including, without limitation, an amendment to these Articles of Incorporation. 
 Section 3. Common Shares. Each common share
shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote, in person or by proxy, at any and all meetings of the shareholders of the corporation, on all propositions before such meetings. Subject to the preferences of any outstanding preferred shares, each

 -2- 

 
ized under the Ohio General Corporation Law are increased, diminished, or in any way affected, or whereby effect is given to any action authorized, ratified,
or approved by less than all the shareholders of any such corporation, shall apply to the corporation and shall bind every shareholder to the same extent as if such statute had been in force at the date of the filing of these articles of
incorporation. 
 EIGHTH: A director or officer of the corporation shall not be disqualified by his office from dealing or contracting with
the corporation as a vendor, purchaser, employee, agent, or otherwise. No transaction or contract or act of the corporation shall be void or voidable or in any way affected or invalidated by reason of the fact that any director or officer, or any
firm of which any director or officer is a shareholder, director, or trustee, or any trust of which any director or officer is a trustee or beneficiary, is in any way interested in such transaction or contract or act. No director or officer shall be
accountable or responsible to the corporation for or in respect to any transaction or contract or act of the corporation or for any gains or profits directly or indirectly realized by him by reason of the fact that he or any firm of which he is a
member or any corporation of which he is a shareholder, director, or trustee, or any trust of which he is a trustee or beneficiary, is interested in such transaction or contract or act; provided the fact that such director or officer or such firm or
corporation or such trust is so interested shall have been disclosed or shall have been known to the board of directors or such members thereof as shall be present at any meeting of the board of directors at which action upon such contract or
transaction or act shall have been taken. Any director may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the board of directors which shall authorize or take action in respect to any such contract or transaction or act, and
may vote thereat to authorize, ratify, or approve any such contract or transaction or act, and any officer of the corporation may take any action within the scope of his authority respecting such contract or transaction or act with like force and
effect as if he or any firm of which he is a member, or any corporation of which he is a shareholder, director, or trustee, or any trust of which he is a trustee or beneficiary, were not interested in such transaction or contract or act. Without
limiting or qualifying the foregoing, if in any judicial or other inquiry, suit, cause, or proceeding, the question of whether a director or officer of the corporation has acted in good faith is material, then notwithstanding any statute or rule of
law or of equity to the contrary (if any there be), his good faith shall be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary by clear and convincing evidence. 
 NINTH: No holder of shares of any class of the corporation shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to subscribe for or purchase shares of any class, now or hereafter authorized, or to purchase or to subscribe
for securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the corporation, or to which shall appertain or be attached 

  

 -3- 

 
any warrants or rights entitling the holder thereto to subscribe for or purchase shares, except such rights of subscription or purchase, if any, at such
price or prices, and upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors in its discretion may from time to time determine. 
 TENTH:
Except as otherwise provided in these Articles of Incorporation or the Code of Regulations of the corporation, notwithstanding any provision of any statute of the State of Ohio, now or hereafter in force, requiring for any purpose the vote, consent,
waiver, or release of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise two-thirds or any other proportion of the voting power of the corporation or of any class or classes of shares thereof, any action may be taken by the vote of the holders of
shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the corporation, or of such class or classes, unless the proportion designated by such statute cannot be altered by these articles.

 OF 
 CARDINAL DISTRIBUTION, INC. 
 Resolved, that Article FIRST, of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of Cardinal Distribution, Inc. be, and the same hereby
is, deleted in its entirety and there is substituted therefor the following: 
 FIRST: The name of the corporation shall be
“Cardinal Health, Inc.” 
 Resolved, that Article FOURTH of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of

Common Shares”), 5,000,000 Class B common shares, without par value (“Class B Common Shares”) (the Class A Common Shares and the Class B Common Shares are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the
“Common Shares”), and 500,000 nonvoting preferred shares, without par value. 
 Section 2. Issuance of
Preferred Shares. The board of directors is authorized at any time, and from time to time, to provide for the issuance of nonvoting preferred shares in one or more series, and to determine to the extent permitted by law the designations,
preferences, limitations, and relative or other rights of the nonvoting preferred shares or any series thereof. For each series, the board of directors shall determine, by resolution or resolutions adopted prior to the issuance of any shares
thereof, the designations, preferences, limitations, and relative or other rights thereof, including but not limited to the following relative rights and preferences, as to which there may be variations among different series: 
 (a) the division of such shares into series and the designation and authorized number of shares of each series,

