Whether or not the previous lender makes any compromise on the true status quo agreement depends, among other things, on the nature of the subordinated loan. In general, it is all the less likely that the previous lender will accept a compromise as the subordinated loan moves closer to “subordinated equity” (. B for example, a loan from a borrowing company). With regard to payments, creditors are free to agree among themselves who will be paid and when. With respect to security interests, the Personal Property Security Act[2] (the “Law”) contains complex priority rules that prioritize competing security interests and the same security. However, creditors can enter into agreements to confirm or change the priority that their security interests would have under the law. As a general rule, these agreements can and may also cover priority payments. Agreements come under different names, such as subordination agreements, priority agreements or inter-1cond agreements. Of course, there are no fixed rules, which is what any type of agreement does, but there are typical terms in each agreement that differ from those of the other agreements. This article discusses the different types of agreements that deal with priority issues, the typical concepts they have and the differences between them.
In particular, the first instance found that the subordination agreement was not applicable because of the status quo clause and was therefore not applicable. During the appeal process, the Bank argued, among many other issues, that the subordination agreement was not unacceptable. In this case, the non-status quo clause contained in the subordination agreement provided that “innovations may not exercise any right or recourse or take enforcement actions that are available in the event of delay, default or otherwise in accordance with subordinated credit documents, nor take measures to recover subordinated debts until all priority debts are fully paid in cash and priority commitment is terminated.” It was not disputed that Grice Engineering remained liable to the bank under the terms of the loan agreement between them and the priority debts under the subordination agreement executed by Innovations and that the bank was not fully paid. High-level lenders, which are forced to address problem loans with borrowers and other subordinated creditors, should examine and understand the extent of possible freeze or status quo periods in their subordination agreements at an early stage of training. If a priority lender takes action without reviewing an existing subordination or subordination agreement, the lender may either violate the agreement and potentially create additional problems with the borrower and/or subordinate lender, or ignore the conditions required in the document to protect and preserve the rights and priority of the priority lender.
