between

Steinway & Sons, New York, Hamburg Branch

Rondenbarg 10

22525 Hamburg

- hereinafter referred to as the “Borrower” and, together with the Co-Borrowers, the “Borrowers” -

And

Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft

Kaiserstraße 16

60311 Frankfurt am Main

- hereinafter referred to as the “Bank” -

With

Steinway Retail Deutschland GmbH, Rondenbarg 10, 22525 Hamburg and

Louis Renner GmbH, Max Planck Straße 18-24, 7116 Gärtringen as collateral providers

- together with the Borrower, hereinafter referred to as the “Borrowing Base Providers” -

Whereas:

The Borrowing Base Providers and the Bank enter into the following borrowing base facility agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”). A Borrowing Base facility is a special type of working capital finance where the maximum amount available for drawdown is directly dependent on the periodically determined value of the current assets and — in this specific case — certain fixed assets serving as collateral, in particular inventory and trade receivables (the “Borrowing Base”).

It is agreed as follows:

1. AMOUNT AND PURPOSE OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

1.1 The Bank makes available to the Borrower a Borrowing Base Facility the credit amount of which actually available for drawdown is dependent on the periodically determined Borrowing Base, however limited to

EUR 30,000,000.00

(in words: Euro thirty million)

(the “Credit Commitment”).

1.2 The available credit amount is calculated on the basis of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Clause 8 hereof (Borrowing Base). The calculation is made monthly on the basis of the Borrowing Base Reports provided by the Borrower. The credit amount available to the Borrower for the Borrowing Base Application Period is the lesser amount in EUR of:

(a) the Borrowing Base confirmed from time to time by the Bank, deducted by the aggregate credit limits allocated to Co-Borrowers by way of Loan Transfer Order pursuant to Clause 2.4, and

(b) the Credit Commitment.

(the “Available Credit Facility”).

1.3 The Borrowers shall use the Available Credit Facility exclusively for the financing of general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements and investments in digitalization.

2. UTILISATION AND TRANSFER OF EXISTING CREDIT UTILISATION

2.1 The Available Credit Facility may be utilised by the Borrower, and if applicable and within the limits set in the in the respective Loan Transfer Order, by a Co-Borrower

(1) by way of an overdraft facility in Euro;

(2) by way of money market loans in Euro up to an amount not exceeding 70% of the Credit Commitment;

(3) by way of guarantees in Euro up to an amount of EUR 3,000,000.00, provided that those guarantees are directly linked to the working capital to be financed; and

(4) for the issuance of import letters of credit in EUR up to an amount of EUR 5,000,000.00, provided that those import letters of credit are directly linked to the working capital to be financed.

Utilisations of the Borrower (for the avoidance of doubt, not of the Co-Borrowers) via overdraft facilities or for the issuance of letters of credit can also be made in the following foreign currencies as long and to the extent that these are freely available and convertible for the Bank:

• USD.

The aggregate amount of utilisations by the Borrower shall not exceed the Available Credit Facility at any time. The aggregate amount of utilisations by any Co-Borrower shall not exceed its credit limit allocated under the respective Loan Transfer Order at any time. The limitations for individual types of utilisation are to be observed by the Borrower.

1

2.2 If — for instance in the event of utilisation in foreign currency — the aggregate amount of utilisations exceeds the Available Credit Facility at that time, the Borrower shall be obliged to reduce the utilisation immediately so that it does not exceed the Available Credit Facility. If this is not immediately possible due to the type of utilisation (e.g. in the case of guarantees), the Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Bank, i.e. deposit a cash amount necessary to cover the sum by which the aggregate amount of utilisations exceed the Available Credit Facility, in an account held with the Bank in the name of the Borrower and pledged to the Bank with first rank.

In order to determine whether, as a result of exchange rate fluctuations, the aggregate amount of utilisations exceeds the credit facility, the EUR counter value of the utilisations in foreign currency is calculated on each Business Day on the basis of the mean rate of exchange. The mean rate of exchange is the rate fixed by the Bank as the mean rate between the buying and the selling rate for the respective foreign currency against the euro at or about 1 p.m. local time in Frankfurt am Main on each business day and which is then published on its internet sites http://www.commerzbank.de under Research > Kursinformationen > Devisenkurse.

