Subordination Agreement Long Form

This long-form subordination agreement is used when one creditor (the Subordinating Creditor) agrees to subordinate its lien or claim on a borrower's assets to another creditor (the Senior Creditor). This ensures that in the event of default or bankruptcy, the Senior Creditor will be paid before the Subordinating Creditor.
