       Case No. 97-8836-CIV-FERGUSON
    
       Magistrate Judge Snow
    
       STIPULATED FINAL ORDER FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION AND SETTLEMENT OF
       CLAIMS FOR MONETARY RELIEF
    
       Plaintiff, the Federal Trade Commission ("Commission"), commenced this
       action by filing its complaint against defendants National Scholarship
       Foundation, Inc. ("NSF"), D.B.F. National Business Reporting Bureau,
       Inc. ("NBRB"), Eleanor Morse, Calvin Morse, Dorothy Beam, Sandra K.
       Brown, James P. McKenna, and Timothy Quinn (collectively, the
       "Defendants"). The complaint alleges that Defendants engaged in unfair
       or deceptive acts or practices in violation of Section 5 of the
       Federal Trade Commission Act ("FTC Act"), 15 U.S.C. § 45, and seeks a
       permanent injunction and monetary relief pursuant to Section 13(b) of
       the FTC Act. The Commission and Defendants hereby stipulate to the
       entry of this Final Order for Permanent Injunction and Settlement of
       Claims for Monetary Relief ("Order"). Defendants' stipulation is for
       settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission of
       facts, other than jurisdictional facts, or of violations of law as
       alleged in the Complaint. Being advised of the premises, the Court
       finds:
        1. This is an action by the Commission instituted under Sections 5
           and 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 45 and
           53(b). The complaint seeks both permanent injunctive relief and
           consumer redress for alleged unfair or deceptive acts or practices
           by Defendants in connection with the operation of a scholarship
           service and a business information reporting service.
        2. The Commission has the authority under Section 13(b) of the FTC
           Act to seek the relief it has requested.
        3. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case
           and has jurisdiction over Defendants. Venue in the Southern
           District of Florida is proper, and the complaint states a claim
           upon which relief may be granted against the defendants under
           Sections 5 and 13(b) of the FTC Act.
        4. The activities of Defendants are in or affecting commerce, as
           defined in 15 U.S.C. § 44.
