ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF
TEKTRONIX, INC.
Pursuant to ORS 57.370, these Articles of Amendment were adopted by
the undersigned corporation:
1. The name of the corporation is TEKTRONIX, INC.
2. The amendment changes Article VII of the Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the corporation. Article VII as amended reads as follows:
ARTICLE VII
A. The corporation shall, in accordance with this Article,
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 he 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 expenses, including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he 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 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 he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
B. The corporation shall, in accordance with this Article,
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 he 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 expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of 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 his 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 circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such
court shall deem proper.
C. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs A and B of this Article
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
entitled to indemnification as of right against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith. Any other indemnification under paragraphs A and B of this
Article, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation
upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs A and B of this Article.
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, who may be regular counsel,
for the corporation, in a written opinion, or (iii) by the
shareholders.
D. Expenses incurred in connection with an action, suit or
proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
2
E. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be
entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
directors or otherwise, both as to action in any official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding an office, and shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
of such person.
F. The corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability under the provisions of this Article.
G. Any person other than a director or officer who is or was an
employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may
be indemnified to such extent as the board of directors in its
discretion at any time or from time to time may authorize.
3. The amendment was adopted by the shareholders of the corporation on
September 15, 1973.
4. At the time of adoption of the amendment, there were 8,174,824 of the
corporation's common shares, without par value, outstanding and entitled to vote
on the amendment.
5. 7,062,521 shares voted for the amendment and 52,098 shares voted against
the amendment.

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF
TEKTRONIX, INC.
Pursuant to ORS 57.360(1), these Articles of Amendment were adopted by
the undersigned corporation:
1. The name of the corporation is TEKTRONIX, INC.
2. The amendment changes Article III of the Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the corporation. Article III, as amended, reads as follows:
ARTICLE III
1. The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have
authority to issue is sixty-one million (61,000,000) shares, divided into sixty
million (60,000,000) Common Shares, without par value, and one million
(1,000,000) shares of No Par Serial Preferred Shares, without par value.
2. The preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of
each class shall be as follows:
(i) No Par Serial Preferred Shares.
(a) Division Into Series. The corporation's board of directors is
hereby expressly granted authority to divide any or all shares of the
corporation's Preferred Shares into series designated " % No Par Serial
Preferred Shares" (inserting in each case the annual dividend rate, as
fixed and determined by the board of directors for each series) and to fix
and determine from time to time and to the extent permitted by law the
relative powers, rights and preferences of the shares of such series and
the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof. Failure of the
board of directors to specify any rights and preferences in the resolution
establishing any series of the Preferred Shares shall be deemed a denial of
any such rights and preferences so omitted.
(b) Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares of each series
shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of
directors, dividends at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined
for such series, if any, and no more, in preference to or in such relation
to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of shares
as hereinafter set forth. Such dividends shall not be cumulative.
Computation of the amount of
dividends accrued in respect of a fraction of a year shall be on the basis
of a 360- day year. In case dividends for any period are not paid in full,
all shares of Preferred Shares of all series shall participate ratably in
the payment of dividends for such period in proportion to the full amounts
of such dividends for such period to which they are respectively entitled.
Unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. No dividend shall be declared or
paid or set apart for payment in any fiscal year on the Common Shares or on
any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends
subordinate to the Preferred Shares, other than dividends payable in Common
Shares or in any other class of shares of the corporation ranking as to
dividends subordinate to the Preferred Shares, and no payment shall be made
to any sinking fund for the Preferred Shares or for any other class of
shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends on a parity with or
subordinate to the Preferred Shares, until all dividends for such fiscal
year at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined for all
outstanding shares of each series of Preferred Shares have been declared
and paid, or set apart for payment, in full.
(c) Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law or by
the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, shares of Preferred
Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the
shareholders. On any matter as to which voting of the Preferred Shares
shall be required by law or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, such shares shall be entitled to one vote per share and all series
thereof shall vote as one class.
(d) Liquidation. The holders of Preferred Shares of each series
shall be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution of the
assets of the corporation, whether capital or surplus, shall be made to or
set apart for the holders of the Common Shares or any other series or class
of shares ranking junior to such series of Preferred Shares as to rights
upon liquidation, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of the corporation, voluntary or involuntary, the amount fixed and
determined for such series, together with all dividends declared and unpaid
thereon to the date of final distribution, and no more. If, upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets of
the corporation distributable among the holders of the Preferred Shares
shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid,
then such assets shall be distributed among such holders ratably in
proportion to the full amounts which would be payable on such shares if all
amounts payable thereon were paid in full. Neither the merger nor
consolidation of the corporation into or with any other corporation nor the
merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the
corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any
2
part of the assets of the corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation within the meaning of this
paragraph (d).
(ii) Common Shares. Subject to all the rights and preferences of the
Preferred Shares, the Common Shares shall have the following rights and
limitations:
(a) Dividends. Whenever there shall have been paid or set aside
for payment to the holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares
and to the holders of outstanding shares of any other class of shares
having preference over the Common Shares as to the payment of dividends the
full amount of dividends and of sinking fund or purchase fund or other
retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively
entitled in preference to the Common Shares, then dividends may be paid on
the Common Shares and on any class or series of shares entitled to
participate therewith as to dividends, out of any assets legally available
for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the board of
directors, provided that dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other
class of shares ranking as to dividends and assets subordinate to the
Preferred Shares may be paid without regard to the status of payments to
the holders of Preferred Shares or other classes of shares.
(b) Voting Rights. Holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to
one vote per share on any matter submitted to the shareholders.
(c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation, after there shall have been
paid to or set aside for the holders of the shares of Preferred Shares and
any other class of shares having preference over the Common Shares in the
event of liquidation, the full preferential amounts to which they are
respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Shares and of any class or
series of shares entitled to participate therewith, in whole or in part, as
to the distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive the remaining
assets of the corporation available for distribution.
3. The amendment was adopted by the shareholders of the corporation on
September 24, 1983.
4. At the time of adoption of the amendment, there were 19,105,818 of
the corporation's Common Shares, without par value, outstanding and entitled to
vote on the amendment.

