Term loan, means loan advanced for commercial loans, State Bank of Patiala v. Harbans Singh, (1994) 3 SCC 495.The expression 'term loan' is well understood in banking parlance.

Copyhold
Copyhold. Tenure in copyhold has been abolished under the (English) L.P. Acts, 1922 and 1925, and the Amending Acts of 1924 and 1926, but the greater part of the former title on this subject has been retained verbatim in view of the importance of the subject in examining titles. In the previous edition of this work, copyhold was described as a base tenure founded upon immemorial custom and usage; its origin is undiscoverable, but it is said to be the ancient villeinage modified and changed by the commutation of base services into specified rents, either in money or money's worth.A copyhold estate is a parcel of the demesnes of a manor held at the lord's will, and according to the custom of such manor. The tenant may have the same quantities of interest in this tenure as he may enjoy in freeholds, as an estate in fee-simple or (by particular custom) fee-tail, or for life, and he may have only a chattel interest of an estate for years in it. By the custom of some manors, the estate devol...
bond
bond 1 a : a usually formal written agreement by which a person undertakes to perform a certain act (as appear in court or fulfill the obligations of a contract) or abstain from performing an act (as committing a crime) with the condition that failure to perform or abstain will obligate the person or often a surety to pay a sum of money or will result in the forfeiture of money put up by the person or surety ;also : the money put up NOTE: The purpose of a bond is to provide an incentive for the fulfillment of an obligation. It also provides reassurance that the obligation will be fulfilled and that compensation is available if it is not fulfilled. In most cases a surety is involved, and the bond makes the surety responsible for the consequences of the obligated person's behavior. Some bonds, such as fidelity bonds, function as insurance agreements, in which the surety promises to pay for financial loss caused by the bad behavior of an obligated person or by some contingency over w...

Renewal of lease
Renewal of lease, a re-grant of an expiring lease for a further term. Where a lease contains a covenant by the lessor for renewal, this convenant is commonly subject to the condition that the covenants in the lease shall have been performed by the lessee, and this condition is strongly enforced by the Court, Finch v. Underwood, (1876) 2 Ch D 310.Leases may be surrendered in order to be renewed, without a surrender of under-leases, by virtue of the (English) Landlord and Tenant Act, 1730 (4 Geo. 2, c. 28), s. 6, before which Act a surrender of each under-lease was necessary.As to covenants for perpetual renewal, see Wynn v. Conway Corporation, (1914) 2 Ch 705, and cases there referred to.By the (English) Law of Property Act, 1922, s. 145, and 15th Sch., perpetually renewable leases have, from the 1st January, 1926, been converted into terms of 2,000 years from the date of the commen-cement of the existing term. The conversion is without prejudice to the covenants and conditions of the l...
