Item 4. Description of Securities.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (the “WBCA”) authorizes Washington corporations to indemnify and advance expenses to directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation under certain circumstances against liabilities and expenses incurred in proceedings involving such individual because of their being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to agree to so indemnify and obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses without regard to the limitations of Section 23B.08.510 through 23B.08.550 of the WBCA; provided, however, that no such indemnity shall be made for or on account of any (a) acts or omissions of the director, officer, employee or agent finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (b) conduct of the director, officer, employee or agent finally adjudged to be in violation of Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions); or (c) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that such director, officer, employee or agent personally received a benefit in money, property, or services to which the director, officer, employee or agent was not legally entitled. Furthermore, Section 23B.08.320 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to limit a director’s liability to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except in certain circumstances involving (i) acts or omissions of a director involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii) conduct violating Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions) or (iii) any transaction for which a director personally receives a benefit in money, property or services to which the director was not legally entitled.
     The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “Articles”), and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended by Amendment No.1 thereto (the “Bylaws”), provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Bylaws also provide that the Company may indemnify its employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Company’s Articles and Bylaws also require advances for expenses for such indemnified individuals who are parties to such a proceeding as provided by applicable law or by written agreement; which written agreement may allow any required determination as to the availability of indemnification to be made by any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Board of Directors, any other person or body appointed by the Board of Directors who is not a party to the particular claim, or independent legal counsel. The Company’s Articles provide that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company or to any of its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director pursuant to Section 23B.08.320 of the WBCA, subject to the limitations of that Section. The Bylaws also provide that the Company may maintain, at its expense, insurance to protect itself and an indemnified director, officer, employee or agent against any liability, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such director, officer, employee or agent against the same liability under Sections 23B.08.510 or 23B.08.520 of the WBCA.
     The Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of its directors and executive officers (each an “Indemnified Party” and together the “Indemnified Parties”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to maintain certain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on the Indemnified Party covering claims arising from any act or omission of the Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary, or consultant of the Company or from any such acts or omissions while serving in such capacity to another entity, provided the Indemnified Party is so serving at the request of the Company. However, such insurance coverage shall not apply when the claim or expense relates to or arises out of any (a) acts or omissions of the Indemnified Party finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (b) conduct of the Indemnified Party finally adjudged to be in violation of Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA (which section relates to unlawful distributions); or (c) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that such Indemnified Party personally received a benefit in money, property, or services to which the Indemnified Party was not legally entitled. Such insurance coverage shall also not be required

 


Table of Contents

if the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company determine that such insurance is not reasonably available, the premium costs are disproportionate to the coverage amount or the coverage has limitations such that the coverage provides an insufficient benefit. The Indemnification Agreements also include an obligation of the Company to advance to the Indemnified Party any expenses related to proceedings involving such claims.

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;
               (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 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective 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 Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic 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 this Registration Statement.
          (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.

 


Table of Contents

          (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 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 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 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 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.
