  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The WBCA provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents in certain circumstances.&#160; WBCA Section 23B.08.510 provides that a
    corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if&#160; (a) the director acted in good faith, (b) the director reasonably believed that the
    director&#8217;s conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or in certain instances, at least not opposed to its best interests and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had no reasonable cause to believe the director&#8217;s conduct
    was unlawful.&#160; However, a corporation may not indemnify a director under this section (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (b) 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.&#160; WBCA Section 23B.08.520 provides that unless limited by the
    articles of incorporation, a corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful 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.&#160; WBCA Section 23B.08.540 provides a mechanism for court-ordered indemnification.</div>
  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">WBCA Section 23B.08.570 provides that unless a corporation&#8217;s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, (1) an officer of the corporation who is not a
    director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under WBCA Section 23B.08.520, and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under WBCA Section 23B.08.540, (2) the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under WBCA Section
    23B.08.510 through 23B.08.560 to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director and (3) a corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent who is not a
    director to the extent, consistent with law, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or contract.&#160; WBCA Section 23B.08.580 provides that a corporation may purchase insurance on
    behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the
    individual against the same liability under WBCA Section 23B.08.510 or 23B.08.520.</div>

Item 6
.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article XIV of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation requires indemnification of any person who is or was a director, officer or agent of the Registrant
    and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the Registrant, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
    paid in settlement and incurred by that person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  However, this indemnity does not apply to: (a) acts or omissions
II-1
finally adjudged to violate law; (b) conduct finally adjudged to violate Section 23B.08.310 (relating to unlawful distributions by the corporation) of the
    Washington Business Corporation Act ("WBCA") or (c) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that the person received a benefit in money, property or services to which that person was not legally entitled.  Article XIV also
    provides for the authority to purchase insurance with respect thereto.
The WBCA provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents in certain circumstances.  WBCA Section 23B.08.510 provides that a
    corporation may 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 director acted in good faith, (b) the director reasonably believed that the
    director's conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or in certain instances, at least not opposed to its best interests and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had no reasonable cause to believe the director's conduct
    was unlawful.  However, a corporation may not indemnify a director under this section (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (b) 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.  WBCA Section 23B.08.520 provides that unless limited by the
    articles of incorporation, a corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful 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.  WBCA Section 23B.08.540 provides a mechanism for court-ordered indemnification.
WBCA Section 23B.08.570 provides that unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, (1) an officer of the corporation who is not a
    director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under WBCA Section 23B.08.520, and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under WBCA Section 23B.08.540, (2) the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under WBCA Section
    23B.08.510 through 23B.08.560 to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director and (3) a corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent who is not a
    director to the extent, consistent with law, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or contract.  WBCA Section 23B.08.580 provides that a corporation may purchase insurance on
    behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the
    individual against the same liability under WBCA Section 23B.08.510 or 23B.08.520.
The Registrant maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.
The above discussion of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and the WBCA is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such Articles of Incorporation and statutes.

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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
      distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change in such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
      post-effective amendment by those clauses 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 purposes 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 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 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
II-3
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to 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, officer 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
