eliminates director liability to the fullest extent permitted under Oregon law. However,

the Company or its stockholders; acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; any distribution to stockholders

Oregon law, the Company&#146;s officers, directors, employees, and agents may be indemnified
against certain liabilities. Article VII of the Company&#146;s Bylaws requires the
indemnification of directors and officers. Under these provisions the Company is required
to indemnify its directors and officers against liability incurred in a proceeding if:
the conduct of the officer or director was in good faith; the officer or director
reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in the best interests of the Company, or at
least not opposed to its best interest; and in the case of a criminal proceeding, the
individual had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The Company
may also indemnify officers and directors against liability incurred in other proceedings
and may, by agreement, by general or specific action of the Board of Directors, by vote
of the stockholders or otherwise, provide for such indemnification. The Company may also
purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of directors, officers, or other
agents of the Company. The Company currently maintains director and officer liability
insurance in the total amount of $8 million. </FONT></P>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED
IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The
following documents, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") by the registrant are incorporated herein by reference and made part
hereof:
1.
The
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000;
2.
All other reports and documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
Registrant's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K; and
3.
The
description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration
Statement on Form 1-A (File No. 0-23322), as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 26, 1993.
All documents subsequently

Exchange Act after the date of filing of this Registration Statement, and prior
to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities

Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Oregon
law permits the elimination of personal liability of directors of corporations if such
limitations are contained in their articles of incorporation. Article XI of the Articles
eliminates director liability to the fullest extent permitted under Oregon law. However,
a director's liability is not limited for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders; acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; any distribution to stockholders
which is unlawful under Oregon law; or, any transaction from which the director derives
an improper personal benefit.
2
Under
Oregon law, the Company's officers, directors, employees, and agents may be indemnified
against certain liabilities. Article VII of the Company's Bylaws requires the
indemnification of directors and officers. Under these provisions the Company is required
to indemnify its directors and officers against liability incurred in a proceeding if:
the conduct of the officer or director was in good faith; the officer or director
reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in the best interests of the Company, or at
least not opposed to its best interest; and in the case of a criminal proceeding, the
individual had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The Company
may also indemnify officers and directors against liability incurred in other proceedings
and may, by agreement, by general or specific action of the Board of Directors, by vote
of the stockholders or otherwise, provide for such indemnification. The Company may also
purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of directors, officers, or other
agents of the Company. The Company currently maintains director and officer liability
insurance in the total amount of $8 million.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not
applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
The
registrant has submitted the Plan and all amendments thereto to the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") in a timely manner, and has made or will make all changes required by the
IRS in order to maintain the qualification of the Plan.
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, as
amended (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;
(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) 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
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.
3
B.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the 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 benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) 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 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
above-referenced 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.
