subordinated indebtedness, effectively subordinated in right of
payment to any of the Companys subsidiaries obligations
(including secured and unsecured obligations) and effectively

leaseback transactions and (3) merge, or consolidate or transfer,
sell or lease all or substantially all of the Companys assets.
