Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement.

On January 24, 2025, Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with DirectMed Imaging, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer purchased assets of the Company used in the operation of its International Medical Equipment and Service (IMES) business as well as ALTA tube and related inventory (the “IMES Sale”). Buyer will only assume certain liabilities relating to the IMES business that are specified in the Purchase Agreement. The IMES Sale transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on January 24, 2025.

 

The purchase price for the IMES Sale is $8.2 million in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains a customary working capital adjustment mechanism, pursuant to which the purchase price will be adjusted based on the amount by which certain working capital items at closing are greater or less than a target set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for a transaction of this type, including, among others, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to engage in business activity that is competitive with the IMES business in the United States.

The Company will indemnify Buyer against losses incurred by Buyer in connection with breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, as well as losses incurred by Buyer in connection with certain other matters specified in the Purchase Agreement. The aforementioned indemnification obligations of the Company are subject to the limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Purchase Agreement or its subject matter, is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 24, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the IMES Sale, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in Item 7.01 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 24, 2025 by and between DirectMed Imaging, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”) and Richardson Electronics, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 8.01 of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller are referred to herein each as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

Recitals

A. Seller operates a division known as its “International Medical Equipment and Service” division which engages in sales, installation and service of CT and MRI parts and equipment (but excluding the sale of the parts identified on Exhibit A hereto) (the “Business”).

B. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Buyer desires to purchase, acquire and assume from Seller, and Seller desires to sell, transfer and assign to Buyer, substantially all of the assets of Seller used directly and primarily in the operation of the Business and certain liabilities relating to the Business, as more fully set forth herein.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Article I

THE SALE AND PURCHASE TRANSACTION

1.01 Sale and Purchase of Business Assets. Except for the Retained Assets or as otherwise set forth herein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby sells and transfers to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following assets of Seller (collectively, the “Acquired Assets”):

(a) the Contracts identified on Schedule 1.01(a) (collectively, the “Acquired Contracts”);

(b) all assets specifically included in the calculation of Net Working Capital; and

(c) the assets set forth on Schedule 1.01(c).

Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary stated herein, the Acquired Assets shall not include Cash, Benefit Plans, all Tax Returns related to the Acquired Assets or the Business, all claims for and rights to receive Tax Refunds, or any contracts or other assets of Seller set forth on Schedule 1.01(d) attached hereto (the “Retained Assets”).

 


 

1.02 Assumption of Select Liabilities; Retained Liabilities. (a) Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform, satisfy or discharge when due, only the following obligations of the Business (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”): (i) the Liabilities of the Business specifically included in the calculation of Net Working Capital, (ii) the Liabilities of the Business arising after Closing under the Acquired Contracts; provided, however, Buyer is not assuming any Liabilities of the Business in respect of a breach of or default under, or any noncompliance with applicable Laws with respect to, any Acquired Contract that occurred prior to the Closing or with respect to any contract that is not an Acquired Contract; and (iii) the Liabilities with respect to the ownership of the Acquired Assets to the extent first arising following the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be responsible to pay, perform or discharge any Liabilities of Seller of any kind or nature whatsoever other than the Assumed Liabilities (the “Retained Liabilities”), which Retained Liabilities shall include any and all Liabilities related to the Retained Assets as well as any Liabilities related to invoices that are received after the Closing that relate to the period before the Closing and Seller shall perform, satisfy and discharge when due such Retained Liabilities.

1.03 Purchase Price. (a) As payment in full for the Acquired Assets being acquired by Buyer hereunder, (i) Buyer shall assume the Assumed Liabilities and shall pay to Seller, in the manner set forth in Article II hereof, the sum of: (a) Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000) in cash, plus (b) the Net Working Capital Adjustment (which, for clarity, may be a positive or negative amount), in each case, as of the Closing Date (such total amount set forth in (a)-(b) above is referred to as the “Closing Payment”), (the Closing Payment together with the Assumed Liabilities assumed by Buyer hereunder, collectively being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 1.03.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing Payment shall be estimated and definitively determined in accordance with this Section 1.03(b).

(i) For purposes of Closing, at least one (1) day prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth its estimate of the Closing Payment, including each component thereof, which Estimated Closing Statement shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Buyer and shall be prepared in accordance and consistent with those policies and procedures used to prepare the example calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Exhibit B (the “NWC Methodologies”). The calculation of the Closing Payment in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be the “Estimated Closing Payment”. As soon as practicable, but in any event within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller a certificate setting forth Buyer’s good faith estimate and reasonably detailed calculation of the Closing Payment, including a calculation of the actual Net Working Capital (including such schedules and data as may be appropriate to support such calculations) as of the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Report”). The Buyer’s Report shall be prepared and calculated in accordance and consistent with the NWC Methodologies).

