Seventh Circuit: Indigo Old Corp., Inc. v. Thomas Guido

 Since the guarantor's obligation was part of an obligation subordinated to a second debt, the lender can't proceed against the guarantor until the second debt is retired and the subordinated obligation comes due.  Under state law, the fact that the debt was subordinated by a contemporaneous instrument means that the subordination didn't count as a modification of the guaranteed obligation that would trigger the guarantor's obligation.
