SECTION 6.23. FORMATION OF NEW OPERATING ENTITY. On or prior to November

wholly-owned subsidiary ("Newco") that will be entirely responsible for
Borrower's existing and future business operated under managed care contracts
(including, without limitation, the agreements with Black & Xxxxxx and
Motorola), and whose business activities will initially be limited to such
matters. In connection with the formation and commencement of Newco's
operations, Lender or one of its Affiliates selected by Lender shall be granted
a warrant to acquire five percent (5%) of the outstanding common stock of Newco
for nominal consideration (the "Newco Warrant"). The Newco Warrant will be
issued no later than November 30, 1996, and will (i) contain customary
anti-dilution provisions in respect of stock dividends, additional share
issuance at less than fair market value, stock splits, combinations of shares,
recaptalizations and other such events, (ii) provide for piggyback registration
rights in favor of the holder subject to customary "cutback" provisions, and
(iii) provide for the right, commencing six months after the date of issuance of
the Newco Warrant, to sell to Newco or Universal the stock subject to the Newco
Warrant based on an appraised value of Newco determined by a Big 6 accounting
firm or other appraiser selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion and
reasonably acceptable to Universal and Newco (and the costs of whom shall be
shared by Lender and Borrower). Certain key officers of Newco will also be
granted warrants to acquire Newco's common stock. Upon its formation or
designation, Newco will execute an amendment to the
4
Loan Agreement and such other documents deemed appropriate by Lender to add
Newco as an additional Borrower for all purposes of the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, with the amendment to provide that Newco's books
and records will be audited separately by an accounting firm that is

a warrant to acquire Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand (375,000) shares of
Universal's common stock, at an exercise price per share equal to the lowest
closing bid price for such common stock during the 30-day period immediately
preceding the issuance of such warrant. The warrant to be issued by Universal
shall contain customary terms that are no less favorable to Lender than the
terms of the existing private warrants previously issued by Universal.
1.09. A new Section 6.25 of the Loan Agreement is hereby added to read
as follows:
SECTION 6.25. RE-COMPOSITION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
No later than January 31, 1997, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx shall have
