subordination agreement

Definition

Formal document acknowledging that one party's claim or interest is inferior (junior) to that of the other party or parties. For example, a firm may agree to let a bank loan take precedence (seniority) over directors' or owners' loans to the firm. If such consent forms a part of a larger agreement, it is called a subordination clause.
