Subordination clause is a contractual clause in which one party agrees to rank their claims or interests below those of another party in specific situations, such as bankruptcy or asset distribution. It ensures the senior party’s claims are prioritized and satisfied before payments to the subordinating party. Common in financing, real estate, and corporate debt agreements, this clause establishes a hierarchy of creditor priorities.
