Each Seller agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Purchaser by such Seller not materially misleading.

Each Seller has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Purchaser and has received satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. (g) NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT. The terms of this Agreement were the result of negotiations between Sellers and the Purchaser, and such party was given the opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed terms of this Agreement. (h) DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. Such party has received a copy of the Disclosure Statement. SECTION 6. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. (a) CONDITIONS TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASER.

In the event any UGC Shares are included in a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement: (a) to the extent permitted by law, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, the officers and directors of each Seller and each person, if any, who controls each Seller (such persons and entities referred to as "Seller Indemnified Parties"), against any losses, expenses, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or other federal or state securities laws (a "Loss"), insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of any claim, action or proceeding brought by a third party arising out of or based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Shelf Registration Statement under which the UGC Shares were registered; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Shelf Registration Statement under which the UGC Shares were registered a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or 6 (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Purchaser of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law, in each case in connection with the offering covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; and the Purchaser will reimburse each Seller Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such Violation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, nor shall the Purchaser be liable in any such case for any such Loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement by each Seller Indemnified Party; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that the Purchaser will not be liable for the reasonable legal fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all of the Seller Indemnified Parties. (b) to the extent permitted by law, each Seller will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Shelf Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (such persons and entities referred to as "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") against any Losses to which such Purchaser Indemnified Parties may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities laws, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by each Seller expressly for use in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement; and each Seller will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such Violation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of each Seller; PROVIDED FURTHER, that each Seller shall not be liable for the reasonable legal fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by each Seller under this subsection in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the proceeds received by each Seller in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises. (c) promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement of such an action and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, 7 jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the indemnified parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section to the extent such delay caused material prejudice to the indemnified party, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. (d) the foregoing indemnity agreements of the Purchaser and Sellers are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission") at the time the Shelf Registration Statement in question becomes effective or in the amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Commission (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreements shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished in a timely manner to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act. (e) the obligations of the Purchaser and the Sellers under this Section shall survive the completion of any offering of UGC Shares in a Shelf Registration Statement, and otherwise. SECTION 8. TERMINATION OF LETTER AGREEMENT. Upon execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, all rights and obligations of the parties under the Letter Agreement shall be terminated. SECTION 9. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as required by law (including the Purchaser's disclosure obligations under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any disclosures required to be made in connection with the restructuring of UPC), the Purchaser and the Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their representatives, agree to keep strictly confidential all terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. SECTION 10. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other parties hereto would be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with 8 their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall have been determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or as a result of binding arbitration, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, the other provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect, and such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 12. TIMING. Each of the parties hereto agrees that time shall be of the essence for all purposes of this Agreement. SECTION 13. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

To the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
