this 1st day of  January  2002 by and  between  Altair  International  Inc.,  an
Ontario  corporation (the "Company"),  and Irvine Management  Consulting Inc., a
California  corporation  ("Consultant";   collectively  with  the  Company,  the
"Parties").

         In  consideration of the mutual promises made herein and for other good
and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt and  sufficiency  of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.   Purpose:  The  Company  hereby  engages  Consultant  for the  term
specified in  Paragraph 2 hereto to render  corporate  advisory  services to the
Company upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         2.   Term: Nonexclusive Nature of Services; and Termination. Subject to
earlier  termination  as provided  below,  the term of this  Agreement is twelve
months from the date hereof (the "Term").  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  this
Agreement may be terminated  with or without cause at any time by the Company or
Consultant  upon no fewer  than 48  hours  written  notice.  This  Agreement  is
non-exclusive on the part of both Parties.

         3.   Duties  of  Consultant:   During  the  term  of  this   Agreement,
Consultant  shall,  upon the request of the  Company,  provide the Company  with
advice regarding  strategic  business  planning,  potential  acquisitions by the
Company,  corporate finances (other than capital raising) and general marketing.
Consultant  shall devote such time and effort to the  performance  of its duties
hereunder as it shall determine is reasonably necessary.  Consultant may look to
such others for such factual  information  and  research  upon which to base its
advice to the Company hereunder, as Consultant shall deem appropriate.

         4.   Compensation:  In  consideration  for  the  services  rendered  by
Consultant, the Company shall pay Consultant an initial payment of $10,000 on or
before  January  10,  2002.  In  addition,  the Company  shall grant  Consultant
warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the  "Warrants") with respect
to 200,000  common shares of the Company.  The Warrants and any common shares of
the Company issuable thereunder are hereinafter referred to as the "Securities."

         5.   Expenses  of  Consultant:  Consultant  shall  pay  all of its  own
expenses in connection with the services provided hereunder.

         6.   Liability of Consultant: In furnishing the Company with advice and
other services as herein provided,  neither Consultant nor any officer, director
or agent of  Consultant  shall be liable to the  Company  or its  creditors  for
errors of judgment of  Consultant  in the  performance  of its duties under this
Agreement,  provided,  however, that Consultant agrees to indemnify and hold the
Company harmless as provided in Section 8.

              (a) It is further  understood and agreed that  Consultant may rely
upon  information  furnished  to it by the  Company  and that,  except as herein
provided,  Consultant  shall not be  accountable  for any loss  suffered  by the
Company  by  reason of the  Company's  action  or  inaction  on the basis of any
advice,  recommendation  or approval of Consultant or its  respective  partners,
employees or agents.

              (b) The Company acknowledges that all opinions and advice (written
or oral) given by Consultant to the Company in connection  with this  engagement
are intended  solely for the benefit and use of the Company in  considering  the
transaction  to which they  relate,  and the  Company  agrees  that no person or
entity other than the Company  shall be entitled to make use of or rely upon the
advice of Consultant to be given hereunder,  and no such opinion or advice shall
be used for any other purpose or reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to
at any time,  in any manner or for any  purpose,  nor may the  Company  make any
public references to Consultant,  or use Consultant's name in any annual reports
or any other  reports or  releases  of the Company  without  Consultant's  prior
written  consent or as otherwise  required by law or judicial or  administrative
process.

              (c) The Company  acknowledges  that Consultant is not a registered
broker/dealer  and  therefore,  Consultant  will not,  under any  circumstances,
perform any of the following services for the Company:

                  (1)  Make offers or sales of securities;

                  (2)  Prepare research reports;

                  (3)  Directly or  indirectly  promote or maintain a market for
                       the Company's common shares;

                  (4)  Facilitate  the  offer  or sale of  securities  or make a
                       market in any securities;

                  (5)  Negotiate for the offer or sale of securities; or

                  (6)  Any other transaction or activity requiring broker/dealer
                       registration.

Consultant  covenants and agrees that it shall not, and is not being  compensate
for providing, any of the aforementioned services to the Company.

