INTRODUCTION
 
This Information Statement is being mailed on or about [________] , 2017 to the stockholders of record of MEDITE Cancer Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) at the close of business on August 1, 2017 (the “Record Date”). This Information Statement is being sent to you for information purposes only. No action is required or requested on your part.
 
This Information Statement is being provided:
 
(i) to inform you that on August 1, 2017, holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock voted by written consent to amend the Company’s 2017 Employee/Consultant Common Stock Compensation Plan (the “Amended Plan”),
 
(ii) to file a  Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the Company’s authorized common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from 50,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares, (the “Amendment”) and keep the authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), unchanged, and
 
(iii) to serve as notice of the foregoing actions in accordance with Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
The amendment of the 2017 Employee/Consultant Common Stock Compensation Plan and the Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the “Actions.”
 
Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law states that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and those consents are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.
 
             
The Actions were approved on August 1, 2017, upon the execution of a written consent by the holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Because the Actions have been approved by the holders of the requisite number of outstanding shares that are entitled to cast votes, no other stockholder approval of the Actions are necessary. This Information Statement will also serve as notice of the Actions taken without a meeting as required by Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. No further notice of the Actions described herein will be given to you.
 
We are currently authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Series E Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share is convertible on the Record Date, calculated to the nearest whole share. As of the Record Date, the Series E Stock outstanding was convertible into approximately 52,311 shares of Common Stock. The affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock is necessary to approve the Actions. The requisite stockholder approval of the Actions was obtained on August 1, 2017.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The expenses of preparing and mailing this Information Statement and all documents that now accompany or may hereafter supplement it will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers and other persons holding stock in their names or the names of nominees for their expenses incurred in forwarding this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of such shares.
 
The Actions will become effective upon the passing of 20 calendar days from the date a definitive copy of this Information Statement is mailed to our stockholders.

THE ACTIONS
 
AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S
2017 EMPLOYEE/CONSULTANT COMMON STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
 
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2017 Employee/Consultant Common Stock Compensation Plan was adopted pursuant to the written consent of holders of a majority of The Company’s common stock obtained as on August 1, 2017. 
 
The full text of the Amended and restated 2017 Employee/Consultant Common Stock Compensation Plan is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A.
 
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 50,000,000 SHARES TO 100,000,000 SHARES
 
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. On August 1, 2017, a majority of the shareholders of the Company approved the Certificate of Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B , to increase the amount of authorized Common Stock of the Company from 50,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
The Board of Directors will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The increase in our authorized Common Stock will become effective on the date of filing.
 
Reason for Decrease in Authorized Shares
 
The general purpose and effect of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in authorizing 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock is to facilitate various financing agreements in the future to enable the Company to continue its current business operations.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Reasons for and Effect of the Amendment
 
The Board of Directors believes that the Company’s stockholders may benefit from the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue because it shall allow us to accommodate additional capital investment into the Company.
 
This increase in our authorized common shares will have no material effect on the rights of existing stockholders, since it will not change the percentage of ownership of the Company of any stockholder. Moreover, the adoption of the Amendment will not of itself without further action of our Board of Directors cause or result in any changes in our current capital accounts or outstanding Common Stock.
  
As a result of the increase in authorized common stock, there will be an additional 50,000,000 common shares available for issuance. The Board of Directors will be authorized to issue the additional common shares without having to obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The issuance of the additional shares could also result in the dilution of the value of shares now outstanding, if the terms on which the shares were issued were less favorable than the contemporaneous market value of the Company’s common stock.
 
The increase in the number of common shares available for issuance is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless, the power of the Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of shares of common stock without shareholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the private placement of stock into “friendly” hands, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control of the Company. This would have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.
 
The Board of Directors is not aware of any such actual or contemplated takeover attempt.  Currently, we have no definitive plans or arrangements to issue any such shares, although the Company evaluates from time to time potential transactions that may result in the issuance of shares. Any such use or issuance of our shares would be regardless of whether the Amendment is effectuated.
 
