SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES OF DEBT
Published on August 15, 2001
EXHIBIT 20.1
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 July 1, 2001, and December 31, 2000, and for the six-month
periods ended July 1, 2001, and July 2, 2000 (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.
