PF2 SELECTED TO PROVIDE CDO EVALUATIONS FOR SQX CLIENTS

Data Provider Adds Independent CDO Evaluations to its Product Suite

Aurora, IL (July 23, 2008) - The Securities Quote Xchange, LLC, an Illinois company offering investment managers electronic access to multiple dealer quotes, announced today that it has selected PF2 Securities Evaluations to provide CDO evaluations for its clients.

"In the wake of recent market illiquidity and a changing economic environment, we want to respond to our clients' growing need for transparency, particularly for their CDO portfolios," noted SQX President Jim Blinn.  "With PF2's status as an independent, neutral source of CDO evaluations, we feel this relationship is the best way for us to expand our existing pricing platforms to include CDOs."

"We are pleased SQX picked PF2 to be the third-party evaluation source for its CDO platform," commented PF2 Director Guillaume Fillebeen, "and are committed to providing the same consistency and responsiveness SQX provides its clients."