 (d)
liquidation price, 
 (e) redemption rights and price, 
 (f) sinking fund requirements,

 (h) restrictions on the issuance of such shares. 
 Prior to the issuance of any shares of a series, but after adoption by the board of directors of the resolution establishing such series, the appropriate
officers of the corporation shall file such documents with the State of Ohio as may be required by law including, without limitation, an amendment to these Articles of Incorporation. 
 Section 3. Common Shares. 
 All common shares shall be identical and will entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, except as otherwise provided herein. 
 A. Voting Rights. 
 1. Class A Common Shares. Except as set forth herein or as otherwise required by law, each outstanding Class A Common Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote, in person or by 

 
proxy, at any and all meetings of the shareholders of the corporation, on all propositions before such meetings. 
 2. Class B Common Stock. Except as set forth herein or as otherwise
required by law, each outstanding Class B Common Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one-fifth ( 1/5) of one
vote, in person or by proxy, at any and all meetings of shareholders of the corporation, on all propositions before such meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of the Class B Common Shares shall be entitled to vote as a separate class
on any amendment to this paragraph 2 of this Section A, on the issuance in the aggregate by the corporation of additional Class B Common Shares in excess of the number of Class B Common Shares held by Chemical Equity Associates and its
Affiliates or issuable pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof and on any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of these Articles that adversely affects the powers, preferences or special rights of the holders of the Class B Common
Shares. 
 B. Dividends; Liquidation. Subject to the preferences of any preferred shares, each Common Share
shall be entitled to participate equally in such dividends as may be declared by its board of directors out of funds legally available therefor or to participate equally in all distributions of assets upon liquidation; provided, that in the case of
dividends payable in Common Shares of the Corporation, or options, warrants or rights to acquire such Common Shares, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such Common Shares, the shares, options, warrants, rights or securities so
payable shall be payable in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, Common Shares of the same class upon which the dividend or distribution is being paid. 
 C. Conversion. 
 1. Conversion of Class A Common Shares. Any Regulated Shareholder (defined below) shall be entitled to convert, at any time and from time to time, any or all of the Class A Common Shares held by such
shareholder into the same number of Class B Common Shares. 
 2. Conversion of Class B Common Shares. Each
holder of Class B Common Shares may convert such shares into Class A Common Shares if such holder reasonably believes that such converted shares will be transferred within fifteen (15) days pursuant to a Conversion Event (defined
below) and such holder agrees not to vote any such Class A Common Shares prior to such Conversion Event and undertakes to promptly convert such shares back into Class B Common Shares if such shares are not transferred pursuant to a
Conversion Event. Each Regulated Shareholder may provide for further restrictions or limitations upon the conversion of any Class B Common Shares by providing the corporation with signed, written instructions specifying such additional
restrictions and legending such shares as to the existence of such restrictions. 
 3. Conversion Procedure. Each
conversion of Common Shares of the corporation into shares of another class of Common Shares of the Corporation shall be effected by the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be converted (the “Converting
Shares”) at the principal office of the corporation (or such other office or agency of the corporation as the corporation may designate by written notice to the holders of common shares) at any time during its usual business hours, together
with written notice by the holder of such Converting Shares, stating that such holder desires to convert the Converting Shares, or a stated number of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates, into an equal number of shares of the
class into which such shares may be converted (the “Converted Shares”). Such notice shall also state the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates for Converted Shares are to be issued and
shall include instructions for the delivery thereof. Promptly after such surrender and the receipt of such written notice, the corporation will issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder’s instructions the certificate or
certificates evidencing the Converted Shares issuable upon such conversion, and the corporation will deliver to the converting holder a certificate representing any shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates that were delivered
to the corporation in connection with such conversion, but which were not converted. 

 Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the
date on which such certificate or certificates shall have been surrendered and such notice shall have been received by the corporation, and at such time the rights of the holder of the Converting Shares as such holder shall cease and the person or
persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for the Converted Shares are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Converted Shares. Upon issuance of shares in
accordance with this Section C, such Converted Shares shall be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 
 Each holder of Class B Common Shares shall be entitled to convert Class B Common Shares in connection with any Conversion Event if such holder reasonably believes that such Conversion Event will be
consummated, and a written request for conversion from any holder of Class B Common Shares to the corporation stating such holder’s reasonable belief that a Conversion Event shall occur shall be conclusive and shall obligate the
corporation to effect such conversion in a timely manner so as to enable each such holder to participate in such Conversion Event. The corporation will not cancel the Class B Common Shares so converted before the 15th day following such
Conversion Event and will reserve such shares until such 15th day for reissuance in compliance with the next sentence. If any Class B Common Shares are converted into Class A Common Shares in connection with a Conversion Event and such
Class A Common Shares are not actually distributed, disposed of or sold pursuant to such Conversion Event, such Class A Common Shares shall be promptly converted back into the same number of Class B Common Shares. 
 4. Stock Splits; Adjustments. If the Corporation shall in any manner subdivide (by stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) or
combine (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding Class A Common Shares or the Class B Common Shares, then the outstanding shares of each other class of common shares shall be subdivided or combined, as the case may be, to the
same extent, share and share alike, and effective provision shall be made for the protection of the conversion rights hereunder. 
 In the case of any reorganization, reclassification or change of shares of the Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares (other than a change in par value or from par to no par value as a result of a subdivision or
combination), or in case of any consolidation of the corporation with one or more corporations or a merger of the corporation with another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the corporation is the resulting or surviving
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares), each holder of Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares shall have the right at any
time thereafter, so long as the conversion right hereunder with respect to such share would exist had such event not occurred, to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and properties (including cash)
receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares into which such Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares, as
the case may be, might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation or merger. In the event of any such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation or merger which will have the
effect of causing any Regulated Shareholder’s direct or indirect ownership of shares of capital stock of the resulting or surviving corporation immediately following such transaction to equal or exceed 5% of the voting power thereof (calculated
as if all such Regulated Shareholder’s Class B Common Shares were converted to Class A Common Shares immediately prior to consummation of such transaction) then provision shall be made in the certificate of incorporation of the
resulting or surviving corporation for the protection of the conversion rights of Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares that shall be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any such other shares of stock and other
securities and property deliverable upon conversion of such Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares into which such Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares might have been converted prior to such event. 

 5. Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares or its treasury shares, for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares, such number
of shares of such class as are then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares which may be converted. 
 6. No Charge. The issuance of certificates for shares of any class of common shares upon conversion of shares of any other class of
common shares shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of common shares; provided,
however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the common shares converted.

 D. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings shown below: 
 1. “Affiliates” shall mean with respect to any Person, any other person, directly or indirectly controlling, controlled
by or under common control with such Person. For the purpose of the above definition, the term “control” (including with correlative meaning, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control
with”), as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by
contract or otherwise. 
 2. “Conversion Event” shall mean (a) any public offering or public sale of
securities of the Corporation (including a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and a public sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any similar rule then in force), (b) any sale of
securities of the corporation to a person or group of persons (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) if, after such sale, such person or group of persons in the aggregate would own or
control securities which possess in the aggregate the ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the corporation’s directors (provided that such sale has been approved by the corporation’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof),
(c) any sale of securities of the corporation to a person or group of persons (within the meaning of the 1934 Act) if, after such sale, such person or group of persons in the aggregate would own or control securities of the corporation
(excluding any Class B Common Shares being converted and disposed of in connection with such Conversion Event) which possess in the aggregate the ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the corporation’s directors, (d) any sale
of securities of the corporation to a person or group of persons (within the meaning of the 1934 Act) if, after such sale, such person or group of persons would not, in the aggregate, own, control or have the right to acquire more than two percent
(2%) of the outstanding securities or any class of voting securities of the corporation (for purposes of this clause, treating Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class), and (e) a merger, consolidation or
similar transaction involving the corporation if, after such transaction, a person or group of persons (within the meaning of the 1934 Act) in the aggregate would own or control securities which possess in the aggregate the ordinary voting power to
elect a majority of the surviving corporation’s directors (provided that the transaction has been approved by the corporation’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof). 
 3. “Person” or “person” shall mean an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, a joint
venture, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof.

Shareholder” shall mean Chemical Equity Associates and its Affiliates.

