SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In order to induce the Banks

(a) The Borrower has adequate power and authority to execute and
deliver this Second Amendment and the other agreements, documents and
instruments executed in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and to
perform its obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement as amended
hereby.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Second Amendment
and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in
connection herewith or contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Borrower, will not result in a violation
of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of the
Prospectus of the Borrower, or of its charter, articles of association,
declaration of trust or by-laws, or of any investment, borrowing or other
similar type of policy or restriction to which the Borrower is subject, or of
any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or
governmental regulation applicable to the Borrower, or result in the creation
of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or
assets of the Borrower pursuant to any such term.
(c) This Second Amendment effectively amends the Credit Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof. The obligations of the Borrower hereunder and
under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms.
(d) All of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower
in the Credit Agreement, including those in Article VII thereof, are true and
correct on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof and are so
repeated herein, except that representations and warranties of financial
statements or conditions as of an earlier date relate solely to such earlier
date.
(e) Upon the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment and the
other agreements, documents and instruments executed in connection herewith or
contemplated hereby, and the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 3 of this Second Amendment, no Default shall exist and be
continuing.
SECTION 3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The agreements contained herein and
the amendments contemplated hereby shall become effective on the date when

(c) The Operations Agent shall have received from each Borrower (with
sufficient copies for each Bank) an incumbency certificate, dated the date
hereof, signed by a duly authorized officer of such Borrower and giving the name
and bearing a specimen signature of each individual who shall be authorized to
(i) sign, in the name and on behalf of such Borrower, each of this Second
Amendment and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (ii) give

(g) Without, in any way, limiting the scope of paragraph (f) above, the
Operations Agent and the Banks shall be satisfied that there has been no
material adverse change in any law, rule, regulation, decree or order of any
governmental authority binding upon any Borrower or otherwise applicable to the
Operations Agent, the Banks or any Borrower;
(h) The Operations Agent shall have received from the Existing

6

SECTION 4. RATIFICATION OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS, ETC. All obligations of

constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable
against the Borrowers in accordance with their respective terms. By executing
this Second Amendment, each Bank and the Agents (i) consent to the
substitution of State Street Bank as Custodian for each Existing Borrower
that is an open-end fund (other than Credit Suisse Warburg Pincus Long-Short
Market Neutral Fund) as to which State Street Bank had not previously served
as Custodian and (ii) waive any event of termination under Section 14.02 of
the Credit Agreement that may have occurred and be continuing as a
consequence of the aforenamed Borrowers' failure to timely notify the
Operations Agent and each Bank of such substitution and to obtain a written
acknowledgment from the Operations Agent that such substitution would not
constitute an event of termination under said Section 14.02. Furthermore, by
executing this Second Amendment, each Borrower, the Banks and the Agents
agree to waive the notice requirement of Section 14.01 of the Credit
Agreement, and agree to the renewal of the Commitments as amended hereby for
a new 364-day period ending June 19, 2002, which shall be an "Expiration
Date" as defined in Section 14.01 of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.
Each Existing Borrower, the Banks and the Agents further agree that each Loan
outstanding to a Borrower under the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof
shall be deemed to be a Loan outstanding to such Borrower under the Credit
Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment. Furthermore, by its execution
of this Second Amendment each Additional Borrower agrees to be bound by the
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, in all
respects as a Borrower thereunder and hereby assumes all of the obligations
of a Borrower thereunder.
7
SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) This Second Amendment may be executed on separate counterparts by
the parties hereto, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(b) This Second Amendment and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by
the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to the conflict of
laws principles thereof).
(c) The headings of the several sections of this Second Amendment are
inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way effect the meaning or
construction of any provision of this Second Amendment.
(d) This Second Amendment and each of the other agreements, documents
and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith or contemplated
hereby constitute Loan Documents under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notice is hereby given that this
Second Amendment has been executed by an officer of each Borrower, in that
capacity and not individually. The Banks acknowledge that the obligations of
or arising out of this Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended
hereby, are not binding upon any of the Borrowers' trustees, directors,
officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually, but are binding
solely upon the assets and property of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Second Amendment, the Credit Agreement, as amended
hereby, or any other Loan Document to the contrary, to the extent that this
Second Amendment is executed by an Investment Company on behalf of one or
more Portfolios of such Investment Company, as a Borrower(s) hereunder, the
Banks further acknowledge that the obligations of or arising out of this
Second Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, are binding
upon the assets and property of the Portfolio on whose behalf an Investment
Company has executed this instrument and that, with respect to each such
Portfolio, such obligations are several but not joint. Without limiting the
foregoing, the obligations of the Borrowers are several, not joint. This
Second Amendment shall be deemed to constitute a separate agreement between
each Borrower and the other parties hereto (other than the other Borrowers) as
if such Borrower had executed a separate agreement naming only itself and the
other parties hereto (other than the other Borrowers) as parties. No
Borrower shall be liable for the obligations (whether for principal,
interest, fees, expenses or otherwise) of any other Borrower hereunder. In the
case of each Borrower that is an Investment Company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust or Portfolio of such an Investment Company, the
declarations of trust for each such trust refer to the trustees collectively as
trustees and not as individuals personally, and the declarations of trust
provide that no shareholder, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the
trust shall be subject to claims against or obligations of the trust to any
extent whatsoever, but that the trust estate only shall be liable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Second
Amendment as a sealed instrument as of the day and year first above written.
