GUARANTEE AGREEMENT, dated as of September 30, 2016, among VIRTUS INVESTMENT PARTNERS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Exhibit A hereto or which becomes a party hereto in accordance to Article 14 (each such Subsidiary, individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” or “Guarantors”) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement referred to in the next paragraph acting on behalf of the Credit Parties (as defined in such Credit Agreement).
RECITALS
A.    Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016, among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, and as Issuing Bank (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein, and the term “subsidiary”, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
B.    The Lenders have agreed to make Revolving Loans to, Swingline Lender has agreed to make Swingline Loans to, and the Issuing Bank has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower and each of the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Letters of Credit and other financial accommodations made under the Loan Documents will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of the Borrower and credit availability to the other Loan Parties and facilitate their loan relationship with the Credit Parties, all to the mutual advantage of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
C.    Each Guarantor further acknowledges that it will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans, and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.
D.    The execution and delivery by the Guarantors and the Borrower of this Guarantee Agreement is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement, and the Credit Parties would not have entered into the Credit Agreement if the Guarantors and the Borrower had not executed and delivered this Guarantee Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article 1.
GUARANTEE; FRAUDULENT TRANSFER, ETC.; CONTRIBUTION
Section 1.1    Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Credit Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Credit Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Credit Obligation.
Section 1.2    Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.
Section 1.3    Fraudulent Transfer. Anything in this Guarantee Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer, obligation or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of intercompany debt owed or owing to the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower to the extent that such debt would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (I) applicable law or (II) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under guarantees by such parties (including the agreements described in Section 1.4).
Section 1.4    Contributions. In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to this paragraph), the Borrower agrees that (i) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payments shall have been made to the extent of such payment, and (ii) in the event that any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy any claim of any Credit Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold. Each Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor”) agrees (subject to this paragraph) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or assets of any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Loan Document to satisfy a claim of any Credit Party and such other Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in this paragraph, the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as applicable, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than any Terminated Subsidiary Guarantor) on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Article 14, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Subsidiary Guarantor). Any Contributing Subsidiary Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph to the extent of such payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph to the contrary, all rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this paragraph and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Credit Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to make the payments required by this paragraph (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its obligations under this paragraph, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph.
ARTICLE 2.    
OBLIGATIONS NOT WAIVED
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to any Loan Party of any of the Credit Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise or (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement.
ARTICLE 3.    
RESERVED
ARTICLE 4.    
NO DISCHARGE OR DIMINISHMENT OF GUARANTEE
The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Credit Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Credit Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Credit Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Credit Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Credit Obligations).
ARTICLE 5.    
DEFENSES OF BORROWER WAIVED
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Credit Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, compromise or adjust any part of the Credit Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Credit Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, as applicable, or any security.
ARTICLE 6.    
AGREEMENT TO PAY; SUBORDINATION
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Credit Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Credit Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Credit Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the applicable Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Credit Obligations. In addition, any debt or Lien of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Credit Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such debt of the Borrower or such other Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Credit Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 7.    
INFORMATION
Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Credit Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Credit Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
ARTICLE 8.    
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.
ARTICLE 9.    
TERMINATION
The guarantees made hereunder (i) shall terminate when all Commitments have expired or otherwise terminated and the principal of and interest on each Revolving Loan and each Swingline Loan and all fees and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Letters of Credit have expired or otherwise terminated and all LC Disbursements have been indefeasibly reimbursed in full in cash and (ii) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any such Credit Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Credit Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise.
ARTICLE 10.    
BINDING EFFECT; SEVERAL AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS
Whenever in this Guarantee Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor that are contained in this Guarantee Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and assigns. This Guarantee Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In the event that (a) any Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Terminated Subsidiary Guarantor or (b) any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall no longer be a Subsidiary, then in either such case the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be automatically released. This Guarantee Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
ARTICLE 11.    
WAIVERS; AMENDMENTS
Section 11.1    No Waiver. No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder and of the other Credit Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 11.2    Amendments, etc. Neither this Guarantee Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into by, between or among the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE 12.    
NOTICES
All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be given to it at its address for notices set forth in such Section, and all communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it at the address set forth for such Guarantor on Exhibit A, with a copy to the Borrower.
ARTICLE 13.    
SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY
Section 13.1    Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document, the making of any Revolving Loan, the making of any Swingline Loan, and the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by the Credit Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Guarantee Agreement shall terminate.
Section 13.2    Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guarantee Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
ARTICLE 14.    
ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS
Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit B, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Guarantee Agreement.
ARTICLE 15.    
RIGHT OF SETOFF
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Credit Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Credit Party, irrespective of whether or not such Credit Party shall have made any demand under this Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Credit Party under this Article are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Credit Party may have.
ARTICLE 16.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guarantee Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guarantee Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Guarantor, or any of its property, or in the courts of any jurisdiction.
Section 16.3    Waiver of Objection to Venue. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in Section 16.2. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
Section 16.4    Consent to Service of Process. Each party to this Guarantee Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Article 12. Nothing in this Guarantee Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Guarantee Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT.
