  h)
Carry Over. Any Wescorp Shares outlined in this paragraph 3.2 not earned in a particular calendar year, because the sales did not achieve the upper sales target-, shall be carried over and added to the Wescorp Shares to be issued to Epitihia in the next calendar year. For example, if, under paragraph 3.2(a), only the 240,000 Wescorp Shares are issued versus the potential of 300,000 Wescorp shares, then the difference of 60,000 is added to the 500,000 potential shares available to Epitihia in paragraph 3.2(c). So the number 500,000 in subparagraphs 3.2(c)(ii) and 3.2(c)(iii) would change to


560,000. Similarly, any potential Wescorp shares not issued in paragraph 3.2(c) would carry forward and be added to the 500,000 shares in paragraph 3.2(e).

3.3

If any of the Wescorp Shares to be delivered to Epitihia under the terms and conditions of this Agreement have not been delivered for a period of 182 days after such delivery is due, Epitihia may at its option terminate this Agreement, without notice or prior opportunity to cure.
 
3.5
No Damages. If Epitihia terminates this Agreement under paragraph 3.4 above, the Parties agree that such termination will not give rise to any liability, damages, or other compensation to Epitihia.
 
3.6
Security. Wescorp agrees to pledge to Epitihia the Vajar Shares as security to guarantee Wescorp’s performance in this Agreement. Wescorp furthers agrees to sign any documentation necessary under Barbados law to implement and document this security.
