The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, the number of which was fixed by it, subsequent to the issue of shares of such series then outstanding, subject to the limitations and restrictions stated in the resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series. If the number of shares of any series is so decreased, then the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

FIFTH:

 

The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
     


SIXTH:

 

The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless a stockholder demands election by written ballot at a meeting of stockholders and before voting begins or unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

SEVENTH:

 

The number of directors which constitute the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be designated in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

NINTH:

 

To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or as may thereafter be amended, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

 

 

Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

TENTH:

 

At the election of directors of the Corporation, each holder of stock or of any class or classes of a series or series thereof shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which (except for such provision as to cumulative voting) he would be entitled to cast for the election of directors with respect to his shares of stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and he may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for, or for any two or more of them, as he may see fit.

ELEVENTH:

 

Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside of the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

TWELFTH:

 

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

The directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, which classes are hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the next regularly-scheduled annual meeting of stockholders after the filing of this amendment; the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders; and the term of office of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders. For the purposes hereof, the initial Class I, Class II and Class III directors shall be those directors so designated and elected at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held in October 1992.

 

 

At each annual meeting after the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held in October 1992, directors to replace those of the Class whose terms expire at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.

 

 

If the number of directors is hereafter changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes so as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable.

 

 

Any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the Corporation only for cause.

 

 

The number of directors which constitute the whole Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be designated in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

 

Vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors for any reason may be filled only by vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although less than a quorum, at any meeting of the Board of Directors. A person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

FOURTEENTH:

        III.    
Voting Rights.    Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, (i) the holder of record of the share of Series E Preferred shall have a number of votes equal to the number of votes that the holders of the outstanding Exchangeable Non-Voting Shares ("Exchangeable Shares") of Silicon Graphics Canada Limited from time to time, which are not owned by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any person directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control of the Company, would be entitled to if all such Exchangeable Shares were exchanged by the holders thereof for shares of the Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Shares, in each case for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of the Stockholders of the Company, and (ii) in respect of all matters concerning the voting of shares, the Series E Preferred and the common stock of the Company shall vote as a single class.

 

 

        IV.    
Liquidation Preference.    Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, and subject to any prior rights of holders of shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series E Preferred, the holder of the share of Series E Preferred shall be paid an amount equal to $1.00, together with payment to any class of stock ranking equally with the Series E Preferred, and before payment shall be made to holders of any stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series E Preferred (such amount payable with respect to the Series E Preferred being referred to as the "Series E Preferred Liquidation Preference Payment").

 

 

        V.    
Ranking.    The Series E shall rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company in all respects.

 

 

        VI.    
Other Provisions.

 

 

                (a)    Pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Acquisition and Arrangement, dated as of February 6, 1995, by and among the Company, Silicon Graphics Manufacturing S.A., a Swiss corporation and subsidiary of the Company ("
Swissco"), 1103707 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Swissco, and Alias Research Inc., an Ontario corporation, as amended, one share of Series E Preferred is being issued to the trustee (the "Trustee") under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, dated as of June 15, 1995 by and between the Company, Swissco, Silicon Graphics Canada Limited ("SGCL") and the Trustee.

 

 

                (b)    The holder of the share of Series E Preferred is entitled to exercise the voting rights attendant thereto in such manner as such holder desires.

 

 

                (c)    At such time as the Series E Preferred has no votes attached to it because there are no Exchangeable Shares of Alias outstanding which are not owned by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any person directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control of the Company, and there are no shares of stock, debts, options or other agreements of SGCL which could give rise to the issuance of any Exchangeable Shares of SGCL to any person (other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any person directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control of the Company), the Series E Preferred shall be cancelled.
