incurred by an indemnified Person (including, but not limited to, attorneys'
fees and other expenses of litigation) and all liabilities and losses
(including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA or other excise taxes

of the issuance of the securities covered by this Registration Statement.
4
Counsel also treats the following facts: the Attorney Disclosure and Special
Relationship Agreement is not a qualified plan of any kind or sort. Receipt of
the Securities covered by this Registration Statement will be treated as the
equivalent of cash received for services as ordinary income. The Securities are
issued in compensation for services at the rate of $0.50 per share per $0.50 of
services performed.
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: (i) To include any
prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.(ii) To
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. (iii) 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; Provided, however, that paragraph
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d)
of 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 therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bonafide offering thereof.
(3) To remove 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 filling of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the 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 Exchange 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 herein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is
sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is
incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and
meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and, where interim financial information required to
be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the
prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is
specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such
interim financial information.
(h) 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 provision described in Item 6, 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, unenforceable. In the
5
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other that
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by the director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceedings) 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 or amendment thereto to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized , in Dallas, State of Texas, August 30, 2000.

ATTORNEY AT LAW
THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between Intrepid International, Ltd., a Nevada
Corporation, (hereafter Intrepid ), and Desert Springs Acquisitions Corp a
Colorado Corporation, (hereafter Intrepid-Client ), and Karl E. Rodriguez, Exim
International, Inc.'s General Counsel, and dated April 22, 1998 . In
consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and on the terms and
conditions herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
A. SUMMARY.

