Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, until January 31, 2003, the
Fund has agreed to make one or more loans to the Company in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000, the proceeds of which are to be
funded directly into an escrow account. The Company's obligation to repay is
evidenced by a promissory note in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$10,000,000 at an initial interest rate of 10% (the "Note").
The Warrant, delivered to the Company on June 20, 2002, gives
the Fund the right to purchase 7,500,000 validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the Warrant and the exercise price are subject to
anti-dilution adjustments. The Warrant may be exercised immediately, in whole or
in part, at any time and from time to time until June 10, 2007 (the "Exercise
Period").
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company also issued to
the Fund an additional warrant, dated June 10, 2002, and delivered on June 20,
2002 (the "Clawback Warrant"). The Clawback Warrant gives the Fund the right to
purchase an additional 7,500,000 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable

Warrant may only be exercised during the period beginning on June 10, 2004 and
ending on June 10, 2007. The number of Clawback Warrant Shares is subject to
reduction if the Company repays all or a portion of the loans before specified
time periods. The Clawback Warrant expires in 18 months if all was hereby repaid
by sell date. The number of shares of Common Stock
CUSIP No. 91851C201 10
subject to the Clawback Warrant and the excise price are subject to
anit-dilution adjustments.
The Credit Agreement provides that if, by the second
anniversary of the first funding under the Credit Agreement, all the loans have
not been repaid in full, the Company will issue to the Fund a warrant (the
"Additional Warrant") giving the Fund the right to purchase 7,500,000 validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock, at an excise
price of $0.10 per share subject to adjustments. The Additional Warrant will
expire 7 years after the date of issuance. The number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the Additional Warrant are subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
The foregoing summaries of the Credit Agreement, the Note, the
Warrant, the Clawback Warrant and Additional Warrant are qualified in their
entirety by reference to Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4 which are incorporated herein by
reference.
