1. The name under which the Corporation was originally incorporated is Seventy Seven Energy Inc., and the date of filing of the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware is July 22, 2016.

2. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted by the Stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Section 245 and Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

3. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Seventy Seven Energy Inc. is hereby amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as follows:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is Seventy Seven Energy Inc. (the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. 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 corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Corporation shall have all power necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of such acts and activities.

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one thousand (1,000) shares of common stock, par value of one cent ($0.01) per share.

FIFTH: In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by the DGCL, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation.

SIXTH: Unless and except to the extent that the bylaws of the Corporation so provide, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.

SEVENTH: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

EIGHTH: To the fullest extent that the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no person who is or was a director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or amendment of this Article EIGHTH by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article EIGHTH will, unless otherwise required by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors) and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

NINTH:

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,

criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is 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, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The right to indemnification conferred by this Article NINTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for the expenses under this Article NINTH or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article NINTH shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article NINTH, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

(b) The Corporation hereby acknowledges that certain indemnitees (the “Specified Persons”) may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by a third party (directly or through insurance obtained by any such entity) (collectively, the “Third Party Indemnitors”). The Corporation hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to the Specified Persons, (ii) it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Specified Persons, as required by the terms of this Article NINTH, without regard to any rights the Specified Persons may have against the Third Party Indemnitors and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Third Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Third Party Indemnitors with respect to any claim for which the Specified Persons have sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Third Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Specified Persons against the Corporation. These rights shall be a contract right.

(c) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Article NINTH shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(d) Any repeal or amendment of this Article NINTH by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article NINTH, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(e) This Article NINTH shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

TENTH: The Corporation reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend, change, or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and, except as set forth in Article NINTH, all rights, preferences and privileges of any nature

conferred upon directors, stockholders, or any other persons by and pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the rights reserved in this Article TENTH.
