From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  REDDENDUM, contracts. A word used substantively, and is that clause in a 
  deed by which the grantor reserves something new to himself out of that 
  which he granted before, and thus usually follows the tenendum, and is 
  generally in these words "yielding and paying." 
       2. In every good reddendum or reservation, these things must concur; 
  namely,  1. It must be apt words. 2, It must be of some other thing issuing 
  or coming out of the thing granted, and not a part of the thing itself, nor 
  of something issuing out of another thing. 3. It must be of such thing on 
  which the grantor may resort to distrain 4. It must be made to one of the 
  grantors and not to a stranger to the deed. Vid 2 Bl. Com. 299; Co. Litt.