 


 

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after delivery to Seller of Buyer’s Report and supporting documentation, Seller may deliver to Buyer a written report (the “Seller’s Report”) advising Buyer of any adjustments to such calculation of the Closing Payment that may be required in the opinion of Seller. If Seller does not submit Seller’s Report within the thirty (30)-day period provided herein, then the calculation of the Closing Payment set forth in the Buyer’s Report shall become final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment absent manifest error, Fraud or willful misrepresentation. In the event that Seller submits a Seller’s Report deeming that, in its opinion, one or more adjustments are required, Buyer and Seller shall confer in good faith to attempt to resolve any disagreements between the Buyer’s Report and Seller’s Report.

(iii) If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such disagreements between Buyer’s Report and Seller’s Report within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of Seller’s Report (or such other period as the Parties may mutually agree), then either Buyer or Seller shall be entitled to submit such disagreements to a mutually agreed upon independent accounting firm that has no material relationship with any of the Parties (the “Settlement Accountants”), and the determinations of the Settlement Accountants with respect to the Closing Payment, which shall be made in a written statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision shall be final and shall not be subject to further review, challenge or adjustment absent manifest error, fraud or willful misrepresentation. The determination by the Settlement Accountants of the amounts in dispute shall be based solely on the written submissions of Buyer and Seller and no other information or hearing, and shall not involve the Settlement Accountants’ independent review. Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, will be afforded an opportunity to submit one (1) written submission to the Settlement Accountants (a copy of which shall be provided to the other party) simultaneously and one (1) simultaneous written response to the other party’s submission, in each case, on days agreed to in the engagement letter with the Settlement Accountants. The Settlement Accountants may make reasonable requests for additional information from Buyer and Seller after review of the initial written submissions, and if the Settlement Accountants elects to do so, Buyer and Seller have fifteen (15) days to respond unless otherwise agreed and if after the initial submission but before the reply then the time limits on preparation of the reply are tolled until the questions are answered. The Settlement Accountants shall act as an expert, and not an arbitrator. Any determination by the Settlement Accountants shall not be outside the range defined by the respective amounts in the Buyer’s Report and Seller’s Report proposed by Buyer and Seller, respectively, and the Net Working Capital Methodologies. The costs and expenses of the Settlement Accountants shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based on the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, and such allocation of fees and expenses shall be calculated by the Settlement Accountants and shall be final and binding on the Parties absent manifest error, fraud or willful misrepresentation. By way of illustration, if the amount in dispute is $1,000 and the Settlement Accountant’s final determination results in an aggregate net payment of $750 in favor of Seller, then Buyer shall pay seventy-five percent (75%) and Seller shall pay twenty-five percent (25%) of such fees and expenses.

 


 

(iv) As used herein, the “Final Closing Payment” means (A) if Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Report in accordance with Section 1.03(b)(ii), the Closing Payment as set forth in the Buyer’s Report or (B) if the Closing Payment is resolved by Seller and the Buyer or by submission of any disputes to the Settlement Accountants, as contemplated by Section 1.03(b)(iii), the Closing Payment as so resolved.

(v) If the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Estimated Closing Payment, then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination thereof), Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller.

(vi) If the Final Closing Payment is less than the Estimated Closing Payment then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of the final determination thereof) Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Buyer.

(vii) If the Final Closing Payment is equal to the Estimated Closing Payment then no adjustment shall be made.

(viii) All payments made pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(v) or Section 1.03(b)(vi) shall be treated by all Parties for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

1.04 Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 1.04, to the extent that the assignment or transfer to Buyer of any Acquired Asset (including an Acquired Contract) would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a Party to this Agreement, and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver shall not have been obtained before the Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a transfer or assignment, or an attempted transfer or assignment, thereof; provided, however, that, the Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will, if and to the extent requested by Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to provide to Buyer the benefits of the applicable Acquired Asset, (ii) to cooperate in any commercially reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer, (iii) to enforce, in each case at the request and expense of and for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller arising from any such Acquired Asset, and (iv) to assist Buyer in obtaining any required consents following the Closing. To the extent that Buyer is provided the benefits of any Acquired Asset, Buyer will perform or discharge

 


 

the obligations arising under such Acquired Asset except for any obligation under such Acquired Asset that would not be an Assumed Liability.

(d) This Section 5.07 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.07, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.07. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement.

Neither Buyer nor Seller shall be obligated to provide the other party with access to any books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 5.08 where such access would violate any Law or that could negate the attorney client privilege and/or accountant client privilege and/or work product exception, applicable to such books and records.

5.09 Approvals and Consents. Required Governmental Approvals and Notices shall be the responsibility of Buyer to secure, but in cooperation and consultation with Seller (including by and through its counsel) in accordance with this Agreement.

