Corporation Act (the &#147;Act&#148;) provides that any director held liable for an unlawful distribution in violation of Section&nbsp;60.367(1) of the Act is entitled to contribution from (i)&nbsp;every other director who voted for or assented to
the distribution without complying with the applicable statutory standards of conduct and (ii)&nbsp;each shareholder for the amount the shareholder accepted knowing the distribution was made in violation of the Act or the corporation&#146;s articles
of incorporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article X, Section B, of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (&#147;Article X&#148;)
requires the registrant to indemnify officers, directors and certain other fiduciaries of the Registrant to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The effect of these provisions is summarized below, but the description is qualified in its

interests of the Registrant, or at least not opposed to its best interests, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is not permitted in
connection with a proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon a finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Indemnification is granted with respect to an action by or in the right of

liability of directors to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director to the full extent permitted by the Act. Under Section&nbsp;60.047 of the Act, a corporation may not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director for: (i)&nbsp;any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;any

Item 4.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
Item 5.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
None.
Item 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 60.367(2) of the Oregon Business
Corporation Act (the "Act") provides that any director held liable for an unlawful distribution in violation of Section 60.367(1) of the Act is entitled to contribution from (i) every other director who voted for or assented to
the distribution without complying with the applicable statutory standards of conduct and (ii) each shareholder for the amount the shareholder accepted knowing the distribution was made in violation of the Act or the corporation's articles
of incorporation.
Article X, Section B, of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation ("Article X")
requires the registrant to indemnify officers, directors and certain other fiduciaries of the Registrant to the fullest extent not prohibited by law. The effect of these provisions is summarized below, but the description is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Act and Article X.
Indemnification is granted with respect to any action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the Registrant) against all liabilities and reasonable expenses incurred in such proceeding, if the indemnitee's conduct was in good faith, the indemnitee reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in the best
interests of the Registrant, or at least not opposed to its best interests, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is not permitted in
connection with a proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless indemnification is permitted by a court upon a finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances.
Indemnification is granted with respect to an action by or in the right of
the Registrant for the reasonable expenses (including attorney fees) incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Termination of a
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the person did not meet the standard of conduct described above. If wholly successful on the
merits of a proceeding, a person is entitled to indemnity as a matter of right. Because the limits of indemnity under Oregon law are not clearly defined, Article X may provide indemnity broader
than that described above.
Article X includes the right to be paid by the Registrant the expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in
advance of its final disposition; provided that, the person seeking advances provides to the Registrant (i) a written affirmation of such person's good faith belief that such person has met the standard of conduct described in the Act or
is entitled to be indemnified under other indemnification rights granted by the Registrant to such person, and (ii) an undertaking to repay advanced amounts if it is determined by a final adjudication that such person is not entitled to
indemnity.
Article IX of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provides for the elimination of personal
liability of directors to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director to the full extent permitted by the Act. Under Section 60.047 of the Act, a corporation may not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director for: (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) any
unlawful distribution under Section 60.367 of the Act, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant currently has liability insurance to indemnify its directors and officers against expense, liability or loss arising from
claims by reason of their acts or omissions as officers and directors, as authorized by Section 60.411 of the Act.

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:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement; and
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) above do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in this 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.
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 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
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 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.
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 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 Portland, State of Oregon, on May 8, 2015.
