Aqua Metals, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies as follows:

 

1.            The name of the corporation is Aqua Metals, Inc. and the name under which the corporation was originally incorporated is Aqua Metals, Inc. The date of filing of its original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State was June 20, 2014.

3.             The text of the Certificate of Incorporation as amended and restated or supplemented heretofore is herein set forth in full:

No amendment or repeal of this Article Sixth shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation provided hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

2.             The Corporation may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, any person made, or threatened to be made, a defendant or witness to any action, suit or proceeding (whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such person, or his or her testator or intestate, 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, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which any person may be entitled by law.

 

3.             In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute:

 

(a)             the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan 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 Corporation would have the power to indemnify against such liability under the provisions of law; and

 

 
 

  

(b)             the Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest and/or use other means (including, without limitation, letters of credit, surety bonds and/or other similar arrangements), as well as enter into contracts providing indemnification to the full extent authorized or permitted by law and including as part thereof provisions with respect to any or all of the foregoing to ensure the payment of such amounts as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided therein, or elsewhere.

 

SEVENTH:     Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless a duly adopted bylaw of the Corporation shall so provide.”

 

4.         Upon the filing of this First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each share of common stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding shall be converted into and become a right to receive four thousand eight hundred (4,800) shares of common stock of the Corporation.
