A SENIORITY Clause Samples

The 'Seniority' clause establishes the order of priority among different classes of obligations, debts, or securities in a contractual or financial arrangement. In practice, this clause specifies which parties or instruments are to be paid first in the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, or distribution of assets, often distinguishing between senior and subordinated creditors. By clearly defining the hierarchy of claims, the clause helps manage risk and provides certainty to parties about their position in the event of financial distress or default.
