The additional shares, when so authorized, shall be reserved by the Corporation for the purpose of effecting such conversions and shall be free of preemptive rights.
1.6.6. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued in connection with the conversion provisions set forth herein will, upon issuance by the Corporation, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens or charges with respect thereto created or imposed by the Corporation.
