German term

vorrangige Sicherung

German to English Law/Patents Finance (general)
This appears in a "Bankbürgschaft" from a German company:

"Die Gesellschaft darf all von dem Kunden geleisteten Zahlungen und den Erlös aus der Verwertung von Sicherheiten, soweit diese nicht der Sicherung dieser Bürgschaft oder der ***vorrangigen Sicherung*** der verbürgten Forderung dienen, zunächst auf ihre durch diese Bürgschaft nicht geischerten Ansprüche anrechnen."
Proposed translations (English)
5 +3 senior security

note re Sicherung I think that, in this case, "Sicherung" refers to the act of providing collateral.
