is an intercreditor and subordination agreement the same thing
Payment subordination allows the senior creditor the right to be paid first from all assets of the debtor or any other obligor of the debtor, regardless whether such assets constitute collateral security. The amount owed to the senior lender drives payment subordination terms, not the value of the pledged collateral. Provisions in the intercreditor agreement typically require all parties to pay-over to the senior creditor or its agent any proceeds obtained from shared collateral.
