Indenture

[1] Exchequer records of Henry V's French campaign of 1415, which culminated in the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415, including the indentures of all the captains of the army agreeing to provide specified numbers of men and at what cost, may still be read.

An example of such a use can be found in the National Archives, where an indenture, from about 1401, recording the transfer of the manor of Pinley, Warwickshire, is held.

[4] In the early history of the United States, many European immigrants served a period of indentured labour in order to pay the cost of their transportation.

Bond indenture (also trust indenture or deed of trust) is a legal document issued to lenders and describes key terms such as the interest rate, maturity date, convertibility, pledge, promises, representations, covenants, and other terms of the bond offering.

When the offering memorandum is prepared in advance of marketing a bond, the indenture will typically be summarised in the "description of notes" section.
