(iii) The Company shall at all times while this Note remains outstanding to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of its Common Stock as would from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion in full the Notes assuming any termination of the Merger Agreement and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion in full of the Notes, the Company will commence such corporate actions as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Stock to such number as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
