The undersigned, Dennis J. McDonnell ("DJM"), Kathleen A. McDonnell ("KAM") and

         The principal business of the Trust is the acquisition of securities

(d)      Neither DJM, KAM nor the Trust has, during the last five years, been

(e)      Neither DJM, KAM nor the Trust has, during the last five years, been

                                       5



<PAGE>

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The shares of Union Common Stock previously acquired by DJM and KAM are
held for investment purposes. The shares of Union Common Stock previously
acquired by the Trust are held for investment purposes and to facilitate the
estate planning needs of DJM. The shares of Union Common Stock subject to this
Amendment and acquired by the Trust at the direction of DJM were acquired for
investment purposes and to facilitate the estate planning needs of DJM.

         Although the Reporting Persons have not formulated any definitive
plans, they may from time to time acquire, or dispose of, common stock and/or
other securities of the Company if and when they deem it appropriate. The
Reporting Persons may formulate other purposes, plans or proposals relating to
any of such securities of the Company to the extent deemed advisable in light of
market conditions, investment policies and other factors. Except as indicated in
this Amendment, the Reporting Persons have no current plans or proposals which
would relate to or would result in any of the matters described in subparagraphs
(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OR ISSUER.

(a)      Between August 7, 2000 and August 18, 2000, DJM caused the Trust to
purchase 48,700 shares of Union Common Stock at an average price of $10.09,
and which collectively, represent (1.23%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of Union Common Stock and which acquisition is the subject of this
Amendment. In addition, the Trust also owns 50,400 shares of the issued and
outstanding shares of Union Common Stock which was reported by it in a prior
Schedule 13D filing and which collectively represents 1.24% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Union Common Stock. In addition, DJM and KAM jointly
own 355,288 shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Union Common Stock
which was reported by them in a prior Schedule 13D filing and which

Common Stock. In aggregate, the Reporting Persons own a total of 454,388
shares of Union Common Stock representing, collectively, 11.47% of the issued

The number of shares of Union Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons and reported in this Amendment does not include 1,381 shares of the
Company's Convertible Preferred Stock owned jointly by DJM and KAM.

(b)      Because of their joint ownership of 355,288 shares, DJM and KAM may
         each be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to
         such 355,288 shares of Union Common Stock. In addition, because he is
         the sole Trustee of the Trust, DJM and the Trust may each be deemed to
         share voting and dispositive power with respect to the 99,100 shares of
         Union Common Stock owned by the Trust, which includes the 48,700 shares
         of Union Common stock which are the subject of this Amendment.