Business day means a day other than a Saturday and Sunday on which banks are open for general business in Frankfurt am Main.

2.3 Within the facility agreement dated 19.01.2012 between the Bank and the Borrower and its respective amendments, the Borrower has utilised overdraft facilities, money market loans, guarantees as well as documentary letters of credit (“Existing Utilisation”). From the effective date of this Agreement pursuant to Clause 15.1 below, the Existing Utilisation shall be transferred to and continued as utilisations under this Agreement. It shall then be deemed to be drawn hereunder and the amount available for utilisation shall be reduced by the amount of the Existing Utilisation. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the Existing Utilisation, except for the agreements concerning tenor and interest rate of existing money market loans as well as fees of existing guarantees and documentary letters of credit which are not yet discharged on the effective date of this Agreement, for which the conditions previously agreed shall continue to apply.

2.4 Utilizations under this credit facility by co-borrowers (“Co-Borrower”)

2.4.1 Utilizations under this credit facility by the Co-Borrowers shall be subject to the following conditions:

• The Borrower provides to the Bank a loan transfer order in accordance with Annex VI (“Loan Transfer Order”),

• the Bank has received a Declaration of Accession from the Co-Borrower signed in a legally binding manner in accordance with Annex VII to this Agreement (including any further documents requested by the Bank), and

• the Bank accepts the Loan Transfer Order and consents to the Co-Borrower’s accession to the Agreement.

2.4.2 The Bank shall not be obliged to accept a Loan Transfer Order and/or a Declaration of Accession and to grant a Co-Borrower corresponding credits. The Bank will inform the Borrower without delay if it refuses to accept a Loan Transfer Order and/or Declaration of Accession. Otherwise, the Loan Transfer Order and the corresponding Declaration of Accession shall be deemed to be accepted. The acceptance or rejection, as the case may be, of the Loan Transfer Order shall automatically be deemed to be also an acceptance or rejection of the Declaration of Accession. The Borrower will inform the Co-Borrower about the acceptance or rejection.

2

2.4.3 As soon as the conditions pursuant to No. 2.4.1 are met for each Co-Borrower, the Co-Borrowers will become borrowers to this Agreement subject to the conditions laid out in the Loan Transfer Order and the corresponding Declaration of Accession. The credit products used by the Co-Borrowers will be booked in their own accounts.

2.4.4 Co-Borrowers shall not be entitled to amend, rescind or terminate the Agreement in whole, to give, cancel or change Loan Transfer Orders and to receive information on the account balances of the other Co-Borrowers as well as of the Borrower. However, each Co-Borrower may repay credits utilized by it in accordance with the conditions applicable thereto and then withdraw from the Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt solely in their capacity as Co-Borrowers and not as Borrowing Base Provider or Co-Debtor), by giving notice of termination. The amount which then becomes available may be utilized by the Borrower itself or distributed to other Co-Borrowers.

2.4.5 The Bank is only prepared to make credits available to the Co-Borrowers, if the Borrower fully assumes the risk resulting from these credits. Therefore the Borrower hereby assumes a guarantee (“Steinway Guarantee”) towards the Bank as security for any existing and future, including contingent claims, to which the Bank is or becomes entitled under this Agreement following the Bank’s acceptance of a Loan Transfer Order and/or a Declaration of Accession by the respective Co-Borrower.

Under the Steinway Guarantee, the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Bank any amount, including interest and costs, owed by any one or several of its Co-Borrowers under a credit specified in Annex VI. The Borrower undertakes to make payment in the currency in which the respective obligation of the Co-Borrower concerned is denominated. If this is not possible for reasons of foreign exchange law, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank the countervalue of the currency claim in EUR, converted at the middle rate of exchange on the date of payment.

The Bank may demand payment from the Borrower under the Steinway Guarantee, if one or several of the Co-Borrowers have failed to meet their contractual obligations, have failed to meet them in due time, in the agreed manner or in the currency agreed on conclusion of the agreement (“Default”). Prior to its demand for payment under the Steinway Guarantee against the Borrower, the Bank shall not be obliged to enforce the corresponding amounts towards the Co-Borrower concerned in court or out of court, to first realise other security, if any, or to await the results of any insolvency or similar proceedings.

