(6) when, by reason of the fact that trust indentures are commonly prepared by the obligor or underwriter in advance of the public offering of the securities to be issued thereunder, such investors are unable to participate in the preparation thereof, and, by reason of their lack of understanding of the situation, such ...
The indenture has the following information: The name of the issuer. All the terms of a bond issue such as the type of bond. Its features such as the principal value, coupon rate, dates when interest payments will be made, and maturity date. Issuer's obligations. Bondholders' rights. If the bonds are secured or not.
The terms of the Indenture are tailored to reflect the specific type of transaction and issuer. Like credit agreements,1 an Indenture contains lending and repayment terms. In contrast to credit agreements, however, the lender is not a party to an Indenture.

An indenture is a deed with more than one party. In the old days they were written out, two copies, on a single piece of parchment then roughly cut, so the parts could later be compared. A deed of trust has at least two parties, the settler and the trustee, so it could be called an indenture.
(9) The term ''indenture to be qualified'' means (A) the in- denture under which there has been or is to be issued a secu- rity in respect of which a particular registration statement has been filed, or (B) the indenture in respect of which a particular application has been filed.

The Indenture pledges certain revenues as security for repayment of the Bonds. The Trustee agrees to act on behalf of the holders of the Bonds and to represent their interests.
The Trust Indenture Act requires certain prospectus disclosure about the debt securities in registered offerings. Most offerings of debt securities that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 are also exempt from the Trust Indenture Act requirements.
