Grace period

1. Generally, a time period permitted beyond the date specified for payment or performance within which payment or performance may be made without the occurence of an event of default.
2. For example, a three day grace period might be allowed to make a payment of interest on a loan. If payment is made during the grace period, the lender may not declare an event of default and accelerate the maturity of the loan.
