         The parties agree that with the fulfilment of the above-mentioned
         obligations and the proper termination of the service relationship in
         conformity with the terms of this agreement, any claims to which Mr.
         Batey may presently be entitled under the terms of his service contract
         and as a result of its termination - irrespective of the legal grounds
         on which such claims are based, be they known or unknown -, are hereby
         settled. All payments under this agreement are granted under the
         precondition that the Company does not get aware of any criminal
         offences or irregularities relating to his duties under his service
         relationship with the Collins & Aikman Group within a period of one
         year following expiry date. Thus, in such case no further payments
         under this contract and the service contract shall be made. In addition
         Mr. Batey has to remit all payments made under this agreement
         immediately.

                                   SECTION 12
                                SALVATORY CLAUSE

         Should any clause of this agreement be invalid, this shall not affect
         the validity of the remaining clauses. The parties undertake to replace
         the invalid clause with a valid clause coming closest to the original,
         but invalid clause.
