"First Amendment" means the First Amendment to this Agreement dated as of August 6, 2015.
(b)Section 3.01(e)(ii)(D) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

If any part of this Amendment is for any reason found to be unenforceable, all other portions of it shall nevertheless remain enforceable.

7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier or by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
9. ENTIRETY. THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND SUPERCEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, IF ANY, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THESE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
