5. Every applicant, who is admitted to subscribe as aforesaid, shall be bound to contribute to the fund a premium of 5% per annum on the amount fixed as his security, and such contribution must be made by equal quarterly payments on the usual quarter days.
(Provision may be made for contributions by the company, e.g., a sura equal to the yearly contributions of the subscribers until the fund amounts to a specified sum, and that when the fund amounts to that sum subscribers who have subscribed for 10 years shall not pay further subscriptions unless and until the fund is reduced to less than the specified amount. Sometimes it is provided that when the fund exceeds a specified sum, the surplus shall be carried to the superannuation fund).

7. The fund shall be treated as a security to the bank against all defalcations and misfeasances by the subscribers thereto for the time being, but as regards each subscriber, such security shall be limited to the amount in respect of which he has been a subscriber.

Wherever the bank certifies under its seal that any subscriber to the fund has been guilty of any defalcation or misfeasance, and the amount necessary to compensate the bank therefor, then and in any and every such case the bank may withdraw from the fund and appropriate a sum equal to the amount so certified, but not exceeding the amount of the security in respect of which such employee has been contributing.

The bank may at any time by deed alter all or any of the regulations and provisions herein contained, and may make new regulations and provisions to the exclusion of or in addition to all or any regulations and provisions herein contained, and any regulations and provisions so made by deed shall be deemed to be regulations and provisions of the same validity as if they had been originally contained in these presents and shall be subject

15. The personal liability of every subscriber to the fund to make good his defalcations and misfeasances shall remain and subsist in every respect as if the said guarantee fund had not been established and each subscriber shall enter into a bond for faithful service framed in accordance with the form approved by the bank.