              (d)  The  Company  further   recognizes  and   acknowledges   that
Consultant is not a registered  investment advisor,  does not hold itself out as
an  investment  advisor,  and,  as of the date of this  Agreement,  has no other
clients to whom it renders advisory services

         8.   Company Information:

              (a) The Company shall furnish to Consultant all data, material and
other  information  relevant to the performance by Consultant of its obligations
under this Agreement, or particular projects as to which Consultant is acting as
advisor,  which will permit  Consultant to be appraised of all facts material to
the advice to be  rendered,  and all data,  material or  information  reasonably
requested by Consultant.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that in performing
its services under this engagement,  Consultant may rely upon the data, material
and other information  supplied by the Company without  independently  verifying
the  accuracy,  completeness  or veracity of same. In the event that the Company
fails or refuses to furnish any such data,  material or  information  reasonably
requested by Consultant,  and thus prevents or impedes Consultant's  performance
hereunder,  any  inability of Consultant to perform shall not be a breach of its
obligations hereunder.

              (b) Except as  contemplated  by the terms hereof or as required by
applicable law,  Consultant shall keep  confidential all non-public  information
provided to it by the Company and shall not  disclose  such  information  to any
third party or use such information for the benefit of any person other than the
Company  without  the  Company's  prior  written  consent.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Consultant  shall not be required to maintain  confidentiality  with
respect to information  (i) which is or becomes part of the public domain;  (ii)
of which Consultant had independent knowledge prior to disclosure; (iii) which

                                       2
<PAGE>

comes into the possession of Consultant or its employees or agents in the normal
and  routine   course  of  its  own  business   from  and  through   independent
non-confidential  sources;  or  (iv)  which  is  required  to  be  disclosed  by
Consultant  pursuant to legal  process or in  accordance  with  governmental  or
regulatory  requirements.  If  Consultant  is  requested  or  required  (by oral
questions,  interrogatories,  requests for  information  or document  subpoenas,
civil  investigative  demands,  or similar process) to disclose any confidential
information   supplied  to  it  by  the  Company,  or  the  existence  of  other
negotiations   in  the  course  of  its   dealings   with  the  Company  or  its
representatives, Consultant shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly notify the
Company  of such  request(s)  so  that  the  Company  may  seek  an  appropriate
protective order.

         9.   Indemnification:

              (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless  Consultant,
(and the officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and controlling
persons of  Consultant)  from and against any and all losses,  claims,  damages,
liabilities,  costs and expenses (and all actions, suits,  proceedings or claims
in respect  thereof)  and any legal or other  expenses  in giving  testimony  or
furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including,  without
limitation,  the reasonable costs of  investigating,  preparing or defending any
such action,  suit,  proceeding or claim,  whether or not in connection with any
action,  suit,  proceeding or claim in which Consultant is a party), as and when
incurred, directly or indirectly,  caused by, relating to, based upon or arising
out of (a) any  information  provided  by the Company to  Consultant  under this
Agreement,  (b) the Company's  breach of any covenant or other provision in this
Agreement  or the  inaccuracy  of any  information  provided  by the  Company to
Consultant under this Agreement.

              (b)  Consultant  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
(and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and controlling
persons)  from and  against any and all losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities,
costs and expenses  (and all actions,  suits,  proceedings  or claims in respect
thereof)  and any legal or other  expenses  in giving  testimony  or  furnishing
documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise (including, without limitation,
the reasonable costs of  investigating,  preparing or defending any such action,
suit,  proceeding or claim,  whether or not in connection with any action, suit,
proceeding  or claim in which the  Company  is a party),  as and when  incurred,
directly or  indirectly,  caused by,  relating  to, based upon or arising out of
Consultant's  breach of any covenant or other provision in this Agreement or the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Consultant in this Agreement.

