                                                                                        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 June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001 (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.
