  <div><u>Item 6</u>.&#160;&#160; Indemnification of Directors and Officers</div>
  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">Article XIV of the Registrant&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation requires indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act (&#8220;WBCA&#8221;).&#160; However, the indemnity does
    not apply to (1) acts or omissions in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant in which the director or officer is finally adjudged liable to the Registrant, (2) conduct finally adjudged to violate the WBCA prohibition against
    unlawful distributions by the corporation or (3) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that the director or officer personally received a benefit to which he/she was not legally entitled.</div>
  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">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 </div>

  </div>
  <div style="text-indent: 36pt;"> <br>
  </div>
  <div style="text-indent: 0px;">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-indent: 36pt;">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>

    against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; 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.</div>

Item 6
.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article XIV of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation requires indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act ("WBCA").  However, the indemnity does
    not apply to (1) acts or omissions in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant in which the director or officer is finally adjudged liable to the Registrant, (2) conduct finally adjudged to violate the WBCA prohibition against
    unlawful distributions by the corporation or (3) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that the director or officer personally received a benefit to which he/she was not legally entitled.
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.

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 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant 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 Mountlake Terrace, State of Washington, on June 21, 2022.
