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 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).
