December by and among Epiphany Funds (the "Fund"), an Ohio Business Trust,
Trinity Fiduciary Partners, LLC (the "Adviser"), a Texas Limited Liability
Company and Matrix Capital Group (the "Distributor"), a New York corporation.
WITNESSETH THAT:
WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")
and has registered its shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") in one or more distinct
series of Shares (the "Portfolio" or "Portfolios");
WHEREAS, the Adviser has been appointed investment adviser to the Fund;
WHEREAS, the Distributor is a broker-dealer registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and a member in good standing
of the NASD Regulation, Inc. (the "NASD"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund, the Adviser and the Distributor desire to enter into
this Agreement pursuant to which the Distributor will provide distribution
services to the Portfolios of the Fund identified on Schedule A, as may be
amended from time to time, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement, the Fund, the Adviser and the Distributor,
intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Distributor. The Fund hereby appoints the Distributor as
its agent for the distribution of the Shares, and the Distributor hereby accepts
such appointment under the terms of this Agreement. The Fund shall not sell any
Shares to any person except to fill orders for the Shares received through the
Distributor; provided, however, that the foregoing exclusive right shall not
apply: (i) to Shares issued or sold in connection with the merger or
consolidation of any other investment company with the Fund or the acquisition
by purchase or otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets of any
investment company or substantially all of the outstanding shares of any such
company by the Fund; (ii) to Shares which may be offered by the Fund to its
shareholders for reinvestment of cash distributed from capital gains or net
investment income of the Fund; or (iii) to Shares which may be issued to
shareholders of other funds who exercise any exchange privilege set forth in the
Fund's Prospectus. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Fund may
terminate, suspend, or withdraw the offering of the Shares whenever, in its sole
discretion, it deems such action to be desirable, and the Distributor shall
process no further orders for Shares after it receives notice of such
termination, suspension or withdrawal.
2. Fund Documents. The Fund has provided the Distributor with properly
certified or authenticated copies of the following Fund related documents in
effect on the date hereof: the Fund's organizational documents, including
Articles of Incorporation and by-laws; the Fund's Registration Statement on Form
N-1A, including all exhibits thereto; the Fund's most current Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information; and resolutions of the Fund's Board of
Trustees authorizing the appointment of the Distributor and approving this
Agreement. The Fund shall promptly provide to the Distributor copies, properly
certified or authenticated, of all amendments or supplements to the foregoing.
The Fund shall provide to the Distributor copies of all other information which
the Distributor may reasonably request for use in connection with the
distribution of Shares, including, but not limited to, a certified copy of all
financial statements prepared for the Fund by its independent public
accountants. The Fund shall also supply the Distributor with such number of
copies of the current Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information and
shareholder reports as the Distributor shall reasonably request.
3. Distribution Services. The Distributor shall sell and repurchase Shares
as set forth below; subject to the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder, and the laws governing the sale of
securities in the various states ("Blue Sky Laws"):
a. The Distributor, as agent for the Fund, shall sell Shares to the
public against orders therefore at the public offering price, as
determined in accordance with the Fund's then current Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information.
b. The net asset value of the Shares shall be determined in the
manner provided in the then current Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information. The net asset value of the Shares shall
be calculated by the Fund or by another entity on behalf of the
Fund. The Distributor shall have no duty to inquire into or
liability for the accuracy of the net asset value per share as
calculated unless the Distributor, or its subsidiary, acts as the
Fund's accounting service provider pursuant to a separate
agreement.
c. Upon receipt of purchase instructions, the Distributor shall
transmit such instructions to the Fund or its transfer agent for
registration of the Shares purchased.
d. The Distributor shall also have the right to take, as agent for the
Fund, all legally permissible actions that, in the Distributor's
judgment, are necessary to effect the distribution of Shares.
e. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Distributor or any
"affiliated person" from buying, selling or trading any
securities for its or their own account or for the accounts of
others for whom it or they may be acting; provided, however, that
the Distributor expressly agrees that it shall not for its own
account purchase any Shares of the Fund except for investment
purposes and that it shall not for its own account sell any such
Shares except for redemption of such Shares by the Fund, and that
it shall not undertake activities which, in its judgment, would
adversely affect the performance of its obligations to the Fund
under this Agreement.
f. The Distributor, as agent for the Fund, shall repurchase Shares at
such prices and upon such terms and conditions as shall be specified
in the Prospectus.
