Latest version.
  • The agreement when
      approved by the superintendent of banks shall be executed by the savings
      banks parties thereto and filed in his  office.  The  agreement  may  be
      executed  in  any  number  of  counterparts, all of which taken together
      shall constitute the original. The agreement shall name the trustee  and
      contain  suitable  provisions  for  the  removal  or  resignation of the
      trustee, or if the trustee named be a board of trustees, for the removal
      or resignation of any or all of them,  and  for  the  appointment  of  a
      successor  trustee  or  for  the  filling  of vacancies in such board of
      trustees, whether caused  by  death,  resignation,  disqualification  or
      removal;  it  shall also provide the amount of the initial contributions
      to the fund and the manner of making subsequent calls, and  may  contain
      such  limitations  thereon  as the superintendent shall approve, but all
      such initial contributions to the fund and payments pursuant to  further
      calls  shall  be  made  ratably by all the member banks in proportion to
      their several deposit liabilities, except  that  the  superintendent  of
      banks  may exempt from any such call in whole or in part any member bank
      or banks the condition of which makes  such  exemption  in  his  opinion
      desirable;  it may also provide for the liquidation of the fund pursuant
      to  rules  and  regulations  for  that   purpose   acceptable   to   the
      superintendent  of  banks,  provided  that  on  any such liquidation the
      liabilities  incurred  or  assumed  by  the  trustee  pursuant  to   the
      provisions  hereof  shall  first  be  paid  and  the balance, if any, be
      distributed  among  the  member  banks  pro  rata  according  to   their
      contributions; and the agreement may similarly provide for the change or
      amendment  thereof  with the approval of the superintendent of banks and
      with such approval may be amended in such  manner  as  may  be  provided
      therein;  and the agreement shall also define the powers of the trustee,
      which may be all or any one or more or the powers hereinafter set forth,
      together with any additional powers not  inconsistent  with  the  powers
      herein  enumerated  or  with  the purposes of the fund, set forth in the
      agreement.
