RESPONSE OF SHAWMUT CORPORATION TO THE COLLINS & AIKMAN LITIGATION TRUST AND POST-CONSUMMATION TRUSTS FIFTEENTH OMNIBUS OBJECTION TO CLAIMS (MULTIDEBTOR DUPLICATE CLAIMS)

Shawmut Corporation (Shawmut), a secured and unsecured creditor of the Debtors, hereby responds to The Collins & Aikman Post-Consummation Trusts Fifteenth Omnibus Objection to Claims (Multidebtor Duplicate Claims) (the Trust; the Fifteenth Objection). Shawmut is prepared to acquiesce in the disallowance of its claims nos. 3210 and 3214, provided that its surviving claim, claim no. 3411 properly survives intact in its as-filed amounts: (i) secured $426,954.48, and (ii) unsecured $4,169.67. The Trust provides no support, let alone explanation, for its omission of the unsecured portion of Shawmuts claim no. 3411. Perhaps the omission was inadvertent; in any event, there is no basis therefor.

CONCLUSION For all the foregoing reasons, the Trusts objection to Shawmuts claims in the Fifteenth Objection should be overruled to the extent that it does not provide for the intact survival of Shawmuts claim no. 3411 in the secured amount of $426,954.48 and the unsecured amount of $4,169.97, and Shawmut should be accorded all such other and further relief as may be just.