The payment obligation shall be valid irrespective of any objections or defences which may be raised by the relevant Co-Borrower, or the reasons for non-payment by that Co-Borrower. It shall be effective, even if the Agreement or agreement on an individual transaction between the Bank and the Co-Borrower concerned proves to be not legally valid. Furthermore, it is not relevant whether the Default is attributable to the Co-Borrower concerned or is due to measures of third parties, including restrictions by public authorities or legal restrictions.

This Steinway Guarantee shall only expire after the obligations of all Co-Borrowers towards the Bank have been repaid and discharged finally and irrevocably. In particular, it shall not already expire if a loan or utilization granted to the Co-Borrower is repaid only temporarily or, as determined subsequently, not with final legal effect, or if a Co-Borrower is no longer specified in the applicable Annex VI, or the credit amount originally assigned to it has been reduced, as long as it has not yet met its obligations towards the Bank in full.

3

2.4.6 The Borrower shall be authorised to reduce or to fully cancel the credit limit allocated to a respective Co-Borrower at any time by sending the Bank an updated version of Annex VI signed by the Borrower provided that the reduction of the individual credit limit below the currently applicable utilization of the Co-Borrower shall not be permitted. The Steinway Guarantee for amounts actually utilised shall remain in effect until final repayment or discharge of the Bank, irrespective of such notification and the change of Annex VI. This shall also apply if any guarantees issued for Co-Borrowers continue to exist even after a reduction of the limit or a cancellation of the Co-Borrower. The Borrower will also notify the affected Co-Borrowers thereof. Any changes shall only become effective towards the Bank — subject to the provisions in Clauses 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 — ten banking days after the receipt of a corresponding notification. Each updated Annex VI contains a list of all Loan Transfer Orders to Co-Borrowers so provided to the Bank by the Borrower, subdivided according to name of the Co-Borrower, type of utilization and amount of limits.

2.4.7 The Borrower may also request to introduce a new Co-Borrower or to increase the credit limit allocated to existing Co-Borrowers. Any introduction of a new Co-Borrower or any increase of a credit limit already allocated is subject to the Bank’s prior written approval. Clause 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

2.4.8 The Borrower will sign any amendments to this Agreement or new loan agreements to which utilizations of a Co-Borrower under this Agreement shall be transferred, on its own behalf and also as representative on behalf of and for the account of the Co-Borrowers that have joined this Agreement.

3. Interest and fees / conditions of utilisation

3.1 Overdraft facility in Euro

The Borrowers shall pay interest on utilizations on the current account (overdraft facility) now and until further notice at a rate of 3.25% p.a.

The Bank shall provide the Borrowers with a monthly statement of interest together with the balance statement for the current account.

Interest payments shall be due monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month.

If the most recently published average monthly rate for three months’ EURIBOR deposits increases by more than 0.25 per cent compared to the average monthly rate determined in the previous month of the last interest adjustment or interest agreement, the Bank shall be entitled to raise the agreed interest rate according with the change of the average monthly rate. The Bank shall reduce the agreed interest rate accordingly, if the average monthly rate for three months’ EURIBOR deposits decreases by more than 0.25 per cent.

If the EURIBOR’s essential calculation base changes or can no longer be determined temporarily or permanently, the bank will use the reference interest rate that replaces the EURIBOR or another suitable reference interest rate (“replacement reference interest rate”). The Bank will inform the Borrowers of the replacement reference interest rate in due course.

Interest rate changes shall become effective upon notification to the Borrowers immediately after publication of the above-mentioned change of the average monthly rate. The interest rate change may also be communicated in the form of printing the notification on the bank statement of the account which is used for utilisation of the credit facility.

In the event of an increase of the contractually agreed interest rate for overdraft facilities, the Borrowers may terminate the loan with immediate effect within a period of six weeks after notification of the change. If any of the Borrowers terminates a loan, the increased agreed interest rate shall not be applied to the terminated loan. The Bank shall grant the Borrowers an adequate period for the settlement of the loan.

