Subsidiary unless the terms of such contract, arrangement, understanding or obligation are no<br />
less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be<br />

Restricted Subsidiary;<br />
(d) such Subsidiary does not own any Capital <strong>Stock</strong>, Redeemable Capital <strong>Stock</strong> or Debt of, or<br />

(e) such Subsidiary is not liable, directly or indirectly, with respect to any Debt, Lien or other<br />
obligation that, if in default, would result (with the passage of time or notice or otherwise) in<br />
a default on any of the Parent Guarantor’s Debt or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary,<br />
provided that an Unrestricted Subsidiary may provide a Guarantee for the Notes and (if<br />
providing a Guarantee of the Notes) the Existing <strong>Ardagh</strong> Bonds and the Debt outstanding<br />
under the Senior Facilities Agreement;<br />
