ORDER CONFIRMING

ARBITRATION AWARD

Date: November 21, 2005

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Courtroom: 8

Judge: Charles R. Breyer

On November 18, 2005, this Court held a hearing on Milepost Inns, Inc.'s motion for an

order confirming the award of the arbitrator made in this matter.

The court has considered the declaration in support of the motion, Exhibits attached to the

declaration, and the arguments of counsel. It appears to the satisfaction of the court that the court

has jurisdiction over this matter, and that the award of the arbitrator dated August 15, 2005 was

properly made and that there is no basis for vacating, modifying, or correcting that award. It also

appears to the satisfaction of the court that the arbitration award was, pursuant to the terms of the

contract, intended to be final and binding on the parties, so that this court has the power to

confirm it under the provisions of Section 9 of the Federal Arbitration Act [9 U.S.C. §9].
