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 Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation relieves its directors from liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant may and, in certain cases, must be indemnified by the Registrant against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be not opposed to the Registrant's best interests. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Registrant, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and, in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Article Six, Section 3, and Article Ten of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provide, in general, that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; (ii) an act or omission not in good faith or an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) any liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (pertaining to unlawful payment of a dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption); or (iv) a transaction from which the director received an improper personal benefit. Article Six of the Registrant's Bylaws, provides, in general, that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers under the circumstances defined in Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and gives authority to the Registrant to purchase insurance with respect to such indemnification. The Registrant has entered into separate Indemnity Agreements with each of its directors and certain of its executive officers (each, an "Indemnitee"), under which the Registrant will, upon proper request of the Indemnitee, indemnify any Indemnitee if such Indemnitee is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any third party proceedings or proceedings by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director and/or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses, judgments, fines and penalties, actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of any of such proceedings; provided that (i) in the case of a third party proceeding, the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, in addition, that the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful, (ii) in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant, the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and in which the Indemnitee shall not have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the Indemnitee's duty to the Registrant, unless the court in which such proceeding is brought determines that the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses as such court deems proper, and (iii) in the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant, the Indemnitee is only indemnified against expenses and not against any judgment, fines or penalties. Notwithstanding the above, the Registrant shall indemnify an Indemnitee for all expenses incurred in connection with any proceedings to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful in defense of any such proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein. The Registrant will also, upon proper request of the Indemnitee, pay in advance the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in any of the above proceedings, if the Indemnitee shall undertake to repay such amounts to the extent it is determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS. The following documents are filed as Exhibits herewith pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K or are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference to previous filings with the Commission as noted. EXHIBIT NUMBER DESCRIPTION OF EXHIBIT ------ ---------------------- 4.1 Instruments Defining Rights of Shareholders. Reference is made to Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as amended, and the exhibits thereto, which are incorporated herein by reference pursuant to Item 3(c) of this Registration Statement. 5.1 Opinion of Brobeck, Phleger and Harrison, LLP regarding 850,000 shares of Common Stock 23.1 Consent of independent auditors 23.2 Consent of counsel (included in the opinion of Brobeck, Phleger and Harrison, LLP, filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1) 24.1 Power of Attorney (included on the signature page of this Registration Statement) 99.1 Intrusion.com, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan, as amended ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. 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; (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; and (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 paragraphs (1)(i) and (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 by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 that remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and (4) 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 that is incorporated by reference in this 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. 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 provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. If 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. 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 Richardson, State of Texas, on the 15th day of May, 2001.

SECTION 4 ELIGIBILITY The Committee shall select certain Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries to participate in this Plan; provided, however, that any Disinterested Directors who are serving as administrators of this Plan shall not be eligible for any Options nor shall any other person be eligible for any Options if the granting of a Option to such person would destroy the satisfaction by this Plan of the general exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of this Plan. (b) INDIVIDUAL LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Employee may be granted an Option, which in combination with other Options to such Employee under the Plan (regardless of whether such other Options have been exercised or cancelled), aggregates more then 50,000 Shares in any one year period. (c) ADDITIONAL SHARES. In the event any outstanding Option for any reason expires, is cancelled or otherwise terminates, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option shall again be available for issuance under this Plan. SECTION 6 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS (a) TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from the Date of Grant or such shorter term as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, in the case of an ISO granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder, the term of such ISO shall be five (5) years from the Date of Grant or such shorter time as may be determined by the Committee. (b) EXERCISE PRICE AND METHOD OR PAYMENT. (i) EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price shall be such price as is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however; that the Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such option on the Date of Grant (or 110% in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who is a Ten-Percent Stockholder on the Date of Grant). (ii) PAYMENT OF SHARES. Payment for the Shares upon exercise of an Option shall be made in cash, by certified check, or by any other method of payment as may be permitted under applicable law and approved by the Committee. (c) EXERCISE OF OPTION. (i) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDER. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times under such conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including without limitation, performance criteria with respect to the Company or the Optionee, and in accordance with the terms of this Plan; provided, however, that in no event shall an Option be exercisable in whole or in part prior to one year from the Date of Grant or after the expiration of ten years from the Date of Grant. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Agreement by the Optionee entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any form of consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 6(b)(ii) of this Plan. Upon the receipt of notice of exercise and full payment for the Shares, the Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and the Optionee shall be entitled to receive such Shares and shall be a stockholder with respect to such Shares, and the Shares shall be considered fully paid and nonassessable. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date on which the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 8 of this Plan. Each exercise of an Option shall reduce, by an equal number, the total number of Shares that may thereafter be purchased under such Option. (ii) TERMINATION OF STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE. Except as provided in Subsections 6(c)(iii) and 6(c)(iv) below, an Optionee holding an outstanding Option who ceases to be an Employee of the Company for any reason may exercise the Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it on such date, but only until the earlier of the date (i) the Option held by the Optionee expires, or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date such Optionee ceases to be an Employee, unless the Committee further extends such period in its sole discretion. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option on such date, or if the Optionee does not exercise it within the time specified herein, such Option shall terminate. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the date an Optionee ceases to be an Employee, and must provide to the Optionee such determination within fifteen (15) days. Leaves of absence approved by the Committee which conform to the policies of the Company shall not be considered termination of employment if the employer-employee relationship as defined under the Code otherwise continues to exist. (iii) PERMANENT AND TOTAL DISABILITY. