What is an indenture agreement?
What will be an ideal response?
The terms of a debt security are commonly contained in a contract between the corporation and the holder; this contract is known as an indenture agreement. The indenture generally contains the maturity date of the debt security, the required interest payment, the collateral, rights to conversion into common or preferred stock, call provisions, any restrictions on the corporation's right to incur other indebtedness, the rights of holders upon default, and such. It also establishes the rights and duties of the indenture trustee. Generally, a trustee is appointed to represent the interest of the debt security holders. Bank trust departments often serve in this capacity.
