Pear Tree Advisors, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer agent for each of Pear Tree Polaris Small Cap Fund, Pear Tree Quality Fund, Pear Tree PanAgora Emerging Markets Fund, Pear Tree Polaris Foreign Value Fund and Pear Tree Polaris Foreign Value Small Cap Fund (each, a “Fund”), series of Pear Tree Funds (the “Trust”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Transfer Agent and Service Agreement dated May 1, 2008, as amended (the “Transfer Agreement”), between the Transfer Agent and the Trust.
With respect to each Fund, the Transfer Agent xxxxxx agrees for the period August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019 (the “Waiver Period”) to waive such portion of the fees that the Transfer Agent would otherwise receive under the Transfer Agreement for serving as transfer agent to the Fund such that the aggregate transfer agent fee with respect to Institutional Shares of the Fund that the Transfer Agent would receive during the Waiver Period would be calculated using an annual rate of 0.04 percent of the Fund’s net asset value attributable to Institutional Shares.

This Waiver Obligation only may be rescinded, amended or modified, and the Waiver Period terminated, in whole or in part, without further obligation by the Transfer Agent at such time and on such terms as may be determined by the Trustees, including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
