CERTIFICATE OF VALIDATION

OF

PLATINUM EAGLE ACQUISITION CORP.

Pursuant to Section 204 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

PLATINUM EAGLE ACQUISITION CORP., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), certifies as follows:

1.         The defective corporate act that is the subject of this Certificate of Validation is the filing and effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate”) on March 15, 2019 in accordance with Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”).

2.         The nature and failure of authorization is respect of the defective corporate act identified above is the failure of the Company to have filed the Certificate as an amended and restated certificate of incorporation in accordance with Sections 242, 245 and 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”).  The Certificate, which among other things changed the Corporation’s name and changed the name of the Class A Common Stock to Common Stock, failed to include the title “Amended and Restated” and, as a result, was inadvertently filed and recorded as the certificate of incorporation of a separate corporation.  Immediately prior to the filing of this Certificate of Validation, the Corporation took all necessary corporate action to render the certificate of incorporation so inadvertently filed null and void.

3.         The defective corporate act identified above, the filing of this Certificate of Validation and the actions contemplated thereby were duly ratified and approved in accordance with Section 204 of the General Corporation Law pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted April 17, 2020 and resolution of the stockholders of the Corporation adopted May 6, 2020 acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law.

4.         The Certificate was duly approved and adopted by the Corporation’s board of directors on November 13, 2018, the Corporation’s stockholders on March 6, 2019 and was further ratified and approved by the Corporation’s board of directors on March 15, 2019, in each case in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law.

5.         No certificate with respect to the Corporation was previously filed under Section 103 of the General Corporation Law in respect to the defective corporate act that is the subject of this Certificate of Validation.  A certificate containing all of the information required to be included under Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law to give effect to the defective corporate act that is the subject of this Certificate of Validation is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The certificate shall be deemed to have become effective as of 8:50 a.m. on March 15, 2019.

If the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors, then the liability of each current or former director or officer of the Corporation shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended from time to time. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article 8, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article 8, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article 8 in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article 8, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

2.            Indemnification.  The Corporation shall, in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently 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 said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee, partner, representative or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation (an

"indemnitee"), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee. The Corporation shall be required to indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if the initiation of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was authorized by the Board. Each person who was, is or becomes a director or officer of the Corporation shall be deemed to have served or to have continued to serve in such capacity in reliance upon the indemnity provided for in this Article 8. All rights to indemnification under this Article 8 shall be deemed to have vested at the time such person becomes or became a director or officer of the Corporation and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of this Article 8 that in any way diminishes, limits, restricts, adversely affects or eliminates any right of an indemnitee or his or her successors to indemnification, advancement of expenses or otherwise shall be prospective only and shall not in any way diminish, limit, restrict, adversely affect or eliminate any such right with respect to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission then or previously existing, or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action  or omission. Claims for indemnification shall be made pursuant to the procedural requirements of the Bylaws.

3.         Insurance.  The Corporation may 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 against any such 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 DGCL.

ARTICLE 10
