5

The foregoing notwithstanding, the number of shares of capital stock of a Disqualified Holder to be redeemed pursuant to this Article Fifth will be the minimum number of shares as required to cause such Disqualified Person to be in compliance with, or not subject to, regulatory requirements of the Gaming Authorities.
