As you may know, on July 15, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an emergency order < http://sec.gov/rules/other/2008/34-58166.pdf > in an attempt to enhance investor protections against "naked" short selling in the securities of Fannie Mae (FNM, Freddie Mac (FRE), and primary dealers at commercial and investment banks. The SEC directive will become effective at 12:01am (ET) Monday, July 21, 2008 through 11:59pm (ET) on July 29, 2008, unless otherwise extended.

Please note that Knight Equity Markets, L.P. and Knight Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, “Knight”) will continue to accept all order types and provide execution services in these securities.

As a result of the SEC Order, and pursuant to Regulation SHO, Knight will require that all short sale orders your firm (a non-NASD member) sends to Knight in the 19 subject securities specify that you have borrowed or arranged to borrow the security. You can identify this borrow or arrangement to borrow by placing the name or identity of the broker that provided the borrow in the field that you currently use for locates. Failure to provide this information will result in Knight rejecting the order. As it relates to short sale orders in all other securities, the locate information you currently provide will continue to be required.

You may use the same specified field of the order that you currently use for the locate information to provide the information relating to the borrow in the 19 subject securities.

For a copy of the SEC press release, please access http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2008/2008-143.htm. If you have any questions, please contact your Knight Service Representative.

Dear Valued Client:

On November 5, 2007, NASDAQ will complete its roll-out of adding NYSE and AMEX listed securities into the NASDAQ Opening and Closing Crosses with approximately 5,000 additional securities.

In an effort to insure we continue to provide you with superior execution services, Knight Capital Markets, LLC (Knight) will execute eligible pre-opening orders in a pilot list of securities (noted below), at a single price that will be based on the NASDAQ Official Opening Price (NOOP), and execute all market-on-close (MOC) orders at a single price that will be based on the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (NOCP), effective on November 5th. (Note: Knight will continue to handle orders and provide execution for ETF's trading till 4:15 pm ET)

Dear Valued Client:

Knight Capital Markets LLC, ("Knight") is pleased to announce that effective today, October 1, 2007, Knight has implemented two new Alternative Opening Protocols for pre-open orders in listed securities. These protocols are designed to address issues that can occur when, for technical or other reasons, a primary exchange fails to conduct a normal opening or does not open on time. Knight may, at its sole discretion, invoke either of the following two protocols:

Alternative Opening Protocol #1
If, prior to 9:28:00 a.m., ET, a stock’s primary exchange announces that it is unlikely to conduct its normal opening in a stock due to a system failure or a non-regulatory halt, Knight will provide executions to pre-open orders in that stock. Knight will use the NASDAQ Opening Cross print to set the price benchmark for executions of pre-open orders. (Currently, DIA, IWM, MDY, OIH, SMH, SPY and XLE are eligible for NASDAQ's Opening Cross.)

Alternative Opening Protocol #2
Contingent upon the length of the primary exchange’s outage or delay in a stock, Knight may, at its sole discretion, invoke Alternative Opening Protocol 2 to open its market in any stock at or after 9:30:00am ET. In this scenario, Knight will not provide an "opening print" to pre-open orders in that stock. (The length of the primary exchange’s opening delay and/or systems outage in those stocks will increase the likelihood that Knight will invoke this protocol.)

Please visit www.knight.com/sellSide/orderHandlingProtocols.asp for the complete text of both new Alternative Opening Protocols and please visit www.nasdaqtrader.com/open for more information about NASDAQ’s Opening Cross.

If you have any questions regarding this email, please contact me or your Knight Representative.

Thank you for your continued business and support.

Dear Valued Client:

Knight Equity Markets, L.P. & Knight Capital Markets, LLC (collectively "Knight") continues to review and respond to market structure issues by responsibly adjusting its product offerings to better reflect the dynamics of the new marketplace in order to insure that you continue to receive superior customer service and execution quality.

In one such change, scheduled to become effective on Monday, August 6th, 2007, Knight will elect stop and stop limit orders in listed securities based on the National Best Bid / Best Offer (NBBO), instead of the consolidated print.

Please refer to the order handling protocols below for a more detailed description of this new method of stop election.

Please contact your Knight representative or me with any questions.

Thank you for your continued business and support.

Sincerely,

Frank Grampone

Managing Director - Operations

Election of Stop Orders:
Sell Stop Orders and Sell Stop Limit Orders are 'elected' when the National Best Bid meets or falls below the stop price. (If, when the order is received, the stop price is equal to the National Best Bid, the order is deemed 'elected' immediately upon its receipt.)
Buy Stop Orders and Buy Stop Limit Orders are 'elected' when the National Best Offer meets or exceeds the stop price. (If, when the order is received, the stop price is equal to the National Best Offer, the order is deemed 'elected' immediately upon its receipt.)
Note: Pre-opening Stop or Stop Limit orders are triggered based upon the first unlocked, uncrossed consolidated bid/ask.
Note: A National Best Bid or Offer that would otherwise elect a stop price will not elect that stop price if that Bid or Offer is one side or the other of a Locked or Crossed Market.