required for the approval or authorization of any "Business Transaction" (as
hereinafter defined) with a "Related Person" (as hereinafter defined) or any
Business Transaction in which a Related Party has an interest (except
proportionately as a shareholder of the corporation); provided, however, that
the 80 percent voting requirement shall not be applicable if either:
(i) The "Continuing Directors" (as hereinafter defined) of the
corporation by at least a majority vote (a) have expressly approved in advance
the acquisition of the outstanding number of Voting Shares that caused such
Related Person to become a Related Person, or (b) have expressly approved such

less than the "Highest Purchase Price" (as hereinafter defined) paid by the
Related Person involved in the Business Transaction in acquiring any of its

2. For purposes of this Article XI:

Related Person or any entity controlled by or under common control with such
Related Person, by the corporation, or any entity controlled by or under common
control with the corporation, (e) any recapitalization of the corporation that
would have the effect of increasing the voting power of a Related Person, (f)
the issuance, sale, exchange or other disposition of any securities of the
corporation, or of any entity controlled by or under common control with the
corporation, to a Related Person by the corporation or by any entity controlled
by or under common control with the corporation, (g) any liquidation, spinoff,
splitoff, splitup or dissolution of the corporation proposed by or on behalf of
a Related Person, and (h) any agreement, contract or other arrangement providing
for any of the transactions described in this definition of Business
Transaction.
(ii) The term "Related Person" shall mean and include (a) any
individual, corporation, association, trust, partnership or other person or
entity (a "Person") which, together with its "Affiliates" (as hereinafter
defined) and "Associates" (as hereinafter defined), "Beneficially Owns" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as in effect at July 12, 1984) in the aggregate 20 percent
or more of the outstanding Voting Shares of the corporation, and (b) any
Affiliate or Associate (other than the corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary
of the corporation) of any such Person. Two or more Persons acting in concert
for the purpose of acquiring, holding
2
or disposing of Voting Shares of the corporation shall be deemed a "Person."
(iii) Without limitation, any share of Voting Shares of the
corporation that any Related Person has the right to acquire at any time
(notwithstanding that Rule 13d-3 deems such shares to be beneficially owned only
if such right may be exercised within 60 days) pursuant to any agreement,
contract, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights,
warrants or options, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be Beneficially Owned by
such Related Person and to be outstanding for purposes of subparagraph (ii)
above.
(iv) For the purposes of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph 1 of
Article XI, the term "other consideration to be received" shall include, without
limitation, Common Shares or other capital stock of the corporation retained by
its existing stockholders, other than any Related Person or other Person who is
a party to such Business Transaction, in the event of a Business Transaction in
which the corporation is the survivor.
(v) The term "Voting Shares" shall mean all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors, considered as one class, and each reference to a
proportion of shares of Voting Shares shall refer to such proportion of the
votes entitled to be cast by such shares.
(vi) The term "Continuing Director" shall mean a director who was
a member of the Board of Directors of the corporation on July 12, 1984; provided
that any person becoming a director subsequent to July 12, 1984 whose election,

vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors shall be considered as
though he or she were a director on July 12, 1984.
(vii) The term "Highest Purchase Price" with respect to a class
or series of Voting Shares shall mean the highest amount of consideration paid
by the Related Person for a Voting Share of such class or series at any time
regardless of whether the share was acquired before or after the Related Person
became a Related Person; provided, however, that the Highest Purchase Price
shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the occurrence of any
reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split or other
readjustment in the number of outstanding Voting Shares of the corporation, or
the declaration of a share dividend thereon. The Highest Purchase Price shall
include any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers' fees
paid by
3
a Related Person with respect to the Voting Shares of the corporation acquired
by such Related Person.
(viii) A Related Person shall be deemed to have acquired a Voting
Share of the corporation at the time when such Related Person became the
Beneficial Owner thereof. With respect to the shares owned by Affiliates,
Associates or other Persons whose ownership is attributed to a Related Person
under the foregoing definition of Related Person, if the price paid by such
Related Person for such shares is not determinable by a majority of the
Continuing Directors, the price so paid shall be deemed to be the higher of (a)

Person or (b) the market price of the shares in question at the time when such
Related Person became the Beneficial Owner thereof.
(ix) The term "Substantial Part" shall mean 10 percent or more of
the fair market value of the total assets of the Person in question, as
reflected on the most recent balance sheet of such Person existing at the time
the shareholders of the corporation would be required to approve or authorize
the Business Transaction involving the assets constituting any such Substantial
Part.
(x) The term "Affiliate," used to indicate a relationship with a
specified Person, shall mean a Person that directly, or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common
control with, the Person specified.
(xi) The term "Associate," used to indicate a relationship with a
specified Person, shall mean (a) any entity of which such specified Person is an
officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10
percent or more of any class of equity securities, (b) any trust or other estate
in which such specified Person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to
which such specified Person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary
capacity, (c) any relative or spouse of such specified Person, or any relative
of such spouse, who has the same home as such specified Person or who is a
director or officer of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and (d) any
Person who is a director or officer of such specified entity or any of its
parents or subsidiaries (other than the corporation or an entity controlled by
or under control with the corporation).
3. For the purposes of this Article XI, a majority of the Continuing
Directors shall have the power to make a good faith determination, on the basis
of information known to them, of: (i) the number of Voting Shares that any
Person Beneficially Owns, (ii) whether a Person is an Affiliate or
4
Associate of another, (iii) whether a Person has an agreement, contract,

