TO:

Copeland Capital Management, LLC

Eight Tower Bridge

161 Washington Street

Conshohocken, PA 19428

Dear Sirs:

Copeland Trust (the “Trust”) herewith confirms our agreement with Copeland Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”).  The Trust has been organized to engage in the business of an open-end management investment company.  The Trust may offer several series of shares to investors.

The Adviser has been selected to act as the sole investment manager of the series of the Trust set forth on the Exhibits to this Agreement (each, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”) and to provide certain other services, as more fully set forth below, and the Adviser is willing to act as such investment manager and to perform such services under the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.  Accordingly, the Trust agrees with the Adviser as follows effective upon the date of the execution of this Agreement.

1.

ADVISORY SERVICES

Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Adviser will provide or arrange to be provided to each Fund such investment advice as the Adviser in its discretion deem advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for each Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.  The Adviser will determine or arrange for others to determine the securities to be purchased for each Fund, the portfolio securities to be held or sold by each Fund and the portion of each Fund’s assets to be held uninvested, subject always to the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, as each of the same shall be from time to time in effect, and subject further to such policies and instructions as the Board may from time to time establish.  The Adviser will furnish such reports, evaluations, information or analyses to the Trust as the Board of Trustees of the Trust may request from time to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable.  The Adviser also will advise and assist the officers of the Trust in taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the decisions of the Board and the appropriate committees of the Board regarding the conduct of the business of the Trust.  The Adviser may delegate any of the responsibilities, rights or duties described above to one or more persons, provided the Adviser notify the Trust and agree that such delegation does not relieve the Adviser from any liability hereunder.  

The Adviser shall provide at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Trust of any change in the ownership or management of the Adviser, or any event or action that may constitute a change in control.  The Adviser shall provide prompt notice of any change in the portfolio manager(s) responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds.

2.

ALLOCATION OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES

The Adviser will pay the compensation and expenses of any persons rendering any services to the Trust who are directors, officers, employees, members or stockholders of the Adviser’s corporation or limited liability company and will make available, without expense to the Funds, the services of such of the Adviser’s employees as may duly be elected trustees or officers of the Trust, subject to their individual consent to serve and to any limitations imposed by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Funds will pay the compensation and expenses of the Trust's chief compliance officer, regardless of such officer’s affiliation with the Adviser, if the Board of Trustees determine that such payments are reasonable and in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders.  The compensation and expenses of any trustees, officers and employees of the Trust who are not directors, officers, employees, members or stockholders of the Adviser’s corporation or limited liability company will be paid by the Funds.  The Adviser will pay all advertising, promotion and other distribution expenses incurred in connection with each Fund’s shares to the extent such expenses are not permitted to be paid by the Fund under any distribution expense plan or any other permissible arrangement that may be adopted in the future.

Each Fund will be responsible for the payment of all operating expenses of the Fund, including the compensation and expenses of any employees of the Trust and of any other persons rendering any services to the Fund; clerical and shareholder service staff salaries; office space and other office expenses; fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with membership in investment company organizations; legal, auditing and accounting expenses; expenses of registering shares under federal and state securities laws, including expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with the organization and initial registration of shares of the Fund; insurance expenses; fees and expenses of the custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, shareholder service agent, plan agent, administrator, accounting and pricing services agent and underwriter of the Fund; expenses, including clerical expenses, of issue, sale, redemption or repurchase of shares of the Fund; the cost of preparing and distributing reports and notices to shareholders, the cost of printing or preparing prospectuses and statements of additional information for delivery to shareholders; the cost of printing or preparing stock certificates or any other documents, statements or reports to shareholders; expenses of shareholders’ meetings and proxy solicitations; advertising, promotion and other expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the sale or distribution of the Fund’s shares that the Fund is authorized to pay pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act; and all other operating expenses not specifically assumed by the Adviser.  Each Fund will also pay all brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as (a) interest and (b) dividend expenses on securities sold short), fees and expenses of the non-interested person Trustees and such extraordinary or non-recurring expenses as may arise, including litigation to which the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trust’s Trustees and officers with respect thereto.

The Adviser may obtain reimbursement from each Fund, at such time or times as the Adviser may determine in its sole discretion, for any of the expenses advanced by the Adviser, which the Fund is obligated to pay, and such reimbursement shall not be considered to be part of the Adviser’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement.

3.

COMPENSATION OF THE MANAGER

For all of the services to be rendered as provided in this Agreement, as of the last business day of each month, each Fund will pay the Adviser a fee based on the average value of the daily net assets of the Fund and paid at an annual rate as set forth on the Exhibit executed with respect to such Fund and attached hereto.  