4. Distribution Support Services. In addition to the sale and repurchase
of Shares, the Distributor shall perform the distribution support services set
forth on Schedule B attached hereto, as may be amended from time to time. Such
distribution support services shall include: Review of sales and marketing
literature and submission to the NASD; NASD record keeping; and quarterly
reports to the Fund's Board of Directors. Such distribution support services may
also include: fulfillment services, including telemarketing, printing, mailing
and follow-up tracking of sales leads; and licensing Adviser or Fund personnel
as registered representatives of the Distributor and related supervisory
activities.
5. Reasonable Efforts. The Distributor shall use all reasonable efforts in
connection with the distribution of Shares. The Distributor shall have no
obligation to sell any specific number of Shares and shall only sell Shares
against orders received therefore. The Fund shall retain the right to refuse at
any time to sell any of its Shares for any reason deemed adequate by it.
6. Compliance. In furtherance of the distribution services being provided
hereunder, the Distributor and the Fund agree as follows:
a. The Distributor shall comply with the Rules of Conduct of the NASD
and the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which it sells,
directly or indirectly, Shares.
b. The Distributor shall require each dealer with whom the Distributor
has a selling agreement to conform to the applicable provisions of
the Fund's most current Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information.
c. The Fund agrees to furnish to the Distributor sufficient copies
of any agreements, plans, communications with the public or other
materials it intends to use in connection with any sales of
Shares in a timely manner in order to allow the Distributor to
review, approve and file, if required, such materials with the
appropriate regulatory authorities and obtain clearance for use.
The Fund agrees not to use any such materials until so filed and
cleared for use by the Distributor and if required, by the NASD
or other appropriate authority.
d. The Distributor, at its own expense, shall qualify as a broker or
dealer, or otherwise, under all applicable Federal or state laws
required to permit the sale of Shares in all states and territories
of the U.S.
e. The Distributor shall not, in connection with any sale or
solicitation of a sale of the Shares, make or authorize any
representative, service organization, broker or dealer to make, any
representations concerning the Shares except those contained in the
Fund's most current Prospectus covering the Shares and in
communications with the public or sales materials approved by the
Distributor as information supplemental to such Prospectus.
7. Expenses.
a. The Fund shall bear the following expenses: preparation, setting
in type, and printing of sufficient copies of the Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information for distribution to existing
shareholders; preparation and printing of reports and other

original issue taxes or transfer taxes applicable to the sale or
delivery of the Shares or certificates therefore.
b. To the extent permitted under a plan adopted pursuant to rule
12b-1 or otherwise permitted under the 1940 Act, the Fund shall
pay expenses incident to the sale and distribution of the Shares
sold hereunder, including, without limitation: printing and
distributing copies of the Prospectus, Statement of Additional
Information and reports prepared for use in connection with the
offering of Shares for sale to the public; advertising in
connection with such offering, including public relations
services, sales presentations, media charges, preparation,
printing and mailing of advertising and sales literature; data
processing necessary to support a distribution effort;
distribution and shareholder servicing activities of
broker-dealers and other financial institutions; filing fees
required by regulatory authorities for sales literature and
advertising materials; any additional out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with the foregoing and any other costs of
