Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment No. 4 to Securities Purchase Agreement

On November 21, 2009, VIASPACE Inc. (the "Registrant") and its majority-owned subsidiary, VIASPACE Green Energy Inc., a British Virgin Islands international business company ("VGE"), entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") that was originally entered into on October 21, 2008 and subsequently amended on June 22, 2009, August 21, 2009 and October 14, 2009, with Sung Hsien Chang, an individual ("Chang"). Under the Purchase Agreement, VGE would acquire 100% of Inter-Pacific Arts Corp., a British Virgin Islands international business company ("IPA BVI"), and the entire equity interest of Guangzhou Inter-Pacific Arts Corp., a Chinese wholly owned foreign enterprise registered in Guangdong province ("IPA China") from Chang, the sole shareholder of IPA BVI and IPA China. In exchange, the Registrant agreed to pay a combination of cash, and newly-issued shares of Registrant and VGE stock.

IPA BVI and IPA China specialize in the manufacturing of high quality, copyrighted, framed artwork sold in U.S. retail chain stores. IPA China also has a license to grow and sell a new fast-growing hybrid grass to be used for production of biofuels and as feed for livestock.

The acquisition of IPA BVI and IPA China ("Acquisition") was to be completed through two closings. At the first closing which took place on October 21, 2008, VGE issued newly-issued shares to Chang and his designees and the Registrant issued shares of its common stock to Chang and Licensor. Chang delivered 70% of the outstanding common stock of IPA BVI.

The second closing was originally scheduled to be held within 240 days after the first closing ("Second Closing") or June 21, 2009. On June 22, 2009, Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement extended the Second Closing to August 21, 2009. On August 21, 2009, Amendment No. 2 was entered into which extended the Second Closing to November 21, 2009. This Amendment extends the Second Closing to November 26, 2009. At the Second Closing, the Registrant is to pay $4.8 million ("Cash Consideration") plus Interest since the First Closing, in cash to Chang.

As required by the Purchase Agreement, VGE filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 3, 2009 covering the resale of all or such maximum portion of VGE common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as permitted by SEC regulations. This Amendment extends the Second Closing until November 26, 2009. If VGE's Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC on or before November 26, 2009, the Second Closing Deadline will be extended until December 26, 2009.

The description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
