12.1 The Landlord and the Tenant agree that time is of the essence. In addition to any other circumstances where the Tenant is in default by operation of law, the mere fact that the Tenant shall not have fulfilled any obligation incumbent upon it under the terms hereof within the delay provided shall constitute the Tenant in default in accordance with the provisions of Articles 1594 and following of the Civil Code of Quebec or of any similar legislation.
