Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements or Understandings with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

In connection with the Merger, CapGen LP, in its capacity as a shareholder, entered into a Voting Agreement with Xenith and the Issuer (the "Voting Agreement"). Certain terms of the Voting Agreement apply to CapGen LP's investment in the Common Stock. During the 60 days following the effective time of the Merger (the "Lock-Up Period"), CapGen LP may not, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, which the Issuer may withhold in its sole discretion, (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of any shares of Common Stock; (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar arrangement or agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of Common Stock, regardless of whether any such transaction would be settled in securities, in cash or otherwise; or (iii) publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to the distribution of Common Stock by CapGen LP to any of its affiliates, limited partners or other investors for no consideration who agree in writing to be bound by the obligations and restrictions set forth in the Voting Agreement. CapGen also agreed that, during the Lock-Up Period, it will not, and that it will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent any affiliate from, directly or indirectly taking any action to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Union, including with respect to any security of Union to facilitate a sale of Common Stock following the Merger.

In addition, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Issuer will, and CapGen LP may, at its option, enter into by no later than 30 days following the Merger a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") among the Issuer, CapGen LP and certain other shareholders of the Issuer who have entered into a voting agreement with the Issuer that is substantially identical to and of even date with the Voting Agreement (collectively, the "Institutional Shareholders"). The Registration Rights Agreement shall apply to up to all shares of Common Stock which the Institutional Shareholders, as of the Merger, own or have the right to receive pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement (the "Registrable Securities").

The Registration Rights Agreement will contain customary terms and conditions, including, but not limited to the following: (a) an obligation of the Issuer, upon the request of any of the Institutional Shareholders, at any time on and after the 20th business day prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, to prepare and file a shelf registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (the "Registration Statement"), and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective for 12 months following the effective date of the Registration Statement (such period, the "Registration Period"); (b) demand rights for underwritten offerings of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, which rights may be exercised one time by each Institutional Shareholder during the Registration Period upon the request of such Institutional Shareholder; (c) lockup provisions; (d) Issuer-initiated blackout periods; and (e) indemnification. The foregoing provisions to be included in the Registration Rights Agreement will not prohibit or restrict CapGen LP from making a distribution of Registrable Securities at any time following the Lock-Up Period to any of its limited partners or other investors for no consideration. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide for the following: (x) all expenses of any registration and Registration Statement described in clause (a) above and in connection with any underwritten offering described in clause (b) above, including in both cases attorneys' fees, will be borne by the Issuer; provided, however, that the Issuer will have no obligation with respect to any discounts, selling commissions, or stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities; (y) sales of Registrable Securities will be conditioned such that any purchaser thereof (other than an underwriter or any investment bank or broker executing a block trade) will not own more than 4.9% of the total Common Stock outstanding at the time of such sale; and (z) the Issuer will provide commercially reasonable assistance with any underwritten offering or unregistered block trades of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, making senior officers and representatives available for investor and diligence meetings and calls, provided the Issuer is given reasonable notice of such meetings and calls and such meetings and calls are conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the Issuer's business.

The foregoing references to and descriptions of the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Voting Agreement, which is incorporated by reference to this Item 6.
