Delivery by Seller to the Company of a stock certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by the Company, together with duly endorsed stock powers, shall transfer to the Company good and indefeasible record and beneficial title to the Shares to be purchased by the Company, free and clear of any Encumbrances.
