Eighthly, That all the expenses and incidental charges of the trustees shall be deducted from the income of the trust property, as well as a reasonable allowance to the trustees for their own services.

Tenthly, That the trustees under this indenture, each for himself and not for each other, shall be responsible for the want of due diligence only in the execution of the said trusts, and for their wilful defaults, and in case of the omission by the party of the first part to nominate a successor to either of the parties of the second part, or to any person appointed instead of them, or either of them who may resign or decease, the surviving or continuing trustee shall have power and authority to execute all the trusts herein specified and declared, in as ample manner as both the said parties of the second part might jointly have done.