4

3.2 Overdraft facility in foreign currency

The Borrower shall pay interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25% p. a. on utilizations on the current account (overdraft facility) now and until further notice in USD. If LIBOR is 0 % or less than 0 %, the Borrower shall pay interest at a rate equal to the margin. LIBOR for utilisations in USD means the interest rate published on Reuters page “LIBOR01” (or any successor to that page) on each banking day as “overnight rate” for utilisations in the respective currency with a term from the day of the publication until the next banking day.

If the LIBOR’s essential calculation base changes or may no longer be determined temporarily or permanently, the Bank will use the reference interest rate which replaces the LIBOR or another suitable reference interest rate (“replacement reference interest rate”). The Bank will inform the Borrower of the replacement reference interest rate in due course.

For the purposes of this paragraph, a banking day shall be any day except Saturday and Sunday on which commercial banks in London and the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency are open for business.

Interest payments shall be due on a monthly basis in arrears on the last day of each calendar month.

The Bank shall provide the Borrower with a monthly statement of interest together with the balance statement for the current account.

3.3 If and to the extent that the aggregate amount of all utilizations exceeds the amount of the Available Credit Facility and the bank tolerates the respective overdraft of the Available Credit Facility (“tolerated overdraft”), the Borrower shall pay overdraft interest for the respective tolerated overdraft (day-end balance) on the current account (overdraft facility) until the determination of the next respective day-end balance in the amount of the contractual interest rate applicable on that day for utilizations on the current account (overdraft facility) plus a surcharge of 5 % p. a.

Overdraft interest payments shall be due on a monthly basis in arrears on the last day of each calendar month.

The Bank shall provide the Borrower with a monthly statement of overdraft interest together with the balance statement for the current account.

Neither the above provisions nor the occurrence of tolerated overdrafts shall entitle the Borrower to any toleration/granting of corresponding overdrafts of the Available Credit Facility.

In the case of any discrepancies between the above provisions and any other agreements on overdraft interest between the Bank and the Borrower the above provisions shall prevail.

3.4 Money market loans

Money market loans may be utilised in EUR.

Money market loans may have terms (interest periods) of one month or three months. Subject to the Bank’s consent, differing terms are possible in the specific case. The term of a money market loan may not exceed the term of the credit facility granted hereunder.

Every money market loan is to be repaid in EUR on its maturity together with the respective interest thereon. If a money market loan is due on a day which is not a business day, the term of that money market loan will instead end on the next business day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding business day (if there is not).

5

The nominal amount of a money market loan must have a minimum amount of EUR 1,000,000.00 or, if higher, an integral multiple of EUR 100,000.00.

For money market loans in EUR, the Bank charges the Borrowers interest at the EURIBOR plus a margin of 2.25 per cent. p.a. on the respective money market loan. If the EURIBOR rate is 0 % or less than 0 %, the Borrowers shall pay interest at a rate equal to the margin.

EURIBOR means the interest rate published on Reuters page “EURIBOR” (or any successor to that page) for deposits in Euro in the interbank market with a comparable term two banking days prior to disbursement of a money market loan.

If the EURIBOR’s essential calculation base changes or may no longer be determined temporarily or permanently, the Bank will use the reference interest rate which replaces the EURIBOR or another suitable reference interest rate (“replacement reference interest rate”). The Bank will inform the Borrowers of the replacement reference interest rate in due course.

For the purpose of fixing the interest rate for the respective money market loan, the Borrowers shall send the Bank a Utilisation Request specifying the amount and currency of the money market loan, the disbursement date and the term thereof not later than 10 a.m. (local time in Frankfurt am Main) on the day that is two business days prior to the day on which the loan is to be disbursed.

Business day means a day other than a Saturday and Sunday on which banks are open for general business in Frankfurt am Main.

If the EURIBOR cannot be determined on the day that is two business days prior to the day of disbursement of a money market loan, the parties shall negotiate on the interest rate and the term of the respective money market loan. The Bank shall not be obliged to disburse the money market loan until an agreement is reached. If such agreement on the interest rate and the term cannot be reached within 15 days, the Bank shall not be obliged to grant the money market loan.