6.04 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Party entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (in such capacity, the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”), then the Indemnified Party shall promptly after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis of the claim; provided, that, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not limit the indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall actually prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Third Party Claim, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to participate in or assume the control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim if: (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any matter involving criminal conduct on the part of an Indemnified Party; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against

 


 

any Indemnified Party; (iii) the Third Party Claim has or would reasonably be expected to result in Losses that would exceed the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to this Article VI; (iv) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim; or (v) the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged within twenty (20) days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of a Third Party Claim that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf; provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless, if under the applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict with respect to any interests between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party exists in respect of such action or proceeding that could reasonably be expected to result in material prejudice to an Indemnified Party (and in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) additional counsel (and one (1) local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction if the first named additional counsel does not have an office in such other relevant jurisdiction) as may be retained by such Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party has failed to deliver a written notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days of its receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim (and until any such notice is delivered), the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party exercises its right to control the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of a Third Party Claim or ceasing to defend such Third Party Claim if, (i) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release all Indemnified Parties from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim without prejudice, or (iii) if such settlement includes any statement as to or an admission of fact, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of clarification, the Parties acknowledge that the consent to entry of judgment or settlement of any Third Party claim by an Indemnified Party shall not be dispositive of whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnity, it being expressly understood that the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations for any Third Party Claim must result from, arise out of, or relate to or be caused by a breach of a representation or warranty or breach or nonperformance of any covenant, agreement or other obligation for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI.

6.05 Direct Claims. In order to seek indemnification against a Party under this Article VI with respect to a Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly after learning of the existence thereof notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis of the claim; provided, that, the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not limit the indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall actually prejudice any defense or claim available to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice, the Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnified Party’s notice will be deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of such Loss from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms and

 


 

conditions of this Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party objects to a claim of indemnification made hereunder, the Indemnified Party may pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies available to them in this Agreement and applicable Law.

6.06 Exclusive Remedy. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, the provisions of Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party with respect to any and all claims arising out of or in connection with breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter hereof, except for claims based on Fraud. Nothing in this Section 6.06 shall prevent or prohibit a party from seeking or obtaining specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 5.04(d)(i) or Section 9.11.

6.07 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in this Article VI shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Payments by an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim (subject to any increases in premiums resulting from any such claim). The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement (provided that commercially reasonable effort shall not include a requirement by the Indemnified Party to file a lawsuit to collect under any insurance policy or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreement).

Article VII

TAX MATTERS

7.01 Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of the Business that are payable with respect to any Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Pre-Closing Taxes shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be allocated using the same mechanics set forth in clause (ii); and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of the Business or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date

 


 

and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. This Section 7.01 shall not apply to any Transfer Taxes.

7.02 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. It is the intention of the Parties to treat any indemnity payment made under Article VI as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes, and the Parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.

7.03 Intended Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) For U.S. federal and state income Tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the final determination of the Purchase Price, Buyer will prepare and provide an allocation of Purchase Price and the applicable Liabilities (plus other relevant items) among the Acquired Assets for tax purposes (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). The Purchase Price Allocation shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations and the methodologies set forth on Schedule 7.03. If within twenty (20) days of receiving the Purchase Price Allocation, Seller has not objected to the Purchase Price Allocation, the Purchase Price Allocation shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer. If within twenty (20) days of receiving the Purchase Price Allocation, Seller objects to the Purchase Price Allocation, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to resolve their differences; provided, that, if after twenty (20) days of cooperating in good faith, Seller and Buyer are unable to agree on the Purchase Price Allocation, Seller and Buyer shall retain the Settlement Accountants to resolve their dispute (provided that the Settlement Accountants utilize the allocation methodologies set forth on Schedule 7.03), which shall resolve the disagreement in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 1.03(b) applied mutatis mutandis, and the determinations of the Settlement Accountants with respect to the Purchase Price Allocation, which shall be made in a written statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision shall be final and shall not be subject to further review. The costs and expense of the Settlement Accountants shared equally by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. Buyer and Seller shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation to reflect changes in the Purchase Price or the applicable Liabilities (or other relevant items).

(c) Unless otherwise required by Law, Buyer and Seller shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to): (i) timely file all Tax Returns and information reports in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Purchase Price Allocation, and (ii) not take any position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment or the Purchase Price Allocation for U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income Tax purposes (including in connection with any audit or other examination of Taxes by any Taxing Authority).

7.04 Tax Refunds. All refunds of Taxes of Seller with respect to the Business or the Acquired Assets for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the pre-Closing portion of Taxes owed with respect to any Straddle Period as determined under Section 7.01) (whether in the form of cash received or a credit or offset against Taxes otherwise payable) (collectively, a “Tax Refund”) shall be the property of Seller (net of any Taxes thereon and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses

 


 

attributable thereto), except to the extent such Tax Refund was included in the computation of Net Working Capital (as finally determined under Section 1.03). To the extent that Buyer or any of its Affiliates realizes a Tax Refund that is the property of Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount of such Tax Refund (and interest received from the applicable Taxing Authority) to Seller. The amount due to Seller shall be payable ten (10) days after receipt of the Tax Refund from the applicable Taxing Authority (or, if the Tax Refund is in the form of a direct credit, ten (10) days after the due date of the Tax Return claiming such Tax Refund). If reasonably requested by Seller, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to timely claim any Tax Refund that will give rise to a payment under this Section 7.04. If any Tax Refund previously paid pursuant to this Section 7.04 to Seller is subsequently disallowed by, and required to be repaid to, a taxing authority, such disallowed Tax Refund plus any interest thereon shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be considered a Pre-Closing Tax for purposes of this Agreement.
