JUNIOR AVAILABLE Clause Samples
The "Junior Available" clause establishes the conditions under which junior debt or obligations become available for payment or enforcement, typically after senior obligations have been satisfied. In practice, this clause outlines the priority of payments, ensuring that senior creditors are paid in full before any funds are distributed to junior creditors. For example, in a loan agreement, junior lenders may only receive repayments once all senior debt has been settled. The core function of this clause is to clarify the order of payment priority, thereby managing risk and expectations among different classes of creditors.
