Heading: Amount of Contract Damages

Text: 30 Turning to the issue of how much Reilly was entitled to recover under the terms of the contract, we find it unclear how the jury arrived at $2.054 million as contract damages. That amount, when added to the $1.4 million NatWest actually paid Reilly, fixes his total compensation for 1994 and 1995 at $3.454 million, some $484,000 more than the $2.97 million provided for by the unambiguous terms of the contract. While the jury's finding in this regard may have been erroneous, we will not tarry over this issue. As is evident from NatWest's briefs, and as counsel conceded at oral argument, NatWest does not challenge the amount of contract damages awarded. Accordingly, any cavil that NatWest may now have with respect to the jury's award of contract damages has been waived. See Norton v. Sam's Club, 145 F.3d 114, 117 (2d Cir. 1998).