For a Stop Order to be accepted:
The stop price of a Sell Stop Order or of a Sell Stop Limit Order must be equal to or below the National Best Bid when received, (otherwise it will be rejected).
The stop price of a Buy Stop Order or of a Buy Stop Limit Order must be equal to or above the National Best Offer when received, (otherwise it will be rejected).

To All Clients:

The purpose of this e-mail is to remind clients of Knight's good-till-canceled (GTC) order handling policy.

Knight maintains your GTC orders in NASDAQ, Listed, Bulletin Board and Pink Sheet securities on file for one calendar year.

If your GTC order has not been cancelled by you or executed during this period, it will automatically expire.

Clients are notified of an expiring order with a "ur-out" administrative message, sent at the conclusion of the trading session that precedes the one-year anniversary of order's original entry date.

A daily file containing expired GTC orders can also be provided to you, upon request to HELP@Knight.com.

Please contact your Knight service representative or me with any questions.

Thank you for your continued business.

Dear Valued Client:

On July 9th, 2007, Knight began providing expanded limit order quote display to all orders in NASDAQ and listed securities regardless of order size.

While not mandated by SEC’s Order Handling Rules ("The Limit Order Display Rule" 11Ac1-4), Knight has chosen to increase the amount of size displayed for oversized limit orders as an expanded service to our clients. Knight believes that this change will improve your clients trading opportunities in a Regulation NMS trading environment.

For orders greater than 10,000 shares, Knight may, from time to time, display less than the full amount of the oversized order. However, Knight will auto-execute the entire undisplayed amount of your order upon the full execution of the portion which was displayed. This feature will reduce partial executions, provide greater price improvement, and minimize market impact.

If you have any questions regarding this or any Knight product or service, please contact me or visit our website at http://www.knight.com/sellSide/orderHandlingProtocols.asp for a more complete description of our offerings.

Thank you for your continued business.

Dear Valued Client:

As you know, the implementation of the "Pilot Stock Phase" of Regulation NMS, Rule 611 - the "Order Protection Rule," is scheduled to begin on Monday, July 9, 2007.

In response to the questions and inquiries from our clients, we have put together the following FAQ which may address those items relating to Knight's order handling protocols.

Will Knight make any changes to the way in which it currently handles Limit Order Quote Display (LOQD)?
Beginning on July 9th, 2007, Knight will provide LOQD to all orders in Nasdaq and listed securities, regardless of the share size or market value of the order.

What price will Knight use to trigger stop orders in listed securities?
Beginning on July 9th, 2007, Knight will use the consolidated print to trigger stop orders in listed securities [Knight will continue to use the consolidated bid/ask for Nasdaq securities].

Will there be any changes to the order types that are currently accepted?
Knight will continue to accept the same order types it accepts today, including stops and stop limits, FOK, IOC, OPG, CLO, etc...

When routing outbound orders, will Knight access "top of book" or "depth of book"?
Knight's proprietary smart routing does not limit itself to Regulation NMS top of book price protection.

Will you extend customers primary print protection in the Reg NMS environment?
Knight believes that full NMS compliance by all market participants should greatly reduce the need to introduce any form of automated primary print protection. When requested, however, Knight will consider extending print protection on a case by case basis, in a manner consistent with the exemption recently provided by the SEC.

(Non-Reg NMS Item)
With the elimination of the "tick" test, (scheduled for July 6, 2007), will Knight continue to accept orders that might still be marked as Sell Short or Sell Short Exempt?
Knight will adhere to whatever guidance that may be forthcoming by the SEC or SROs in this area. However, in the interim, and in order to assist our clients during this transition, Knight will continue to accept orders marked as Sell Short (SSHRT) or Sell Short Exempt (SSEMT) and will simply process them consistent with orders marked as a long sell.

If you have any questions regarding this or any Knight product or service, please contact me or visit our website at http://www.knight.com/sellSide/orderHandlingProtocols.asp for a more complete description of our offerings.

Thank you for your continued business.

Dear Valued Client:

As you know, the implementation of Regulation NMS, Rule 611 – the "Order Protection Rule," is rapidly approaching. In response to the questions and inquiries from our clients, we have put together the following FAQ which may address your questions relating to this new Rule.

What is the Order Protection Rule?
In essence, the new Rule will require trading centers to establish, maintain and enforce policies and procedures to prevent execution of trades at prices inferior to protected quotations displayed at other trading centers. Effectively, markets will not be permitted to trade through better prices reflected in the market.

When is the Order Protection Rule scheduled for implementation?
The SEC will implement the Order Protection Rule by phasing in securities beginning in July 2007 and continue through October 2007.

