Item 4.  Description of Securities.
         _________________________

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
         ______________________________________

      Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         _________________________________________

     Under the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Oregon Act"), the
Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and the
Company's Third Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), the Company has broad
powers to indemnify directors and officers against liabilities that they
may incur in such capacities.

     The Oregon Act authorizes the indemnification of an individual made a
party to a proceeding because the individual is or was an officer or
director against certain liability incurred in the proceeding if:

        (a)     the conduct of the individual was in good faith;

        (b)     the individual reasonably believed that his or her conduct
was in the best interests of the corporation or at least not opposed to
its best interests;

        (c)     in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had
no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;

        (d)     in the case of any proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, the individual was not adjudged liable to the corporation;
and

        (e)     in connection with any proceeding (other than a proceeding
by or in the right of the corporation) charging improper personal benefit
to the individual, the individual was not adjudged liable on the basis
that he or she improperly received personal benefit.

     The Oregon Act also authorizes a court to order indemnification,
whether or not the above standards of conduct have been met, if the court
determines that the officer or director is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.  In
addition, the Oregon Act provides that the indemnification described above
is not exclusive of any other rights to which officers or directors may be
entitled under the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, or
under any agreement, action of its board of directors, vote of
shareholders or otherwise.

     Paragraph A of Article VIII of the Articles authorizes, but does not
require, the Company to indemnify its officers and directors to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law against liability incurred in serving
the Company.  Article IX of the Bylaws requires the Company to indemnify
its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law
against liability incurred in serving the Company.

     The Oregon Act also authorizes a corporation to include in its
articles of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for conduct as a director, except that such a provision
cannot affect the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any unlawful corporate
distribution as defined in the Oregon Act or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     Paragraph B of Article VIII of the Articles and Article X of the
Bylaws provide that the liability of the Company's directors to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director
is limited to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

     In addition to the indemnification and exculpation provided by the
Articles and Bylaws, the Company has entered into an indemnity agreement
with each of its directors and officers.  The indemnity agreements require
the Company to provide indemnification, to the fullest extend not
prohibited by law, for all liability (including attorney fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by
the director or officer in connection with any actual or threatened
proceeding (including, to the extent not prohibited by law, any derivative
action) by reason of the fact that the person is or was serving as a
director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including an employee benefit plan.

     The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
under which the Company's directors and officers are insured against loss
(as defined) as a result of claims brought against them alleging breach of
duty, neglect, error or misstatement while acting in such capacities.

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 the
                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) do not
      apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form
      F-3, and 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
      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.

                (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 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.

                                 SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of 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 Beaverton, State of Oregon, on
April 29, 2003.

         ______________________________________

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         _________________________________________

     Under the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the "Oregon Act"), the
Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and the
Company's Third Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), the Company has broad
powers to indemnify directors and officers against liabilities that they
may incur in such capacities.

     The Oregon Act authorizes the indemnification of an individual made a
party to a proceeding because the individual is or was an officer or
director against certain liability incurred in the proceeding if:

        (a)     the conduct of the individual was in good faith;

        (b)     the individual reasonably believed that his or her conduct
was in the best interests of the corporation or at least not opposed to
its best interests;

        (c)     in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had
no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;

        (d)     in the case of any proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, the individual was not adjudged liable to the corporation;
and

        (e)     in connection with any proceeding (other than a proceeding
by or in the right of the corporation) charging improper personal benefit
to the individual, the individual was not adjudged liable on the basis
that he or she improperly received personal benefit.

     The Oregon Act also authorizes a court to order indemnification,
whether or not the above standards of conduct have been met, if the court
determines that the officer or director is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.  In
addition, the Oregon Act provides that the indemnification described above
is not exclusive of any other rights to which officers or directors may be
entitled under the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, or
under any agreement, action of its board of directors, vote of
shareholders or otherwise.

     Paragraph A of Article VIII of the Articles authorizes, but does not
require, the Company to indemnify its officers and directors to the
fullest extent not prohibited by law against liability incurred in serving
the Company.  Article IX of the Bylaws requires the Company to indemnify
its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law
against liability incurred in serving the Company.

     The Oregon Act also authorizes a corporation to include in its
articles of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for
monetary damages for conduct as a director, except that such a provision
cannot affect the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any unlawful corporate
distribution as defined in the Oregon Act or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     Paragraph B of Article VIII of the Articles and Article X of the
Bylaws provide that the liability of the Company's directors to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director
is limited to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

     In addition to the indemnification and exculpation provided by the
Articles and Bylaws, the Company has entered into an indemnity agreement
with each of its directors and officers.  The indemnity agreements require
the Company to provide indemnification, to the fullest extend not
prohibited by law, for all liability (including attorney fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by
the director or officer in connection with any actual or threatened
proceeding (including, to the extent not prohibited by law, any derivative
action) by reason of the fact that the person is or was serving as a
director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including an employee benefit plan.

     The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
under which the Company's directors and officers are insured against loss
(as defined) as a result of claims brought against them alleging breach of
duty, neglect, error or misstatement while acting in such capacities.

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 the
                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) do not
      apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form
      F-3, and 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
      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.

                (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 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.

                                 SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Company certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of 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 Beaverton, State of Oregon, on
April 29, 2003.
