Loan Subordination Agreement

"I need a German law Loan Subordination Agreement for a manufacturing company with existing senior bank debt of €20M and new subordinated shareholder loans of €5M, with the senior debt maturing in March 2025."

Document background
A Loan Subordination Agreement is essential in complex financing structures where multiple creditors provide debt to the same borrower. Under German law, these agreements must carefully address the requirements of the Insolvency Code (InsO), particularly regarding the enforceability of subordination in insolvency proceedings. The document establishes the hierarchy of debt, payment restrictions, and turnover obligations, while ensuring compliance with §39(2) InsO. It is typically used in refinancing situations, acquisition financing, or restructuring scenarios where there are multiple layers of debt. The agreement includes detailed provisions on payment mechanics, enforcement rights, and insolvency scenarios, making it a crucial document for managing intercreditor relationships in German financing transactions.
