Cash Pooling. Dufry may direct the Company to, or cause its Subsidiaries to, deposit cash in any Dufry Group cash pooling arrangement up to the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness then outstanding borrowed by members of the Company Group from members of the Dufry Group. The Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall be compensated (or charged, if applicable interest rates are negative) by Dufry for any cash placed by the Company or its Subsidiaries in the cash pool arrangement based on the then-prevailing market rate for short-term cash balances in bank accounts at the same bank that operates the cash pooling arrangement. The cash deposited by Company Group members in the cash pooling arrangement may be used to secure any credit positions in the cash pooling arrangements, either of Company Group members or other Dufry Group members. Dufry may, in its sole discretion, offer the Company the ability to borrow from the cash pooling arrangement. Should the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incur Indebtedness from any cash pooling arrangement, the Company, or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall be charged an interest rate at the then-prevailing market rate applicable to borrowings by similar borrowers from the bank operating the cash pooling arrangement, as reasonably determined by Dufry, plus an additional 10 basis points (i.e., 0.10%). In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership or other similar status of Dufry AG or Dufry, the amount of any Indebtedness of Company Group members to Dufry Group members shall be automatically set off against any amounts deposited by Company Group members in any cash pooling arrangement that are not returned to such Company Group members upon demand by such Company Group members, irrespective of the due date of any claim by a Company Group member.
