Title: Chief Executive Officer

(1) |
The name of the Corporation is FTAI Infrastructure Inc. The Corporation was originally formed as a Delaware limited liability company under the name FTAI Infrastructure LLC (the “LLC”). The original
Certificate of Formation of the LLC was filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 13, 2021, and a Certificate of Conversion, converting the LLC from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware
corporation, was filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 29, 2022.
|
(2) |
This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates and amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, has been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Sections 242 and
245 of the DGCL by the board of directors and sole stockholder of the Corporation, acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.
|
(3) |
The Certificate of Designations of Series A Senior Preferred Stock of the Corporation is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is hereby incorporated herein by this reference
|
(4) |
This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become effective at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Time) on August 1, 2022 (the “Effective Time”).
|
(5) |
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
|
(1) |
The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
|
(2) |
Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the terms of any Share Designation relating to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Preferred Stock Directors, the number of
Directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, but shall be not fewer than three (3) and no more than nine
(9). The Directors (other than any Preferred Stock Directors) shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of
Directors constituting the whole Board of Directors (other than any Preferred Stock Directors). The initial division of the Board of Directors into classes shall be made by the decision of the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire
Board of Directors. At the time of the execution of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Class I Directors shall have a term expiring on the date of the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the Class II Directors shall have a term expiring
on the date of the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, and the Class III Directors shall have a term expiring on the date the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2023,
successors to the class of Directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three (3)-year term and until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. If the number of Directors is changed, any
increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of Directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional Director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in
such class or from the death, resignation or removal from office of a Director or other cause shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the Directors of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the
number of Directors shorten the term of any incumbent Director. Directors need not be stockholders. Each Director (other than any Preferred Stock Directors) elected shall hold office until the third succeeding meeting next after such
Director’s election and until such Director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such Director’s death or until such Director resigns or is removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Directors (other than any Preferred Stock
Directors) shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of Outstanding Voting Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of Directors at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Except with
respect to Preferred Stock Directors, the Board of Directors shall present to the stockholders holding Outstanding Voting Stock nominations of candidates for election to the Board of Directors (or recommend the election of such candidates as
nominated by others) such that, and shall take such other corporate actions as may be reasonably required to provide that, to the best knowledge of the Board of Directors, if such candidates are elected by the stockholders holding Outstanding
Voting Stock, at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall be Independent Directors. The Board of Directors shall only elect any Person to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors (other than a vacancy in respect of a
Preferred Stock Director) if, to the best knowledge of the Board of Directors, after such person’s election at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors (other than any Preferred Stock Directors) shall be Independent
Directors. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not cause a Director who, upon commencing his or her service as a member of the Board of Directors was determined by the Board of Directors to be an Independent Director but did not
in fact qualify as such, or who by reason of any change in circumstances ceases to qualify as an Independent Director, from serving the remainder of the term as a Director for which he or she was selected. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph, no action of the Board of Directors shall be invalid solely by reason of the failure at any time for a majority of the members of the Board of Directors to be Independent Directors. Any Director or the whole
Board of Directors (other than any Preferred Stock Directors) may be removed, only for cause, by the affirmative vote of holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the then issued and Outstanding Voting Stock, given at an annual meeting or
at a special meeting of stockholders holding Outstanding Voting Stock called for that purpose. A vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by any such removal shall be filled by the Board of Directors as provided in clause (3) of this Article
SIXTH. Any Director serving on a committee of the Board of Directors may be removed from such committee at any time by the Board of Directors.
|
(3) |
Subject to the rights of holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding with respect to the election of Preferred Stock Directors or vacancies in respect thereof, any vacancy on the Board
of Directors that results from newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other
vacancies may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director or, solely in the event of the removal of the entire Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of the then issued and Outstanding Voting Stock. Any Director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of Directors of such class pursuant to the
foregoing sentence shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class and until such Director’s successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or
removal. Any Director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of Directors shall have the same remaining term as that of such Director’s predecessor and until such Director’s successor is duly elected or
appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
|
(4) |
No Director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or
limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the DGCL is amended hereafter to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of Directors, then the liability of a
Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as so amended. If the DGCL is amended hereafter to authorize the elimination of personal liability of any officers of the Corporation
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer, then the personal liability of such officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer, shall be eliminated to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL,
as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article SIXTH shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director or (if applicable) officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect
to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
|
(5) |
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 Certificate of Incorporation, and any by-laws of the Corporation (the “By-Laws”) adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the
Directors which would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.
|
(1) |
Except as provided in clauses (2) and (3) of this Article FOURTEENTH and subject to any Share Designation, the Board of Directors may amend any of the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws
but only in compliance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this clause (1). If the Board of Directors desires to amend any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws other than, with respect to the
By-Laws, pursuant to Article X of the By-Laws, then it shall first adopt a resolution setting forth the amendment proposed, declaring its advisability, and then, to the extent required by the DGCL, (i) call a special meeting of the
stockholders entitled to vote in respect thereof for the consideration of such amendment, (ii) direct that the amendment proposed be considered at the next annual meeting of the stockholders or (iii) in the case of any series of Preferred
Stock the holders of which are permitted to act by written consent pursuant to the Share Designation in respect thereof, seek the written consent of such stockholders. Amendments to this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws may be
proposed only by or with the consent of the Board of Directors. Such special or annual meeting shall be called and held upon notice in accordance with the By-Laws. The notice shall set forth such amendment in full or a brief summary of the
changes to be effected thereby, as the Board of Directors shall deem advisable. At the meeting, a vote of stockholders entitled to vote thereon shall be taken for and against the proposed amendment. A proposed amendment (other than
amendments that do not require stockholder approval under the DGCL) shall require for its approval the affirmative vote of a Share Majority (as defined below), unless a greater percentage is required under his Certificate of Incorporation,
the By-Laws, any Share Designation, applicable law or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Corporation Securities (as defined below) are listed or quoted for trading. An amendment to this
Certificate of Incorporation that has been duly approved in accordance with this Article FOURTEENTH, shall be effective upon the effectiveness of its filing with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Share Designation) that relates solely to
the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such series are entitled either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (for
the avoidance of doubt, including any Share Designation) or applicable law.
