"Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent"
A collateral agent is a neutral third party that holds and manages the assets pledged to secure a loan on behalf of a group of lenders, acting like the keyholder to a shared safe. If the borrower falls behind, the collateral agent enforces the lenders’ rights and coordinates who gets what, which affects how quickly and how much lenders can recover. Investors care because the agent’s role shapes recovery prospects, enforcement speed and the clarity of lenders’ claims.
