and transferred to Epitihia. |
||
| 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 |
||
3
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).

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