              (c) The obligations of the Parties under the Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

         10.  Investment Representations.  Consultant represents and warrants to
the Company as follows:

              (a) Authorization.  This Agreement constitutes  Consultant's valid
and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject
to  applicable  bankruptcy,   insolvency,   and  other  similar  laws  affecting
creditors'  rights,  and  rules  of  law  governing  specific  performance,  and
Consultant has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

              (b) Representations Not Made by Company. Consultant represents and
affirms  that  none of the  following  information  has ever  been  represented,

                                       3
<PAGE>

guaranteed  or warranted to  Consultant,  expressly  or by  implication,  by any
person:  (i) the  approximate  or exact length of time that  Consultant  will be
required to remain a security  holder of the  Company;  (ii) the  percentage  of
profit and/or amount of or type of consideration, profit or loss to be realized,
if any, as a result of an  investment in the Company;  or (iii) the  possibility
that the past  performance  or  experience  on the  part of the  Company  or any
affiliate, or any officer,  director,  employee or agent of the foregoing, might
in any way  indicate or predict the results of  ownership of any Security or the
potential success of the Company's operations.

              (c)  Purchase  for Own  Account.  Consultant  is the sole and true
party in interest,  is acquiring the Securities for  his/her/its own account for
investment,  is not  purchasing the Securities for hereby for the benefit of any
other person, and has no present intention of holding or managing the Securities
with others or of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any portion of
the  Securities.  Consultant  (i) if an  individual,  is a citizen of the United
States,  is at least 21 years of age, and is a bona fide  permanent  resident of
and is  domiciled in the state set forth below  Consultant's  name in Section 12
hereof,  (ii) if an  entity,  is duly  organized  and in  good  standing  in its
jurisdiction  of  organization  and has its  principal  place of business in the
state set forth below Consultant's name in Section 12 hereof.

              (d) Disclosure and Review of Information.  Consultant acknowledges
and represents  that he/it has received and reviewed a copy of (A) the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended,  for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
2000,  (B) the  Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter  ended
September 30, 2001, and (C) the Company's  Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the SEC on  January  4,  2002  (the  "Current  Filings")  and has  been  given a
reasonable opportunity to review all documents, books and records of the Company
pertaining  to this  investment,  and has  been  supplied  with  all  additional
information concerning the Company and the Securities that has been requested by
Consultant,  has had a reasonable  opportunity  to ask  questions of and receive
answers from the Company or its representatives  concerning this investment, and
that  all  such  questions  have  been  answered  to the  full  satisfaction  of
Consultant.  Consultant has received,  and acknowledges that he/it is receiving,
no  representations,  written  or  oral,  from  the  Company  or  its  officers,
directors,  employees,  attorneys or agents  other than those  contained in this
Agreement and the Current  Filings.  In making his/her  decision to purchase the
Securities, Consultant has relied solely upon its review of the Current Filings,
this Agreement, and independent investigations made by it or its representatives
without assistance of the Company.

              (e) Speculative Investment.  Consultant understands that (i) he/it
must  bear  the  economic  risk  of  the  investment  in the  Securities  for an
indefinite  period of time because the Warrants and the common  shares  issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants have not been registered  under the Securities Act
or  qualified  under  the  Securities  Act or the  securities  laws of any other
jurisdiction  and (ii)  his/its  investment  in the Company  represented  by the
Securities  is highly  speculative  in nature and is subject to a high degree of
risk of loss in whole or in part. Consultant has adequate means of providing for
his/her current needs and possible  contingencies,  and is able to bear the high
degree of economic risk of this investment,  including,  but not limited to, the
possibility  of the complete  loss of  Consultant's  entire  investment  and the
limited  transferability  of the  Securities,  which may make the liquidation of
this investment impossible for the indefinite future.

              (f)  Accredited  Consultant  Status.  Consultant is an "accredited
Consultant"  within the meaning of Rule 501(a)  promulgated under the Securities
Act, in that Consultant (a) is a natural person (i) whose  individual net worth,
or joint net worth with his spouse,  presently exceeds  $1,000,000,  or (ii) who

                                       4
<PAGE>

had  individual  net income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent
years or joint  income  with his spouse in excess of  $300,000  in each of those
years and has a  reasonable  expectation  of reach that same income level in the
current year, or (b) is an entity in which all of the equity owners  satisfy the
definition of accredited Consultant set forth in subsection (a).