 ARTICLE 1 
 Meetings of Shareholders 
 §1.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders,
for the purpose of electing directors and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting, shall be held on such date and at such time during the first six months of each fiscal year of the Company as may be fixed by the board of
directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. 
 §1.2 Special Meetings. A special meeting of the shareholders may be called
by the chairman of the board, or the president, or a majority of the directors acting with or without a meeting, or the holders of shares entitling them to exercise twenty-five percent of the voting power of the Company entitled to be voted at the
meeting. Upon delivery to the chairman, president, or secretary of a request in writing for a shareholders’ meeting by any persons entitled to call such meeting, the officer to whom the request is delivered shall give notice to the shareholders
of such meeting. Any such request shall specify the purposes and the date and hour for such meeting. The date shall be at least 14 and not more than 65 days after delivery of the request. If such officer does not call the meeting within five days
after any such request, the persons making the request may call the meeting by giving notice as provided in §1.4 or by causing it to be given by their designated representative. 
 §1.3 Place of Meetings. All meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place or places, within or without the State of Ohio, as may be
fixed by the board of directors or, if not so fixed, as shall be specified in the notice of the meeting. 
 §1.4 Notice of
Meetings. A notice of each annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be given to shareholders in accordance with and to the extent required by applicable law by the chairman, president or secretary, or, in case of their refusal or failure
to do so, by the person or persons entitled to call such meeting. Except when expressly required by law, no publication of any notice of a shareholders meeting shall be required. If shares are transferred after notice has been given, notice need not
be given to the transferee. A record date may be fixed for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of §1.13. Only the business provided for in such notice shall be
considered at the meeting. Notice of the adjournment of a meeting need not be given if the time and place to which it is adjourned are fixed and announced at the meeting. 
 §1.5 Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations. 
 (a) Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. 
 (i) Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the Company and the proposal of
other business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (A) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting, (B) by or at the direction of the board of directors of the Company or (C) by
any shareholder of the Company who (I) was a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.5 and at the 

  

 1 

 
time of the annual meeting, (II) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (III) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 as to
such business or nomination. In order to assure that shareholders and the Company have a reasonable opportunity to consider nominations and other business proposed to be brought before a meeting of shareholders and to allow for full information to
be distributed to shareholders, clause (C) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) and included in the Company’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of shareholders. 
 (ii) Without qualification, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i)(C), the shareholder must have given timely
notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices
of the Company not later than the close of business on the 70th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 130th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the
date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 130th day prior to such annual meeting
and not later than the close of business on the later of the 70th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. In no event shall any
adjournment of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this
Section 1.5(a)(ii) or Section 1.5(b)) to the secretary must: 
 (A) set forth, as to the shareholder giving the
notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (I) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Company’s books, and the name and address of such beneficial owner, (II) the
class and number of shares of the Company which are held of record by such shareholder as of the date of the notice, and a representation that the shareholder will notify the Company in writing within five business days after the record date for
such meeting of the class and number of shares of the Company held of record on such record date, (III) the class and number of shares of the Company which are held of record or are beneficially owned (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act) by such beneficial owner as of the date of the notice, and a representation that the shareholder will notify the Company in writing within five business days after the record date for such meeting of the class and number of shares of
the Company beneficially owned by such shareholder and such beneficial 

  

 2 

 
owner on such record date, (IV) any other information relating to such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a
proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (V) such shareholder’s and beneficial owner’s written consent to the public disclosure of information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 1.5; 
 (B) set forth, as to the shareholder giving the notice or, if given on behalf of a beneficial owner, as to the beneficial owner on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made (I) any agreements, arrangements or understandings entered into by the shareholder or beneficial owner, as appropriate, and its affiliates with respect to equity securities of the Company, including any
put or call arrangements, derivative securities, short positions, borrowed shares or swap or similar arrangements, specifying in each case the effect of such agreements, arrangements or understandings on any voting or economic rights of equity
securities of the Company, in each case as of the date of the notice and in each case describing any changes in voting or economic rights which may arise pursuant to the terms of such agreements, arrangements or understandings, (II) to the extent
not covered in clause (I) above, any disclosures that would be required pursuant to Item 5 or Item 6 of Schedule 13D (regardless of whether the requirement to file a Schedule 13D is applicable to the shareholder or beneficial owner),
and (III) a representation that the shareholder will notify the Company in writing within five business days after the record date for such meeting of the information set forth in clause (I) and (II) above as of such record date; 
 (C) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the shareholder proposes to bring
before the meeting, set forth (I) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the
beneficial owner, if any, in such business and (II) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with
the proposal of such business by such shareholder; 
 (D) set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the shareholder proposes
to nominate for election or reelection to the board of directors of the Company (I) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a 

  

