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

THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING THIS THIRTEENTH 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
