BURNABY, BC, June 11, 2002


Have you just added auto insurance to your shopping list? Why not visit Circle K where instant shopping for passenger, motorcycle and the Mexican Automobile Tourist policy is available 24x7. Circle K patrons can now renew or apply for auto insurance coverage on ZapLink SM kiosks at selected Circle K stores in metro Phoenix, Arizona, thanks to an agreement between Public Access Insurance LLC, (PAI) a division of Instant Insurance Holdings , a leading marketer and underwriter of automobile insurance in the United States, and Info Touch Technologies Corp., North America's leading kiosk technology company, (www.infotouch.net) (IFT: TSX Venture Exchange).

Under the provisions of this agreement, PAI has selected Info Touch as to promote auto insurance services through the ZapLink SM e-service kiosk network. The companies will utilize ZapLink SM kiosks as a sales and marketing tool to offer comprehensive information on products available through Instant Auto Insurance Agency, the leading alternative distribution specialty insurance agency. The ZapLink SM kiosks will enable Circle K customers instant access to a host of real time services, including but not limited to receiving quotes, submitting both live online and Voice based inquiries (Voice Powered through the Internet i.e. VOIP), and purchasing auto insurance on the spot with cash or a major credit card.

Info Touch derives revenues in the following manner:
