PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents and information previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission by InfoSpace.com, Inc. (the "Company" or the
"Registrant") are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:
(1) the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");
(2) the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, filed pursuant to Section
13 of the Exchange Act;
(3) the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated July 15, 1999,
August 16, 1999, September 27, 1999 and October 28, 1999; and
(4) the description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated December 3, 1998, filed
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including
II-1
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. Further,
in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of the
Company to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of
such director's fiduciary duty of care in certain instances. The Restated Bylaws
(the "Restated Bylaws") of the Company provides for indemnification of certain
agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Persons covered by this indemnification include any current or former directors
and officers of the Company, as well as persons who serve at the request of the
Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another enterprise.
In addition, the Company has entered into contractual agreements with each
director and certain officers of the Company designated by the Board to
indemnify such individuals to the full extent permitted by law. These
agreements also resolve certain procedural and substantive matters that are not
covered, or are covered in less detail, in the Restated Bylaws or by the
Delaware General Corporation Law.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.

4.1 INEX Corporation Share Option Plan.
5.1 Opinion of counsel as to legality of securities being registered.
23.1 Consent of Independent Accountants.
23.2 Consent of Counsel (contained in Exhibit 5.1).
24.1 Power of Attorney (contained on signature page hereto).
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered, which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
II-2
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
