THIRD: The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by 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”).

FOURTH: The aggregate number of shares that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 13,000 divided into 5,000 shares of common stock each with the par value of $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and 8,000 shares of preferred stock designated as “Presbia USA New Preferred Stock” (the “Presbia USA New Preferred Shares” or the “Presbia USA New Preferred Stock”) each with the par value of $0.01 per share.  

The shares of the Corporation previously designated as “Preferred Stock” pursuant to Article FOURTH of the Corporation’s prior Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 13, 2018 (the “Old Preferred Shares”) are being exchanged for Presbia USA New Preferred Shares pursuant to a Securities Purchase & Exchange Agreement by and among Presbia PLC, the Corporation and the Buyer signatory thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”) closing concomitantly with the effectiveness (for accounting purposes only) of this new Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as of 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 10, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), and as a result, effective as of the Effective Time, none of the formerly authorized Old Preferred Shares are outstanding and none will be issued, and accordingly the Old Preferred Shares are eliminated from this new Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

The rights, preferences and privileges of the Common Stock and the Presbia USA New Preferred Stock are set forth in Article FIFTH below.

(a)Distribution of Assets on Liquidation. Within ten (10) days after the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation, the Liquidation Preference specified for each share of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock then held by them before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Common Stock. If upon the Liquidation Event, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Presbia USA New Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Liquidation Preference for their shares, then the holders of shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full under this subsection (a).

(b)Remaining Assets. After the payment to the holders of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock of the full preferential amount specified above, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Common Stock.

(c)Determination of Value if Proceeds Other than Cash. In any Liquidation Event, if the proceeds received by the Corporation or its stockholders are other than cash, the value of such proceeds will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

(i)Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (ii) below:

(A)If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event;

(B)If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and

(C)If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(ii)The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (i)(A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

4.Intentionally Deleted.

(i)effect any alteration, repeal, change or amendment of the rights, privileges or preferences of the Presbia USA New Preferred Stock in a manner that adversely affects the rights, privileges or preferences of the Presbia USA New Preferred Stock;

7.Redemption.

(a)Redemption.

(i)Shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation out of funds lawfully available therefor at a price equal to the Original Issue Price per share, plus all Accruing Dividends and any declared but unpaid dividends thereon (the “Redemption Price”), upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event. In such event, the Corporation shall apply all of its assets to any such redemption, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders.

(ii)Prior to the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall have the unconditional unilateral right to redeem any Presbia USA New Preferred Share at any time for the Redemption Price, and the Corporation will have the irrevocable authority to authorize and instruct the Corporation secretary (or any other person appointed for the purpose by the directors) to redeem the Presbia USA New Preferred Shares and to execute on behalf of the holders of Presbia USA New Preferred Shares such documents as are necessary in connection with such redemption. For avoidance of doubt, the Corporation's right to redeem any Presbia USA New Preferred Shares can only be exercised after approval of a majority of the members of the Corporation's board of directors that are independent of the holders of the Presbia USA New Preferred Shares being redeemed.

(b)Redemption Notice. The Corporation shall send written notice of any redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Each Redemption Notice shall state:

(i)the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price; and

(ii)that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

(c)Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the

8


owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

(d)Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

8.Reissuance of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock. In the event that any shares of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise repurchased by the Corporation, the shares so redeemed or repurchased shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred by the Corporation. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to holders of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock following redemption.

9.Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Article FIFTH to be given to the holders of Presbia USA New Preferred Stock shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery; (b) when sent by facsimile with confirmed transmission, on the day sent if sent during normal business hours of the recipient of such day, or if not sent during such normal business hours, then on the next Business Day; or (c) two (2) Business Days after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification from such courier of delivery to such recipient, in each case addressed to each holder of record at such holder's address appearing on the books of the Corporation.

Any amendment, repeal or modification of the provisions of this Article TENTH shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer or other person existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

ELEVENTH: From time to time any of the provisions of this certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered or repealed, 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 and at the time prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the stockholders of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article ELEVENTH.
