This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Schedule 14D-9 originally filed under cover of Schedule 14D-9 on June 10, 2010 and subsequently amended on June 29, 2010, July 12, 2010, July 14, 2010, and August 3, 2010 (the “Schedule 14D-9”) by Life Quotes, an Illinois corporation (“LQ”). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9.

The information in the Schedule 14D-9, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all the items of this Schedule 14D, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided herein.

Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated by reference into this Amendment.

The items of the Schedule 14D-9 set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

(1) “On August 13, 2010, LQ announced that LQ Acquisition completed the Offer. The offering period expired at `12:00 midnight, New York City time on August 12, 2010. A total of approximately 4,666,256 Shares were validly tendered in the Offer, representing approximately 68% of the outstanding Shares. Together with the approximately 30% of the Shares already held by LQ Acquisition Inc., LQ Acquisition Inc. now holds a total of approximately 6,774,301 Shares or 98% of the 6,911,791 Shares. LQ Acquisition Inc. has accepted for payment all tendered Shares.

LQ Acquisition, Inc., or one of its affiliates, will promptly acquire the remaining publicly held Shares through a short-form merger under Delaware law with the completion of the merger anticipated to occur on or about August 13, 2010. As a result of the merger, any remaining Shares will be cancelled pursuant to the merger consideration for the same offer price of $4.00 cash paid in the Offer, without interest and less any required withholding taxes (other than Shares for which appraisal rights are validly exercised under Delaware law).”

The press release announcing the results of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(U).