HOUSEHOLDING
 
Under SEC rules, only one annual report, information statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, need be sent to any household at which two or more of our stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family and contrary instructions have not been received from an affected stockholder. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses for us. Brokers with accountholders who are our stockholders may be householding these materials. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, now or at any time in the future, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would like to receive a separate annual report, information statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or if you currently receive multiple copies of these documents at your address and would prefer that the communications be householded, you should contact us at 4303 SW 34 th St., Orlando FL 32811 or at (407) 996-9631.
 
REQUESTS FOR CERTAIN DOCUMENTS
 
We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information on the public reference room. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy and information statements and other information that issuers (including us) file electronically with the SEC. Our electronic SEC filings are available to the public at the SEC’s internet site, www.sec.gov.
 
We make available free of charge financial information, news releases, SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC, on our website at www.globalstar.com.

ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE
 
This Amended and Restated 2017 Employees/Consultants Stock Company Plan of Mediate Cancer Diagnostics, Inc.

The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of Shares and for the grant of Options to purchase Shares.

All Options granted hereunder shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with these intentions.
 
The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act and shall be construed accordingly.   All transactions involving any Employee subject to section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Rule 16b-3, regardless of whether such conditions are expressly set forth in this Plan.

(ix)   To amend any outstanding Stock Purchase Agreement or Stock Option Agreement, subject to applicable legal restrictions and, to the extent such amendments are material and adverse to the Offeree’s or Optionee’s interest, obtain the consent of the Offeree or Optionee who entered into such agreement;

STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
 
(A)   B ASIC LIMITATION . Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

The number of Shares which are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
 
(B)   ISO LIMI T ATION . The maximum number of Shares available with respect to all Options granted under this Plan that may be ISOs is 5,000,000 (3,000,000 with respect to any grants of ISOs made prior to the Restatement Effective Date).

The foregoing limitation is intended to include the grant of all awards under the Plan including, but not limited to, awards representing “qualified performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code, and shall be applied based upon the assumption that the maximum number of Shares shall be earned under any performance-based award.

SECT I ON 6.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.
 
(A)   AGR E EMENT . Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Offeree and the Company (a “STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT”). Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in such Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
 
(B)   D U RATION OF OFFERS AND NONTRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS . Any right to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Offeree within 30 days after the grant of such right was communicated to the Offeree by the Committee. Such right shall not be transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was granted.
 
(C)   PUR C HASE PRICE . The purchase price of Shares to be offered for sale under the Plan shall not be less than 90 percent of the Fair Market Value of such Shares. Subject to the preceding sentence, the purchase price shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The purchase price shall be payable in a form of payment described in Section 8.
 
(D)   WITH H OLDING TAXES . As a condition to the award or sale of Shares, the Offeree shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with such Shares. The Committee may permit the Offeree to satisfy all or part of his or her tax obligations related to such Shares by having the Company withhold a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering any Shares that previously were acquired by him or her. The Shares withheld or surrendered shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld. The payment of taxes by surrendering Shares to the Company, if permitted by the Committee, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
(E)   RESTRICTI O NS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES . Any Shares awarded or sold under the Plan shall be subject to such forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all shareholders of Shares.
 
SECTION 7.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
 
(A)   STO C K OPTION AGREEMENT . Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
 
(B)   NUM B ER OF SHARES . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 9. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Non-statutory Option and, unless the grant of an Option is designated at the time of grant as an ISO, such Option shall be a Non-statutory Option.
 
The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined with respect to each ISO at the time such ISO is granted) of the Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan adopted by the Company or its Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000. If such aggregate Fair Market Value shall exceed $100,000, such number of ISOs as shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Non-statutory Option.
 
 
 
-5-
 
 
 
(C)   EXERCIS E PRICE . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares if the following paragraph applies).. The Exercise Price of a Non-statutory Option shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Subject to the preceding two sentences, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 8.
 
