This section protects the priority of an unsecured claim held by certain financial-market participants. Exercising rights under this title does not change that claim’s priority.
Despite any other provision of this title, when a forward contract* merchant, commodity broker*, stockbroker, financial institution*, financial participant*, securities clearing agency, swap participant*, repo participant, or master-netting-agreement participant exercises rights under this title, that exercise does not change the priority of any unsecured claim* the participant may have afterward. This section does not define those quoted terms.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the exercise of rights by a forward contract* merchant, commodity broker*, stockbroker, financial institution*, financial participant*, securities clearing agency, swap participant*, repo participant, or master netting agreement participant under this title shall not affect the priority of any unsecured claim* it may have after the exercise of such rights.