to perform certain financial services to Client, some of which services are to
be provided for Client, and in the Client's name, by attorneys with established
and continuing relationship to Intrepid. The purpose of this agreement is to
provide full written disclosure, and to define special character of both the
ostensible and actual relationships between the parties.
Karl E. Rodriguez is actually General Counsel of Exim International, Inc.
Karl E. Rodriguez will be authorized by this agreement to act as ostensible
Special Securities Counsel for Desert Springs Acquisitions Corp.
A. RECITALS
1. INTREPID RETAINER AGREEMENT. Intrepid International, Ltd. is or
will be hereby retained as financial services consultants for the
Intrepid-Client, pursuant to that certain Financial Services Consulting
Agreement of even date herewith. Among the services contemplated to be provided
by that Agreement are the services of Karl E. Rodriguez, attorney at law, as
Special Securities Counsel for the Intrepid-Client.
2. EXIM INTERNATIONAL, INC., is a financial consulting firm, not a broker,
dealer or registered investment advisor, a principal consultant to Intrepid
International, Ltd.
3. EXIM GENERAL COUNSEL. Karl E. Rodriguez, attorney at law, is General
Counsel to Intrepid's Consultant, Exim International, Inc., first and foremost
and always, and this paramount status and relationship has been and is hereby
fully disclosed, in connection with the Intrepid-Client's consideration of the
potential services of Karl E. Rodriguez as Special Counsel with Limited
Authority, in connection with, and only in connection with the services
requested and agreed to between Intrepid and the Intrepid-Client.
4. DEFINITION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL WITH LIMITED AUTHORITY . As used in this
Attorney Disclosure Agreement, this expression shall have the following meaning,
consistently and without exception: Exim General Counsel Karl E. Rodriguez is
authorized, where appropriate to employ the designation Special Counsel or
Special Securities Counsel for the Intrepid-Client, in connection with, and
only in connection with services to and for the Intrepid-Client requested by the
8
Intrepid-Client to be performed by Intrepid pursuant to the Financial Services
Consulting Agreement of even date herewith. Exim General Counsel, Karl E.
Rodriguez as between such Counsel and the Intrepid-Client, is not
Intrepid-Client's Counsel, nor counsel to the Intrepid-Client generally, or in
any other manner than specified in this definition. Special Counsel will not
take action which is not authorized by the Intrepid-Client nor represent to any
person any general authority to speak for or bind the Intrepid-Client in any
manner.
5. INTREPID-CLIENT'S RIGHT TO DECLINE THE RELATIONSHIP. The
Intrepid-Client has been informed, and is informed hereby, that the
Intrepid-Client is not required to join in the special relationship disclosed
and defined herein. Intrepid-Client may employ or require its own counsel or
independent counsel for any and all purposes at its expense and in addition to
its obligations to Intrepid. The Intrepid-Client is advised to retain its own
counsel, as it may deem appropriate, to review and advise the Intrepid-Client as
to any matter arising from its relationship to Intrepid or Exim's Counsel.
6. MANAGEMENT'S PREFERENCE. It is the desire of sophisticated management
that the unnecessary expense of cumulative counsel with respect to purely
technical matters is not warranted, necessary or appropriate, with respect to
the limited authority and scope of the Special Counsel relationship, as defined,
and that no conflict of interest exists or is likely to arise from the strict
and precise observance of that relationship as defined. Accordingly management
understands, accepts and affirmatively requests such an arrangement.
A. SPECIAL COUNSEL AGREEMENT
1. SPECIAL COUNSEL. The Intrepid-Client and Intrepid Counsel hereby agree
and adopt that special technical relationship of Special Counsel with Limited
Authority as defined hereinabove, for the sole and separate purpose of allowing
Intrepid Counsel to perform services appropriate to the services of Intrepid
requested by the Intrepid-Client.
2. BILLINGS. Special Counsel (Intrepid's Counsel) shall invoice and bill
applicable time and services to Intrepid, separately with respect to matters
applicable to this Intrepid-Client. Time shall be billable at $250.00/hr, and
such incidental secretarial services shall be billable at $85.00/hr, as may be
reasonably and necessarily performed by its secretary. Additional services may
be performed by subcontractor attorneys, subject to arrangements approved by the
Intrepid-Client in advance. Intrepid shall be responsible, as between Intrepid
and its counsel, for the compensation and discharge of its Counsel's billings.
Intrepid shall include Counsel's segregated billings along with its own, and, as
between Intrepid and the Intrepid-Client, the Intrepid-Client shall be
responsible to Intrepid for the total of its own and Counsel's billings.
3. TERMINATION. The terms of this agreement may be terminate by either
Intrepid-Client or Special Counsel at any time upon written or other reasonable
notice to the other.
9
4. MISCELLANEOUS This agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions,
agreements and understandings, if any, of any and every kind and nature, between
them. This agreement is made and shall be construed and interpreted according to
the laws of the Intrepid-Client's place of Incorporation if that be Nevada or
Texas, and if not, pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada.
ACCORDINGLY the parties cause this agreement to be signed by their duly
authorized representative, as of the date written below.
Intrepid International, Ltd.

re: Opinion of Special Counsel
Dear Gentlemen:
You have requested my Opinion in connection with the filing of a 1933 Act
Registration on Form S-8 to compensate consultants in the amount of $730,000 in
the form of 1,460,000 shares of common stock to be registered thereby.
I am familiar with the history and current capitalization of the Issuer,
its reporting status, and good standing with its place of incorporation. The
Issuer's Common Stock is Registered pursuant to 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
It is my opinion that the securities proposed to be issued may be validly
and properly issued and that such an issuance would be lawful in all respects.
Neither the Attorney Disclosure and Special Relationship Agreement nor any other
agreements in connection with the provision of services are qualified plans
of any kind or sort and are not qualified for any special tax treatment under
State or Federal Law. If and when issued, the securities would be and must be
treated as the equivalent of cash paid and received back as the purchase of
securities. The Securities would be issued in compensation for services at the
rate of $0.50 per share for $0.50 of services performed. These services were
earned and the legal and consulting services were duly rendered pursuant to the
respective agreements, and none of the services billed or performed by legal
counsel or consultants were direct or indirect commissions or compensation for
raising funds for the Issuer.
It is accordingly my opinion that the issuance requested is entitled to
registration on Form S-8.
I understand and consent to the use of this Opinion in connection with your
proposed filing of a 1933 Registration Statement on Form S-8.
Very Truly Yours,
/s/William Stocker
