participating employees in accordance with Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Act). Such document(s) are not being filed with the
Commission pursuant to the introductory Note to Part 1 of Form S-8, but
constitute (along with the documents incorporated by reference to the
Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof) a prospectus that
meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement and are not required to
be filed with this registration statement:
(a) Registrants Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed on or about April
17, 2007 pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
(b) Registrants quarterly
reports on Form 10-QSB, for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30,
2007, and September 30, 2007, and registrants current reports on Form 8-K filed
on March 30, 2007, as amended on April 4, 2007 pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
All documents filed by the
registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 after the date of this registration statement and prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which
indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold, or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold under this registration
statement, 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.
Item 4. Description of Securities
.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article VII of the registrant's
Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the registrant's Bylaws provide that
the registrant shall indemnify a director or officer to the full extent
permitted by the Oregon Business Corporation Act as in effect at the time of the
conduct by such person. As presently in effect, the general effect of the Oregon
Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify any director or
officer against any judgment in connection with any proceeding,
after a determination by the registrant, if the director or officer acted in
good faith and if the director or officer believed his conduct was in the best
interests of the registrant, except in derivative actions: (1) where the
director or officer shall be adjudged liable to the Registrant in the
performance of such director's or officer's duty to the registrant, unless, and
only to the extent, the court shall determine otherwise; (2) of amounts paid in
settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval; or,
(3) of expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or
otherwise disposed of without court approval. The registrant may advance
expenses incurred by a director or officer in any proceeding if he undertakes to
repay the advance if it is determined ultimately that the director or officer is
not entitled to be indemnified. The registrant shall indemnify a director or
officer against expenses in defense of any proceeding to the extent in which the
director or officer was successful on the merits in defense. A director or
officer may apply to the court or any court of competent jurisdiction for an
order of indemnification. If a corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a
director or officer then the corporation shall give written notice to the
shareholders prior to the next annual shareholder's meeting.
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 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.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed
.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
(1) Incorporated by reference to
the registrants Form 10KSB filed April 17, 2007, SEC File Number 000-26065.
(2) Filed herewith.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
1. To file, during the 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 the 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement, and,
(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 the 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.
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.
4. The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to
each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to
security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and
furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial
information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set
forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is
specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim
financial information.
5. The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants 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 pursuant to the plans annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) for the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
6. 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
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.
