 SEVENTH: (a) Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. To the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director. Without
limiting the foregoing in any respect, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this provision shall not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification. 
 (b)
Indemnification and Insurance. 
 (i) Right to Indemnification. (A) Each person who was or is made a party
or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or
she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or serves, in any capacity, any corporation, partnership or other entity in which the Corporation has a partnership or other interest, including without limitation
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding ii alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in case of any such amendment, only to the extent that

  
 2 

 
such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and
loss (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; and (B) the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless in such manner
any person designated by the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, as a person subject to this indemnification provision, and who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that he, she
or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was serving at the request of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise whether such request is made before or after the acts taken or allegedly taken or events occurring or allegedly occurring which give rise to such proceeding; provided, however, that, except as provided in subsection (b)(ii) of this
Article SEVENTH, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification pursuant to this subsection (i) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was
authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred herein shall be a contract right based upon an offer from the Corporation which shall be deemed to have been made to a person subject to clause
(A) of this subsection (i) on the date hereof and to a person subject to clause (B) of this subsection (i) on the date designated by the Board of Directors, shall be deemed to be accepted by such person’s service or
continued service as a director or officer of the Corporation for any period after the offer is made and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as the director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including without limitation service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this subsection (i) or otherwise. The
Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees or agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. 

  
 3 

 (ii) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section (b)(i) of
this Article SEVENTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring Suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the
claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the
Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
 (iii) Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to
indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section (b) shall not be exclusive of any right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. 

(iv) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. 
 (v) Severability. If any subsection of this
Section (b) shall be deemed to be invalid or ineffective in any proceedings, the remaining subsections hereof shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect. 

EIGHTH: 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.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being the incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose
of forming a corporation pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby make and file this Certificate of Incorporation, hereby declaring and certifying that the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly has
hereunto set the incorporator’s hand this 29th day of October, 2002.
