Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause the Option to violate Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”) or otherwise subject (in the determination of the Committee) any Grantee to taxation under Section 409A of the Code; and provided further that the number of Shares subject to the Option shall always be a whole number.
