Company's
shares of common stock may be trading, as such requirements are
interpreted by the Board of Directors in its business judgment,
and the Board of Directors shall annually review the Committee's
compliance with such requirements. Members of the Committee shall
be versed in reading and understanding financial statements.

3.Meetings of the Audit Committee. The Committee shall hold
regularly scheduled meetings and such special meetings as
circumstances dictate. It shall meet separately, at least twice
annually, with management, with the personnel responsible for the
internal audit function, and with the independent auditor to
discuss results of examinations, or discuss any matters that the
Committee or any of these persons or firms believe should be
discussed privately. The Committee shall report regularly to the
Board of Directors.

4.Responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The function of the
Committee is oversight. While the Committee has the
responsibilities set forth in this charter, it is not the
responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to
determine that the Company's financial statements are complete
and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, or to assure compliance with laws,
regulations or any internal rules or policies of the Company.
This is the responsibility of management. The independent auditor
is responsible for performing independent audits of the Company's
consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and for issuing reports thereon. The
Committee has direct and sole responsibility for the appointment,
compensation, oversight and replacement, if necessary, of the
independent auditor, including the resolution of disagreements
between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting.
Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the
integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside
the Company that it receives information from and (ii) the
accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the
Committee by such persons or organizations absent actual
knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to
the Board of Directors). The duties and responsibilities of a
member of the Committee are in addition to those duties set out
for a member of the Board of Directors.

5.Duties and Proceedings of the Audit Committee. The Committee
shall assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight
responsibilities by accomplishing the following:

5.1. Oversight of Independent Auditor.

a) Annually evaluate, determine the selection of, and if
necessary, determine the replacement of or rotation of, the
independent auditor.

comfort letters and statutory audits) and all permitted non-audit
services by the auditor.
c) Review, evaluate and discuss formal reports, at least
annually, from the independent auditor regarding the auditor's
independence, including a delineation of all relationships
between the auditor and the Company; and recommend to the Board
of Directors actions to satisfy the Board of Directors of the
independence of the auditor.
d) At least annually, receive a report, orally or in writing,
from the independent auditor detailing the firm's internal
control procedures and any material issues raised by the
independent auditor's internal quality control review, peer
review or any governmental or other professional inquiry
performed within the past five years and any remedial actions
implemented by the firm.

5.2 Oversight of Audit Process and Company's Legal Compliance
Program.

a) Review with the independent auditor the overall scope and
plans for audits, including authority and organizational
reporting lines and adequacy of staffing and compensation. Review
with the independent auditor any difficulties with audits and
managements' response.
b) Review and discuss with management and the independent
auditor the Company's system of internal control, its financial
and critical accounting practices, and policies relating to risk
assessment and management.
c) Receive and review reports of the independent auditor
discussing 1) all critical accounting policies and practices to
be used in the firm's audit of the Company's financial
statements, 2) all alternative treatments of financial
information within generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") that have been discussed with management, ramifications
of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and
the treatment preferred by the independent auditor, and 3) other
material written communications between the independent auditor
and management, such as any management letter or schedule of
unadjusted differences.
d) Discuss with management and the independent auditor any
changes in the Company's critical accounting principles and the
effects of alternative GAAP methods, off-balance sheet structures
and regulatory and accounting initiatives.
e) Review and discuss with management and the independent
auditor the annual and quarterly financial statements and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations" of the Company prior to the filing of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q. Discuss results of the annual audit and quarterly
review and any other matters, including the results of the review
of internal controls and procedures, required to be communicated
to the Committee by the independent auditor under generally
accepted auditing standards. Discuss with management and the
independent auditor their judgment about the quality of
accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant
judgments, including a description of any transactions as to
which the management obtained Statement on Auditing Standards No.
50 letters, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial
statements, including the Company's disclosures of critical
accounting policies and other disclosures under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations."
f) Review material pending legal proceedings involving the
Company and other contingent liabilities.
g) Receive from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer a report of all significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls, and
any fraud that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the Company's internal controls.
h) Discuss with the independent auditor the matters required to
be communicated to audit committees in accordance with Statement
on Auditing Standards No. 61.
i) Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and
treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding
accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and
the confidential, anonymous submissions by employees of concerns
regarding questionable accounting or accounting matters.

j) Receive reports from, and make inquiries of, appropriate
officers of the Company concerning all related party
transactions, conduct appropriate review of all related party
transactions for potential conflict of interest situations and
approve all such related party transactions.

submit charter to Board of Directors for approval.
b) Prepare or cause to be prepared the report for inclusion in
the Company's annual proxy statement as required by the rules of

and approving the Company's internal transactions and accounting.

e) Annually review with the independent auditors the
performance of the Committee, the results of which review shall
be presented to the Board of Directors.
f) Perform any other activities consistent with the Charter, By-
laws and governing law as the Board of Directors or the Committee
shall deem appropriate, including holding meetings with the
Company's investment bankers and financial analysts.

6 Authority and Resources of the Audit Committee. The
Committee has the authority to retain legal, accounting or other
experts that it determines to be necessary to carry out its
duties. It also has authority to determine compensation for such
advisors as well as for the independent auditor. The Committee
may determine appropriate funding needs for its own ordinary
administrative expenses that are necessary and appropriate to
carrying out its duties.
