Pursuant to the 2004 Motions, the Committee sought authorization to conduct

examinations and obtain documents from the 2004 Parties in connection with investigating potential causes of action against the 2004 Parties. So as to avoid disrupting the Debtors' ongoing negotiations with its principal customers, and to facilitate a global settlement with the Debtors and the Debtors' prepetition lenders with respect to the treatment of unsecured creditors under a plan, the Committee agreed on several occasions to continue the hearings on the Standing Motion and the 2004 Motions. 4. Based on the terms of the Debtors' First Amended Joint Plan of Collins & Aikman

Corporation and its Debtor Subsidiaries and related disclosure statement, which embody terms agreed to by the Committee, the Committee hereby withdraws the Standing Motion and the 2004 Motions, without prejudice to the Committee's rights to refile such motions or any other pleadings with respect thereto at a later date. Dated: February 20, 2007 Respectfully Submitted,
