AGREEMENT made this 18th day of December, 1995, between THE PILOT FUNDS
(the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust having its principal place of
business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and BISYS FUND SERVICES,
INC. ("BISYS"), a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
WHEREAS, the Trust desires that BISYS perform certain services for
those series of the Trust set forth in Schedule A attached hereto, as such
Schedule may be amended from time to time (individually referred to herein as a
"Fund" and collectively as the "Funds"); and
WHEREAS, BISYS is willing to perform such services on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services.
BISYS shall perform for the Trust the transfer agent services set
forth in Schedule B hereto.
BISYS also agrees to perform for the Trust such special services
incidental to the performance of the services enumerated herein as agreed to by
the parties from time to time. BISYS shall perform such additional services as
are provided on an amendment to Schedule B hereof, in consideration of such fees
as the parties hereto may agree.
BISYS may, in its discretion and upon written notice to the
Trust, appoint in writing other parties qualified to perform transfer agency
services reasonably acceptable to the Trust (individually, a "Sub-transfer
Agent") to carry out some or all of its responsibilities under this Agreement
with respect to a Fund; provided, however, that the Sub-transfer Agent shall be
the agent of BISYS and not the agent of the Trust or such Fund, and that BISYS
shall be fully responsible for the acts of such Sub-transfer Agent and shall not
be relieved of any of its responsibilities hereunder by the appointment of such
Sub-transfer Agent.
2. Fees.
The Trust shall pay BISYS for the services to be provided by BISYS
under this Agreement in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in,
Schedule C hereto. BISYS may increase the fees it charges pursuant to the fee
schedule; provided, however, that BISYS may not increase such fees until the
expiration of the Initial Term of this Agreement (as defined below), unless the
Trust otherwise agrees to such change in writing. Fees for any additional
services to be
2
provided by BISYS pursuant to an amendment to Schedule B hereto shall be subject
to mutual agreement at the time such amendment to Schedule B is proposed.
3. Reimbursement of Expenses.
In addition to paying BISYS the fees described in Section 2 hereof,
the Trust agrees to reimburse BISYS for BISYS' reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
in providing services hereunder, including without limitation, the following:
(a) All freight and other delivery and bonding charges incurred by
BISYS in delivering materials to and from the Trust and in
delivering all materials to shareholders;
(b) All direct telephone, telephone transmission and telecopy or
other electronic transmission expenses incurred by BISYS in
communication with the Trust, the Trust's investment adviser
or custodian, dealers, shareholders or others as required for
BISYS to perform the services to be provided hereunder;
(c) Costs of postage, couriers, stock computer paper, statements,
labels, envelopes, checks, reports, letters, tax forms,
proxies, notices or other form of printed material which shall
be required by BISYS for the performance of the services to be
provided hereunder;
(d) The cost of microfilm or microfiche of records or other
materials; and
(e) Any expenses BISYS shall incur at the written direction of an
officer of the Trust thereunto duly authorized.
4. Effective Date.
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written
above (the "Effective Date").
5. Term.
This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to a Fund,
unless earlier terminated by either party hereto as provided hereunder, until
June 1, 1997. Thereafter, it shall be renewed automatically for successive
one-year terms unless written notice not to renew is given by the non-renewing
party to the other party at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the
then-current term; provided, however, that after such termination, for so long
as BISYS, with the written consent of the Trust, in fact continues to perform
any one or more of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any Schedule
or exhibit hereto, the provisions of this Agreement, including without
limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification, shall continue in full
force and effect. Fees and
2
3
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BISYS but unpaid by the Trust upon
such termination shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding
such termination. BISYS shall be entitled to collect from the Trust, in addition
to the fees and disbursements provided by Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the amount of
all of BISYS' cash disbursements and a reasonable fee (which fee shall be not
less than one hundred and two percent (102%) of the sum of the actual costs
incurred by BISYS in performing such service) for services in connection with
BISYS' activities in effecting such termination, including without limitation,
the delivery to the Trust and/or its distributor or investment adviser and/or
other parties, of the Trust's property, records, instruments and documents, or
any copies thereof. To the extent that BISYS may retain in its possession copies
of any Trust documents or records subsequent to such termination which copies
had not been requested by or on behalf of the Trust in connection with the
termination process described above, BISYS, for a reasonable fee, will provide
the Trust with reasonable access to such copies.
6. Uncontrollable Events.
BISYS assumes no responsibility hereunder, and shall not be
liable for any damage, loss of data, delay or any other loss whatsoever caused
by events beyond its reasonable control.
7. Legal Advice.
BISYS shall notify the Trust at any time BISYS believes that
it is in need of the advice of counsel (other than counsel in the regular employ
of BISYS or any affiliated companies) with regard to BISYS' responsibilities and
duties pursuant to this Agreement; and after so notifying the Trust, BISYS, at
its discretion, shall be entitled to seek, receive and act upon advice of legal
counsel of its choosing, such advice to be at the expense of the Trust or Funds
unless relating to a matter involving BISYS' willful misfeasance, bad faith,
negligence or reckless disregard with respect to BISYS' responsibilities and
duties hereunder and BISYS shall in no event be liable to the Trust or any Fund
or any shareholder or beneficial owner of the Trust for any action reasonably
taken pursuant to such advice.

