PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE The following documents are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement: (a) The Registrant's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 1, 1995, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 25, 1995; (b) All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report on Form 10- K referred to in (a) above; and (c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on May 13, 1988 under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such descriptions. All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that the securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters the securities covered hereby then remaining unsold shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the respective dates on which such documents are filed. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS A. As permitted by Section 23B.08.320 of the Washington Business Corporation Act, Article X of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation limits a director's liability to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages arising from his or her conduct as a director, except for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, approval of distributions or loans in violation of Section 23B.06.400 of the Washington Business Corporation Act or any transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled. Sections 23B.08.500 through 23B.08.600 of the Washington Business Corporation Act authorize a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers on terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. As permitted by Section 23B.08.560 of the Washington Business Corporation Act, Article IX of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its officers and directors and may indemnify its employees and other agents against any and all loss, liability, expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement (each, a "Loss") actually and reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except for a Loss arising out of acts or omissions finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a known violation of law, approval of distributions or loans that are finally adjudged to be in violation of RCW 23B.06.400 or any transaction in which it is finally adjudged that the indemnitee personally received a benefit in money, property or services to which the indemnitee was not legally entitled. The Registrant's Bylaws also permit it to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit indemnification, and to enter into agreements to indemnify its officers and directors in furtherance of Article IX of the Registrant's Bylaws. The Registrant has entered into such agreements with certain of its officers and directors. 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 benefit 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 of 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.