3.5 Guarantees

Under the credit facility, the Bank may be instructed to issue prepayment guarantees provided that they are directly linked with the working capital to be financed.

The Bank reserves the right to refuse at its discretion the issuance of a guarantee on an individual basis due to the risks which may arise from the wording, the tenor, the beneficiary and or the underlying transaction.

All other conditions will be agreed upon the Borrower or Co-Borrower instructing the Bank to issue a guarantee. In case an agreement cannot be reached, the Bank is not obliged to issue the guarantee.

The guarantee fee for each guarantee shall be payable quarterly in advance on the last day of the previous quarter. The Bank charges the Borrowers the fee for the current remaining quarter upon issuance of the guarantee on a pro-rata temporis basis.

The Bank charges EUR 75.00 per guarantee for the execution of a guarantee document and EUR 50.00 for each amendment per guarantee.

In addition, the Bank’s “General Conditions for Guarantee Business” shall apply which are enclosed herewith

6

3.6 Documentary import letters of credit

Under the credit facility, the Bank may be instructed to issue documentary import letters of credit provided that they are directly linked with the working capital to be financed.

The conditions for each individual documentary letter of credit are always agreed upon separately when giving an instruction to issue a documentary letter of credit. If an agreement cannot be obtained, the Bank shall not be obliged to issue the documentary letter of credit.

3.7 Other fees

(a) Commitment fee

From the effective date of this Agreement, a commitment fee at the rate of 0.3 per cent. p.a. on the undrawn balance of the Credit Commitment is agreed between the Borrowers and the Bank. The commitment fee shall be due for payment monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month.

(b) Fees

In addition to the interest, commissions and fees agreed above, the Borrower shall pay the Bank the following fees in connection with the Borrowing Base Facility:

(i) a non-recurring arrangement fee of 0.7% of the Credit Commitment (“Arrangement Fee”). The Arrangement Fee is due and payable five business days after the signing of this Agreement,

(ii) an annual fee for the annual Borrowing Base audit and for the ongoing duties of the Bank within the scope of the periodical Borrowing Base determination of EUR 15,000.00 (“Borrowing Base Monitoring Fee”). The Borrowing Base Monitoring Fee is due and payable on a pro-rata temporis basis 14 business days after the signing of this Agreement and thereafter on the fifth business days in January of each calendar year.

3.8 Method of calculation

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, interest, commission and other fees shall be calculated on the basis of “act/360”, i.e. the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

3.9 Debit authorisation

The Bank may debit interest, commission and other fees payable under this Clause 3 to any current account of the Borrower, or, as the case may be, of any Co-Borrower, held with the Bank.

4. Costs and Expenses

5. Term / Repayment of utilisation

5.1 The Credit Commitment is granted until 31.01.2023.

5.2 During the term of the Credit Commitment, drawings on current account may be repaid at any time. Other utilisations may only be repaid at the end of the term agreed from time to time or in accordance with any special conditions which may be applicable to them.

If, after determination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Clause 8 (Borrowing Base), the aggregate of all outstanding utilisation of the Borrower exceeds the Available Credit Facility, the Borrower shall be obliged to repay the excess amount to the Bank within three business days after receipt of the Borrowing Base Confirmation pursuant to Clause 8.3 (Borrowing Base Confirmation) without an explicit or separate payment request being required. If repayment is not possible at short notice due to the type of utilisation, the Borrower shall be obliged to pay an amount equal to the excess amount to an account held with the Bank in the name of the Borrower and pledged to the Bank with first rank within the above-mentioned period.

If, after determination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Clause 8 (Borrowing Base), the aggregate credit limits allocated to the Co-Borrowers under respective Loan Transfer Orders exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall promptly reduce these credit limits so that the reduced credit limits are covered by the Borrowing Base. Such reduced credit limits shall become effective three business days after receipt of the Borrowing Base Confirmation. If, after such reduction of credit limits, utilizations from any Co-Borrower exceeds its respective credit limit, such utilizations shall immediately be repaid so that they are covered by the respective credit limit. If repayment is not possible at short notice due to the type of utilisation, the Borrower shall be obliged to pay an amount equal to the excess amount to an account held with the Bank in the name of the Borrower and pledged to the Bank with first rank within the above-mentioned period.

