Section 60.407 of the OBCA provides that an officer of the corporation is entitled to the same mandatory indemnification under Section 60.394 as a director.  The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the &#147;Charter&#148;) do not limit the indemnification provided under Section 60.394 of the OBCA.

Indemnification is not permitted under Section 60.391 (i) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (ii) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that
personal benefit was improperly received by the director.  Article VIII of the Charter and Section 6.1 of the Company&#146;s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;) provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each current or former officer or director who is made or threatened to be made a party to, witness in, or otherwise involved in, any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise (including an action, suit, or proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or a fiduciary within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or serves or served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent, or as a fiduciary of an

<p style=' margin-bottom:12pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Section 6.8 of the Company&#146;s Bylaws provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the OBCA, the Company, upon approval by the board of directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to Article VI of the Bylaws.   The Company has procured directors and officers liability insurance for alleged wrongful acts against insured persons, and with respect to securities claims, for alleged wrongful acts against the Company. This is an indemnity policy that offers protection for the Company for its liability assumed or incurred under the above indemnification provisions, including defense provisions, on behalf of the directors and officers.  This insurance also offers protection for the individual directors and officers for claims where the Company is legally or financially unable to indemnify the directors and officers.  Finally,
this insurance affords protection to the Company as an insured for securities claims. The directors and officers are thus indemnified against loss arising from any claims by reason of any wrongful act done or alleged to have been done while acting in their respective capacities as directors or officers.  The policy excludes claims for insured persons who are found to have committed dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or malicious acts or omissions by directors or officers; coverage remains in effect for innocent insured persons.</font></p>

Item 5.

The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock to be registered in connection with this registration statement will be passed upon by Douglas R.

Pursuant to the Plan, Mr. Nichols is eligible to receive shares of Common Stock and options to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 60.394 of the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "OBCA") provides that unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.  Section 60.407 of the OBCA provides that an officer of the corporation is entitled to the same mandatory indemnification under Section 60.394 as a director.  The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Charter") do not limit the indemnification provided under Section 60.394 of the OBCA.  Article VII of the Company's Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Company shall be
personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director.
Section 60.391 of the OBCA authorizes a corporation to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:  (a) the conduct of the individual was in good faith; (b) the individual reasonably believed that the individual's conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or at least not opposed to its best interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful.  Indemnification is not permitted under Section 60.391 (i) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (ii) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that
personal benefit was improperly received by the director.  Article VIII of the Charter and Section 6.1 of the Company's Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each current or former officer or director who is made or threatened to be made a party to, witness in, or otherwise involved in, any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise (including an action, suit, or proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or a fiduciary within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or serves or served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent, or as a fiduciary of an
employee benefit plan, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
3
In addition, Section 60.411 of the OBCA provides that a corporation (i) may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or who, while a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and (ii) may purchase and maintain the insurance even if the corporation has no power to indemnify the individual against the same liability under Section 60.391 or Section 60.394.
Section 6.8 of the Company's Bylaws provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the OBCA, the Company, upon approval by the board of directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to Article VI of the Bylaws.   The Company has procured directors and officers liability insurance for alleged wrongful acts against insured persons, and with respect to securities claims, for alleged wrongful acts against the Company. This is an indemnity policy that offers protection for the Company for its liability assumed or incurred under the above indemnification provisions, including defense provisions, on behalf of the directors and officers.  This insurance also offers protection for the individual directors and officers for claims where the Company is legally or financially unable to indemnify the directors and officers.  Finally,
this insurance affords protection to the Company as an insured for securities claims. The directors and officers are thus indemnified against loss arising from any claims by reason of any wrongful act done or alleged to have been done while acting in their respective capacities as directors or officers.  The policy excludes claims for insured persons who are found to have committed dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or malicious acts or omissions by directors or officers; coverage remains in effect for innocent insured persons.

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section 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 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 bona fide offering thereof.
5
(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 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 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, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
