                           [SMARTGATE INC. LETTERHEAD]

January 16 2002

Mr. Frank N. Hawkins, Jr.
Chairman and CEO
Hawk Associates, Inc.
204 Ocean Drive
Tavernier, Florida 33070

Dear Frank:

        This is to confirm that SmartGate Inc. accepts your proposal whereby you
will provide a full service program of appropriate investor relations and
financial public relations support for SmartGate Inc. The initial 6 1/2 month
agreement will be for the period beginning January 16, 2002 and ending July 30,
2002 ("Initial Period"); provided however, SmartGate Inc. shall have the right
to terminate this agreement at any time during the Initial Period upon ten days
notice if SmartGate Inc., in its reasonable judgment, determines that Hawk
Associates Inc.: is not putting forth a reasonable commercial effort on behalf
of SmartGate Inc.; or is not acting with appropriate integrity; or is not
following SmartGate Inc.'s instructions. Following the Initial Period, the
relationship between SmartGate Inc. and Hawk Associates Inc. will be an
open-ended 30-day notice agreement and either party shall have the right to
terminate this agreement with 30 days notice.

        During the term of this engagement and until this engagement is
terminated as provided herein, SmartGate Inc. agrees to pay Hawk Associates
Inc. a retainer fee of $6,600 per month, paid monthly at the beginning of each
month. An initial retainer for the last two weeks of January 2002 (and basic
expenses for those two weeks), and for the month of February 2002 (and basic
expenses for that month) shall be paid upon the signing of this letter of
engagement.

        In addition, Hawk Associates Inc. will be granted an option to purchase
50,000 shares of SmartGate Inc. common stock at $7.25 per share which is the
current trading price of the stock on today's date ("Option"). The Option may be
exercised for a period of seven years from today's date. The Option is subject
to a vesting schedule over a 24-month period from today's date where 6,250
shares shall be released and become eligible for purchase at the end of each
quarterly (i.e. three-month) period during the 24-month vesting term provided
this engagement has remained in effect at the end of the quarterly period then
in effect as set forth below ("Vesting Condition"); to wit:

    -   the first 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on April
        15, 2002 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on July
        l5, 2002 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on October
        15, 2002 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on January
        15, 2003 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on April
        15, 2003 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on July
        15, 2003 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on October
        15, 2003 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

    -   the next 6,250 shares would vest and be eligible for purchase on January
        15, 2004 if the Vesting Condition was met for that quarter;

        All other terms and conditions of the Option will be set forth in the
formal option agreement. The Option and vesting schedule thereunder shall have
no effect upon (nor alter) SmartGate Inc.'s early termination rights during the
Initial Period or upon (nor alter) this being an open-ended 30-day notice
agreement following the Initial Period and each party having the right
thereafter to terminate this engagement relationship with 30 days notice. If
this engagement is terminated by either party during the Option's vesting
period, Hawk Associates Inc. will be entitled, under the Option, to purchase
only those shares that have vested through the date of termination.

        Normal out-of-pocket operating expenses incurred by Hawk Associates Inc.
on behalf of SmartGate Inc. will be billed together with the monthly retainer.
Routine costs for telephones, postage, faxes, printing and FedEx packages, which
are invoiced in aggregate, will run $400 per month. Printing and postage/mailing
costs associated with major mail-outs or any fulfillment program as well as
travel costs will be additional.

        Third party vendor expenses such as design fees, printing costs and
related materials, database acquisitions, PR Newswire fees, conference calls and
special promotions will be billed directly to SmartGate Inc. by the vendors. It
is mutually agreed that Hawk Associates Inc. will not benefit financially from a
markup of these services.

                             CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

        This CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into on this 9th
day of February 2000 by and between SmartGate, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Pubco"), SmartGate, L.C., a Florida Limited Liability Company ("SmartGate"),
and shareholders of SmartGate listed on the signature pages hereto, being the
only shareholders of SmartGate (the "SmartGate Shareholders, SmartGate
Stockholders or SmartGate Members") and who are joining this Agreement only for
purposes of Section 1, 2, 3, 9.2 and 10.7 as of the date this Agreement is
executed.