No Employee may receive an ISO under this Plan if such Employee, at the time the Option is granted, owns (after application of the rules contained in section 424(d) of the Code) equity securities representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Exercise Price for such ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of grant and (ii) such ISO is not exercisable on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
 
(D)   WITH H OLDING TAXES . As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option. The Committee may permit the Optionee to satisfy all or part of his or her tax obligations related to the Option by having the Company withhold a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering any Shares that previously were acquired by him or her. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld. The payment of taxes by surrendering Shares to the Company, if permitted by the Committee, shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
(E)   EXERCI S ABILITY AND TERM . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any portion of the Shares subject to the Option is to become exercisable. The exercisability of any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, Total and Permanent Disability or retirement or other events. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant (5 years if the second paragraph of Section 7(C) applies). The Committee may extend the term of an Option, in its discretion, but not beyond the date immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the original date of grant. If a definite term is not specified by the Committee at the time of grant, then the term is deemed to be 10 years. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to expire.
 
(F)   NO N TRANSFERABILITY . During an Optionee’s lifetime, such Optionee’s Option(s) shall be exercisable only by him or her (or his or her guardian or legal representative to the extent permitted by applicable law) and shall not be transferable, unless permitted by the Stock Option Agreement in a manner consistent with the immediately following paragraph. In the event of an Optionee’s death, such Optionee’s Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will, by a beneficiary designation executed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company, or by the laws of descent and distribution.
 
The Committee, in its discretion, may allow at or after the time of grant the transferability of Options that are exercisable, provided that the permitted transfer (i) is made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or other applicable domestic relations order to the extent permitted by law; (ii) if the Option is an ISO, is consistent with section 422 of the Code; (iii) is made to the Company, an affiliate or a person acting as the agent of the foregoing or is otherwise determined by the Committee to be in the interests of the Company or an affiliate thereof; or (iv) is made by the Optionee for no consideration to Immediate Family Members or to a bona fide trust, partnership or other entity controlled by and for the benefit of one or more Immediate Family Members. For this purpose, the term “Immediate Family Members“ mean the Optionee’s spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, siblings (including half brothers and sisters), in-laws and other individuals who have a relationship to the Optionee arising because of a legal adoption. No transfer may be made to the extent that transferability would cause Form S-8 or any successor form thereto not to be available to register Shares related to an award under this Plan, and no Option granted under the Plan may be transferred for value. The Committee in its discretion may impose additional terms and conditions upon transferability.

(G)   TERMINATION O F SERVICE (EXCEPT BY DEATH) . If an Optionee’s service terminates for any reason other than the Optionee’s death, then such Optionee’s Option(s) shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions:
 
(i)   The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (E) above;
 
(ii)   The date 90 days after the termination of the Optionee’s service for any reason other than Total and Permanent Disability; or
 
(iii)   The date six months after the termination of the Optionee’s service by reason of Total and Permanent Disability.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option granted to an Outside Director shall expire on the date determined pursuant to Subsection (E) above or as such earlier date as may be set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. The Optionee may exercise all or part of his or her Option(s) at any time before the expiration of such Option(s) under the preceding provisions of this Subsection (G), but only to the extent that such Option(s) had become exercisable before the Optionee’s service terminated or became exercisable as a result of such termination of service. The balance of such Option(s) shall expire when the Optionee’s service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of the Optionee’s service but before the expiration of the Optionee’s Option(s), all or part of such Option(s) may be exercised (prior to expiration) by his or her designated beneficiary (if applicable), by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Option(s) had become exercisable before the Optionee’s service terminated or became exercisable as a result of such termination of service.
 
(H)   LEA V ES OF ABSENCE . For purposes of Subsection (G) above, service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (as determined by the Committee). The foregoing notwithstanding, in the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, service shall not be deemed to continue beyond the first 90 days of such leave, unless the Optionee’s reemployment rights are guaranteed by an applicable statute or by contract.
 
