SECOND: Registered Office. The Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is at 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, City of Wilmington 19808, county of New Castle. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Service Company.

THIRD: Purpose. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as amended from time to time, the “DGCL”).

FOURTH: Capital Stock. The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 2,200,000,000, consisting of: (x) 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (y) 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable in one or more series as hereinafter provided.

(a) Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided (i) by the DGCL, (ii) by Section (b) of this Article FOURTH, or (iii) by resolutions, if any, of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) fixing the powers, designations, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Preferred Stock, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, the entire voting power of the shares of the Corporation for the election of directors and for all other purposes shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock shall have one vote upon all matters to be voted on by the holders of the Common Stock, and shall be entitled to participate equally in all dividends payable with respect to the Common Stock and to share equally, subject to any rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (as fixed by resolutions, if any, of the Board), in all assets of the Corporation, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or upon any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

(b) Preferred Stock. Subject to the provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board is authorized to fix from time to time by resolution or resolutions the number of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, and to determine the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of any such class or series. Further, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board originally fixing the number of shares constituting any such class or series, the Board is authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such class or series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such class or series subsequent to the issue of shares of that class or series.

FIFTH: Management of Corporation. The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation and for the purpose of creating, defining, limiting and regulating the powers of the Corporation and its directors and stockholders:

(a) The number of directors constituting the Board shall be not fewer than six and not more than fourteen, each of whom shall be a natural person. Subject to any rights of any holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors and the rights granted pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, among the Corporation and certain of its stockholders, to be dated as of the closing date of the Corporation’s initial public offering (as amended from time to time, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), the precise number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed, and may be altered from time to time, only by resolution of the Board.

(b) The directors of the Corporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. One class’s initial term will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, another class’s initial term will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and another class’s initial term will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, with directors of each class to hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock and for so long as the Stockholders’ Agreement is in effect, the then-applicable terms, if any, of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the successors of the directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. In the case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors of the Corporation, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equally as possible. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c) Subject to this Article FIFTH, the election of directors may be conducted in any manner approved by the person presiding at a meeting of the stockholders or the directors, as the case may be, at the time when the election is held and need not be by written ballot.

2

(d) Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances and for so long as the Stockholders’ Agreement is in effect, the then-applicable terms, if any, of the Stockholders’ Agreement, (i) following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and until the first date (the “Director Removal Trigger Date”) on which the Sponsors (as defined in Article EIGHTH) cease collectively to beneficially own (directly or indirectly) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, a director may be removed at any time, either for or without cause, upon affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the votes to which all the stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to cast in any election of directors or class of directors and (ii) from and after the Director Removal Trigger Date, a director may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes to which all the stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to cast in any election of directors or class of directors.

(e) Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances and for so long as the Stockholders’ Agreement is in effect, the then-applicable terms, if any, of the Stockholders’ Agreement, and except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancy in the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors, from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

(f) All corporate powers and authority of the Corporation (except as at the time otherwise provided by law, by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by the bylaws of the Corporation) shall be vested in and exercised by the Board.

(g) To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended after the date of the filing of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation 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 DGCL, as so amended from time to time.

(h) To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to the directors of the Corporation, provided that, except as otherwise provided in the bylaws of the Corporation, the

3

Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to a director of the Corporation in respect of an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such director, unless such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board. The rights provided by this Article FIFTH, Section (h) shall not limit or exclude any rights, indemnities or limitations of liability to which any director of the Corporation may be entitled, whether as a matter of law, under the bylaws of the Corporation, by agreement, vote of the stockholders, approval of the directors of the Corporation or otherwise.

SIXTH. Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Until the first date (the “Trigger Date”) on which the Sponsors (as defined in Article EIGHTH) cease collectively to beneficially own (directly or indirectly) more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are: (i) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted (but not less than the minimum number of votes otherwise prescribed by law) and (ii) delivered within 60 days of the earliest dated consent so delivered to the Corporation, to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. From and after the Trigger Date, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken only upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders.

SEVENTH. Special Meetings. Subject to the special rights of any series of Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by or at the direction of the Board pursuant to a resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of directors then in office; provided that, until the Trigger Date, a special meeting of the stockholders may also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of record of not less than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. From and after the Trigger Date, the stockholders of the Corporation do not have the power to call a special meeting of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the business conducted at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be limited exclusively to the business set forth in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, and the individual or group calling such meeting shall have exclusive authority to determine the business included in such notice. Any special meeting of the stockholders shall be held either within or without the State of Delaware, at such place, if any, and on such date and time, as shall be specified in the notice of such special meeting. The bylaws of the Corporation may establish procedures regulating the submission by stockholders of nominations and proposals for consideration at meetings of stockholders of the Corporation.