hereunder pursuant to instructions from a shareholder, or a properly authorized
agent of a shareholder ("shareholder's agent"), concerning an account in a Fund,
BISYS shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, letter or other instrument
or communication, believed by BISYS to be genuine and to have been properly
made, signed or authorized by an officer or other authorized agent of the Trust
or by the shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be, and shall be
entitled to receive as conclusive proof of any fact or matter required to be
ascertained by it hereunder a certificate signed by an officer of the Trust or
any other person authorized by the Trust's Board of Trustees or by the
shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be.

in a timely manner from the Trust.
9. Standard of Care; Reliance on Records and Instructions;
Indemnification.
BISYS shall use its best efforts to ensure the accuracy of all
services performed under this Agreement, but shall not be liable to the Trust
for any action taken or omitted by BISYS in the absence of bad faith, willful
misfeasance, negligence or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and
duties. BISYS hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, and its
series, for any action taken or omitted by BISYS, in the exercise of its
responsibilities under this Agreement in bad faith, willful misfeasance,
negligence, or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties. The
Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BISYS, its employees, agents,
directors, officers and nominees from and against any and all claims, demands,
actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and
all judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and
other reasonable expenses of every nature and character arising out of or in any
way relating to BISYS' actions taken or nonactions with respect to the
performance of services under this Agreement or based, if applicable, upon
reasonable reliance on information, records, instructions or requests given or
made to BISYS by the Trust, the investment adviser and on any records provided
by any fund accountant or custodian thereof; provided that this indemnification
shall not apply to actions or omissions of BISYS in cases of its own bad faith,
willful misfeasance, negligence or from reckless disregard by it of its
obligations and duties; and further provided that prior to confessing any claim
against it which may be the subject of this indemnification, BISYS shall give
the Trust written notice of and reasonable opportunity to defend against said
claim in its own name or in the name of BISYS.
10. Record Retention and Confidentiality.
BISYS shall keep and maintain on behalf of the Trust all books
and records which the Trust or BISYS is, or may be, required to keep and
maintain pursuant to any applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including
without limitation Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), relating to the maintenance of books and
records in connection with the services to be provided hereunder. BISYS further
agrees that all such books and records shall be the property of the Trust and to
make such books and records available for inspection by the Trust or by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") at reasonable times and
otherwise to keep confidential all books and records and other information
relative to the Trust and its shareholders, except when requested to divulge
such information by duly-constituted authorities or court process, or requested
by a shareholder or shareholder's agent with respect to information concerning
an account as to which such shareholder has either a legal or beneficial
interest or when requested by the Trust, the shareholder, or shareholder's
agent, or the dealer of record as to such account.

11. Reports.
BISYS will furnish to the Trust and to its properly-authorized
auditors, investment advisers, examiners, distributors, dealers, underwriters,
salesmen, insurance companies and others designated by the Trust in writing,
such reports at such times as are prescribed in Schedule D attached hereto, or
as subsequently agreed upon by the parties pursuant to an amendment to Schedule
D. The Trust agrees to examine each such report or copy promptly and will report
or cause to be reported any errors or discrepancies therein not later than ten
business days from the receipt thereof. In the event that errors or
discrepancies, except such errors and discrepancies as may not reasonably be
expected to be discovered by the recipient within ten days after conducting a
diligent examination, are not so reported within the aforesaid period of time, a
report will for all purposes be accepted by and be binding upon the Trust and
any other recipient, and BISYS shall have no liability for errors or
discrepancies therein and shall have no further responsibility with respect to
such report except to perform reasonable corrections of such errors and
discrepancies within a reasonable time after requested to do so by the Trust.
12. Rights of Ownership.
All computer programs and procedures developed to perform
services required to be provided by BISYS under this Agreement are the property
of BISYS. All records and other data except such computer programs and
procedures are the exclusive property of the Trust and all such other records
and data will be furnished to the Trust in appropriate usable form as soon as
practicable after termination of this Agreement for any reason.
13. Return of Records.
BISYS may at its option at any time, and shall promptly upon
the Trust's demand, turn over to the Trust and cease to retain BISYS' files,
records and documents created and maintained by BISYS pursuant to this Agreement
which are no longer needed by BISYS in the performance of its services or for
its legal protection. If not so turned over to the Trust, such documents and
records will be retained by BISYS for six years from the year of creation or
such longer period as may be required by law. At the end of such period, such
records and documents will be turned over to the Trust unless the Trust
authorizes in writing the destruction of such records and documents.
14. Bank Accounts.
The Trust and the Funds shall establish and maintain such bank
accounts with such bank or banks as are selected by the Trust, as are necessary
in order that BISYS may perform the services required to be performed hereunder.

to disburse amounts for payment of dividends, redemption proceeds or other
purposes, the Trust and Funds shall provide such bank or banks with all
instructions and authorizations necessary for BISYS to effect such
disbursements.