(I)   DEA T H OF OPTIONEE . If an Optionee dies while he or she is in service, then such Optionee’s Option(s) shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:
 
(i)   The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (E) above; or
 
(ii)   The date six months after the Optionee’s death.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option granted to an Outside Director shall expire on the date determined pursuant to Subsection (E) above or as such earlier date as may be set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. All or part of the Optionee’s Option(s) may be exercised at any time before the expiration of such Option(s) under the preceding provisions of this Subsection (I) by his or her designated beneficiary (if applicable), by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Option(s) had become exercisable before the Optionee’s death or became exercisable as a result of the Optionee’s death. The balance of such Option(s) shall expire when the Optionee dies.
 
(J)   NO RI G HTS AS A STOCKHOLDER . An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Option until the date of the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 9.

(K)   MOD I FICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS . Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options,   provided that no such modification, extension or renewal may (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 9 hereof, reduce the Exercise Price to less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of grant either by lowering the Exercise Price, by canceling the outstanding Option in exchange for cash, other awards or a replacement Option with a lower Exercise Price, or by the Company repurchasing an Option with an Exercise Price that is in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of such repurchase, (ii) violate the terms and provisions of section 162(m) of the Code, or (iii) cause the Option to no longer meet the requirements for exclusion from coverage under section 409A of the Code. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair such Optionee’s rights or increase his or her obligations under such Option.
 
(L)   RESTRI C TIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES . Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine.

However, the Committee (at its sole discretion) may specify in the Stock Purchase Agreement that payment may be made in one or more of the forms described in Subsections (F), (G) and (H) below.
 
(ii)   In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall be made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

(G) or (H) below.
 
(iii)   In the case of a Non-statutory Option granted under the Plan, the Committee (at its sole discretion) may accept payment pursuant to one or more of the forms described in Subsections (B), (C), (D), (E), (G) or (H) below.

(E)   CAS H LESS EXERCISE . To the extent that this Subsection (E) is applicable, payment made be made by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Optionee shall be entitled to receive a stock certificate for the number of Shares subject to the Option (or portion thereof) exercised equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [((i) - (ii)) x (iii)] by (i), where:
 
(i)   is equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares that would be issued upon exercise of the Option by means of an exercise by the payment of cash, determined as of the date the Option is exercised;
 
(ii)   is equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares that would be issued upon exercise of the Option by means of an exercise by the payment of cash, as may be adjusted by Section 9; and
 
(iii)   is the number of Shares that would be issued upon exercise of the Option by means of an exercise by the payment of cash, rather than a cashless exercise pursuant to this Subsection (E).
 
The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a cashless exercise under this Subsection
 
(F)   SER V ICES RENDERED . To the extent that this Subsection (F) is applicable, Shares may be offered for sale under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the offer. If Shares are offered for sale without the payment of a purchase price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(C).
 
(G)   PRO M ISSORY NOTE . To the extent that this Subsection (G) is applicable, a portion of the purchase price or Exercise Price, as the case may be, of Shares issued under the Plan may be payable by a full recourse promissory note, provided that (i) the par value of such Shares must be paid in lawful money of the United States of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, (ii) the Shares are security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon, and (iii) the interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall be no less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Committee (at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such promissory note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase price or Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan to a member of the Board of Directors or an executive officer (or equivalent thereof) of the Company shall not be payable with a promissory note.

Any cancellation shall not occur until after such acceleration is effective and Optionees have been notified of such acceleration. In the case of Options that have been outstanding for less than 12 months, a cancellation need not be preceded by acceleration.
 
(C)   RESERVATION O F RIGHTS . Except as provided in this Section 9, an Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option.

SECTION 10.
SECURI T IES LAWS.
 
Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed.
 
SECTION 11.
NO RETEN T ION RIGHTS.
 
Neither the Plan nor any Option shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the service of any employee, consultant or director, at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any). No person shall have the right to be selected to receive an award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future award. The Committee’s determination under the Plan (including, without limitation, determination of the Employees who shall be granted awards, the form, amount and timing of such awards, the terms and conditions of awards) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among eligible Employees who receive or are eligible to receive awards under the Plan, whether or not such eligible Employees are similarly situated.
