An example is a trust document that includes a subordinate clause. This requires it to state that once the primary lien becomes active, a secondary lien becomes automatically subordinate. For instance, if a trust pays education funding as a first priority, the first lien is tuition.
A Subordination Agreement focuses on creditor priorities and security claims, providing legal certainty to creditors when assessing repayment risk. If a credit event (or default) occurs, a subordination agreement provides a senior lender superior repayment rights than the subordinated lender.
Subordination agreements are used to legally establish the order in which debts are to be repaid in the event of a foreclosure or bankruptcy. In return for the agreement, the lender with the subordinated debt will be compensated in some manner for the additional risk.
Subordination is a way of changing the priority of claims against a debtor so that one creditor or group of creditors (the junior creditor(s)) agree that their debt will not be paid until debts owed to another creditor or group of creditors (the senior creditor(s)) have been paid.
Lenders can execute what are referred to as executory subordination agreements. Executory subordination agreements are essentially a promise to enter into a subordination agreement in the future if another loan enters the picture, like a construction loan.
