A. Classes of Stock and Authorized Shares. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is One Hundred Ten Million (110,000,000) shares, of which One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, and Ten Million (10,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock.
B. Rights, Powers, Preferences and Restrictions of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof and the filing of a certificate pursuant to
1

the applicable law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Subject to Section A of this Article IV and any Preferred Stock Designation, the Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the certificate of designations in respect of any series of Preferred Stock, in case the number of shares of such series shall be decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
C. Rights of Common Stock. The relative powers, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed on the shares of the Common Stock are as follows:
1. General. The voting powers and dividend and liquidation rights and preferences, if any, of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.
2. Voting Rights. Except as may be otherwise provided by this Restated Certificate, a Preferred Stock Designation or by applicable law, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share upon each matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Restated Certificate or a Preferred Stock Designation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Restated Certificate, a Preferred Stock Designation or the General Corporation Law. There shall be no cumulative voting. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.
3. Dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors and subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock and to the requirements of applicable law.

V.
A. Amendment of Bylaws by Board. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by the General Corporation Law, and subject to the terms of any Preferred Stock Designation, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.
B. Amendment of Bylaws by Stockholders. In addition to the amendment of the Bylaws by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section A of this Article V, the stockholders of the Corporation also may amend the Bylaws pursuant to this Section B of Article V. Prior to the first date on which ALPHAEON Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ALPHAEON”) no longer beneficially owns (as determined in accordance with Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors (the “Effective Date”), the stockholders may not adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith, unless such action is approved, in addition to any other vote required by this Restated Certificate or a Preferred Stock Designation, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon. From and after the Effective Date, the stockholders may not adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith, unless such action is approved, in addition to any other vote required by this Restated Certificate or a Preferred Stock Designation, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.
VI.
A. Authority of Board. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred by statute or by this Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the Board of Directors is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.
B. Board Size. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation, the total number of authorized directors constituting the Board of Directors (the “Whole Board”) shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board.
C. Classified Board Structure. The directors, other than any who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation, shall be divided into three (3) classes hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board of Directors may assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of this Restated Certificate (the “Effective Time”), the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the Effective Time, and the term of office of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders following the Effective Time. At each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, each of the successors elected to replace the directors of a Class whose term shall have expired at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third annual meeting next succeeding his or her election and until his or her respective successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal.

D. Removal; Vacancies. Prior to the Effective Date, any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the Corporation only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon. From and after the Effective date, any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the Corporation only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon. Vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors for any reason and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors and not by the stockholders. A person elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and qualified.
VII.
No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes in any election of directors. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.
VIII.
A. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by (i) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, (ii) the chairman of the Board of Directors, or (iii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.
B. Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, prior to the Effective Date, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or may be effected by any consent in writing (or by electronic communication) by such stockholders. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, from and after the Effective Date, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing (or by electronic communication) by such stockholders.
C. Forum Selection. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for all “internal corporate claims.” “Internal corporate claims” means claims, including claims in the right of the Corporation, (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director or officer or stockholder in such capacity, or (ii) as to which Title 8 of the General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery, except for, as to each of (i) and (ii) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including each portion of any sentence of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
4

IX.
A. The Corporation shall indemnify (and advance expenses to) its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time.
B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability.
C. No amendment to or repeal of this provision, nor the adoption of any provision of the Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Article IX, shall apply to or have any effect on (1) the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation or the (2) indemnification and advancement rights of any director or officer, in each case, for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. If the General Corporation Law is amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors or to permit greater indemnification or advancement rights of directors and officers, then the directors and officers of the Corporation shall be protected from liability (whether through exculpation, indemnification or advancement rights) the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.
X.
A.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to ALPHAEON or any of its officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, subsidiaries (other than the Corporation ) and affiliates (including, without limitation, their respective officers, directors, agents, shareholders, members, partners, subsidiaries and affiliates) (each, a “Specified Party”), even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so and each such Specified Party shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Corporation and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Specified Party pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Specified Party who is a director or officer of the Corporation and who is offered a business opportunity in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (a “Directed Opportunity”) shall be obligated to communicate such Directed Opportunity to the Corporation; provided, however, that all of the protections of this Article X shall otherwise apply to the Specified Parties with respect to such Directed Opportunity, including, without limitation, the ability of the Specified Parties to pursue or acquire such Directed Opportunity or to direct such Directed Opportunity to another person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no business opportunity will be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation unless the Corporation would be permitted to undertake the opportunity under this Restated Certificate, the Corporation has sufficient financial resources to undertake the opportunity and the opportunity is in line with the business of the Corporation.
B.Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article X, nor the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by General Corporation Law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to,
5

the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed).
C.If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.
D.This Article X shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Restated Certificate or applicable law.
E.Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any securities of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article X.
XI.
The Corporation elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law, and the restrictions contained in Section 203 shall not apply to the Corporation, until the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, the Corporation shall be governed by Section 203 so long as Section 203 by its terms would apply to the Corporation.
XII.
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate or applicable law and in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by a Preferred Stock Designation or this Restated Certificate, (i) prior to the Effective Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the shares of the then outstanding voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal, or adopt any provisions of this Restated Certificate, and (ii) from and after the Effective Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the shares of the then outstanding voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, repeal, or adopt any provisions of this Restated Certificate.