|
(1) |
Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article FIFTEENTH, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
|
(2) |
Investors’ Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article FIFTEENTH, any action taken by the Corporation or the Board of Directors or any
committee thereof shall be taken in accordance with, and remain subject to in all respects, the terms and conditions of the Investors’ Rights Agreement.
|
(3) |
Restrictions on Transfer. In order to preserve the Tax Benefits, subject to clause (4) of this Article FIFTEENTH, any attempted Transfer of Corporation
Securities prior to the Restriction Release Date, or any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the Restriction Release Date, shall be prohibited and void ab initio if (a) the transferor is a Substantial Shareholder other than an Initial Substantial Shareholder or (b) to the extent that, as a result of such Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a
part), either (i) any Person or group of Persons shall become a Substantial Shareholder (other than a Public Group by reason of a Transfer from an Initial Substantial Shareholder) or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest in the
Corporation of any Substantial Shareholder shall be increased (other than that of a Public Group by reason of a Transfer from an Initial Substantial Shareholder).
|
(4) |
Certain Exceptions. The restrictions set forth in clause (3) of this Article FIFTEENTH shall not apply to an attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities if the
transferor or the transferee obtains the written approval of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, whether or not a request has been made to the Board of Directors, which approval may be granted or denied in the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors. As a condition to granting its approval, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require (at the expense of the transferor and/or transferee) an opinion of counsel selected by the Board of Directors that the
Transfer will not result in the application of any limitation on the use of the Tax Benefits under Section 382 of the Code; provided that the Board of Directors may grant such approval notwithstanding the effect of such approval on the Tax
Benefits if it determines that the approval is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may grant its approval in whole or in part with respect to such Transfer and may impose any conditions that it deems reasonable
and appropriate in connection with such approval, including, without limitation, restrictions on the ability of any transferee to Transfer Corporation Securities acquired through a Transfer. Approvals of the Board of Directors hereunder may
be given prospectively or retroactively. The Board of Directors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this Article FIFTEENTH through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in
this Article FIFTEENTH shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board of Directors in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
|
(5) |
Treatment of Excess Securities.
|
(6) |
Board Determinations.
|
(7) |
Securities Exchange Transactions. Nothing in this Article FIFTEENTH shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of a
national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article FIFTEENTH and any Purported Transferee in
such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article FIFTEENTH.
|
(8) |
Legal Proceedings; Prompt Enforcement. If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent
within thirty days from the date on which the Corporation makes a written demand pursuant to clause (5)(iii) of this Article FIFTEENTH, then the Corporation shall promptly take all cost effective actions which it believes are appropriate to
enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this clause (8) of this Article FIFTEENTH shall (a) be deemed inconsistent with any Transfer of the Excess Securities provided
in this Article FIFTEENTH being void ab initio or (b) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand. The Board of Directors may
authorize such additional actions as it deems advisable to give effect to the provisions of this Article FIFTEENTH.
|
(9) |
Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any stockholder subject to the provisions of this Article FIFTEENTH who knowingly violates the provisions of
this Article FIFTEENTH and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with such stockholder shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless against, any
and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including but not limited to damages resulting from a reduction in, or elimination of, the Corporation’s ability to utilize its Tax Benefits, and attorneys’ and auditors’ fees incurred
in connection with such violation.
|
(10) |
Notice to Corporation. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Corporation Securities in excess of the limitations set forth in this Article FIFTEENTH
shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Prohibited Transfer on the
preservation and usage of the Tax Benefits. As a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Corporation Securities, any Person who is a beneficial, legal, or record holder of Corporation Securities, and any proposed transferee and
any Person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the proposed transferee, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide such information as the Corporation may request from time to time in order to
determine compliance with this Article FIFTEENTH or the status of the Tax Benefits of the Corporation.
|
(11) |
By-Laws. The By-Laws of the Corporation may make appropriate provisions to effectuate the requirements of this Article FIFTEENTH.
|
(12) |
Certificates. All certificates representing Corporation Securities on or after the Effective Date shall, until the Restriction Release Date, bear a conspicuous
legend in substantially the following form:
|
(13) |
Reliance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the members of the Board of Directors shall be fully protected in relying in good faith
upon the information, opinions, reports or statements of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer or the corporate controller of the Corporation or of the Corporation’s legal counsel,
independent auditors, transfer agent, investment bankers or other employees and agents in making the determinations and findings contemplated by this Article FIFTEENTH, and the members of the Board of Directors shall not be responsible for
any good faith errors made in connection therewith. For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of any Corporation Securities owned by any stockholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely on the existence and
absence of filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), if any, as of any date, subject to its actual knowledge of the ownership of Corporation Securities.
|
(14) |
Benefits of Article FIFTEENTH. Nothing in this Article FIFTEENTH shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Article FIFTEENTH. This Article FOURTEENTH shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.
|
(15) |