distribution. The Adviser shall be responsible for any of the
foregoing expenses that the Fund is ineligible to pay under the
1940 Act provided the Adviser preapproved the expense.
8. Compensation. For the distribution and distribution support services
provided by the Distributor pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Fund
shall pay to the Distributor the compensation set forth in Schedule A attached
hereto, which schedule may be amended from time to time. The Fund shall also
reimburse the Distributor for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the
performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation,
telecommunications charges, postage and delivery charges, record retention
costs, reproduction charges and traveling and lodging expenses incurred by
officers and employees of the Distributor. The Fund shall pay the Distributor's
monthly invoices for distribution fees and out-of-pocket expenses within ten
days of the respective month-end. If this Agreement becomes effective subsequent
to the first day of the month or terminates before the last day of the month,
the Fund shall pay to the Distributor a distribution fee that is prorated for
that part of the month in which this Agreement is in effect. All rights of
compensation and reimbursement under this Agreement for services performed by
the Distributor up to the termination date shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
9. Use of Distributor's Name. The Fund shall not use the name of the
Distributor or any of its affiliates in the Prospectus, Statement of Additional
Information, sales literature or other material relating to the Fund in a manner
not approved prior thereto in writing by the Distributor; provided, however,
that the Distributor shall approve all uses of its and its affiliates' names
that merely refer in accurate terms to their appointments or that are required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or any state securities
commission; and further provided, that in no event shall such approval be
unreasonably withheld.
10. Use of Fund's Name. Neither the Distributor nor any of its affiliates
shall use the name of the Fund or materials relating to the Fund on any forms
(including any checks, bank drafts or bank statements) for other than internal
use in a manner not approved prior thereto by the Fund; provided, however, that
the Fund shall approve all uses of its name that merely refer in accurate terms
to the appointment of the Distributor hereunder or that are required by the SEC
or any state securities commission; and further provided, that in no event shall
such approval be unreasonably withheld.
11. Liability of Distributor. The duties of the Distributor shall be
limited to those expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties are assumed
by or may be asserted against the Distributor hereunder. The Distributor shall
not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement
relates, except to the extent of a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under
this Agreement. As used in this Section 11 and in Section 12 (except the second
paragraph of Section 12), the term "Distributor" shall include directors,
officers, employees and other agents of the Distributor.
12. Indemnification of Distributor. The Fund shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Distributor against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
claims and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements and investigation expenses incident thereto) which the
Distributor may incur or be required to pay hereafter, in connection with any
action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or
administrative or legislative body, in which the Distributor may be involved as
a party or otherwise or with which the Distributor may be threatened, by reason
of the offer or sale of the Fund shares prior to the effective date of this
Agreement.
Any director, officer, employee, shareholder or agent of the
Distributor who may be or become an officer, director, employee or agent of the
Fund, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Fund or acting on any
business of the Fund (other than services or business in connection with the
Distributor's duties hereunder), to be rendering such services to or acting
solely for the Fund and not as a director, officer, employee, shareholder or
agent, or one under the control or direction of the Distributor, even though
receiving a salary from the Distributor.
The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor, and
each person who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("1934 Act"), against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims and
expenses, joint or several (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements and investigation expenses incident thereto) to which
they, or any of them, may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the
1940 Act or other Federal or state laws or regulations, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such liabilities, losses, damages, claims and expenses (or
actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or relate to any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, supplement thereto, sales
literature or other written information prepared by the Fund and provided by the
Fund to the Distributor for the Distributor's use hereunder, or arise out of or
relate to any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading. The Distributor (or any person controlling the Distributor) shall
not be entitled to indemnity hereunder for any liabilities, losses, damages,
claims or expenses (or actions, suits or proceedings in respect thereof)
resulting from (i) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in the Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, or
supplement, sales or other literature, in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Fund by the Distributor specifically for
use therein or (ii) the Distributor's own willful misfeasance, bad faith,
negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations in the
performance of this Agreement.
The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, each
officer and Trustee of the Fund, and each person who controls the Fund within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, or Section 20 of the 1934 Act,
against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims and expenses, joint or
several (including, without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements and investigation expenses incident thereto) to which they, or any
of them, may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act or
other Federal or state laws, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
liabilities, losses, damages, claims or expenses arise out of or relate to: (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information or any supplement thereto
if based upon information furnished to the Fund by the Distributor specifically
for use therein; (ii) the distributor's own willful misfeasance, bad faith,
negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations in the
performance of this Agreement; (iii) or arise out of or relate to any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if based
upon information furnished to the Fund by the Distributor specifically for use
therein.