                                  INTRODUCTION

        The transaction contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be an
integral part of a "tax free" contribution of property under Section 351 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. As a single consolidated transaction,
Pubco will simultaneously exchange shares of its stock (the "Pubco Stock") for
100% of the outstanding stock of SmartGate and $1,187,000 of capital. The
acquisition by Pubco of SmartGate is contingent upon, simultaneous with and
indivisible from Pubco's acquisition of $1,187,000 of capital; likewise,
Pubco's acquisition of $1,187,000 of capital is contingent upon,
simultaneous with and indivisible from Pubco's acquisition of SmartGate. As a
result of this transaction, Pubco shall issue capital stock of Pubco in exchange
for said property representing more than 80% of the Pubco stock outstanding
immediately after closing.

                                    AGREEMENT

                                    SECTION 1

                                     GENERAL

        Issuance of shares of Pubco shall be part of a single consolidated
transaction which has two integral components, each of which will close
simultaneously, will be contingent upon each other and will be indivisible from
each other. The two components of this transaction are: (i) the SmartGate
Stockholders, as of the date of closing as such term is defined in Section 3
hereof (the "Closing" or the "Closing Date") shall contribute to Pubco at
Closing certificates representing 100% of the outstanding shares of SmartGate.
The transfer of SmartGate shares shall be made free and clear of al liens,
mortgages, prejudices, encumbrances or charges, whether disclosed or undisclosed
except as the SmartGate shareholders and Pubco shareholders have otherwise
agreed in writing. The SmartGate shareholders shall receive approximately
7,743,548 shares of Pubco stock representing no less than 74% of the outstanding
capital stock of Pubco immediately after Closing in exchange for the delivery of
said property; and (ii) suitable and sophisticated parties shall contribute a
minimal $1,187,000 to Pubco in the form of cash in exchange for
approximately 657,952 shares of capital stock of Pubco which will be outstanding
immediately after Closing. The contribution of SmartGate Shares for Pubco shares
shall be governed by this Agreement while the contribution of $1,187,000 for
Pubco shares shall be governed by the private placement memorandum and separate
subscription agreements which are expressly incorporated into this Agreement and
which are expressly made a part of this Agreement. Accordingly, after the
conclusion of the transaction, Pubco shall, in exchange for the foregoing
described property (i.e. 100% of the outstanding stock of SmartGate and
$1,187,000 in cash investment), issue stock representing more than 80% of the
capital stock of Pubco immediately after Closing. The shareholders of Pubco not
participating in this transaction

<PAGE>

shall hold less than 20% of the capital of Pubco immediately after closing. All
shareholders of Pubco, immediately following closing of this Agreement, shall be
set forth on Schedule 1.

                                    SECTION 2

                    CONTRIBUTION OF SMARTGATE FOR PUBCO STOCK

                 2.1    Issuance and Delivery of Pubco Stock. Subject to the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Closing, Pubco shall
acquire from the SmartGate Shareholders, and each SmartGate Shareholder, shall
contribute to Pubco, that number of shares of SmartGate Stock set forth on
Schedule 4.2. Subject to the provisions below regarding fractional shares, as
consideration for the transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the
SmartGate Stock hereunder, at the Closing, Pubco shall issue to SmartGate
Shareholders that number of shares of Pubco reflected on Schedule 4.2,
representing approximately 7,743,548 shares of Pubco Common Stock which shall
represent not less than 74% of the outstanding Common Stock of Pubco immediately
following the Closing of this Agreement (hereafter referred to as the "Exchange
Transaction").

                 2.2    Issuance of Pubco Options. As further consideration for
this transaction Pubco shall, at closing, issue options of Pubco in the amount
and terms set forth on Schedule 4.2 to replace the outstanding options of
SmartGate which represents 491,191 shares at an exercise price per share of

confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and who are directed by
such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Each party will be
responsible for any material breach of this Agreement by its representatives.

