FAIR PRICE PROVISION

. For purposes of this Article:

An interested shareholder transaction means any transaction between a corporation, or any subsidiary thereof, and an interested shareholder of such corporation or an affiliated person to an interested shareholder, that must be authorized pursuant to applicable law by a vote of the shareholders.

An interested shareholder:

Includes any person or group of affiliated persons who beneficially own twenty percent or more of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation. An affiliated person is any person who either acts jointly or in concert with, or directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with another person; and

Excludes any person who, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Article, is an agent, custodial bank, broker, nominee, or trustee for another person, if such other person is not an interested shareholder under Section 1(b)(1) of this Article.

. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Article, an interested shareholder transaction must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to be counted under this Section 2, or if any class of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, then by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the shares of each class entitled to be counted under this Section 2 and of the total shares entitled to be counted under this Section 2. All outstanding shares entitled to vote under applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation will be entitled to be counted under this Section 2, except shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder may not be counted to determine whether shareholders have approved a transaction for purposes of this Section 2. The vote of the shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder, however, will be counted in determining whether a transaction is approved under other provisions of applicable law and for purposes of determining a quorum.

. This Article will not apply to a transaction:

Approved by a majority vote of the board of directors. For such purpose, the vote of directors whose votes are otherwise entitled to be counted under the Articles of Incorporation and applicable law who are directors or officers of, or have a material financial interest in, an interested shareholder, or who were nominated for election as a director as a result of an arrangement with an interested shareholder and first elected as a director within twenty-four months of the proposed transaction, will not be counted in determining whether the transaction is approved by such directors; or

In which a majority of directors whose votes are entitled to be counted under Section 3(a) determines that the fair market value of the consideration to be received by noninterested shareholders for shares of any class of which shares are owned by any interested shareholder is not less than the highest fair market value of the consideration paid by any interested shareholder in acquiring shares of the same class within twenty-four months of the proposed transaction.

. This Article may be amended or repealed only by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to be counted under this Section 4. All outstanding shares entitled to vote under applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation will be entitled to be counted under this Section 4, except shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder may not be counted to determine whether shareholders have voted to approve the amendment or repeal. The vote of the shares owned by or voted under the control of an interested shareholder, however, will be counted in determining whether the amendment or repeal is approved under other provisions of applicable law and for purposes of determining a quorum.

. The requirements imposed by this Article are to be in addition to, and not in lieu of, requirements imposed on any transaction by any provision of applicable law, or any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation, or the Bylaws or otherwise.

CONSIDERATION OF NON-MONETARY FACTORS

The Board of Directors of the corporation, when evaluating any offer of another party to (a) make a tender or exchange offer for any equity security of the corporation, (b) merge or consolidate the corporation with another corporation, or (c) purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the corporation, will, in connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best interests of the corporation and its stockholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including without limitation the social and economic effects on the employees, customers, suppliers, and other constituents of the corporation and its subsidiaries and on the communities in which the corporation and its subsidiaries operate or are located.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

. The Board of Directors will consist of not fewer than six individuals. The exact number will be fixed by the Bylaws and may be changed from time to time in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

Section 2. Until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2008, The Board of Directors will be divided into three classes: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3. Each such Class will consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. Until the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2008, each director will serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of shareholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. The terms of office of all directors who are in office immediately prior to the closing of the polls for the election of directors at the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company shall expire at such time. At each annual meeting of shareholders beginning with the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, directors shall not have staggered terms, and the directors shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to prior resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Section 3. In the event of an increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors prior to the 2008 annual meeting, (a) each director then serving as such will nevertheless continue as a director of the Class in which he or she is a member until the 2008 annual meeting, or his or her earlier resignation, removal from office or death, and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease will be apportioned by the Board of Directors among the three Classes of directors so as to maintain such Classes as nearly equal as possible until the 2008 annual meeting.

. No director may be removed from office without cause except by a vote of two-thirds of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, cause for removal will exist only if the Board of Directors has reasonable grounds to believe that the corporation has suffered or will suffer substantial injury as a result of the gross negligence or dishonesty of the director whose removal is proposed.

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES

. The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of its Articles of Incorporation to the extent permitted by the laws of the State of Oregon. All rights of shareholders are granted subject to this reservation.

. The Board of Directors will have full power to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation or to adopt new Bylaws. Nothing herein, however, will deny the concurrent power of the shareholders to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws.

I, the undersigned, declare under the penalties of perjury that I have examined the foregoing and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete.

Approved by the shareholders on April 19, 2010.
