dispose of coal, ore, gas, oil and other minerals, and harvest standing timber,
and (iii) receive and use the rents, issues, profits, revenues and other income,

THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING THIS ELEVENTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, is intended
to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing title to the Trust Estate
and is made under the provisions of the existing laws of the State of Georgia
