Walker), and would have shared power over the voting and disposition of such shares. UPL would beneficially own 12,514,011 shares of Common Stock, representing 6.1% of the Common Stock, and would have shared power over the voting and disposition of such shares.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With ------------------------------------------------------------- Respect to Securities of the Issuer. ----------------------------------- Item 6 of the Schedule 13D as originally filed is hereby amended by adding thereto the following: On June 5, 2001, UPL and PRL entered into a stock purchase agreement with Jay S. Walker and The Jay S. Walker Irrevocable Credit Trust (the "New Stock Purchase Agreement"), which provides for the purchase of 18,221,686 and 6,806,337 shares of Common Stock from Jay S. Walker and The Jay S. Walker Irrevocable Credit Trust, respectively, at a price of US$4.37 per share. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the New Stock Purchase Agreement, UPL and PRL will purchase a total of 25,028,023 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of US$109,372,460.51. The completion of the purchase is subject to certain conditions, including filings and clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Concurrently with entering into the New Stock Purchase Agreement, UPL, PRL, FEL, PPG and the Issuer entered into a stockholders' agreement, dated as of June 5, 2001 (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), pursuant to which certain provisions of the Issuer Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were amended. The amendments are to take effect at the closing under the New Stock Purchase Agreement, and they are as follows: UPL, PRL, FEL and PPG are entitled to designate three nominees (including the designee of FEL elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors pursuant to the Issuer Stock Purchase Agreement) to the Issuer's Board of Directors so long as they own beneficially at least 20% of the 206,433,004 shares of Common Stock (representing shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 31, 2001 plus shares upon the exercise of certain options by Jay S. Walker), subject to adjustment for stock splits or combination of shares and dividends of Common Stock issued pro rata to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration. UPL, PRL, FEL and PPG are entitled to designate only two nominees or one nominee to the Issuer's Board of Directors if collectively their beneficial ownership in the Issuer is less than 20% but at least 10% or less than 10% but at least 5%, respectively, of the 206,433,004 shares of Common Stock, subject to same adjustments as referred to above. Without the prior written consent of the Issuer's Board of Directors, and subject to certain other exceptions, UPL, PRL, FEL and PPG will not (and will cause their affiliates not to) acquire or propose to acquire additional securities which would result in they and their affiliates owning more than 32.5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis, or take or propose to take certain actions, including a merger or other business combination involving the Issuer, a purchase of a material portion of the Issuer's assets, a proxy contest, a voting arrangement or a tender or exchange offer, which could relate to a potential change of control of the Issuer. The Registration Rights Agreement is amended to include UPL and PRL as parties to the agreement. UPL and PRL are also granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights for their newly purchased shares of Common Stock, exercisable at any time after the closing under the New Stock Purchase Agreement, except in certain circumstances. The descriptions of the New Stock Purchase Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement contained herein are subject, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the New Stock Purchase Agreement and the Stockholders' Agreement, each of which has been made an exhibit to this amendment and is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 6.

All covenants shall survive in accordance with their own terms. All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate executed and delivered by the parties pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be representations, warranties and covenants by such party hereunder. No claim may be commenced under this Section 9.1 (or otherwise) following expiration of the applicable period of survival, and upon such expiration the Indemnifying Party shall be released from all liability with respect to claims under each such section not theretofore made by the Indemnifying Party. No right of indemnity against any claim of a third party shall arise from any representation, warranty or covenant of an Indemnifying Party herein contained, unless such third party claim is filed or lodged against the Indemnified Party on or prior 10 to the expiration of the applicable period of survival provided above, and all other conditions hereunder are satisfied. A claim shall be made or commenced hereunder by the Indemnified Party delivering to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the amount claimed (if known or reasonably estimable), and the factual basis for the claim. (b) (i) Each Seller, separately and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on an after-Tax basis, each of the Purchasers and its partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents and each of their affiliates and each other person controlling such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within the meaning of either section 15 of the Securities Act or section 20 of the Exchange Act and any partner of any of them from and against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities resulting from any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding by any person to which any party indemnified under this clause may become subject which is related to or arises out of any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 of this Agreement by such Seller and will reimburse each of the Purchasers and any other party indemnified under this clause for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by each Purchaser or any such other party indemnified under this clause and further agrees that the indemnification and reimbursements commitments herein shall apply whether or not such Purchaser or any such other party indemnified under this clause is a formal party to any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The foregoing provisions are expressly intended to cover reimbursement of legal and other expenses incurred in a deposition or other discovery proceeding. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), such Seller shall not be liable to any party otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant thereto: (A) in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent the same is determined, in final judgment by a court having jurisdiction, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party or (B) for any settlement effected by such party without the written consent of such Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (c) If a person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") asserts that any party hereto (the "Indemnifying Party") ----------------- ------------------ has become obligated to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.1(b), or if any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the Indemnifying Party may become obligated to the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnified Party agrees to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly and to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to the extent reasonably necessary for the resolution of such claim or in the defense of such suit, action or proceeding, including making available any information, documents and things in the possession of the Indemnified Party which are reasonably necessary therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing notice requirement, the right to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any failure to give, or delay in giving, notice unless, and only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay. 11 (d) In fulfilling its obligations under this Section 9.1, after providing each Indemnified Party with a written acknowledgment of any liability under this Section 9.1 as between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to investigate, defend, settle or otherwise handle, with the aforesaid cooperation, any claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a third party in such manner as the Indemnifying Party may in its sole discretion deem appropriate; provided, however, that (i) counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to any settlement imposing any obligations on any other party hereto, unless such party has consented in writing to such settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party may retain one firm of counsel to represent all Indemnified Parties in such claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that in the event that the defendants in, or targets of, any such claim, action or proceeding include more than one Indemnified Party, and any Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the opinion of its own counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are in conflict with those available to any other Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it or any other person entitled to indemnification and reimbursement hereunder with respect to any such claim, action or proceeding in which it or such other person may become involved or is named as defendant and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursement of such counsel. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party's election to assume the defense or investigation of such claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and to direct the defense or investigation of such claim, action or proceeding if (A) in the written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, use of counsel of the Indemnifying Party's choice could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, or (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time (as determined in the light of the facts and circumstances surrounding such event), but in no event shall such time exceed twenty (20) Business Days, after notice of the assertion of any such claim or institution of any such action or proceeding. In all other situations, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense or investigation of such claim, action or proceeding if the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party's expense or if the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. (e) If for any reason (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct referred to in subclause (b)(ii) above) the foregoing indemnification by a Seller is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold it harmless as and to the extent contemplated by subclauses (b), (c) and (d) above, then such Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchasers and any other applicable Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other hand, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
