Intercreditor Agreement
An Intercreditor Agreement is a legal contract between two or more creditors that outlines the rights, priorities, and obligations of each party in relation to a shared borrower. It defines how repayments, enforcement actions, and collateral are handled, especially in cases of default or insolvency. This agreement is important because it prevents disputes between creditors, ensures orderly debt recovery, and provides clarity on which lender gets paid first.

Intercreditor Agreement - A Contract to Clarify Lender Priorities
An Intercreditor Agreement is a legal contract between two or more lenders that outlines their rights, priorities, and obligations in relation to a shared borrower. This agreement is crucial because it prevents disputes among creditors, ensures an orderly process for debt recovery, and provides clarity on which lender gets paid first, especially in cases of default or insolvency.
Parties and Background
This section identifies all parties to the agreement: the Senior Lender, the Junior Lender, and the Borrower. It provides a background on the loans, such as a senior facility and a junior facility, and states that the purpose of the agreement is to set out the lenders' respective rights and obligations.
Priority of Claims
This is the most critical part of the agreement. It clearly establishes that the Senior Lender's claims have priority over the Junior Lender's. The Junior Lender agrees not to demand or accept repayment until the Senior Lender has been paid in full, unless the Senior Lender gives prior written consent.
Enforcement Standstill
The agreement can include a clause that prevents the Junior Lender from taking any enforcement action against the borrower without the Senior Lender's consent. This ensures that the Senior Lender has exclusive control over the enforcement process, which helps to avoid competing and disorderly actions.
Information Sharing
The agreement can include a clause that requires the borrower to provide both lenders with timely financial information. It also specifies that the lenders agree to share relevant information with each other on a confidential basis, ensuring transparency and cooperation.
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
This is a crucial section for any international agreement. It specifies which country's laws will govern the contract and which courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes. This provides a clear legal framework and a predictable path for conflict resolution.
