Item 4. DESCRIPTON OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     Not applicable.

Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     As an Oregon corporation, the Registrant is subject to the laws of the State of Oregon governing private corporations and the exculpation from liability and indemnification provisions contained therein. In accordance with Section 60.047(2)(d) of the Oregon Revised Statutes (“ORS”), the Registrant’s Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) eliminate the liability of the Registrant’s directors to the Registrant or its shareholders except for any liability related to (i) breach of the duty of loyalty and (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     ORS Section 60.391 allows corporations to indemnify their directors and officers against liability where the director or officer has acted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that actions taken were in the best interests of the corporation or at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, if in a criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct in question was unlawful. Under ORS Section 60.391, corporations may not indemnify a director or officer against liability in connection with a claim by or in the right of the corporation or for any improper personal benefit in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation. ORS Section 60.394 mandates indemnification of directors for all reasonable expenses incurred in the successful defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation. Finally, in accordance with ORS Section 60.401, a court may order indemnification

II-1

in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director or officer met the good-faith and reasonable belief standards of conduct set out in ORS Section 60.391.

     ORS Section 60.414 also provides that the statutory indemnification provisions are not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which directors or officers may be entitled under a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, general or specific action of the board of directors, vote of shareholders or otherwise.

     The Articles provide that the Registrant is required to indemnify to the fullest extent not prohibited by law any current or former director who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person serves or served as a director of the Registrant. The Articles also provide that the Registrant is permitted to indemnify to the fullest extent not prohibited by law any current or former officer who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer of the Registrant.

     In January 2001, the Registrant entered into indemnification agreements with the Registrant’s directors and officers. These indemnification agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify a director or officer who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such director or officer serves or served as a director or officer of the Registrant, but only if the director or officer has acted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that actions taken were in or not opposed to the Registrant’s best interests and, if in a criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct in question was unlawful. The indemnification agreements specify indemnification procedures and further provide that the Registrant will maintain liability insurance for the Registrant’s directors and officers in reasonable amounts from reputable insurers.

Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

     Not applicable.

Item 8. EXHIBITS

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:

II-2

          (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement; and

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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 this Registration Statement.

     (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 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, 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 benefits plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this 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 foregoing 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.