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(c)(ii) above, in the event an Optionee is unable to continue to perform services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such Optionee's Permanent and Total Disability (and, for ISOs, at the time such Permanent and Total Disability begins, the Optionee was an Employee and had been an Employee since the Date of Grant), such Optionee may exercise an outstanding Option in whole or in part notwithstanding that such Option may not be fully exercisable, but only until the earlier of the date (i) the Option held by the Optionee expires, or (ii) twelve (12) months from the date of termination of services due to such Permanent and Total Disability. To the extent the Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, such Option shall terminate. (iv) DEATH OF AN OPTIONEE. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(c)(ii) above, upon the death of an Optionee, any outstanding Option held by an Optionee shall terminate and be of no further effect; provided, however, that if at the time of death, the Optionee was an Employee (and, for ISOs, at the time of death, the Optionee was an Employee and had been an Employee since the Date of Grant), the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, notwithstanding that such Option may not have been fully exercisable on the date of the Optionee's death, but only until the earlier of the date (i) the Option held by the Optionee expires, or (ii) twelve (12) months from the date of the Optionee's death. To the extent the Option is not entitled to be exercised on such date or if the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, such Option shall terminate. (d) NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Any Option granted under this Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, and is nonassignable by operation of law or subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any Option granted under this Plan can only be exercised during the Optionee's lifetime by such Optionee. Any attempted sale, pledge, assignment, hypothecation or other transfer of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof and the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option shall be null and void and without force or effect. No transfer of the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished written notice thereof and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions of the Option. The terms of any Option transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee. (e) TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS. Any Option granted hereunder shall be deemed to be granted on the Date of Grant. Written notice of the Committee's determination to grant an Option to an Employee, evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement, dated as of the Date of Grant, shall be given to such Employee within a reasonable time after the Date of Grant. Any ISO granted hereunder must be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date this Plan in adopted or the date this Plan in approved by the stockholders of the Company. (f) MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS. Within the limitations of this Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (to the extent not previously exercised) for the granting of new Options in substitution therefor. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair the Optionee's rights or obligations under such Option. (g) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such rights of repurchase and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement. (h) SPECIAL LIMITATION ON ISOS. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the Date of Grant) of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under this Plan, and under all other plans maintained by the Company, exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Options that are not ISOs. SECTION 7 ISSUANCE OF SHARES As a condition to the issuance or transfer of any Shares issued under this Plan, the Company may require an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer will not be in violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable securities laws, rules or regulations, or that such Shares have been registered under federal and all applicable state securities laws. The Company may refrain from delivering or transferring Shares issued under this Plan until the Committee has determined that the Optionee has tendered to the Company any and all applicable federal, state or local tax owed by the Optionee as the result of the receipt of a Option, the exercise of an Option or the disposition of any Shares issued under this Plan, in the event that the Company reasonably determines that it might have a legal liability to satisfy such tax. The Company shall not be liable to any person or entity for damages due to any delay in the delivery or issuance of any stock certificate evidencing any Shares for any reason whatsoever. SECTION 8 CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS; MERGER; CHANGE IN CONTROL (a) ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option, the aggregate number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under this Plan, and the Exercise Price of any outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, payment of a stock dividend with respect to the Stock, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of the Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion, which adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option. (b) DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION, SALE OF ASSETS OR MERGER. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the proposed merger of the Company with or into another corporation, any Options shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee; provided, however, that the Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, in such instances declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each Optionee the right to exercise the Optionee's Option as to all or any part of the Shares covered by such Option, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. (c) CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding Section 8(b), in the event there occurs a Change in Control, the Committee may at its discretion permit the Optionees to exercise any outstanding Option held by such Optionee in whole or in part notwithstanding that such Option may not be fully exercisable. SECTION 9 NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS No provision of this Plan or under any Stock Option Agreement shall be construed to give any individual any right to remain an Employee of, or provide services to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to affect the right of the Company or any subsidiary, as applicable, to terminate any individual's service at any time, with or without cause. SECTION 10 SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL (a) IN GENERAL. If this Plan is adopted by action of the Board of Directors prior to approval by the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors, to continue and implement this Plan, shall submit this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for their approval. This Plan shall not become effective until such approval has been obtained. (b) AMENDMENTS. With respect to any amendment to this Plan adopted by the Committee that is required to be approved by the Company's stockholders pursuant to the terms of Section 11 of this Plan, such approval shall be obtained within twelve (12) months after the date such amendment is adopted by the Committee; provided, that such amendment shall not become effective until such approval has been obtained. (c) SOLICITATION OF APPROVAL. The approval by the Company's stockholders of this Plan, and their approval of any subsequent amendment to this Plan requiring their approval, shall be solicited (i) substantially in accordance with section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) after the Company has furnished in writing to the stockholders entitled to vote substantially the same information concerning this Plan as that which would be required by the rules and regulations then in effect under section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. SECTION 11 TERM OF PLAN; EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION (a) TERM OF PLAN. This Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board of Directors and will be subject to the approval by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 10 above. This Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under this Section 11. (b) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Committee in its sole discretion may terminate this Plan at any time. The Committee may amend this Plan at any time in such respects as the Committee may deem advisable; provided, that the following amendments shall require approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote: (i) Any change in the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan, other than in connection with an adjustment under Section 8 of this Plan; (ii) Any change in the designation of the individuals eligible to be granted Options; or (iii) Any change in this Plan that would materially increase the benefits accruing to individuals under this Plan. (c) EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event this Plan is terminated, no Shares shall be issued under this Plan, except upon exercise of an Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of this Plan, or any amendment hereof, shall not affect any Shares previously issued to an Optionee or any Option previously granted under this Plan. SECTION 12 GOVERNING LAW This plan and any and all Stock Option Agreements executed in connection with this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
