FIRST: The name of this corporation (the “Corporation”) is SILGAN HOLDINGS INC.

SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “GCL”), and, in general, to possess and exercise all the powers and privileges granted by the GCL or by any other law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, together with any powers incidental thereto, so far as such powers and privileges are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business or purposes of the Corporation.

FOURTH: A. The number of directors of the Corporation constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be seven. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes with the term of office of the first class (the “Class I Directors”) to expire at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class (the “Class II Directors”) to expire at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of the third class (the “Class III Directors”) to expire at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. There shall be two Class I Directors, two Class II Directors, and three Class III Directors. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders of the year in which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation or removal from office. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason, and any directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by the Board of Directors (and not by the stockholders), acting by a majority of the directors then in office, and any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen and until their successors shall be elected and qualified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock (as defined in Article SIXTH) shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the terms of the

director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Subject to the foregoing, at each annual meeting of stockholders the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting.

B. At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the Directors then in office shall be required to constitute a quorum (“Quorum”) for the transaction of business. The approval of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, at a meeting at which a Quorum is present and acting throughout, shall be required to approve all matters submitted to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the approval of a majority of the members of any committee of the Board of Directors shall be required to approve all matters submitted to such committee

C. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the ByLaws of the Corporation), any director or the entire Board of Directors of the Corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of 75% or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) cast at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the provisions of Section C of this Article shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of Preferred Stock.

D. There shall be an Audit Committee consisting of two or more of the directors of the Corporation, who shall perform such functions as shall be established by the Board of Directors.
