This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 157 (b)(2). 2. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. 3. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are Rules 2002, 3003 and 9008 of the Bankruptcy Rules and Rule 3003-1 of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure for the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of Michigan (the Local Rules).

6. On May 24, 2005, the United States Trustee appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Committee). 7. On June 24, 2005, a meeting of creditors was held by the United States trustee pursuant to section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code (the 341 Meeting). Pursuant to Local Rule 3003-1, the last date for the filing of proofs of claim is set 90 days after the first date scheduled for the 341 Meeting. 8. On July 27, 2005, the Debtors filed the Motion for an Order Extending the General Bar Date for Filing Proofs of Claim [Docket No. 798] seeking to extend the general bar date by six months from September 22, 2005 to March 22, 2006. On August 11, 2005, the Court entered an order approving the motion [Docket No. 918] extending the general bar date for filing proofs of claim to March 22, 2006 (the Original Bar Date). Relief Requested 9.

11. As stated above, presently March 22, 2006 is the Original Bar Date in these cases. The Debtors, however, now believe that it is in the best interest of all parties that the Court establish the day that is 50 days after the Order is entered as the last date by which proofs of claim must be filed. The fixing of such day as the Bar Date will enable the Debtors to receive, process and begin their analysis of creditors claims in a timely and efficient manner, and allow the Debtors to make further progress toward a stand-alone plan of reorganization or sale of their assets, consistent with the Debtors dual-track plan. Additionally, based on the notice
procedures set forth below, the Debtors believe that such date will give all creditors, including governmental units, ample opportunity to prepare and timely file proofs of claim. 12. Pursuant to the proposed Order, each entity (including each individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, estate, trust and governmental unit (as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code)) that asserts a claim (as defined in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Debtors that arose before the Petition Date, must follow the proof of claim filing procedures (the Claim Filing Procedures) attached to this Motion as Exhibit B prior to the Bar Date to assert such claim against the Debtors in these cases. The Debtors accordingly request that the Court approve the Claim Filing Procedures as set forth in Exhibit B. 13. The following entities (as defined by Section 101(15) of the
Bankruptcy Code) are not required to file a proof of claim on or before the Bar Date: a. any entity that has already properly filed, with the Collins & Aikman Claims Processing Center or the Clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, a proof of claim against the applicable Debtor or Debtors, utilizing a claim form that substantially conforms to the Official Form No. 10; any entity (i) whose claim is listed on the Debtors Schedules, (ii) whose claim is not described on such Schedules as disputed, contingent or unliquidated, (iii) whose claim is asserted against a specific Debtor and 4
K&E 10783587.8
b.
(iv) who does not dispute the amount or nature of the claim or the Debtor against whom the claim is asserted as set forth in the Schedules; c. any entity solely having a claim under sections 503 or 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense of any of the Debtors chapter 11 cases; any entity whose claim has been paid in full by any of the Debtors; any entity that holds a claim that has been allowed by an order of this Court entered on or before the Bar Date; any entity whose claim is limited exclusively to the repayment of principal, interest and/or other applicable fees and charges (a Debt Claim) on or under any bond or note issued by the Debtors pursuant to an indenture (the Debt Instruments); provided, however, that (i) the foregoing exclusion in this subparagraph shall not apply to the Indenture Trustee under the applicable Debt Instruments (the Indenture Trustee), (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall be required to file one proof of claim, on or before the Bar Date, with respect to all of the Debt Claims on or under each of the Debt Instruments and (iii) any holder of a Debt Claim wishing to assert a claim, other than a Debt Claim, arising out of or relating to the Debt Instruments shall be required to file a proof of claim on or before the Bar Date, unless another exception in this paragraph 13 applies; any holder of a claim for which specific deadlines have previously been fixed by this Court; and a Debtor in these chapter 11 cases having a claim against another Debtor.
d. e. f.
g. h.
14. Any entity that holds a claim that arises from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease must file a proof of claim based on such rejection on or before the latest of (a) the Bar Date, (b) thirty calendar days after entry of an order authorizing the rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease and (c) the date the Court fixes in the order authorizing the rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease. 15. Any holder of an equity interest in the Debtors need not file a proof of such interest; provided that if any such holder asserts a claim against the Debtors (including a claim
5
K&E 10783587.8
relating to an equity interest or the purchase or sale of such equity interest), a proof of such claim must be filed on or before the Bar Date pursuant to the claim filing procedures set forth herein. 16. The Debtors have prepared a proof of claim form tailored to conform to the size and complexity of these chapter 11 cases, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the Proof of Claim Form). The Proof of Claim Form substantially conforms with Official Form No. 10. The Debtors proposed modifications to Official Form No. 10 are: a. b. c. indicating (for scheduled claimants) which Debtor case the claimant is scheduled in and that Debtors case number; allowing the creditor to correct any information contained in the name and address portion; indicating (for scheduled claimants) how the Debtors have listed each creditors respective claim on the Debtors Schedules, including the amounts of the claim, and whether the claim has been listed as contingent, unliquidated or disputed; and including certain instructions for completing the form specific to these chapter 11 cases.
d.
17. The Debtors request that the Court approve the Proof of Claim Form with the modifications contained therein. 18. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2), the Debtors propose that (a) any holder of a claim against one or more of the Debtors who is required, but fails, to file a proof of claim for such claim in accordance with the Claim Filing Procedures on or before the Bar Date shall be forever barred, estopped and enjoined from asserting such claim against such Debtor (or filing a proof of claim with respect thereto), (b) such Debtors estate and its property shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness or liability with respect to such claim and (c) such holder shall not be permitted to vote to accept or reject any chapter 11 plan or participate in any distribution in such Debtors case on account of such claim or to receive further notices regarding such claim. 6
K&E 10783587.8
19. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7), the Debtors propose to mail a bar date notice, substantially in the form of notice attached hereto as Exhibit D (the Bar Date Notice) and a Proof of Claim Form to: a. all parties listed on the Debtors master mailing matrix, which includes all known holders of claims or parties to litigation listed on the Debtors Schedules at the addresses stated therein; and all entities on the Master Service List as defined in the First Amended Notice, Case Management and Administrative Procedures filed on June 9, 2005 [Docket No. 294].
b.
The Debtors propose to mail the Bar Date Notices and Proofs of Claim within approximately ten calendar days of the Courts entry of the Order. 20. Under the procedures set forth herein, creditors and potential creditors would receive approximately 40 days notice of the Bar Date, which is significantly more notice of the Bar Date than the 20 days notice required by Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7). Given the 40-day notice period contemplated by the Debtors, creditors and other holders of claims would have more than sufficient notice, time and opportunity to file their proofs of claim. 21. In addition to service of the Bar Date Notice and Proof of Claim Form on the entities listed above, the Debtors propose to give notice by publication to unknown creditors in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 9008, by publishing notice of the Bar Date, substantially in the form of the Bar Date Notice (the Publication Notice), once at least thirty days before the Bar Date in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today (National Edition) and the Detroit Free Press/Detroit News. 22. The Bar Date Notice and the Publication Notice will: (a) advise creditors and other holders of claims whether they must file a proof of claim under Bankruptcy Rules 3002(a) and 3003(c)(2); (b) alert such creditors and other holders of claims to the consequences of failing to timely file a proof of claim as set forth in Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2); (c) specify the form to 7
K&E 10783587.8
be used in filing a proof of claim; (d) set forth the Bar Date; (e) set forth the address to which proofs of claim must be sent; (f) notify entities that proofs of claim must be sent with original signatures; (g) notify entities that proofs of claim may not be submitted by facsimile, telecopy, PDF or electronic mail transmission; (h) notify creditors that a single proof of claim can only be filed against a single Debtor; and (i) advise entities holding claims against more than one Debtor of the necessity of filing a separate claim in the case of each Debtor against which the entity asserts a claim. 23. The Debtors submit that the Bar Date Notice and the Publication Notice will provide all known and unknown creditors and other holders of claims with sufficient information to timely file a properly prepared and executed proof of claim and request that the proposed procedures regarding the Bar Date and Publication Notice be deemed good, adequate and sufficient notice to all known and unknown creditors and other holders of claims. Notice 24. Notice of this Motion has been given to the Primary Service List as required by the Case Management Procedures.3 In light of the nature of the relief requested, the Debtors submit that no further notice is required. No Prior Request 25. No prior motion for the relief requested herein has been made to this or any other court.
Capitalized terms used in this paragraph 24 not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the First Amended Notice, Case Management and Administrative Procedures filed on June 9, 2005 [Docket No. 294].

