Priority Lien Agent Clause Samples

The Priority Lien Agent clause designates a specific party, typically a financial institution, to act as the representative for all lenders holding priority liens on a borrower's collateral. In practice, this agent manages the enforcement and administration of the priority liens, coordinates actions among the secured parties, and communicates with the borrower regarding the collateral. This arrangement streamlines decision-making and ensures that the interests of all priority lienholders are represented efficiently, reducing conflicts and administrative burdens in situations such as default or foreclosure.

(b) In the event the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement requires the delivery, or receipt, of any notice by the Priority Lien Agent, such delivery or receipt will be deemed satisfied in all respects when the Collateral Trustee makes such delivery or receives such notice; provided, that, if the Controlling Priority Debt Representative fails to provide the Collateral Trustee, as Priority Lien Agent, direction in writing in connection with any notice, then the Original Priority Lien Agent may deliver or receive such notice.
