Equal and Ratable Lien Clause Samples

The Equal and Ratable Lien clause ensures that the holders of a particular class of debt securities are granted security interests or liens on assets that are equal in priority and proportion to those granted to other creditors. In practice, this means that if the issuer provides collateral to secure other debts, the same collateral must also secure the debt covered by this clause, preventing any creditor from having a preferential claim. This clause is essential for protecting the interests of debt holders by ensuring they are not subordinated to other creditors in the event of default or liquidation, thereby maintaining fairness and reducing the risk of unequal treatment.
