First Priority Interest Sample Clauses

A First Priority Interest clause establishes that a lender or secured party has the highest-ranking claim over specified collateral, ahead of any other creditors or claimants. In practice, this means that if the borrower defaults, the holder of the first priority interest is entitled to be paid from the proceeds of the collateral before any other parties. This clause is essential for protecting the lender’s position and reducing risk, as it ensures their claim will be satisfied first in the event of insolvency or liquidation.
