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>

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

Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  </FONT></TD>

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 Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation 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 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;
(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.
3
(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.
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.
