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 Abuelo 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 Abuelo 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). |