The average value of the daily net assets of a Fund shall be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or a resolution of the Board of Trustees, if required.  If, pursuant to such provisions, the determination of net asset value of a Fund is suspended for any particular business day, then for the purposes of this paragraph, the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the value of the net assets as of the close of the business day, or as of such other time as the value of the Fund’s net assets may lawfully be determined, on that day.  If the determination of the net asset value of a Fund has been suspended for a period including such month, the Adviser’s compensation payable at the end of such month shall be computed on the basis of the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined (whether during or prior to such month).

4.

EXECUTION OF PURCHASE AND SALE ORDERS

In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the account of a Fund, it is understood that the Adviser will arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the account with brokers or dealers selected by the Adviser, subject to review of this selection by the Board of Trustees from time to time.  The Adviser will be responsible for the negotiation and the allocation of principal business and portfolio brokerage.  In the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the Adviser is directed at all times to seek for the Funds the best qualitative execution, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), the execution capability, financial responsibility and responsiveness of the broker or dealer and the brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer.

The Adviser should generally seek favorable prices and commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.  In seeking best qualitative execution, the Adviser is authorized to select brokers or dealers who also provide brokerage and research services to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser exercise investment discretion.  The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a Fund portfolio transaction which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the executing broker or dealer.  The determination may be viewed in terms of either a particular transaction or the Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to accounts over which the Adviser exercise investment discretion.  The Funds and the Adviser understand and acknowledge that, although the information may be useful to the Funds and the Adviser, it is not possible to place a dollar value on such information.  The Board of Trustees shall periodically review the commissions paid by each Fund to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund.

A broker’s or dealer's sale or promotion of Fund shares shall not be a factor considered by the Adviser’s personnel responsible for selecting brokers to effect securities transactions on behalf of the Fund.  The Adviser and its personnel shall not enter into any written or oral agreement or arrangement to compensate a broker or dealer for any promotion or sale of Fund shares by directing to such broker or dealer (i) the Fund's portfolio securities transactions or (ii) any remuneration, including but not limited to, any commission, mark-up, mark down or other fee received or to be received from the Fund's portfolio transactions through such broker or dealer.  However, the Adviser may place Fund portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that sell or promote shares of the Fund provided the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures under Rule 12b-1(h) under the Act and such transactions are conducted in compliance with those policies and procedures.

Subject to the provisions of the Act, and other applicable law, the Adviser, any of the Adviser’s affiliates or any affiliates of the Adviser’s affiliates may retain compensation in connection with effecting a Fund’s portfolio transactions, including transactions effected through others.  If any occasion should arise in which the Adviser give any advice to their clients concerning the shares of a Fund, the Adviser will act solely as investment counsel for such client and not in any way on behalf of the Fund.  

5.

PROXY VOTING

The Adviser will vote all proxies solicited by or with respect to the issuers of securities in which assets of the Funds may be invested from time to time.  Such proxies will be voted in a manner that the Adviser deems, in good faith, to be in the best interest of the Funds and in accordance with the Adviser’s proxy voting policy.  The Adviser agrees to provide a copy of the Adviser’s proxy voting policy, and any amendments thereto, to the Trust prior to the execution of this Agreement.

6.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Adviser has adopted a written code of ethics complying with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the Act and will provide the Trust with a copy of the code and evidence of its adoption.  Within 45 days of the last calendar quarter of each year while this Agreement is in effect, the Adviser will provide to the Board of Trustees of the Trust a written report that describes any issues arising under the code of ethics since the last report to the Board of Trustees, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the code and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations; and which certifies that the Adviser has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent access persons (as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1) from violating the code.

7.

SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE/USE OF NAME

The Adviser’s services to a Fund pursuant to this Agreement are not to be deemed to be exclusive, and it is understood that the Adviser may render investment advice, management and other services to others, including other registered investment companies, provided, however, that such other services and activities do not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere in a material manner, with the Adviser’s ability to meet all of its obligations with respect to rendering services to the Funds.

The Trust and the Adviser acknowledge that all rights to the name "Copeland" or any variation thereof belong to the Adviser, and that the Trust is being granted a limited license to use such words in its Fund name or in any class name.  In the event the Adviser cease to be the Adviser to the Fund, the Trust’s right to the use of the name "Copeland" shall automatically cease on the ninetieth (90^th) day following the termination of this Agreement.  The right to the name may also be withdrawn by the Adviser during the term of this Agreement upon ninety (90) days’ written notice by the Adviser to the Trust.  Nothing contained herein shall impair or diminish in any respect, the Adviser’s right to use the name "Copeland" in the name of, or in connection with, any other business enterprises with which the Adviser are or may become associated.  There is no charge to the Trust for the right to use this name.

Any person, even though also a director, officer, employee, shareholder, member or agent of the Adviser, who may be or become a trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or acting on any business of the Trust (other than services or business in connection with the Adviser duties hereunder), to be rendering such services to or acting solely for the Trust and not as a director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, or agent of the Adviser, or one under the Adviser’s control or direction, even though paid by the Adviser.
