At this point you have a {{{{{1}}}|Potential Event of Default}}, but not an ''actual'' one.  


Once your Section {{{{{1}}}|5(a)(i)}} notice of {{{{{1}}}|Failure to Pay or Deliver}} is effective, the {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}} has a “[[grace period]]” in which it sort itself out and make the payment or delivey and head off an {{isdaprov|Event of Default}}.  
Once your Section {{{{{1}}}|5(a)(i)}} notice of {{{{{1}}}|Failure to Pay or Deliver}} is effective, the {{{{{1}}}|Defaulting Party}} has a “[[grace period]]” in which it may sort itself out and make the payment or delivery in question, thereby heading off a full-blown {{isdaprov|Event of Default}}.  


The standard [[grace period]]s are set out in Section {{{{{1}}}|5(a)(i)}}. Be careful: 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.

So: once you have a clear, notified {{{{{1}}}|Failure to Pay or Deliver}}, you have to wait ''at least'' one and possibly three or more {{{{{1}}}|Local Business Day}}s before doing anything about it. Therefore you are on tenterhooks until the [[close of business]] '''T+2''' {{{{{1}}}|LBD}}s (standard {{2002ma}}), or '''T+4''' {{isda92prov|LBD}}s (standard {{1992ma}}).

Let us imagine for a moment you have indeed waited the necessary time.
