Company to Provide Stock The Company shall reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares, sufficient shares to provide for the conversion of convertible Securities from time to time as such Securities are presented for conversion, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the conversion of Securities by delivery of repurchased shares of Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Company. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of Securities hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or State law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1708 shall be deemed to affect in any way the obligations of the Company to convert Securities into Common Stock as provided in this Article Seventeen. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the Common Stock, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free of preemptive rights.
