Compensation of Trustee Each of the Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as co-trustee (the "co-trustee"), shall be entitled to receive from the Depositor as compensation for its services hereunder, trustee's fees pursuant to a separate agreement among the Trustee, the co-trustee, and the Depositor, and shall be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it (including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of its counsel and other persons not regularly in its employ). The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trustee and the co-trustee, and its successors, assigns, agents and servants against any and all loss, liability or reasonable expense (including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties thereunder. The Trustee and the co-trustee shall notify the Depositor promptly of any claim for which they may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the co-trustee to so notify the Depositor shall not relieve the Depositor of its obligations hereunder. The Depositor need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or the co-trustee through the Trustee's or the co-trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The indemnities contained in this Section 13 shall survive the resignation or termination of the Trustee or the co-trustee, or the termination of this Agreement. Failure by the Depositor to pay, reimburse or indemnify the Trustee or the co-trustee shall not entitle the Trustee or the co-trustee to any payment, reimbursement or indemnification from the Trust, nor shall such failure release either the Trustee or the co-trustee from the duties it is required to perform under this Series Supplement. Any unpaid, unreimbursed or unindemnified amounts shall not be borne by the Trust and shall not constitute a claim against the Trust, but shall be borne by each of the Trustee and the co-trustee in its individual capacity, and the Trustee and the co-trustee shall have no recourse against the Trust with respect thereto.
Compensation of Trustees The Trustees as such shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust, and they may fix the amount of such compensation from time to time. Nothing herein shall in any way prevent the employment of any Trustee to provide advisory, management, legal, accounting, investment banking or other services to the Trust and to be specially compensated for such services by the Trust.
Administration of Trust The Trustee shall administer the trust of the Indenture and shall perform a substantial part of its obligations relating to each series of Debt Securities and this Indenture at its corporate trust office in the City of New York.
Payment of Trust Expenses and Compensation of Trustees The Trustees are authorized to pay or to cause to be paid out of the principal or income of the Trust, or partly out of principal and partly out of income, and to charge or allocate the same to, between or among such one or more of the Series and Classes that may be established and designated pursuant to Article IV, as the Trustees deem fair, all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities incurred or arising in connection with the Trust, or in connection with the management thereof, including, but not limited to, the Trustees' compensation and such expenses and charges for the services of the Trust's officers, employees, investment adviser, administrator, distributor, principal underwriter, auditor, counsel, depository, custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, accounting agent, Shareholder servicing agent, and such other agents, consultants, and independent contractors and such other expenses and charges as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, the Trustees shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust for their services as Trustees and may fix the amount of such compensation.
Recognition of Trustee (a) From and after the date hereof, both MSMCI and the Seller shall note the transfer of the Specified Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, in their respective books and records and shall recognize the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, as of the date hereof, as the owner of the Specified Mortgage Loans. It is the intention of the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee and MSMCI that this Assignment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Depositor, the Trustee and MSMCI and their respective successors and assigns.
Compensation of the Trustee The Trustee shall be entitled to (i) receive, and is authorized to pay to itself the amount of income or gain earned from the investment of funds in the Certificate Account and (ii) reimbursement of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employment), except for any expenses, disbursements and advances that either (i) arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or (ii) do not constitute “unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Custodians shall be compensated as separately agreed with the Depositor (or its affiliates).
Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
Election of Trustees The members of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company are its policyholders of insurance policies and deferred annuity contracts. The members exercise control through a Board of Trustees. Elections to the Board are held each year at the annual meeting of members. Members are entitled to vote in person or by proxy. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT VARIABLE ANNUITY-ACCOUNT B AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT DIVISIONS AND VARIABLE PAYMENTS PROVIDED BY THIS CONTRACT ARE NOT GUARANTEED AS TO FIXED DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT ARE VARIABLE AND MAY INCREASE OR DECREASE TO REFLECT THE INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT.
Term of Office of Trustees; Resignation and Removal (a) Each Trustee shall hold office during the existence of this Trust, and until its termination as herein provided unless such Trustee resigns or is removed as provided herein. Any Trustee may resign by notice to the Chairman, if any, the Vice Chairman, if any, the President or the Secretary and such resignation shall be effective upon such notice, or at a later date specified by such Trustee.
Selection and Nomination of Trustees While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of persons to be Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund ("Disinterested Trustees") shall be committed to the discretion of the incumbent Disinterested Trustees. Nothing herein shall prevent the incumbent Disinterested Trustees from soliciting the views or the involvement of others in such selection or nomination as long as the final decision on any such selection and nomination is approved by a majority of the incumbent Disinterested Trustees.
