- [ ] Subordination continuing until Discharge of First Lien Obligations
- [ ] Exclusive enforcement control by first lien agent during standstill
- [ ] Turnover obligation for junior receipts
- [ ] Proceeds waterfall: first lien first, then second lien
- [ ] Prohibition on junior objections to first lien enforcement (with negotiated carve-outs)
- [ ] Bankruptcy subordination under 11 U.S.C. 510(a)

Template Snippets
Standstill clause:
"Standstill Period" means the period beginning on the date the First Lien Agent delivers written notice of a First Lien Event of Default and ending [__] days thereafter.
During the Standstill Period, the Second Lien Secured Parties shall not take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral or contest any Enforcement Action taken by the First Lien Secured Parties.
Turnover clause:
Any payment or distribution received by any Second Lien Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be held in trust and immediately turned over to the First Lien Agent for application in accordance with the Payment Waterfall.
Pitfalls and Checks
- Lien vs debt subordination: Use lien subordination language unless debt subordination is also intended; align waterfall and turnover accordingly.
- Discharge definition: Must include cash collateralization or backstop of contingent LC/hedging exposure.
- Permitted junior payments: If allowed, limit to scheduled interest and fees when no first lien default exists.
- Bankruptcy provisions: Confirm 11 U.S.C. 510(a) enforceability; address cash collateral, DIP financing, relief from stay, and plan voting. Verify post-petition interest allocation under 11 U.S.C. 552(b)(1) [VERIFY].
- UCC Article 9: Confirm perfection status; verify after-acquired property and proceeds coverage.
- Borrower covenants: If borrower is a party, include covenant not to direct payments contrary to waterfall.
- Post-standstill rights: Define narrowly whether junior creditors may file proofs of claim or seek adequate protection after standstill expiry.
- Consistency: Keep defined terms aligned across agreement; cross-reference credit documents precisely. Match notices, consent, and assignment provisions to deal structure.
