[8] Pari passu means “at the same rate” or (generally) “equal.” The other terminology, sometimes used to describe the equitable distribution of payments or revenue between secured creditors, is “proportional” or “proportionate.” The meaning of these terms may vary depending on their definition in the agreement and how they are used in the context. Other issues addressed in the priority and status quo agreement may include: an agreement on these conditions constitutes a total or profound subordination from one secured creditor to another. A subordination agreement can limit the extent of subordination, for example. B, at a limited amount of dollars, for a specified period or under other conditions, and contain some of the more complex provisions of an intercreator agreement, as explained below. But the typical subordination agreement is a unilateral subordination of a subordinated creditor in favour of a priority creditor. [6] There may be another arrangement for payments to the subordinated creditor, such as .B admission of certain “eligible payments” defined for him, as long as the debtor is not late with the priority creditor. [1] As in a discussion agreement below. Many subordination agreements with status quo provisions will allow the subordinate lender to obtain monthly payments until there is a default. Some subordination agreements do not allow you to pay. When the subordinated lender is subordinated to the priority lender and a loan is late, the primary lender will invoke the “status quo” rules to prohibit or even offload payments from the borrower to the subordinated lender until the primary lender is fully paid. The subordinate lender is therefore in a bad situation.

This was the most recent case of Grice Engineering, Inc. v. Innovations Engineering, Inc., 2010 Westlaw 3768107 (Wisc). App., District 4). The main provisions of such agreements are: another important provision found in subordination agreements is a status quo. An impasse is an agreement reached by the subordinate lender, without the prior approval of the primary lender or until the end of the status quo period, not to take corrective action against the borrower or the collateral assets of the subordinated loan. The status quo period usually begins when the subordinate lender informs the principal lender in writing of a delay with the subordinated obligation and its intention to act on remedial action and then takes a fixed period of at least 180 days until an indeterminate period until the primary lender is fully remunerated.