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF
TEKTRONIX, INC.
Pursuant to the Oregon Business Corporation Act, these Articles of
Amendment were adopted by the undersigned corporation:
1. The name of the corporation is TEKTRONIX, INC.
2. On September 26, 1987, the following two amendments to the Restated
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the corporation were approved by
shareholders:
Article III is amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE III
1. The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have
authority to issue is eighty-one million (81,000,000) shares, divided into
eighty million (80,000,000) Common Shares, without par value, and one million
(1,000,000) shares of No Par Serial Preferred Shares, without par value.
2. The preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of
each class shall be as follows:
(i) No Par Serial Preferred Shares.
(a) Division Into Series. The corporation's board of directors is
hereby expressly granted authority to divide any or all shares of the
corporation's Preferred Shares into series designated " % No Par Serial
Preferred Shares" (inserting in each case the annual dividend rate, as
fixed and determined by the board of directors for each series) and to fix
and determine from time to time and to the extent permitted by law the
relative powers, rights and preferences of the shares of such series and
the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof. Failure of the
board of directors to specify any rights and preferences in the resolution
establishing any series of the Preferred Shares shall be deemed a denial of
any such rights and preferences so omitted.
(b) Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares of each series
shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of
directors, dividends at the rate which shall have been fixed and determined
for such series, if any, and no more, in preference to or in such relation
to the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of shares
as hereinafter set forth. Such dividends shall not be cumulative.
Computation of the amount of dividends accrued in respect of a fraction of
a year shall be on the basis of a 360-day year. In case dividends for any
period are not paid in full, all shares of Preferred Shares of all series
shall participate ratably in the payment of dividends for such period in
proportion to the full amounts of such dividends for such period to which
they are respectively entitled. Unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.
No dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment in any
fiscal year on the Common Shares or on any other class of shares of the
corporation ranking as to dividends subordinate to the Preferred Shares,
other than dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other class of
shares of the corporation ranking as to dividends subordinate to the
Preferred Shares, and no payment shall be made to any sinking fund for the
Preferred Shares or for any other class of shares of the corporation
ranking as to dividends on a parity with or subordinate to the Preferred
Shares, until all dividends for such fiscal year at the rate which shall
have been fixed and determined for all outstanding shares of each series of
Preferred Shares have been declared and paid, or set apart for payment, in
full.
(c) Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law or by
the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, shares of Preferred
Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the
shareholders. On any matter as to which voting of the Preferred Shares
shall be required by law or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, such shares shall be entitled to one vote per share and all series
thereof shall vote as one class.
(d) Liquidation. The holders of Preferred Shares of each series
shall be entitled to receive, before any payment or distribution of the
assets of the corporation, whether capital or surplus, shall be made to or
set apart for the holders of the Common Shares or any other series or class
of shares ranking junior to such series of Preferred Shares as to rights
upon liquidation, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of the corporation, voluntary or involuntary, the amount fixed and
determined for such series, together with all dividends declared and unpaid
thereon to the date of final distribution, and no more. If, upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets of
the corporation distributable among the holders of the Preferred Shares
shall be insufficient to pay in full
2
the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets shall be distributed
among such holders ratably in proportion to the full amounts which would be
payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.
Neither the merger nor consolidation of the corporation into or with any
other corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation
into or with the corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any
part of the assets of the corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation within the meaning of this
paragraph (d).
(ii) Common Shares. Subject to all the rights and preferences of the
Preferred Shares, the Common Shares shall have the following rights and
limitations:
(a) Dividends. Whenever there shall have been paid or set aside
for payment to the holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares
and to the holders of outstanding shares of any other class of shares
having preference over the Common Shares as to the payment of dividends the
full amount of dividends and of sinking fund or purchase fund or other
retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively
entitled in preference to the Common Shares, then dividends may be paid on
the Common Shares and on any class or series of shares entitled to
participate therewith as to dividends, out of any assets legally available
for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the board of
directors, provided that dividends payable in Common Shares or in any other
class of shares ranking as to dividends and assets subordinate to the
Preferred Shares may be paid without regard to the status of payments to
the holders of Preferred Shares or other classes of shares.
(b) Voting Rights. Holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to
one vote per share on any matter submitted to the shareholders.
(c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation, after there shall have been
paid to or set aside for the holders of the shares of Preferred Shares and
any other class of shares having preference over the Common Shares in the
event of liquidation, the full preferential amounts to which they are
respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Shares and of any class or
series of shares entitled to participate therewith, in whole or in part, as
to the distribution of assets, shall be entitled to receive the remaining
assets of the corporation available for distribution.
3
A new Article XII is added as follows:
ARTICLE XII
No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the
corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a
director; provided that this Article XII shall not eliminate the liability
of a director for any act or omission for which such elimination of
liability is not permitted under the Oregon Business Corporation Act. No
amendment to the Oregon Business Corporation Act that further limits the
acts or omissions for which elimination of liability is permitted shall
affect the liability of a director for any act or omission which occurs
prior to the effective date of such amendment.
3. At the time of adoption of the amendments, there were 31,038,485 of
the corporation's Common Shares, without par value, and no Preferred Shares,
without par value, outstanding and entitled to vote on the amendments.
4. Of the total outstanding shares entitled to vote, 23,131,032 shares

