 ::(i) a Failure by the {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}} to make a payment or delivery when due;

 *'''[[Grace Period]]''': Once the notice is effective, the {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}} has a window (the [[grace period]]) in which it can remedy the failure to pay or deliver.
 :(i) The standard [[grace period]]s are set out in Section {{{{{1}}}|5(a)(i)}}. Be careful here: under a {{2002ma}} the standard is '''''one''''' {{isdaprov|Local Business Day}}. Under the {{1992ma}} the standard is '''''three''''' {{isda92prov|Local Business Day}}s. ''But check the {{{{{1}}}|Schedule}}'' because in either case this is the sort of thing that counterparties adjust: {{2002ma}}s are often adjusted to conform to the {{1992ma}} standard of three {{{{{1}}}|LBD}}s, for example.
