Item 4. Description of Securities.
-------------------------
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
--------------------------------------
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
-----------------------------------------
Article IV of the Registrant's Second Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles"), requires
indemnification of current or former directors of the Registrant to the
fullest extent not prohibited by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the
II-1
<PAGE>
"Act"). The Act permits or requires indemnification of directors and
officers in certain circumstances. The effects of the Articles and the Act
(the "Indemnification Provisions") are summarized as follows:
(a) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in
respect of any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the
Company), if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company, was not adjudged liable on the basis of receipt of an improper
personal benefit and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The
termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or
plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, is not, of itself,
determinative that the person did not meet the required standards of
conduct.
(b) The Indemnification Provisions grant a right of indemnification in
respect of any proceeding by or in the right of the Company against the
expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred if the
person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company,
except that no right of indemnification will be granted if the person is
adjudged to be liable to the Company.
(c) Every person who has been wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party
because of the person's status as a director or officer of a controversy
described in (a) or (b) above is entitled to indemnification as a matter of
right.
(d) Because the limits of permissible indemnification under Oregon law
are not clearly defined, the Indemnification Provisions may provide
indemnification broader than that described in (a) and (b).
(e) The Registrant may advance to a director or officer the expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition if
the director or officer affirms in writing in good faith that he or she has
met the standard of conduct to be entitled to indemnification as described
in (a) or (b) above and undertakes to repay any amount advanced if it is
determined that the person did not meet the required standard of conduct.
The Registrant may obtain insurance for the protection of its
directors and officers against any liability asserted against them in their
official capacities. The rights of indemnification described above are not
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which the persons
indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
shareholders or directors or otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings.
------------
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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 Sec tion 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the registration statement.
II-3
<PAGE>
(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 Company 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 Company 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.