If the Borrower does not comply with the aforementioned obligation to reduce allocated credit limits, to repay the excess amount or to deposit the required amount in a pledged account, the Bank may immediately notify the Co-Debtors and the Parent without separate prior notification of the Borrowing Base Providers or the Borrowers. Further rights which the Bank may have resulting from this Agreement and/or the security documents shall remain unaffected.

The above shall not apply if the Borrower proves to the Bank’s satisfaction by submitting a new Borrowing Base Report that

(a) the Borrowing Base has increased again in the meantime compared to the Borrowing Base Report last submitted;

(b) the outstanding utilisation does not exceed the Available Credit Facility;

(c) the credit limits allocated to Co-Borrowers do not exceed the Borrowing Base; and

(d) the Bank has confirmed the new Borrowing Base to the Borrower.

5.3 At the end of the term of the Credit Commitment, all outstanding utilisations of the Borrowers shall be repaid in one sum. If a fixed term has been agreed for money market loans, these loans shall be repaid at the end of the agreed term, except in the event of termination for cause.

8

5.4 If the Bank has issued guarantees or documentary letters of credit by order of the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall release the Bank at the end of the Credit Commitment’s term from its obligations under the guarantees or documentary letters of credit that are still outstanding. If the Borrowers fail to comply with their obligation to release the Bank within a reasonable period of time set by the Bank, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank a cash amount in the sum and currency of the exposure from guarantees or documentary letters of credit to secure the Bank’s claim to the reimbursement of expenses.

6. Payments/Taxes

6.1 All payments to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any taxes, duties, levies or imposts (“Tax” or “Taxes”) unless the Borrowers are compelled by law to make payment subject to such Taxes. If any Taxes or amounts in respect thereof must be deducted from any amounts payable or paid by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Bank receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment not been made subject to such Taxes.

All Taxes in respect of this Agreement and any amounts paid or payable hereunder shall be paid by the Borrowers when due and in any event prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto. As soon as possible, in any event within 30 days, after each payment by the Borrowers hereunder of Tax or in respect of Taxes, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Bank evidence (including all relevant Tax receipts) that such Tax has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority.

7. Security

7.1 The following — already provided or still to be provided by the Borrowing Base Providers — shall serve as security for the Bank’s claims arising under or in relation to this Agreement:

8. Borrowing Base

8.1 Definition of Borrowing Base

10

“Borrowing Base” is defined as the loan value agreed, confirmed by the Bank and expressed in Euro, of those economic goods of the Borrowing Base Providers in which the Bank acquires a (prior-ranking) security interest under the separate security agreements concluded or still to be concluded, and which are included in the periodical calculation of the Borrowing Base according to the Calculation Scheme pursuant to ANNEX I (Calculation Scheme Borrowing Base).

8.2 Borrowing Base reporting

The Borrowing Base is calculated monthly on the basis of the Borrowing Base Reports provided by the Borrower. The Borrowing Base Report is the Borrowing Base Providers’ status report for the calculation of the Borrowing Base which must be filed in the form according to ANNEX II (Report for the calculation of the Borrowing Base). The accompanying documents to be transmitted to the Bank are stated in ANNEX I (Calculation Scheme Borrowing Base), specifically letter b). The borrowing base calculated by the Borrower from time to time is shown there as “Borrowing Base total”. The Borrowing Base shall be the aggregate of the “Borrowing Base totals” from all Borrowing Base Providers, provided that the Bank confirms such calculation in accordance with Clause 8.3.

Reporting date is always the last day of the month (the “Reporting Date”). The Borrower shall be obliged to make the Borrowing Base Report, available to the Bank by 12 a.m. on the 15. business day of each month at the latest (the “Delivery Date”).

