AMENDED AND RESTATED

 

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

OF

 

REPROS THERAPEUTICS INC.

 

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Repros Therapeutics Inc. (hereinafter the “Corporation”).

 

SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State

of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19801. The name of its registered agent at that 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 as set forth in Title 8 of the Delaware Code (the “DGCL”).

 

FOURTH: The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one thousand (1,000) shares, which shall be shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

FIFTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

 

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

 

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the DGCL, the directors shall have concurrent power with the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of the DGCL.

 

The number of directors of the Corporation shall be as from time to time fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. Election of directors need not be by written ballot except and to the extent the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws so provide.

 

A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under §174 of the DGCL or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after the effective date of this 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. Any repeal or modification of this Article FIFTH, shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring before such repeal or modification of a person serving as a director at the time of such repeal or modification.

 

 

 

 

In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and any bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such bylaws had not been adopted.

 

SIXTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the DGCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.

 

SEVENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, 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 all rights, preferences, privileges and powers conferred in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on stockholders, directors, officers or any other persons subject the rights reserved in this Article SEVENTH.

 

EIGHTH: With respect to the indemnification obligations of the Corporation:

 

1.         Each person who at any time is or was a director of the Corporation, and is threatened to be or is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact such person is or was a director, officer or employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, member, employee, trustee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other for-profit or non-profit enterprise, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in such person’s official capacity or in another capacity while holding such office, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the full extent permitted by law as may be in effect from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment or enactment, only to the extent that such amendment or statute permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law prior to such amendment or enactment permitted the Corporation to provide), against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with a Proceeding, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director of the Corporation or a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, member, employee, trustee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other for-profit or non-profit enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Corporation’s obligations under this Section 1 of Article EIGHTH include, but are not limited to, the convening of any meeting, and the consideration of any matter thereby, required by statute in order to determine the eligibility of any person for indemnification. The Corporation may adopt bylaws or enter into agreements with any such person for the purpose of providing for the indemnification provided in this Section 1 of Article EIGHTH.

 

 

 

 

2.         Expenses incurred by a director of the Corporation in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by, and only in compliance with, applicable laws as may be from time to time be in effect, including, without limitation, any provision of the DGCL which requires, as a condition precedent to such expense advancement, the delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director is not entitled to be indemnified under Section 1 of Article EIGHTH or otherwise. Repayments of all amounts so advanced shall be upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation’s Board of Directors deems appropriate.

 

3.         The Corporation's obligation to indemnify and to prepay expenses under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article EIGHTH shall arise, and all rights granted to the Corporation's directors hereunder shall vest, at the time of the occurrence of the transaction or event to which a Proceeding relates, or at the time that the action or conduct to which such Proceeding relates was first taken or engaged in (or omitted to be taken or engaged in), regardless of when such Proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended Restated Bylaws of the Corporation, no action taken by the Corporation, either by amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation or otherwise shall diminish or adversely affect any rights to indemnification or prepayment of expenses granted under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article EIGHTH which shall have become vested as aforesaid prior to the date that such amendment or other corporate action is effective or taken, whichever is later.

 

4.         If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article EIGHTH or both Sections 1 and 2 of this Article EIGHTH 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 in a court of competent jurisdiction against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall so be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such suit (other than a suit brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition when 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 DGCL or other applicable law to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit as to whether indemnification is proper in the circumstances based upon the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or other applicable law shall neither be a defense to the action nor create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, 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 such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

5.         The indemnification provided by this Article EIGHTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, bylaws, other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Corporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

6.         The rights to indemnification and prepayment of expenses which are conferred on the Corporation's directors by Sections 1 and 2 of this Article EIGHTH may be conferred upon any officer, employee or agent of the Corporation if, and to the extent, authorized by the Board of Directors.

 

7.         The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, member, employee, trustee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other for-profit or non-profit enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the provisions of this Article EIGHTH, the DGCL or other applicable law.
