Equity Bonus. During each calendar year of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to an annual bonus, payable in non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Options”) in accordance with the Company’s 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan and subject to the restrictions contained therein and/or in any Option Agreement between Executive and the Company, based upon acquisitions by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company of substantially all the assets of existing businesses or of controlling interests in existing business entities (collectively, the “Major Transactions”). The Options will be calculated as of January 15th of each year of this Agreement based upon the Major Transactions which took place in the immediately preceding calendar year, as follows: the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to Options for such year shall be calculated based on the dollar value obtained by multiplying the sum of the purchase prices and/or proceeds of all Major Transactions during the immediately preceding year by .02, and such total shall then be divided by the average closing price of the Common Stock in the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded, for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar year.
