ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that all
directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company shall be entitled to be
indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
Certificate of Incorporation also provides as follows:
The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the
same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify all directors, officers,
employees, and agents of the corporation whom it shall have power to indemnify
thereunder from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities, or other
matters referred to therein or covered thereby.
Such right to indemnification or advancement of expenses shall continue as
to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent of the
corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executives, and
administrators of such persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or of disinterested directors or otherwise. The
corporation shall have the right to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
its directors, officers, and employees or agents to the full extent permitted by
the Act, as the same may be amended or supplemented.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the
opinion of the 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director officer or
controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.

ITEM 10. 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;
(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed t hat
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed 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; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered the rein, 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.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of t he Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Ex change Act
of 1934) 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
of 1933 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 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceab1e. 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 act ion, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement, to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of La Jolla, California on the 3rd day of December,

part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.
To the extent that a Stock Option expires or is otherwise terminated
without being exercised, such shares shall again be available for issuance in
connection with future awards under the Plan. If any shares of Stock have been
pledged as collateral for indebtedness incurred by a Participant in connection
with the exercise of a Stock Option and such shares are returned to the Company

issuance in connection with future awards under the Plan. To the extent that a
Participant is eligible to use, and uses, shares of Stock to exercise a Stock

affecting the Stock, an appropriate substitution or adjustment shall be made in
the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan as may be
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Any other
substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion. In connection with any event described
in this paragraph, the Administrator may provide, in its discretion, for the
cancellation of any outstanding awards and payment in cash or other property
therefor.
Section 4. Eligibility.
- -------------------------
Officers (including officers who are directors of the Company), directors,
employees of the Company, and advisors to the Company who are responsible for or
contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the business of the
Company shall be eligible to be granted Stock Options. The Participants under
the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, from among the Eligible Employees, consultants and advisors to the
Company recommended by the senior management of the Company, and the
Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares
covered by each award.
Section 5. Stock Options.
- ----------------------------
Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Administrator may from time to time approve, and the provisions of Stock Option
awards need not be the same with respect to each optionee. Recipients of Stock
Options shall enter into a subscription and/or award agreement with the Company,
in such form as the Administrator shall determine which agreement shall set
forth, among other things, the exercise price of the option, the term of the
option and provisions regarding exercisability of the option granted thereunder.
The Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i)
Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options.
The Administrator shall have the authority to grant any Eligible Employee
Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock
Options. Consultants and advisors may only be granted Non-Qualified Stock
Options. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option. More
than one option may be granted to the same optionee and be outstanding
concurrently hereunder.
Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem
desirable:
(1) Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a
Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at
the time of grant but shall not, (i) in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options,
be less than 75% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, and (ii) in
any event, be less than the par value of the Stock. If an employee owns or is
deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section
425(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent Corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is
granted to such employee, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option (to
the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110%
of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Incentive Stock Option is
granted.
(2) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years
after the date such Stock Option is granted; provided, however that if an
employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section
425(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent Corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is
granted to such employee, the term of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent
required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no more than five years from
the date of grant.
(3) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or
times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the
Administrator at or after grant. The Administrator may provide, in its
discretion, that any Stock Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and
the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time in
whole or in part based on such factors as the Administrator may determine, in
its sole discretion.
(4) Method of Exercise. Subject to Section 5(3) above, Stock Options may
be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving
written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be
purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price in cash or in
such other form of consideration as is set forth in the related Stock Option
agreement as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be
made in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the optionee; provided,
however, that the right to make payment in the form of already own ed shares may
be authorized only at the time of grant. An optionee shall generally have the
rights to dividends and any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Stock subject to the option only after the optionee has given written notice of
exercise, has paid in full for such shares, and, if requested, has given the
representation described in paragraph (1) of Section 10.
The Administrator may require the voluntary surrender of all or a portion
of any Stock Option granted under the Plan as a condition precedent to the grant
of a new Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Stock
Option shall be exercisable at the price, during such period and on such other
terms and conditions as are specified by the Administrator at the time the new
Stock Option is granted. Upon their surrender, Stock Options shall be canceled
and the shares previously subject to such canceled Stock Options shall again be
available for grants of Stock Options and other awards hereunder.
(5) Loans. The Company may make loans available to Stock Option holders
in connection with the exercise of outstanding options granted under the Plan,
as the Administrator, in its discretion, may determine; provided, however, that
the right to make payment in the form of loans may be authorized only at the
time of grant and the terms of such loans shall be specified in the related
Stock Option agreement. Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by promissory notes
entered into by the Stock Option holders in favor of the Company, (ii) be
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5(5) and such
other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Administrator
shall determine, (iii) bear interest, if any, at such rate as the Administrator
shall determine, and (iv) be subject to Board approval (or to approval by the
Administrator to the extent the Board may delegate such authority). In no event
may the principal amount of any such loan exceed the sum of (x) the exercise
price less the-par value of the shares of Stock covered by the option, or
portion thereof, exercised by the holder, and (y) any federal, state, and local
income tax attributable to such exercise. The initial term of the loan, the
schedule of payments of principal and interest (if any) under the loan, the
extent to which the loan is to be with or without recourse against the holder
with respect to principal or interest and the conditions upon which the loan
will become payable in the event of the holder's termination of employment shall
be determined by the Administrator. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, when a loan is made, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value at
least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by the holder
to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan, and
such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement, the terms of which shall
be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion; provided, however, that
each loan shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any other governmental
agency having jurisdiction.
(6) Non-Transferability of Options. Unless otherwise determined by the
Administrator, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee, and all
Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee's lifetime only by the
optionee.
(7) Termination of Employment or Service. If an optionee' s employment
with or service as a director of or consultant or advisor to the Company
terminates by reason of death, Disability or for any other reason, the Stock
Option may thereafter be exercised to the extent provided in the applicable
subscription or award agreement, or as otherwise determined by the
Administrator.
(8) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incentive Stock
Option is granted) of shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options granted to an Optionee under this Plan and all other option plans of the
Company or its Parent Corporation become exercisable for the first time by the
Optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options shall be
treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.
Section 6. Amendment and Termination.
- -----------------------------------------
The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a
Participant under any award theretofore granted without such Participant's
consent.
The Administrator may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 3 above, no such
amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without his or her consent.
Section 7. Unfunded Status of Plan.
- ----------------------------------------
The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the
Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights
that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.
Section 8. General Provisions.
- ---------------------------------
(1) The Administrator may require each person purchasing shares pursuant
to a Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that
such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. The
certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Administrator
deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then
listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the
Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
(2) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting
other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval
if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally
applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of the Plan shall
not confer upon any employee, director, consultant or advisor of the Company any
right to continued employment or service with the Company, as the case may be,
nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the
employment or service of any of its employees, directors, consultants or
advisors at any time.
(3) Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value
of an award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for
federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federa1, state, or
local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the
award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on

RE: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of shares of your Common Stock
(the "Shares") issued or issuable upon the exercise of options granted under the
Interspace Enterprises, Inc. 2001-2002 Consultants Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") referred to therein. As your counsel in connection with this
transaction, I have examined the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by
you in connection with the issuance of the Shares.
It is my opinion that the Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance
with the terms of the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.
I further consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendment thereto.
Very truly yours,
