ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Company is a Delaware corporation. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "GCL") provides, in summary, that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation (i) in the case of third-party claims, against certain expenses incurred by such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened against such person by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (ii) in the case of actions by or in the right of the corporation, against certain expenses incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such an action, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that, in the case of actions by or in the right of the corporation, if such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, no indemnification can be made unless a court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. Indemnification also is authorized with respect to any criminal action or proceeding where, in addition to the criteria stated under (i) above, a director, officer, employee or agent had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Section 145 of the GCL furthermore provides that a corporation must indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the extent that he or she is successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any of the actions, suits or proceedings described above. The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "RESTATED CERTIFICATE") and Bylaws provide for the indemnification by the Registrant of directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest II-1 extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware GCL. Additionally, Section 145 of the Delaware GCL permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents against any liability asserted against such persons and incurred by such persons, or arising out of such persons' status as such. The Registrant maintains an insurance policy covering its directors and officers against such liability. The Registrant also has entered into indemnification agreements with certain directors and executive officers. The agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify the director or officer to the fullest extent allowed by the Restated Certificate and applicable law. In addition, the agreements provide that the Registrant will indemnify the director or officer for all expenses and liabilities relating to any proceeding in which the director or officer is made a party by reason of being an agent of the Registrant. The agreements also provide for mandatory insurance coverage for the director or officer. Section 102 of the Delaware GCL provides that a corporation, in its Certificate of Incorporation, may eliminate the personal liability of its directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, other than liability for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit and (4) unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions. The Restated Certificate provides for the elimination, to the fullest extent permitted by law, of personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Reference is made to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, filed on March 29, 2000. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS. See Exhibit Index. 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 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. 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and II-2 (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 clauses (1)(i) and (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 clauses 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 into 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; and (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 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. II-3 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 Portland, State of Oregon, on April 24, 2002.