                  10.3.2   As used herein "Confidential Information" means all
information included in the due diligence booklets delivered by SmartGate to
Pubco pursuant to the memorandum of understanding and all information provided
by SmartGate to Pubco after the date hereof that is not specifically
identified and marked "NOT CONFIDENTIAL" by SmartGate and not otherwise in the
public domain or generally available to the public and this Agreement shall be
inoperative as to such portions of the Confidential Information which (i)
become generally available to the public other than as a result of a
disclosure by the receiving party or its representatives which is not required
by law; (ii) become available to the receiving party from a source with no
obligation of confidentiality to the other party; (iii) describe technology
independently developed by the receiving party; or (iv) are known to the
receiving party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the
receiving party by the supplying party or one of its representatives.

                  10.3.3   In the event that a receiving party or any of its
representatives is required or becomes legally compelled (by written or oral
interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to
disclose any of the Confidential Information for purposes not permitted by
this Agreement, the receiving party will provide the supplying party with
prompt written notice so that the supplying party may seek a protective order
or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained, or that the supplying party waives compliance with the provisions of
this Agreement, the receiving party will furnish only that portion of the
Confidential Information which is legally required, and will exercise good
faith efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded the Confidential Information.

                  10.3.4   Each party to this Agreement agrees that the other
party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific
performance, in the event of any breach of the provisions of this Section 10.3.
Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a
breach of this Section 10.3 by either party or its representatives but shall
be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

                  10.3.5   It is further understood and agreed that no failure
or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Section 10.3 shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder.

         10.4     Publicity. Pubco shall not without prior written consent of
SmartGate publish any press releases or disseminate any news regarding this
Agreement or transaction contemplated herein prior to closing unless required
to do so by law.

stock unless such reverse split is required by the underwriters in a

the various factors deemed relevant by the Board affecting the Company's
trading market and the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Directors after closing.

         10.9     Insurance. At closing Pubco will exercise its best efforts
to have D&O insurance in place.

         10.10    Amendment to Articles. To the extent necessary, Pubco will
amend its articles of incorporation and its Bylaws so that the indemnification
provided to Officers and directors is to the broadest interpretation available
under the Laws of Nevada

         10.11    Loan in Recognition of Tax Liability. In the event
shareholders of SmartGate experience income tax liabilities relating to
recapture or other tax issues as part of this transaction, Pubco shall make a
loan bearing interest at the prevailing Applicable Federal Rate ("AFR") to
SmartGate Stock Holders requesting same in an amount equal to the calculated
amount of said income tax liability. Unless otherwise agreed by Pubco, said
loans to all SmartGate Stock Holders shall not in the aggregate exceed
$200,000 with interest being paid annually or as otherwise agreed and
principal being repaid at the first to occur of five years from the date of
Closing or the sale of shares pursuant to Section 10.7 in sufficient amount to
repay said loan.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders
Torik Corporation
(A Company in the Development Stage)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Torik Corporation (a Company
in the Development Stage) as of March 31, 1999, and the related statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from
inception (July 9, 1998) through March 31, 1999. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based upon our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Torik Corporation (a Company in the
Development Stage) as of March 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the period from inception (July 9, 1998) through March 31,
1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations that raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 4. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

                      (A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Torik Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on
July 9, 1998 and had no previous operations. Activities through March 31, 1999
include organization of the Company and the raising of equity capital. The
Company intends to complete detailed impact analysis on corporate information
systems to verify if the system will have date-related failures in the year
2000.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Net loss per share of common stock is based on weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

NOTE 2 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company has the authority to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock $0.001
par value. The Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to one founder
for $1,500 and 1,000,000 shares of common stock to other shareholders for
$10,000 in August, 1998. The Company issued 31,000 shares of common stock in
connection with a private offering for $1,550 in August, 1998.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the period ended March 31, 1999, the Company paid $5,750 in office expenses
and $4,950 in management and consulting fees to its original founding
shareholder and an affiliate of this shareholder.

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises a
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the Company
attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital.
Management's plans in this regard is to raise additional capital through an
equity offering. The financial statements do not include any adjustment
relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company discontinue operations.
