<div align='center'>17</div>

The board of directors believes that management speaks for our company. Individual directors may, from time to time, meet or otherwise communicate with various constituencies that are involved with our company, but it is expected that directors would do this with knowledge of management and, in most instances, only at the request of management.

In cases where stockholders wish to communicate directly with the non-management directors, messages can be sent by mail to the attention of our corporate secretary at 4637 NW 18th Avenue, Camas, Washington 98607. We will forward such communications, as appropriate, to the appropriate member(s) of the board of directors or, if none is specified, to the chairperson or lead independent director, as applicable.
