(iv) The trustees shall divide the entire balance of the income of the properties hereby transferred in four parts, one part of which shall be kept deposited in an account in some bank approved by the said GH to meet such unforeseen or emergent expenses as may be necessary in the interest of and for the benefit of the trust. The trustees shall pay the remaining three parts to the said GH towards liquidation of the debt inclusive of interest until the entire debt is liquidated.

Provided always and it is hereby agreed and declared that in the event of the office of any of the trustee falling vacant the appointment of a new trustee or trustees shall only be made at a meeting called for the purpose to be presided over by the said GH and attended by the parties, and in case the trustees fail to carry out the object of the trust in the manner hereinunder provided, it shall always be lawful but not compulsory on the part of the said GH to institute a suit for recovery of the amount due to him and to have a Receiver appointed to take possession, control and management of the trust property.
