a Settlement and Distribution Agreement ("Distribution Agreement"), which was attached by the Court as an exhibit to the March 14, 2006 final judgment. Pursuant Paragraph 4 of the Distribution Agreement, Flagstar agreed to withdraw its Petition upon the occurrence of the following events: (1) the execution of the Distribution Agreement by all of the parties hereto, (2) the Government's agreement that it shall receive a Seized Cost Allocation not to exceed $283,000; (3) a restitution order entered by the Court that reflects the payout distribution identified in paragraph 1 of the Distribution Agreement and (4) the restoration of the assets identified in the Notice of Forfeiture to the Clerk of the Court. The Government has informed Flagstar that this Court cannot enter a restitution order, (and therefore that the assets cannot be restored), until Flagstar withdraws its Petition. Flagstar therefore files this motion to withdraw its Petition on the condition that the events specified in Paragraph 4 of the Agreement occur. Specifically, Flagstar's motion to withdraw is conditioned on the Court's entry of a restitution order reflecting the payout distribution identified in paragraph 1 of the Distribution Agreement, and on the restoration of the assets identified in the Notice of Forfeiture to the Clerk of the Court. If those events do not occur, the Government and Flagstar mutually agree that Flagstar may re-file its Petition to Amend the Notice of Forfeiture.
