4. DEFAULT, TERMINATION, AND REMEDIES

1. Classification of Default: A Default shall be deemed to have occurred if the Tenant:
   • Fails to pay Rent Arrears within the timeframes stipulated in the Tenancy Agreement;
   • Breaches any restrictive or positive covenant outlined in the Tenancy Agreement; or
   • Fails to surrender Vacant Possession upon the expiration of the Notice Period.
