WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2(f) of the Certificate of Designation regarding the Preferred Stock, in the event that United shall issue or sell shares of common stock at a price less than the current exercise price of the Preferred Stock, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock shall be reduced to such lower price;

WHEREAS, Sherleigh has agreed to waive the provision of Section 9 of the Sherleigh Warrants soley with respect to the increase of the number of Sherleigh Warrant Shares, based on the formula as set forth in such Section that would otherwise apply as a result of the issuance of the New Warrants and the Note, and as a result of the reduction of the exercise price of the Wilen Option .