PLAN OF MERGER
THIS PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of September 16, 1987, made and entered

CAE Systems, Inc., a California corporation ("CAE");
WHEREAS, CAE is a California corporation and has authorized capital
stock consisting of 100 shares of Common Stock, of which 100 shares are issued

corporation; and
WHEREAS, Tektronix is an Oregon corporation owning 100 percent of the
outstanding shares of CAE; and
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Tektronix and CAE deem
it advisable and to the advantage of the said corporations that CAE be merged

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, CAE will be merged into Tektronix on

sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"), with the result that
Tektronix shall survive such Merger and shall succeed, without transfer, to all
the rights and property of CAE, and shall be subject to all the debts and
liabilities of CAE, in the same manner as if the Surviving Corporation had
itself incurred them, and shall continue to exist under, and be governed by, the

(b) Each share of Common Stock of Tektronix issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Date shall remain outstanding without change
by virtue of the Merger.
4. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Plan of Merger, the
respective Boards of Directors of Tektronix and CAE, at any time before or after
approval by the shareholders of either or both corporations, and prior to the
Effective Date of the Merger herein contemplated, and for any reason they may
deem
sufficient and proper, shall have the power and authority to abandon and refrain
from making effective the contemplated merger as set forth herein; in which case
this Plan of Merger shall thereby be canceled and become null and void.

