French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / Contract between a company and their bankers
French term or phrase: de troisième rang
The whole phrase is "Convention de nantissement de troisième rang de fonds de commerce".

I can find translations for "de premier rang" and "de second rang" but nothing for "de troisieme rang".

I know what "de troisième rang " means, I've had it explained to me but I just don't know the right terminology.

Here's the explanation I was given:

"Quand une personne ou une société est en liquidation judiciaire, ses créanciers obtiennent un nantissement de leurs créances (une sauvegarde de leur droit à récupérer leur argent) par exemple : le premier rang constitue généralement les salariés de l'entreprise, le second rang l'état (urssaf...) et le troisième rang, les autres (qui généralement n'ont rien car il ne reste plus de sous)."

Can anyone help me find the right words?
