</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business Corporation Act, or WBCA,
authorize a court to award, or a corporation&#146;s board of directors to grant, indemnification to
directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Section&nbsp;10 of the
registrant&#146;s bylaws provides for indemnification of the registrant&#146;s directors, officers, employees
and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Washington law. The directors and officers of the
registrant also may be indemnified against liability they incur for serving in that capacity under
a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance policy maintained by the registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;23B.08.320 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to limit a director&#146;s liability to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except in
certain circumstances involving intentional misconduct, knowing violations of law, self-dealing or
illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally
receives a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
Section&nbsp;5.2 of the registrant&#146;s articles of incorporation contains provisions implementing, to the
fullest extent permitted by Washington law, these limitations on a director&#146;s liability to the
registrant and its shareholders.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, are hereby
incorporated by reference into this registration statement:
(a) The registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 pursuant
to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, which
contains audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year for which such
statements have been filed;
(b) The registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005;
(c) The registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 24, 2005, January 26, 2005,
March 15, 2005, March 18, 2005, May 13, 2005, July 14, 2005 and August 3, 2005; and
(d) The registrant's registration statements on Form 8-A filed on February 8, 1999 and October
28, 1999, which contain descriptions of the registrant's common stock and Series A Preferred Stock
purchase rights.
All documents filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act after the date hereof and before the filing of a post-effective amendment that
indicates that the securities offered hereby have been sold or that deregisters the securities
covered hereby then remaining unsold, shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into and
to be a part of this registration statement, commencing on the respective dates on which such
documents are filed.
Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not applicable.
Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
None.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business Corporation Act, or WBCA,
authorize a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to
directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Section 10 of the
registrant's bylaws provides for indemnification of the registrant's directors, officers, employees
and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Washington law. The directors and officers of the
registrant also may be indemnified against liability they incur for serving in that capacity under
a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy maintained by the registrant.
Section 23B.08.320 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to limit a director's liability to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for acts or omissions as a director, except in
certain circumstances involving intentional misconduct, knowing violations of law, self-dealing or
illegal corporate loans or distributions, or any transaction from which the director personally
receives a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled.
Section 5.2 of the registrant's articles of incorporation contains provisions implementing, to the
fullest extent permitted by Washington law, these limitations on a director's liability to the
registrant and its shareholders.

The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and

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;
(ii) 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
(iii) 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;
II-2
Table of Contents
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 with or furnished to the SEC
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 SEC 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.
