Biotechnology Company seeks Jupiter loan guarantee

Ocean Ridge Biosciences, which in 2009 received a $50,000 loan from Seacoast National Bank that was guaranteed by Jupiter, is working to overcome the town’s concerns about issuing an additional $100,000 guarantee, said David Willoughby, senior scientist, manager and co-owner of the four-employee company. Palm Beach Gardens-based Ocean Ridge is seeking the guarantee from Jupiter’s $3 million economic development fund, which was established in 2007 to aid the cluster of biotech companies growing in northern Palm Beach County around the Scripps Research Institute and Max Planck Florida Institute.

LIAM, Why devote a month to Life Insurance Awareness?

Pundits talk about the economic rebound, but the American public is still

cautious—and rightfully so. Uncertainty still bubbles in the job market, the

housing market—the economy in general. As a preventative measure,

people are spending less and saving more. And that’s good news. More

Americans are looking out for the financial stability of their families.

Saving more is a good start, but it’s not enough. What if you were suddenly

gone and your family had to manage on their own? If you have adequate life

insurance coverage, your family would be OK financially. But if you’re one of

the tens of millions of Americans who has little or no life insurance, how

long would it be before life would become a struggle for your family?

A young biotechnology company is close to getting a $100,000 bank loan that’s backed by the town of Jupiter.

It’s hard enough dealing with the emotional pain of losing a loved one. You don’t want your family’s emotional struggles

to be compounded by concerns about money.

To make sure Americans are reminded of the need to include life insurance in their financial plans, the nonprofit LIFE

Foundation coordinates Life Insurance Awareness Month. Each September, LIFE is joined in this educational initiative by

more than 100 of the nation’s leading insurance companies and industry groups.

LIFE’s website is the leading source of objective information about life insurance. Spend a few minutes learning more

and trying our interactive tools like the Life Insurance Needs Calculator. If you find that you have a need for coverage,

we strongly urge you to act by contacting an insurance professional who can help you safeguard your family’s financial

future.

A cutting edge product

AGLA's Quality of Life... more options on how to use Life Insurance

What if life insurance was designed to help policy owners live their lives, not just ease the financial burden at life's end?

Quality of Life... Insurance(SM) from American General Life and Accident Insurance Company (AGLA) has taken this bold

approach, which is paying off despite a volatile economy and a polarizing healthcare debate (see also American General

Life and Accident Insurance Company).

AGLA announced that in just over four short years Quality of Life... Insurance, which allows owners to accelerate their

benefits before their death to pay for critical health care needs or to meet certain financial goals or obligations;

consumers have purchased more than 192,000 policies for over $23 billion in total issued face amount and continues to

lead all product sales at AGLA.

According to James A. Mallon, President and CEO, the success of Quality of Life...Insurance is a game-changer for the

industry, helping consumers and Main Street small business owners re-evaluate how they think about, purchase, and

use life insurance.

"This continues to be an anxious time for Americans with more to consider about how they're going to face life's many

challenges and remain financially stable," says Mallon. "We've been listening and 'Quality of Life...Insurance' is a direct

response to those concerns.

The fact that we have seen such tremendous success in this short time, especially given the economic climate, tells us

that the product we're delivering is exactly what the public has been asking for."

variety of product choices -- all of which include No-Cost Accelerated Benefit Riders that may be used in the event of

chronic, critical, and/or terminal illnesses or conditions. Quality of Life...Insurance can be tailored to fit the specific needs

encountered during different life stages.

Terry Keiper, Senior Vice President - Consumer Solutions at AGLA, also believes today's economic times are perfect for a

product such as Quality of Life...Insurance. "With the economic and political climate being what it is, Americans are as

nervous as they've ever been about ways to afford care for themselves and loved ones in the event of premature death,

critical or long term chronic illness, injury, job loss, or one of hundreds of other unexpected life events," Keiper says.

"AGLA is committed to providing affordable, innovative life insurance products to its customers to ease that burden.

Quality of Life... Insurance is designed with consumers and Main Street small business owners in mind."
