AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of July 2,
2013 (this “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of September 10, 2012, among Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (the “Borrower”),
the Lenders party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent,
and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the
“Agent”), the Swingline Lender, and as Issuing Bank (as the same may be amended,

RECITALS

I. Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings
set forth in the Credit Agreement.

II. The Borrower desires to amend the Credit Agreement upon the terms and
conditions herein contained, and the Agent and Required Lenders have agreed
thereto upon the terms and conditions herein contained.

Accordingly, in consideration of the Recitals and the covenants, conditions and
agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

1. The defined term “Virtus Fund” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Virtus Fund” means, as of any date, (i) any “registered investment company” (as
defined in Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of which
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the registered investment adviser,
or (ii) any undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities
established in Ireland pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for
Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 or, in the
case of UCITS established in a Member State other than Ireland, the Council
Directive of 13 July 2009 (2009/65/EU) on the coordination of laws, regulations,
and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment
in transferable securities (UCITS) of which the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor is the “investment manager”.

2. Paragraph 1 of this Amendment shall not be effective unless and until the
following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied (the “Amendment
Effective Date”):

(a) The Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from the Borrower, each
Subsidiary Guarantor and Required Lenders either (i) a counterpart of this
Amendment signed on behalf of each such Person, or (ii) written evidence
satisfactory to the Agent (which may include facsimile or e-mail transmission of
a signed signature page of this Amendment) that each such Person has signed a
counterpart of this Amendment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) The Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable by
the Borrower on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date, including, to the
extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including attorneys’ fees).

3. The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby (a) reaffirms and admits
the validity and enforceability of each Loan Document to which it is a party and
all of its obligations thereunder and agrees and admits that (i) it has no
defense to any such obligation, (ii) it shall not exercise any setoff or offset
to any such obligation, and (iii) to its knowledge, it does not have any claim
against any Credit Party arising out of the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents, and (b) represents and warrants that (i) no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) all of the representations and
warranties made by it in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects, both immediately before and after giving effect to this Amendment.

4. By signing below, each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to this Amendment.

5. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which shall constitute one agreement. It shall
not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account for
more than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged.

6. The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall in all other respects
remain in full force and effect, and no amendment herein in respect of any term
or condition of any Loan Document shall be deemed to be an amendment or other
modification in respect of any other term or condition of any Loan Document.

7. 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
that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
