Escrow of Stock Certificates Pending Payment of Deferred Payment. At the Closing, the Stockholders shall deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock transferred by the Stockholders to Buyer together with appropriate undated stock powers duly executed in blank by Buyer free and clear of all Encumbrances (the “Stock Certificates”) to be held in escrow by Fox Rothschild LLP (the “Escrow Agent”). The Escrow Agent shall hold the Stock Certificates in safe keeping as agent on behalf of the parties, free from any lien or claim, and it shall deliver the Stock Certificates to the Buyer free of any Encumbrance, on the terms set forth in this Section 2.5. On December 31, 2014 (the “First Deferred Payment Date”), Buyer shall pay to each Stockholder the amount set forth on Schedule I, for distribution to such Stockholder, which amount shall total One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Deferred Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts that have been designated by the Stockholder Representative to Buyer at least three (3) calendar days prior to the First Deferred Payment Date. On March 31, 2015 (the “Second Deferred Payment Date”), Buyer shall pay to each Stockholder the amount set forth on Schedule I for distribution to such Stockholder, which amount shall total the remaining Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) of the Deferred Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts that have been designated by the Stockholder Representative to Buyer at least three (3) calendar days prior to the Second Deferred Payment Date. Following notice from Buyer that the full amount of the Deferred Payment has been remitted, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Stock Certificates to Buyer within three (3) business days of the Second Deferred Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Buyer fails to pay the full amount of the Deferred Payment on or before the Second Deferred Payment Date, the Common Stock shall be automatically transferred back to the Stockholders without the requirement of further notice, payment or demand. The right to the return of the Common Stock provided for in this Section 2.5 shall be the sole remedy of the Stockholders and their respective successors and assigns with respect of any claim related to a breach of Buyer’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except for any claims due to Buyer’s breach of Section 7.1. For clarity, as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall be entitled to all voting rights of the shares represented by the Stock Certificates. In addition, any improvements or developments to the Capsid Products or to the HBsAg Products made between the Closing Date and the Second Deferred Payment Date shall be deemed the property of the Company.