A party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnitee") shall
give prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought
("Indemnitor") of a written assertion or claim of any threatened or pending
legal proceeding which may be subject to indemnity under this Section; provided,
however, that failure to notify the Indemnitor of such written assertion or
claim shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability arising from this
Section. The Indemnitor shall be entitled, if it so elects, to assume the
defense of any suit brought to enforce a claim subject to this Indemnity and
such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnitor and
satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the defendants
include both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to
it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor
("conflict of interest"), the Indemnitor shall not have the right to elect to
defend such claim on behalf of the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have the
right to select separate counsel to defend such claim on behalf of the
Indemnitee. In the event that the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of any
suit pursuant to the preceding sentence and retains counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall bear the fees and expenses of additional
counsel retained by it, except for reasonable investigation costs which shall be
borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor (i) does not elect to assume the
defense of a claim, (ii) elects to assume the defense of a claim but chooses
counsel that is not satisfactory to the Indemnitee or (iii) has no right to
assume the defense of a claim because of a conflict of interest, the Indemnitor
shall advance or reimburse the Indemnitee, at the election of the Indemnitee,
reasonable fees and disbursements of any counsel retained by Indemnitee,
including reasonable investigation costs.
13. Dual Employees. The Adviser agrees that only its employees who are
registered representatives of the Distributor ("dual employees") shall offer or
sell Shares of the Portfolios and further agrees that the activities of any such
employees as registered representatives of the Distributor shall be limited to
offering and selling Shares. If there are dual employees, one employee of the
Adviser shall register as a principal of the Distributor and assist the
Distributor in monitoring the marketing and sales activities of the dual
employees. If there are dual employees, the Adviser shall maintain errors and
omissions and fidelity bond insurance policies providing reasonable coverage for
its employee's activities and shall provide copies of such policies to the
Distributor. If there are dual employees, the Adviser shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Distributor against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and
investigation costs incident thereto) arising from or related to the Adviser's
employees' activities as registered representatives of the Distributor,
including, without limitation, any and all such liabilities, losses, damages,
claims and expenses arising from or related to the breach by such dual employees
of any rules or regulations of the NASD or SEC.
14. Force Majeure. The Distributor shall not be liable for any delays or
errors occurring by reason of circumstances not reasonably foreseeable and
beyond its control, including, but not limited, to acts of civil or military
authority, national emergencies, work stoppages, fire, flood, catastrophe, acts
of God, insurrection, war, riot or failure of communication or power supply. In
the event of equipment breakdowns which are beyond the reasonable control of the
Distributor and not primarily attributable to the failure of the Distributor to
reasonably maintain or provide for the maintenance of such equipment, the
Distributor shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, take reasonable steps
in good faith to minimize service interruptions, but shall have no liability
with respect thereto.
15. Scope of Duties. The Distributor and the Fund shall regularly consult
with each other regarding the Distributor's performance of its obligations and
its compensation under the foregoing provisions. In connection therewith, the
Fund shall submit to the Distributor at a reasonable time in advance of filing
with the SEC copies of any amended or supplemented Registration Statement of the
Fund (including exhibits) under the 1940 Act and the 1933 Act, and at a
reasonable time in advance of their proposed use, copies of any amended or
supplemented forms relating to any plan, program or service offered by the Fund.
Any change in such materials that would require any change in the Distributor's
obligations under the foregoing provisions shall be subject to the Distributor's
approval. In the event that a change in such documents or in the procedures
contained therein increases the cost or burden to the Distributor of performing
its obligations hereunder, the Distributor shall be entitled to receive
reasonable compensation therefore.
16. Duration. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first

the period prior to the effective date of such termination. In the event that
the Fund designates a successor to any of the Distributor's obligations
hereunder, the Distributor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund of its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such transfer to such
successor all relevant books, records and other data established or maintained
by the Distributor pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