 3 

 
contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (II) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the
past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed
nominee, and his respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation
S-K if the shareholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate therewith or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such
rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; 
 (E) set forth a representation that such
shareholder intends to appear at the annual meeting to bring such nomination or other business before the annual meeting; 
 (F) set forth such other information as may reasonably be required by the board of directors of the Company as described in the Company’s proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting; and 
 (G) be followed, within five business days after the record date for such meeting, by the written notice providing the information
described in (A) and (B) above. 
 The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably
be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Company or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of
such nominee. 
 (b) Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of meeting and, other than nominations for election to the board of directors made in accordance with the following provisions, no shareholder may bring before a
special meeting of shareholders any business other than the business specified by the shareholders calling such special meeting in accordance with these regulations. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the Company may be
made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the board of directors of the Company or (ii) provided that the board of
directors of the Company has determined that 

  

 4 

 
directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the Company who (A) is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice
provided for in this Section 1.5 and at the time of the special meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (C) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 as to such nomination. In the event the
Company calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the board of directors of the Company, any such shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s)
as specified in the Company’s notice of meeting, if the shareholder’s notice required by Section 1.5(a)(ii) with respect to any nomination shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not
earlier than the close of business on the 130th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 70th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is
first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors of the Company to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time
period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. 
 (c) General. 
 (i) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 shall be eligible to serve as
directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company or these regulations, the board of directors of the Company (or a designated committee thereof) shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting
was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.5, to declare that such defective proposal or
nomination shall be disregarded. 
 (ii) For purposes of this Section 1.5, “public announcement” shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.5, a shareholder shall also
comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.5; provided, however, that any references in this Section 1.5 to the Exchange Act
or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i)(C) or Section 1.5(b). Nothing in
this Section 1.5 shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to 

  

 5 

 
request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act by satisfying the notice and other
requirements of Rule 14a-8 in lieu of satisfying the requirements of this Section 1.5. 
 §1.6 Waiver of Notice. Any
shareholder, either before or after any meeting, may waive any notice required by law, the articles, or these regulations. Waivers must be in writing and filed with or entered upon the records of the meeting. Notice of a meeting will be deemed to
have been waived by any shareholder who attends the meeting either in person or by proxy, and who does not, before or at the commencement of the meeting, protest the lack of proper notice. 
 §1.7 Quorum. The holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Company entitled to vote at a meeting,
present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except when a greater number is required by law, the articles of incorporation, or these regulations. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any
adjournment of the meeting, the holders of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote may adjourn the meeting from time to time. At any adjourned meeting at

necessary. The board shall have the discretion to determine from time to time the number of vice presidents, if any, the Company shall have, whether or not assistant secretaries and assistant treasurers are needed, and, if so, the number of
assistant secretaries and assistant treasurers the Company shall have. Furthermore, if there is more than one vice president, the board may, in its discretion, establish designations for the vice presidencies so as to distinguish among them as to

these regulations to be executed, acknowledged, or verified by two or more officers. 
 §3.2 Election, Terms of Office,
Qualifications, and Compensation. The officers shall be elected by the board of directors. Each shall be elected for an indeterminate term and shall hold office during the pleasure of the board of directors. The board of directors may hold
annual elections of officers; in that event, each such officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified unless he or she is removed earlier by the board of directors. The chairman of the board shall be a director, but no
other officer need be a director. The other qualifications of all officers shall be such as the board of directors may establish. The board of directors shall fix the compensation, if any, of each officer.

and committees as the board of directors may deem necessary and may appoint, each of whom or each member of which shall hold office for such period, have such authority, and perform such duties as may be provided in these regulations or as may, from
time to time, be determined by the board. The board of directors may delegate to any officer or committee the power to appoint any subordinate officer, agents, or committees. In the absence of any officer, or for any other reason the board of
directors may deem sufficient, the board of directors may delegate, for the time being, the powers and duties, or any of them, of such officer to any other officer, or to any director.

in the manner prescribed for regular appointments or elections to such office.

 ARTICLE 4 
 Shares and Their Transfer 
 §4.1 Certificates for Shares. Every owner of one or more
shares in the Company shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates, which shall be in such form as may be approved by the board of directors, certifying the number and class of shares in the Company owned by him. The certificates for the
respective classes of such shares shall be numbered in the order in which they are issued and shall be signed in the name of the Company by the chairman or the president and the secretary; provided that, if such certificates are countersigned by a
transfer agent or registrar, the signatures of such officers upon such certificates may be facsimiles, stamped, or printed. If an officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been used, stamped, or printed on any certificates ceases to be
such officer because of death, resignation or other reason before such certificates are delivered by the Company, such certificates shall nevertheless be conclusively deemed to be valid if countersigned by any such transfer agent or registrar. A
record shall be kept of the name of the owner or owners of the shares represented by each such certificate and the number of shares represented thereby, the date thereof, and in case of cancellation, the date of cancellation. Every certificate
surrendered to the Company for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificates until such existing certificates shall have been so cancelled, except in cases
provided for in §4.4. 
 §4.2 Transfer of Shares. Any certificate for shares of the Company shall be transferable in person
or by attorney upon the surrender of the certificate to the Company or any transfer agent for the Company (for the class of shares represented by the certificate surrendered) properly endorsed for transfer and accompanied by such assurances as the
Company or its transfer agent may require as to the genuineness and effectiveness of each necessary endorsement. The person in whose name any shares stand on the books of the Company shall, to the full extent permitted by 

