ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
Section 7.1. Third-Party Actions. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo
contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such person had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
The Corporation may indemnify any employee or agent of the Corporation, or any employee or agent serving at the request of the
Corporation as an employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in the manner and to the extent that it shall indemnify any director or officer under this Section 7.1.
Section 7.2. Derivative Actions. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made with
respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court
shall deem proper.
Section 7.3. Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 7.1 (Third Party Actions) or 7.2 (Derivative Actions) of this Article 7 (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 (Third Party Actions) or Section 7.2 (Derivative Actions) of this Article 7. Such determination shall be made (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.
Section 7.4. Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 7, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 7.1 (Third Party Actions) or Section 7.2 (Derivative Actions) of this Article 7, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 7.5. Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation on behalf of a director,
officer, employee or agent in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or
agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 7.
Section 7.6. Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article 7 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7.7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such
person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against liability under the provisions of this Article 7 or the WBCA.
Section 7.8. Definitions of Certain Terms. For purposes of this Article 7, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any
constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents,
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article 7 with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent
Corporation if its separate existence had continued.
For purposes of this Article 7, references
to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include
any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a
person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation” as referred to in this Article 7.
Section 7.9. Liability of Directors. Notwithstanding any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or any other provision herein, no director shall be personally liable to
the Corporation or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 23B.08.310 of the WBCA or any amendment thereto or successor
provision thereto or shall be liable by reason that, in addition to any and all other requirements for such liability, he or she (i) shall have breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) shall not have acted in
good faith, (iii) shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or (iv) shall have
derived an improper personal benefit.

CERTIFICATED SHARES
Section 8.1. Certificated Shares. The Shares the Corporation may be represented by certificates; provided, however, that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any
class or series shall be uncertificated shares that may be evidenced by a book-entry system maintained by the registrar of such stock. If shares are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in the form, other than bearer form,
approved by the board of directors. The certificates representing shares of stock of each class shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation, by any two (2) authorized officers of the Corporation. Any or all such signatures may be
facsimiles. Although any officer, transfer agent or registrar whose manual or facsimile signature is affixed to such a certificate ceases to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate has been issued, it may nevertheless
be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were still such at the date of its issue.
The name and address of each stockholder, the number and class of shares held and the date on which the certificates for the shares were
issued shall be entered on the books of the Corporation. The person in whose name shares stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Corporation.
Section 8.2. Lost Certificates. If a certificate representing Shares has allegedly been lost or destroyed the board of directors, the president or the treasurer may in their
discretion, except as may be required by law, direct that a new certificate be issued upon such indemnification and other reasonable requirements as it may impose.
Section 8.3. Issuance. Shares (both treasury and authorized but unissued) may be issued for such consideration (but not less than par value) and to such persons as the board
of directors may determine from time to time.
Section 8.4. Payment for
Shares.
(a) The consideration for the
issuance of shares will consist of money paid to, labor done (including services actually performed) for, or property (tangible or intangible) actually received by the Corporation.
(b) In the absence of fraud
in the transaction, the judgment of the board of directors as to the value of consideration received will be conclusive.
(c) When consideration, fixed
as provided by law, has been paid, the shares will be deemed to have been issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
Section 8.5. Registration of Transfer. The Corporation will register the transfer of shares if:
(a) The registered owner or
his or her duly authorized attorney requests the transfer to another person; and
(b) If the board of directors
so requires, the signature of such person has been guaranteed by a national banking institution or member of the New York Stock Exchange.
Section 8.6. Registered Owner. Prior to transfer of shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notices, and
otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of a member. The Corporation (unless expressly required by the laws of the State of Washington) will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of
any person other than the registered owner, whether or not the Corporation has express or other notice of such claim or interest.
Section 8.7. Fixing Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any
adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting,
nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record
date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 8.8. Registered
Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of Shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a
person registered on its books as the owner of Shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or Shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Washington.

not in calculating the majority necessary to carry the vote; or
(ii) to the stockholders and
they nevertheless authorize or ratify the contract or transaction by a majority of the Shares present at a meeting considering such contract or transaction, each such interested person (stockholder) to be counted in determining whether a quorum is
present and for voting purposes; or

transaction is fair to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized or ratified by the board of directors (or committee thereof) or the stockholders.
