Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION
OF
INSIGHT
ENTERPRISES, INC.
Pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Insight
Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under and by virtue of the DGCL (the “Corporation”), has adopted the following Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of
Amendment”):
1. The name of the Corporation is Insight Enterprises, Inc.
2. The following amendments (collectively, the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) were duly adopted by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on December 2, 2014. The Amendment was adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation at a meeting of
stockholders duly called and held on May 19, 2015.
3. The Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by deleting
Section 5 and inserting in lieu a new Section 5 to read as follows:
5. Classification and Terms of
Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors consisting of not less than three directors nor more than twelve directors, the exact number of directors to be
determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.
Until the election of directors at the 2016 annual meeting
of stockholders (each annual meeting of stockholders, an “Annual Meeting”), pursuant to Section 141(d) of the DGCL, the Board shall be divided into three classes of directors, Class I, Class II and Class III (each class as nearly
equal in number as possible), with the directors in Class I having a term expiring at the 2016 Annual Meeting, the directors in Class II having a term expiring at the 2017 Annual Meeting and the directors in Class III having a term expiring at the
2018 Annual Meeting. Commencing with the election of directors at the 2016 Annual Meeting, pursuant to Section 141(d) of the DGCL, the Board shall be divided into two classes of directors, Class I and Class II, with the directors in Class I
having a term that expires at the 2017 Annual Meeting and the directors in Class II having a term that expires at the 2018 Annual Meeting. The successors of the directors who, immediately prior to the 2016 Annual Meeting, were members of Class I
(and whose terms expire at the 2016 Annual Meeting) shall be elected to Class I; the directors who, immediately prior to the 2016 Annual Meeting, were members of Class II (and whose terms were scheduled to expire at the 2017 Annual Meeting) shall
become members of Class I for a term expiring at the 2017 Annual Meeting; and the directors who, immediately prior to the 2016 Annual Meeting, were members of Class III (and whose terms were scheduled to expire at the 2018 Annual Meeting) shall be
members of Class II for a term expiring at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
Commencing with the election of directors at the 2017 Annual Meeting,
pursuant to Section 141(d) of the DGCL, there shall be a single class of directors, Class I, with all directors of such class having a term that expires at the 2018 Annual Meeting. The successors of the directors who, immediately prior to the
2017 Annual Meeting, were members of Class I (and whose terms expire at the 2017 Annual Meeting) shall be elected to Class I and the directors who, immediately prior to the 2017 Annual Meeting, were members of Class III (and whose terms were
scheduled to expire at the 2018 Annual Meeting) shall become members of Class I for a term expiring at the 2018 Annual Meeting.
From and after the election of directors at the 2018 Annual Meeting, the Board shall cease to be
classified as provided in Section 141(d) of the DGCL, and the directors elected at the 2018 Annual Meeting (and each Annual Meeting thereafter) shall be elected for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting.
Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors
then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the terms of the class in which such director shall have been elected or,
following the termination of the division of directors into classes, each director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders held after his or her election as director and until his or her successor
shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten term of any incumbent
director.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the
Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed
by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation and the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 4 applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article
5 unless expressly provided by such terms.
4. The Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended by deleting
Section 6 and inserting in lieu thereof a new Section 6 to read as follows:
6. Removal of Directors.
Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specific circumstances, (i) any director in a class of directors elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of
stockholders following the election of such class shall be removable only for cause, and all other directors shall be removable either with or without cause, and (ii) the removal of any director, whether with or without cause, shall require the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate of Amendment on this 19th day of May, 2015.

proxy solicitation made generally by such person to all stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting) or disposing of any capital stock of the corporation or to cooperate in obtaining, changing or influencing the control of the corporation (except
independent financial, legal and other advisors acting in the ordinary course of their respective businesses).
Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section. Nothing in this Section shall
be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of
any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.
SECTION 4. CONDUCT OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS. The
meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or if he or she is not present, by an officer designated by the Board of Directors, or if the Board of Directors fails to designate such officer, by a chairman to be
elected at the meeting. The Secretary, or any Assistant Secretary as designated by the chairman of the meeting, of the Corporation shall act as secretary of such meetings; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a
secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The order of business shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will
vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, to the extent not prohibited by law, adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the
meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe
such rules, regulations, and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or
prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may to the extent not prohibited by law include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for
maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies, or such other
persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless
and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
5
SECTION 5. VOTING. Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws, each
stockholder entitled to vote in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of stock entitled to be voted
which is held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Upon the demand of any stockholder, the vote for directors and the vote upon any question before the
meeting, shall be by ballot. All matters shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, present in person or represented by proxy
at the meeting, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or as otherwise required by law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to
the Corporation or its securities.
Each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect
to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if as of a date that is fourteen (14) days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of
whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented
in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes
cast against that director. Votes cast shall exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election. The Nominating and Governance Committee has established procedures under which any director who is not elected shall offer to tender his
or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Committee’s
recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. Directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting for the year in which their term
expires and until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders.
A complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of each, and the number of shares held by each, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business
hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is
to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
SECTION 6. QUORUM. Except as otherwise required or permitted by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, the presence, in
person or by proxy, of stockholders holding a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders. If a quorum be initially present, the stockholders
may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. In case a quorum shall not be initially present at any meeting, a majority in voting power of the stockholders
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until the holders of the requisite amount of stock entitled to vote shall be
present if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any such adjourned meeting at which the requisite holders of the amount of stock entitled to vote shall be represented, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed; but only those stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting as originally noticed shall be entitled to vote at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. If the
adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
6
SECTION 7. ELECTION INSPECTORS. The Board of Directors shall, in advance of any meeting of
stockholders, appoint one or more election inspectors to act at such meeting (and any adjournment or adjournments thereof) and make a written report thereof. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace
any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of
his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.
The election inspector or inspectors (acting through a majority of them if there be more than one) shall: (i) ascertain the number of
shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; (iii) count all votes and ballots; (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record