Pursuant to the Oregon Business Corporation Act, these Articles of
Amendment were adopted by the undersigned corporation:
1. The name of the corporation is Tektronix, Inc.
2. On August 16, 1990, the following amendment to the Restated
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the corporation was duly adopted by
the Board of Directors pursuant to ORS 60.134:
Article XIII is added to read as follows:
ARTICLE XIII
This Article XIII sets forth the designation, preferences, limitations
and relative rights of a series of No Par Preferred Shares of the corporation as
determined by the board of directors of the corporation pursuant to its
authority under Oregon Revised Statutes 60.134 and Section 3 of Article III of
these Restated Articles of Incorporation.
1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as
"Series A No Par Preferred Shares" and the number of shares constituting such
series shall be 80,000.
2. Dividends and Distributions.
(i) The holders of shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall be
entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, out of
funds legally available for the purpose, dividends in an amount per share equal
to 1,000 (the "Adjustment Number") multiplied by the aggregate per share amount
of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number multiplied by the aggregate per
share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions
other than a dividend payable in Common Shares or a subdivision of the
outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the
Common Shares, without par value, of the corporation (the "Common Shares") after
the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A No Par
Preferred Shares.
(ii) The corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Series A No Par Preferred Shares as provided in subparagraph 2(1) at the same
time that it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Shares (other
than a dividend payable in Common Shares).
(iii) Dividends shall not be cumulative. Unpaid dividends shall not
bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series A No Par Preferred Shares in an
amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and
payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis
among all such shares at the time outstanding.
3. Voting Rights. The holders of Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall
have the following voting rights:
(i) Each Series A No Par Preferred Share shall entitle the holder
thereof to the number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number then in effect on
all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the corporation.
(ii) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of
Series A No Par Preferred Shares and the holders of Common Shares shall vote
together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the
corporation.
4. Certain Restrictions.
(i) Whenever dividends or distributions payable on the Series A No Par
Preferred Shares as provided in Section 2 have not been declared or paid for any
fiscal year, until all such dividends and distributions for such fiscal year on
Series A No Par Preferred Shares outstanding shall have been declared and paid
in full, the corporation shall not in such fiscal year
(a) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions
on any shares of stock ranking junior or on a parity (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A
No Par Preferred Shares except dividends paid ratably on the Series A No
Par Preferred Shares and all such parity stock on which dividends are
payable in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are then entitled and dividends or distributions payable in Common
Shares;
(b) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Series A
No Par Preferred Shares or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the
Series A No Par Preferred Shares, except in accordance with a purchase
offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the board of
directors) to all holders of such shares upon
2
such terms as the board of directors, after consideration of the
respective dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of
the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will
result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or
classes.
(ii) The corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the corporation unless the corporation could, under subparagraph 4(i),
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
5. Restriction on Issuance of Shares; Reacquired Shares. The corporation
shall not issue any Series A No Par Preferred Shares except upon exercise of
rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of August
16, 1990, between the corporation and First Chicago Trust Company of New York
(the "Rights Agreement"), a copy of which is on file with the secretary of the
corporation at its principal executive office and shall be made available to
shareholders of record without charge upon written request. Any Series A No Par
Preferred Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the corporation in any
manner whatsoever may be restored to the status of authorized but unissued
shares after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon any such
restoration become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Shares and may be
reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Shares to be created by the board
of directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth
herein.
6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
(i) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or
winding up of the corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A No Par Preferred Shares unless, prior
thereto, the holders of shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall have
received the Adjustment Number multiplied by the per share amount to be
distributed to holders of Common Shares, plus an amount equal to declared and
unpaid dividends and distributions thereon to the date of such payment (the
"Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of
the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made
to the holders of shares of Series A No Par Preferred Shares.
(ii) In the event that there are not sufficient assets available to
permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the
liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Shares, if any, which
rank senior to or on a parity with the Series A No Par Preferred Shares, then
assets shall be distributed first to holders of any series of
3
Preferred Shares ranking senior to the Series A No Par Preferred Shares to the
extent of their liquidation preferences and such remaining assets shall be
distributed ratably to the holders of Series A No Par Preferred Shares and such
parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.
7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the corporation shall enter into any
consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the Common
Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or
any other property, then in any such case the Series A No Par Preferred Shares
shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share
equal to the Adjustment Number multiplied by the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may
be, into which or for which each Common Share is changed or exchanged.
8. Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Adjustment Number. In the event the
corporation shall at any time after September 7, 1990 (the "Rights Declaration
Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Shares payable in shares of Common
Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combine the
outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such
case the Adjustment Number for all purposes of this Article XIII shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Number then in effect by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after
such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the corporation shall
at any time after the Rights Declaration Date, fix a record date for the
issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record
date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible into
Common Shares at a price per Common Shares (or having a conversion price per
share, if a security convertible into Common Shares) less than the then Current
Per Share Market Price of the Common Shares (as defined in Section 11(d) of the
Rights Agreement) on such record date, then in each such case the Adjustment
Number for all purposes of this Article XIII shall be adjusted by multiplying
the Adjustment Number then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number
of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into
which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible) and
the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on
such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (and/or the
aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be
offered) would purchase at such
4
Current Per Share Market Price (as defined in Section 11(d) of the Rights
Agreement). In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part
or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such
consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the board of directors.
Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the corporation shall not be
deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event
that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Adjustment Number
shall be readjusted as if such record date had not been fixed; and to the extent
such rights, options or warrants are issued but not exercised prior to their
expiration, the Adjustment Number shall be readjusted to be the number which
would have resulted from the adjustment provided for in this paragraph 8 if only
the rights, options or warrants that were exercised had been issued.
9. No Redemption. The Series A No Par Preferred Shares shall not be
redeemable at the option of the corporation or any holder thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the corporation may acquire Series A No
Par Preferred Shares in any other manner permitted by law.
10. Amendment. Subsequent to the Distribution Date (as defined in the
Rights Agreement) these articles of incorporation shall not be further amended
in any manner which would materially alter or change the preferences,
limitations and relative rights of the Series A No Par Preferred Shares so as to
affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Series A No Par Preferred Shares, voting separately as a
class.
11. Fractional Shares. Series A No Par Preferred Shares may be issued in
fractions of a share in integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share,
which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holders' fractional
shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in
distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A
No Par Preferred Shares.