              (g)  Investment   Experience.   Consultant  has  experience  as  a
Consultant in securities and acknowledges  that it can bear the economic risk of
its  investment  in the  Securities.  By  reason  of  Consultant's  business  or
financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional
advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or
any  affiliate  or  selling  agent  of  the  Company,  directly  or  indirectly,
Consultant has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection  with its
purchase of the  Securities.  Consultant has the financial  capacity to bear the
risk of this investment and has received from the Company all information it has
requested  and  considers  necessary  or  appropriate  for  deciding  whether to
purchase the Securities.  If an entity, Consultant has not been organized solely
for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

              (h)  Restricted   Securities.   Consultant  understands  that  the
Warrants and the common  shares  issuable  upon exercise of the Warrants are and
will be  "restricted  securities"  under the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act") inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering,  and that, under the Securities Act
and applicable  regulations  thereunder,  such  securities may be resold without
registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In
this  connection,  Consultant  represents  that he/it is familiar  with Rule 144
promulgated  under the Securities  Act, as presently in effect,  and understands
the resale  limitations  imposed thereby and by the Securities  Act.  Consultant
further  confirms and agrees that the Company is under no obligation to register
the re-sale of the Warrants or the common  shares  issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

              (i)  Legends.   Consultant   understands   that  the  certificates
evidencing the Warrants and the common shares issuable upon the exercise thereof
will bear the legend set forth below,  together with any other legends  required
by the laws of the  Province of Ontario  and any other  state or  province  with
jurisdiction:

              THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
              OF  1933,  AS  AMENDED,   OR  QUALIFIED  UNDER   APPLICABLE  STATE
              SECURITIES  LAWS AND HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR INVESTMENT  PURPOSES ONLY
              AND  NOT  WITH A VIEW  TO OR  FOR  SALE  IN  CONNECTION  WITH  ANY
              DISTRIBUTION  THEREOF.   THESE  SECURITIES  MAY  NOT  BE  SOLD  OR
              OTHERWISE  TRANSFERRED  UNLESS A REGISTRATION  STATEMENT UNDER THE
              SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  IS IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO
              SUCH SECURITIES OR THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION IN FORM AND
              SUBSTANCE  SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY PROVIDING THAT AN EXEMPTION
              FROM THE REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
              AS AMENDED, IS AVAILABLE.

         The legend set forth  above  shall be removed by the  Company  from any
certificate  evidencing  any of the  Securities  only  (i) upon  receipt  by the
Company of an opinion in form and  substance  satisfactory  to the Company  that
such legend may be removed pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act,  or  (ii)  upon  confirmation  that  a  registration  statement  under  the
Securities  Act is at that time in effect with respect to the legended  Security
and that such transfer  will not  jeopardize  the  exemption or exemptions  from
registration pursuant to which the respective Security was issued.

                                       5

performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

              2.3 Knowledge and  Experience.  Long is an officer and director of
Altair and otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that Long is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in Altair and is able to bear the economic  risks of an investment in the Shares
for an indefinite period of time.

              2.4 Risk Factors. Long undersigned  appreciates that an investment

              3.1 Restricted Securities.  The Shares have not been registered or
qualified under any federal or state securities laws in reliance upon exemptions
from the  registration  requirements  of such  laws,  and the  Shares may not be
transferred by Long except in compliance with the  registration  requirements of
such  laws  or  pursuant  to  available   exemptions  from  registration  (which
exemptions  generally  require  Long to hold the Shares for at least a period of
two  (2)  and  may  require  any  officer  or  director  to  holder  the  Shares
indefinitely).  The  offer  and sale of the  Shares  have not been  approved  or
disapproved  by the  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  or  any  state
regulatory authority, and any representation to the contrary is unlawful.

              3.2  Stock  Certificate  Legends.  The stock  certificate  for the
Shares will include the following legends:

         REGISTERED  UNDER THE SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE  SECURITIES
         LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED  STATES.  THEY MAY NOT BE  OFFERED  FOR
         SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE,  ASSIGNED,  HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE
         TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
         SUCH ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS AN EXEMPTION
         FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE (WHICH THE CORPORATION MAY REQUIRE TO BE
         EVIDENCED BY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION THAT
         SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED).

              3.3 Possession of Information. Long has participated in, and is an
integral part of, the operation of the business of Altair and, as a result,  has
or has access to all information  concerning  Altair that exists and is material
