 TO 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 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, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). 

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.