DEFINITIONS
Debtor
The person, corporation or other entity that has filed a bankruptcy case is called the debtor.
Secured Claim
A claim is a secured claim if the creditor has a lien on property of the debtor (collateral) that gives the creditor the right to be paid from that property before creditors who do not have liens on the property. Examples of liens are a mortgage on real estate and a security interest in a car, truck, boat, television set or other item of property. A lien may have been obtained through a court proceeding before the bankruptcy case began. In some states a court judgment is a lien. In addition, to the extent a creditor also owes money to the debtor (has a right of setoff), the creditors claim may be a secured claim. (See also Unsecured Claim)
Unsecured Claim
If a claim is not a secured claim it is an unsecured claim. A claim may be partly secured and partly unsecured if the property on which a creditor has a lien is not worth enough to pay the creditor in full.
Creditor
A creditor is any person, corporation or other entity to whom the debtor owed a debt on the date that the bankruptcy case was filed.
Proof of Claim
A form filed with the claims processing center, to tell the bankruptcy court how much the debtor owed a creditor at the time the bankruptcy case was filed (the amount of the creditors claim). This form must be filed with the claims processing center.
Items to be completed in Proof of Claim form (if not already filled in)
Court, Name of Debtor, and Case Number:
Fill in the name of the federal judicial district where the bankruptcy case was filed (for example, Central District of California), the name of the debtor in the bankruptcy case and the bankruptcy case number. If you received a notice of the case from the court, all of this information is near the top of the notice.
5. Secured Claim:
Check the appropriate place if the claim is a secured claim. You must state the type and value of the property that is collateral for the claim, attach copies of the documentation of your lien, and state the amount past due on the claim as of the date the bankruptcy case was filed. A claim may be partly secured and partly unsecured. (See DEFINITIONS, above).
8. Credits:
By signing this proof of claim, you are stating under oath that in calculating the amount of your claim you have given the debtor credit for all payments received from the debtor.
3. Court Judgments:
If you have a court judgment for this debt, state the date the court entered the judgment.
9. Supporting Documents:
You must attach to this proof of claim form copies of documents that show the debtor owes the debt claimed or, if the documents are too lengthy, a summary of those documents. If documents are not available, you must attach an explanation of why they are not available.
**The original of this completed form must be sent by mail or by hand or overnight delivery (FAXES, EMAILS AND OTHER METHODS OF DELIVERY ARE NOT ACCEPTED) so that it is received on or before 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on ____________, 2006:
