<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The provisions of our articles of incorporation, our bylaws, and Washington law summarized in the following paragraphs may have anti-takeover
effects and may delay, defer, or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider to be in such shareholder&#146;s best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the
shares held by shareholders, and may make removal of management more difficult. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Authorized Shares </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. These
shares of common stock and preferred stock provide our board of directors with as much flexibility as possible to effect, among other transactions, financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the exercise of employee stock options.
However, these additional authorized shares may also be used by the board of directors consistent with its fiduciary duty to deter future attempts to gain control of us. The board of directors also has sole authority to determine the terms of any
one or more series of preferred stock, including voting rights, conversion rates, and liquidation preferences. As a result of the ability to fix voting rights for a series of preferred stock, the board of directors has the power to the extent
consistent with its fiduciary duty to issue a series of preferred stock to persons friendly to management in order to attempt to block a tender offer, merger or other transaction by which a third party seeks control of us, and thereby assist members
of management to retain their positions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Board of Directors </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except with respect to any directors who may be elected by any series of preferred stock, our board of directors is divided into three classes,
each of which contains approximately <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT> of the members of the board. The members of each class are elected for a term of three years, with the terms of office of all members of one class expiring each
year so that approximately <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third</FONT> of the total number of directors is elected each year. The classification of directors, together with the provisions in our articles of incorporation described below that
limit the ability of shareholders to remove directors and that permit only the remaining directors to fill any vacancies on the board of directors, have the effect of making it more difficult for shareholders to change the composition of the board
of directors. As a result, at least two annual meetings of shareholders will be required for the shareholders to change a majority of the directors, whether or not a change in the board of directors would be beneficial and whether or not a majority
of shareholders believe that such a change would be desirable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our articles of incorporation provides that the size of the board shall be
not less than five or more than 15 as set in accordance with the bylaws. In accordance with the bylaws, the number of directors is currently set at nine. The bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring in the board of directors, including as a result
of an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled, by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if such majority is less than a quorum, for the unexpired term of such director&#146;s predecessor in office. The classified
board is intended to provide for continuity of the board of directors and to make it more difficult and time consuming for a shareholder group to fully use its voting power to gain control of the board of directors without the consent of incumbent
members of the board. The articles of incorporation further provide that a director may be removed from the board of directors prior to the expiration of the director&#146;s term only with cause and only by a majority of the total votes eligible to
be cast thereon, provided that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting is voted against the director&#146;s removal. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our bylaws generally require a shareholder who intends to raise new business or nominate a candidate for election to the board of directors to
give written notice no later than 90&nbsp;days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials in connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders. The notice provision requires a shareholder who desires to
raise new business to provide certain information to us concerning the nature of the new business, the shareholder and the shareholder&#146;s interest in the business matter. Similarly, a shareholder wishing to nominate any person for election as a
director must provide us with certain information concerning the nominee and the proposing shareholder. Advance notice of nominations or proposed business by shareholders gives our board of directors time to consider the qualifications of the
proposed nominees, the merits of the proposals and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the board, to inform shareholders and make recommendations about those matters. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The cumulative effect of the restrictions on a potential acquisition of us that are contained in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and
federal and Washington law, may be to discourage potential takeover attempts and perpetuate incumbent management, even though certain shareholders may deem a potential acquisition to be in their best interests, or deem existing management not to be
acting in their best interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Anti-Takeover Effects of Washington Law </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Washington law contains certain provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control. Chapter 23B.19 of
the WBCA prohibits us, with certain exceptions, from engaging in certain significant business transactions with (or as a result of) an &#147;acquiring person&#148; (defined as a person or group of persons who acquire 10% or more of our voting
securities without the prior approval of the our board of directors) for a period of five years following the acquiring person&#146;s share acquisition date. The prohibited transactions include, among others, a merger or consolidation with, sale or
disposition of assets to, or issuance or redemption of stock to or from, the acquiring person, or an affiliate or associate of the acquiring person, or otherwise allowing the acquiring person or an affiliate or associate to receive a
disproportionate benefit as a shareholder. Exceptions to this statutory prohibition include approval of the transaction at a shareholders meeting by holders of not less than a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the shares held by
each voting group entitled to vote on the transaction, not counting shares as to which the acquiring person has beneficial ownership or voting control, transactions approved by the board of directors prior to the acquiring person first becoming an
acquiring person, or, with respect to a merger, share exchange, consolidation, liquidation or distribution entered into with the acquiring person, transactions where certain other requirements regarding the fairness of the consideration to be
received by the shareholders have been met. We may not exempt ourselves from coverage of this statute. These statutory provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons acting in concert from acquiring control of a bank holding company unless
the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days prior written notice of such proposed acquisition and within that time period the Federal Reserve Board has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition or extending the period during
which such a disapproval may be issued. The term &#147;control&#148; is defined for this purpose to include ownership or control of, or holding with power to vote, 25% or more of any class of a bank holding company&#146;s voting securities. Under a
rebuttable presumption contained in the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, ownership or control of, or holding with power to vote, 10% or more of any class of voting securities of a bank holding company having a class of securities registered
under Section&nbsp;12 of the Exchange Act would also be deemed to constitute the acquisition of control. In addition, any company would be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 before
acquiring control of a bank holding company. For this purpose, a company is deemed to have control of a bank holding company if (i)&nbsp;the company owns, controls, holds with power to vote, or holds proxies representing, 25% or more of any class of
voting shares of the bank holding company, (ii)&nbsp;controls in any manner the election of a majority of the bank holding company&#146;s directors or (iii)&nbsp;the Federal Reserve Board determines that the company directly or indirectly exercises
a controlling influence over the management or policies of the bank holding company (a test that has been broadly applied by the Federal Reserve Board based on its consideration of all relevant facts). </P>

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
