Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

The Company's Senior Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Credit Facility
agreements are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis
by certain of the Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The following is
condensed, consolidating financial information for the Company, segregating the
guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries, as of October 1, 2000,
and December 31, 1999, and for the nine-month periods ended October 1, 2000, and
October 3, 1999 (in millions of dollars). The presentation of certain prior-year
amounts has been changed in order to conform to the current-year presentation.
Separate financial statements for the guarantor subsidiaries and the
non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined
that such financial statements would not be material to investors.