What has Knight done to prepare for the Order Protection Rule?
It will be imperative for a market center to have robust connectivity to external liquidity destinations in order to insure that it properly sweeps the market for the best prices. Knight’s industry-leading technology has already established multiple external access points which will connect to all displayed liquidity and market centers on behalf of your orders. We have built-in safeguards, real-time monitoring tools, and innovative technology which will help to insure that we are fully Regulation NMS compliant and continue to provide you with premier execution performance and service.

What are some things our clients can do to help prepare for Regulation NMS?
Insure you are connected with a firm that provides you with a gateway to all displayed liquidity in the marketplace and to all major market centers --insure you are connected to Knight.

Where can I find more information regarding Regulation NMS?
The SEC has published a comprehensive FAQ which discusses a number of additional items relating to this important new rule. You can access that FAQ via this link: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/rule611faq.pdf

Who can I contact with additional questions regarding Regulation NMS order handling?

Dear Valued Clients:

In an effort to further improve client services, Knight Equity Markets (Knight) will provide an electronic notification when an order in a foreign security is not accepted due to failing to meet the predefined minimum quantity levels of that security.

Currently orders in securities that trade in a non-US market (indicated by a 5-letter symbol ending in "F") with share quantities less than the minimum standards set by the foreign exchange are rejected by that exchange, thus requiring verbal notification to our clients.

Effective on Monday, September 18, 2006, an electronic message stating "Order Reject, Minimum QTY Needed" will be sent to the order sending firm confirming Knight's refusal of the order.

The minimum quantity determination of foreign securities will be based upon the levels as indicated by Bloomberg.

Dear Valued Clients:

On May 16, 2006, NASDAQ will introduce an Opening Cross in the secondary trading of an Initial Public Offering (IPO), which will set the NASDAQ Official Opening Price (NOOP).

In an effort to insure we continue to provide you with superior execution services, Knight Equity Markets (Knight) will execute all eligible pre-opening orders of an IPO at the NOOP.

Pre-opening orders are subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Orders may receive multiple executions
• There is no guarantee of an execution, as there could be insufficient liquidity at NASDAQ to satisfy that interest. Additionally, because of order execution priority protocols on NASDAQ's book, it is possible that one side of a "paired order" (where you send the buy and sell in the same stock) represented in the Cross will not receive an execution
• Orders received within thirty (30) seconds prior to the opening of secondary trading are not guaranteed execution at the NOOP and thus will be handled on a best efforts basis
• AON, Stop Loss and Sell Short orders are not eligible for the NOOP
• Any pre-opening order represented in the NASDAQ IPO Cross which does not receive an execution for the reasons noted above, will be handled as typical orders pursuant to Knight's post-opening order handling protocols.

For details on the NASDAQ IPO Opening Cross, please visit www.nasdaqtrader.com.

If you have any questions, please contact your Knight Representative or me at (201) 557 - 6895.

Thank you for your continued business.

Dear Valued Client:

Knight Equity Markets, L.P. (KEM) and Knight Capital Markets, LLC (KCM) (collectively "Knight") continue to introduce products and services that help improve your business. I would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief overview of some enhancements.

• Single Price Opening: On April 3rd, 2006, KEM will introduce a single-price opening for all OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheet issues. This provides a meaningful opportunity for price improvement to clients. Specifically, all eligible market and marketable limit orders, received prior to 9:25 a.m. EST, will be executed on a security-by-security basis—based on an imbalance driven crossing algorithm—at 9:30 a.m. EST.
• Pink Sheet Limit Order Quote Display: Effective April 3rd, 2006, KEM will provide limit order quote display (LOQD) in Pink Sheet securities, consistent with the guidelines of OTC Bulletin Board securities.
• Trailing Stop Order Handling: Effective April 3rd, 2006, Knight will accept stop-loss orders that adjust by percentage or point level according to fluctuations of the stock price.
• Listed Automation: Knight has recently implemented a fully automated order handling and execution process for NYSE & ASE listed securities, which will provide similar quality performance that we offer in Nasdaq securities.

We would also like to remind you of other products, services and performance standards that exceed market center alternatives, such as:

• OTC Bulletin Board Limit Order Quote Display
• Pink Sheet "Manning-Type" protection for shares
• OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheet Stop Order Protection
• Unparalleled Client Services
• Superior Execution Performance (see comparison below)

We believe that these enhanced products and performance underscore our commitment to quality execution services and demonstrate our ability to perform consistently well in a dynamic marketplace.

If you have any questions regarding any Knight product or service, please contact your sales representative or me. Please also visit our website at www.knight.com for a more complete description of our offering.

Thank you for your continued business.

Sincerely,

Dear Valued Client:

However, due to the readiness issues of the New York Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (ASE), Knight will not accept orders in increments smaller than $0.01, below $1 per share, in any NYSE and ASE listed security.

Therefore, Knight's acceptance of subpenny orders consistent with Reg NMS Rule 612, will only apply to Nasdaq securities on January 31st, 2006, until further notice.

Sincerely,