In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an
examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may
consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the
record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification pursuant to this
section shall specify the precise information considered by them including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the
inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

compensation therefor.

Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors, or of such committee as the case may be, consent thereto in writing and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings
of the Board of Directors or committee.

Board, the President or any Vice President, and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who
has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were
such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The Corporation may issue (i) a new
certificate or certificates of stock or (ii) uncertificated shares in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion,
require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his or her legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond, in such sum as it may direct, sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it
on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or certificates, or the issuance of any such new certificate or certificates.
SECTION 3. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Upon surrender to the Corporation, transfer agent or registrar of the Corporation of a certificate for shares
duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate or evidence of the issuance of uncertificated shares to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificates are
presented to the Corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so.
Upon the receipt of
proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated shares, such uncertificated shares shall be cancelled, issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificated shares shall be made to the person entitled thereto, and
the transaction shall be recorded in the books of the Corporation. If the Corporation has a transfer agent or registrar acting on its behalf, the signature of any officer or representative thereof may be in facsimile.
SECTION 4. STOCKHOLDERS RECORD DATE. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for
the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall be in accordance with applicable law. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
13
SECTION 5. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive
right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest
in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
SECTION 6. DIVIDENDS. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and any resolution of the Board of Directors, the Board of
Directors may, out of funds legally available therefor declare dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation as and when it deems expedient. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of capital stock of the Corporation, subject
to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation. Before declaring any dividend there may be set apart out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends, such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time in its discretion
deems proper for working capital or as a reserve fund to meet contingencies or for equalizing dividends or for such other purposes as the Board of Directors shall deem conducive to the interests of the Corporation.
SECTION 7. SEAL. The corporate seal shall be circular in form and shall contain the name of the Corporation, the year of its creation and the
words “CORPORATE SEAL”. Said seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the Corporation, and in such manner as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
SECTION 10. NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice is required by these Bylaws to be given, personal notice is not meant unless
expressly so stated, and any notice so required shall be deemed to be sufficient if given by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the person entitled thereto at his or her address as it appears on the records
of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such mailing. With respect to any meeting of stockholders, in lieu of personal notice or mailed notice, notice may be given electronic transmission provided such
stockholders have consented to receiving electronic notice. Stockholders not entitled to vote shall not be entitled to receive notice of any meetings except as otherwise provided by statute. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given under
the provisions of any law, or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to
the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of
directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
14
SECTION 11. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN. The Corporation will seek stockholder approval prior to its
adoption of a Rights Plan, unless the Board of Directors, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, determines that, under the circumstances existing at the time, it is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Corporation to adopt or extend a
Rights Plan without delay. If a Rights Plan is adopted or extended by the Board of Directors without prior stockholder approval, such plan must provide that it will expire unless ratified by the stockholders of the Corporation within one year of
adoption. For purposes of this bylaw, the term “Rights Plan” refers generally to any plan providing for the distribution of preferred stock, rights, warrants, options or debt instruments to the stockholders of the Corporation, designed to
assist the Board of Directors in responding to unsolicited takeover proposals and significant stock accumulations in a manner that facilitates the exercise of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary responsibilities to stockholders of the Corporation
by conferring certain rights on them upon the occurrence of a “triggering event” such as a tender offer or third party acquisition of a specified percentage of stock.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the
same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to
such amendment), indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is 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 by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer 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 or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”) against expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines,
ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 3 of this Article with respect to proceedings to
enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such 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 of
this Corporation.
SECTION 2. RIGHT TO ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article
shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation
Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such 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 such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article 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 the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
15
SECTION 3. RIGHT OF INDEMNITEE TO BRING SUIT. If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this
Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty
(20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an
advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification
hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of
the Corporation (including by a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, its independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that
indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such
a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
SECTION 4. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses
conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise.
16
SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance, at
its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan) against any expense, liability or loss,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
SECTION 6. DEFINITION OF CORPORATION. For purposes of this Article VI, references to the “Corporation” shall include any subsidiary
of this Corporation from and after the acquisition thereof by this Corporation, so that any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent of such subsidiary after the acquisition thereof by this Corporation shall stand in the same position
under the provisions of this Article as such person would have had such person served in such position for this Corporation.
SECTION 7.
INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF THE CORPORATION. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the
Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
SECTION 8. AMENDMENTS. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI will be prospective only, and no repeal or modification of this Article
VI will in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation in respect of any action, omission, occurrence or matter taking place or otherwise arising prior to any such repeal or
modification.
