CUSIP NO. 903441103 SCHEDULE 13D Page 10 of 13 Item 4. Purpose of Transaction - ------------------------------- The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer. Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations. Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer. Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer - --------------------------------------------- (a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 2006, there were 50,477,648 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 5, 2006. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 1,499,000 shares of Common Stock held by Blum L.P. and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum L.P. serves as the general partner, or on behalf of an entity for which Blum L.P. serves as investment advisor, which represents 3.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 1,847,442 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 3.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 139,300 shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 0.3% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iv) 47,300 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. ("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and 47,300 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("Virginia Electric"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with CUSIP NO. 903441103 SCHEDULE 13D Page 11 of 13 respect to which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. Each Investment Advisory Client has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum L.P., but neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own account. Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum L.P., Blum GP III and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,580,342 shares of the Common Stock, which is 7.1% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III or Saddlepoint GP. c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons purchased the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------ ---------- -------- ------------ Investment partnerships for 01-25-06 1,100 19.9089 which Blum L.P. serves as the 01-27-06 5,400 19.8999 general partner and on behalf 01-30-06 1,900 20.3025 of an entity for which Blum L.P. 03-06-06 659,600 21.2500 serves as investment advisor. 03-07-06 416,300 21.2500 Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------ ---------- -------- ---------- For Blum Strategic III for 01-25-06 9,644 19.9089 which Blum GP III LP 01-27-06 42,900 19.8999 serves as the general partner 01-30-06 15,356 20.3025 and for Blum GP III which 03-06-06 1,267,000 21.2500 serves as the general 03-06-06 1,342 21.4882 partner for Blum GP III LP. 03-07-06 8,000 21.2500 Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------ ---------- ------- ---------- The partnership for which 01-25-06 300 19.9089 Saddlepoint GP serves as 01-27-06 1,300 19.8999 general partner. 01-30-06 500 20.3025 03-06-06 33,800 21.2500 03-07-06 45,700 21.2500 CUSIP NO. 903441103 SCHEDULE 13D Page 12 of 13 Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------ ---------- ------ ------------ The Investment Advisory 01-27-06 400 19.8999 Clients for which Blum L.P. 01-30-06 200 20.3025 serves as investment advisor. 03-06-06 39,600 21.2500 03-07-06 30,000 21.2500 (d) and (e) Not applicable.
