1 Part II: INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference. The following documents listed in (a) through (e) below are incorporated herein by reference and all documents subsequently filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents: (a) The Registrant's Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year end December 25, 1994, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as amended; which contains audited financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year. (b) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant document referred to in (a) above. (c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in a registration statement filed under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description. (d) The contents of Registration statement number 33- 41414 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such statements. (e) All annual reports on Form 11-K filed by the Registrant's Hourly 401(K) Plan pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Registrant's By-laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, or employee of the corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent and in the manner set forth in and permitted by the Business Corporation Act of the State of Washington (the "Act"), and any other applicable law, as from time to time in effect. Section 23B.08.510 of the Act, as amended, authorizes a court to award, or a corporation to grant, subject to certain limitations, indemnity to its directors and officers against reasonable expenses actually incurred in defending litigation against them in their capacities as directors and officers. This indemnity to directors and officers is sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to section 23B.08.560 of the Act, the scope of the indemnification to the Registrant's directors and officers includes a right to indemnification for all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually incurred by any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. Pursuant to the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation, if the Washington Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize 2 corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Registrant shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act, as so amended. The Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation also implements section 23B.08.320 which permits a corporation to limit the personal liability of directors to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages. The Registrant may also indemnify and advance expenses under RCW 23B.08.510 through 23B.08.560 to an employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director. The Registrant has obtained and maintains a standard form officers' and directors' liability insurance policy insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities for certain acts or omissions while acting in their official capacity including liability under the Securities Act of 1933. Item 8. Exhibits. Exhibit Number Description ------- ----------- 5.1 Legality Opinion of Sandy D. McDade 5.2 ERISA undertaking 23.1 Consent of Attorney 23.2 Consent of Arthur Andersen L.L.P. 24 Power of Attorney 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 as amended; (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, represents 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 paragraph (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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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. 3 (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the Registrant's annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (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, as amended,) 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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes (1) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or given, a copy of the Registrant's annual report to shareholders for its last fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report in which case the Registrant shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly furnish, without charge, a copy of such report on written request of the employee. If the last fiscal year of the issuer has ended within 120 days prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual report of the Registrant for the preceding fiscal year may be so delivered, but within such 120 day period the annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee. (2) To transmit or cause to be transmitted to all employees participating in the plan who do not otherwise receive such material as shareholders of the Registrant, at the time and in the manner such material is sent to its shareholders, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications distributed to its shareholders generally. (3) Where interests in a plan are registered herewith, to transmit or cause to be transmitted promptly, without charge, to any participant in the plan who makes a written request, a copy of the then latest annual report of the plan filed pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Form 11-K). If such report is filed separately on Form 11- K, such form shall be delivered upon written request. If such report is filed as a part of the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K, that entire report (excluding exhibits) shall be delivered upon written request. If such report is filed as a part of the Registrant's annual report to shareholders delivered pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of this undertaking additional delivery shall not be required. (d) 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 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 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. (e) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that the Registrant will submit or has submitted the Plan to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS to qualify the Plan. 4 SIGNATURES.