A Borrowing Base Report, duly signed by the Borrower in a legally binding manner, shall be sent by e-mail, together with the accompanying documents attached thereto (including the relevant pdf file of the duly signed Borrowing Base Report), to the following e-mail address of the Bank:

borrowing.base@commerzbank.com

8.3 Borrowing Base Confirmation

After checking the documents submitted by the Borrower in due time as to plausibility, the Bank shall send the Borrower by the 17th business day after the Reporting Date a Borrowing Base Confirmation by e-mail (including the relevant Borrowing Base Confirmation in the form of a pdf-file attached). A Borrowing Base Confirmation is the Bank’s confirmation by which it notifies the Borrower about the amount of the Borrowing Base calculated on the basis of the Borrowing Base Report for the Borrowing Base Application Period and thus also determines the amount of the Available Credit Facility applicable from time to time.

The Borrowing Base Confirmation shall be sent to the following e-mail addresses of the Borrower:

8.4 Borrowing Base Application Period

“Borrowing Base Application Period” shall be the period commencing on the 18th business day of each month and ending at the end of the 17th business day of the next following month. If a Borrowing Base Application Period ends without a new Borrowing Base Confirmation being sent by the Bank because the Borrowing Base Report was not submitted or not submitted correctly, the Bank shall be entitled to set the Borrowing Base to “zero”. The obligation pursuant to Clause 0 shall apply. The Bank will inform the Borrower without delay, if it considers a Borrowing Base Report to be incorrect.

8.5 Calculation Scheme / Haircuts

The Calculation Scheme Borrowing Base in ANNEX I is the result of the agreements made with the Borrower following the audit activities carried out by the Bank at the Borrowing Base Providers’ premises and their most important storage facilities. Both the Borrower and the Bank may demand a change in the haircuts stated in ANNEX I (Calculation Scheme Borrowing Base) under letter c), if they do not or no longer adequately reflect the underlying loan value of the assets serving as security in total or individually, or if the objective circumstances applicable for the valuation have changed materially or threaten to change materially in the foreseeable future.

8.6 Borrowing Base Recurring Audit

At least once in each calendar year, an audit of the data transmitted by the Borrower to the Bank as well as of the security will be performed by the Bank or a third party instructed by the Bank at the Borrowing Base Providers’ premises locally or at the premises of a third party where the assets serving as security or parts thereof are stored, at the Borrower’s costs (Borrowing Base Recurring Audit). The Borrowing Base Providers are required to perform any acts and issue any declarations which make this audit possible for the Bank or the third party instructed by the Bank and to refrain from any acts obstructing the audit.

The Bank shall be authorised at any time to carry out further audits of the data transmitted by the Borrowing Base Providers as well as of the security if there are reasonable doubts as to the completeness and/or correctness of the transmitted data. In the event that the audit shows that the doubts were unfounded, the Bank shall bear the costs of the audit, otherwise the Borrower.

8.7 Unencumbered security

The Borrowing Base Providers are obliged to present to the Bank once per year as per the end of its fiscal year a written confirmation of its auditors that the security as per Clause 7 of this Agreement are free from any liens and encumbrances in favour of other banks or leasing or factoring companies.

9. Representations and warranties

The Borrower represents that with the exception of the documents set out in no. 14.1, no corporate, governmental or other public consents, authorisations or approvals are required in connection with the granting and repayment of the credit facility pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and US federal law.

10. Covenants

10.1 Minimum capital ratio

12

The capital ratio during the term of this Agreement shall be at least 20 % at all times on the reporting dates.

The definition and calculation of the capital ratio are set forth in Annex III to this Agreement, in particular code 83006.

The basis for the calculation shall be the individual financial statement (“Bericht über die prüferische Durchsicht des Berichtspakets”) of the Borrower for the relevant financial year, using the same accounting and valuation methodology as in previous years.

The Borrower shall prove compliance with the above covenant to the Bank by submitting the financial statements and confirm such compliance in writing. The relevant documents shall each be submitted to the Bank immediately on completion and without special request, but no later than nine months after the end of the relevant financial year, and shall always be prepared in accordance with the same accounting and valuation methods. Should the accounting and valuation methods generally change, the Borrower shall notify the Bank thereof and deliver to the Bank with the first set of financial statements applying the new methods a description of any change in form and substance as may be reasonably required by the Bank to make an accurate comparison between the financial position indicated in the delivered financial statements and the previously delivered financial statements.