  

 12 

 
law, be conclusively deemed to be the unqualified owner and holder of the shares and entitled to exercise all rights of ownership for all purposes relating
to the Company. Neither the Company nor any transfer agent of the Company shall be required to recognize any equitable interest in, or any claim to, any such shares on the part of any other person, whether disclosed on the certificate or any other
way, nor shall they be required to see to the performance of any trust or other obligation. 
 §4.3 Regulations. The board of
directors may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient or advisable, not inconsistent with these regulations, concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates for shares. It may appoint one or more transfer agents or
one or more registrars, or both, and may require all certificates for shares to bear the signature of either or both. 
 §4.4 Lost,
Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. A new share certificate or certificates may be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company which is alleged to have been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken upon: (a) the execution
and delivery to the Company by the person claiming the certificate to have been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken of an affidavit of that fact in form satisfactory to the Company, specifying whether or not the certificate was endorsed at the time
of such alleged loss, destruction or taking, and (b) the receipt by the Company of a surety bond, indemnity agreement, or any other assurances satisfactory to the Company and to all transfer agents and registrars of the class of shares
represented by the certificate against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or claims to which they or any of them may be subjected by reason of the issue and delivery of such new certificate or certificates or with respect to
the original certificate. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 Examination of Books by Shareholders 
 The board of directors may make reasonable rules and regulations prescribing under
what conditions the books, records, accounts, and documents of the Company, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the shareholders. No shareholder shall be denied any right which is conferred by §1701.37, Ohio Revised Code, or any
other applicable law to inspect any book, record, account, or document of the Company. An original or duplicate stock ledger showing the names and addresses of the shareholders and the number and class of shares issued or transferred of record to or
by them from time to time shall at all times during the usual hours for business be open to the examination of every shareholder at the principal office or place of business of the Company in the State of Ohio. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 Indemnification and Insurance

 §6.1 Costs Incurred. The Company shall 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 

  

 13 

 
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent
of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit, 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 provided that: (a) he or she acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; (b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; and
(c) in any action or suit by or in the right of the Company, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any amounts paid in settlement or with respect to 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 or her duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Common Pleas or 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 the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the Court of Common Pleas or such other court shall deem proper. The termination
of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or 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 or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 
 §6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any indemnification under §6.1 shall be made by the Company only if and as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in §6.1. Such determination shall be made
by one of the following methods: (a) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the Company who were not and are not parties to or threatened with any such action, suit, or proceeding; or (b) if such a quorum is not
obtainable or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel retained by the Company, other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with it an attorney, who has been
retained by or who has performed services for the Company or any person to be indemnified within the past five years; or (c) by the shareholders; or (d) by the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio, or the court in which such
action, suit, or proceeding was brought. 
 §6.3 Advance Payment of Costs. Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in
defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in §6.1 may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article. 
 §6.4 Non-Exclusive. The indemnification authorized in this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which persons seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. 
  

 14 

 §6.5 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who
is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign, nonprofit or for profit,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to
indemnify him or her against such liability under this Article or under Chapter 1701, Ohio Revised Code. 
 §6.6 Survival. The
indemnification authorized in this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent. 
 §6.7 Successors. The indemnification authorized in this Article shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of any person entitled to indemnification under this Article. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 Seal 
 The board of directors may adopt and alter a corporate seal and use the same or a facsimile thereof, but failure to affix the corporate seal, if any,

 15 

 ARTICLE 8

 The fiscal year of the Company shall be fixed and may be changed from time to time by
the board of directors. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 Control Share Acquisitions

shares of the Company.

the shareholders held for such purpose by the affirmative vote of the holders of record of shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power on such proposal; or (b) without a meeting of the shareholders, by the written consent