10.2 The Borrowing Base Providers shall be obliged to collect their trade receivables which are the subject to the assignments as per Clause 0 through their accounts held with the Bank. The Borrowing Base Providers will instruct their contracting parties accordingly and adjust the payment details in their invoices correspondingly.

10.3 The Borrowing Base Providers are obliged to ensure that the Bank’s claims with respect to the Loan will rank at least pari passu with the claims of other creditors of the Borrowing Base Providers. Should the Borrowing Base Providers provide security to other creditors by which those would be better secured than the Bank, the Borrowing Base Providers will allow beforehand or simultaneously that the Bank participates in this security in the same rank or offer equivalent and equally ranking security. Prior to a restructuring of short term unsecured credit agreements into longer term secured credit agreements, the Borrower will offer to the Bank a restructuring of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank including the respective security. The Borrowing Base Providers confirm to the Bank that prior to the Effectiveness of the Agreement they have not provided security to other creditors with similar credit facilities by which those creditors would be ranking higher than the Bank.

10.4 The Borrower is obliged to immediately inform the Bank about existing and future agreements with other creditors on the compliance of financial covenants and to treat the Bank in an equal manner concerning the agreement and compliance with financial covenants. Should the Borrower wish to agree financial covenants with other creditors, the Borrower will offer an amendment to this Agreement concerning the compliance with financial covenants by which the Bank would be in the same position as the other creditors concerning the compliance with financial covenants. The Borrower confirms to the Bank that prior to the Effectiveness of this Agreement it has not agreed on the compliance with financial covenants with other creditors.

10.5 The Borrower covenants to maintain its main production facility for the production of Steinway concert and upright pianos (the “Products”) in Hamburg for the lifetime of the Agreement. The Borrower further covenants to maintain its present sales area responsibility, being the delivery of Products to local sales entities covering the European and the Asian market, in particular China.

13

10.6 If the obligations listed above are not complied with by the Borrowing Base Providers and/or the financial covenants stipulated above are not complied with or compliance with the covenants is not confirmed or not confirmed in due time by the submission of relevant documents, the Bank shall set a deadline for the Borrower or, as the case may be, the Borrowing Base Providers, to remedy this breach, if the breach is, in the opinion of a reasonable businessman (“ordentlicher Kaufmann”), capable of remedy within 30 days. If a deadline for remedial action has not been set or if the set deadline has unsuccessfully expired, the Bank shall be initially entitled to require the Borrower to provide or increase bankable securities to secure the claims of the Bank under this Agreement. Further rights that may accrue to the Bank under this Agreement, other agreements or according to its General Terms and Conditions, shall remain unaffected.

10.7 Basis for the granting of credit is furthermore that the current structure of the ownership and/or control of the Borrowers and the Borrowing Base Providers remains unchanged. Therefore, if there is a “Change of Control” during the term of this Agreement, the Bank is entitled to terminate this Agreement. The Borrower is obliged to inform the Bank immediately upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control” and the Bank shall give notice to the Borrower whether or it avails itself of such termination right within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of the Borrower’s notice stating that a such “Change of Control” has occurred (or such longer period the Borrower and the Bank may agree on). In case the Bank makes use of its termination right, it shall terminate the Loan with a notice period of at least twenty (20) Business Days.

For the purposes of this Clause 10.7, “Change of Control” means that there is any change in the structure of the ownership and/or control any of the Borrowers or any Borrowing Base Provider such that the Guarantor, (i) does no longer directly or indirectly hold 75 per cent or more of the capital interests in and voting rights of any of the Borrowers or of each of the Borrowing Base Providers or (ii) does no longer have a controlling influence on any of the

Borrowers or on all of the Borrowing Base Providers (as per section 290 para 2 of the German Commercial Code). A controlling influence can be assumed, if the appointment of the management board of any of the Borrower or of the respective Borrowing Base Provider is controlled.

11. Disclosure of the financial situation / reporting

11.1 The Borrower shall keep the Bank informed of its financial situation and that of the Parent and that of its associated companies, if any, on a timely basis, and shall submit the following documents to the Bank within the periods below in each case without special request:
