special meeting prior thereto called for such purpose.

(1) These options to purchase the UBS's Common Stock at $8.54 per share were
issued in December 1998 to replace options that expired in 1998. The
options have a five year term.
Dr. Emma C. Chappell, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Bank and UBS since its formation, receives a minimum annual salary of
$150,000. A copy of the employment agreement entered into among Dr. Chappell,
the Bank and UBS is incorporated herein by reference.
One hundred thousand shares of the Bank's Common Stock are subject to a Long
Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") under which options to purchase
the Bank's Common Stock may be granted to key employees of a price not less than
the fair market value thereof at the date of the grant ("Options"), and Common
Stock may be awarded as Restricted Stock, subject for a period of time to
substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on disposition as determined by
the Compensation Committee as of the date of the grant ("Restricted Stock").
Pursuant to the Plan, options are granted in tandem with Stock Appreciation
Rights allowing the holder of an Option to surrender the Option and receive an
amount equal to the appreciation in market value of a fixed number of shares of
Common Stock from the date of the grant of the Option ("SARs"). SARs may be
payable in Common Stock or cash or a combination of both. The Plan also allows
the Compensation Committee to grant Performance Shares, which are contingent
rights to receive, when certain performance criteria have been attained, amounts
of Common Stock and cash determined by the Compensation Committee for such an
award. Such rights are subject to forfeiture or reduction if performance goals
specified are not met during the performance period. No such options, restricted
stock or SARs were granted for 1998 performance.
No deferred compensation, incentive compensation or any further
compensation pursuant to any plan has been paid by the Bank, or will be paid by
the Bank based on services rendered to the Bank to the date of this filing.

<PAGE>
At its annual meeting held May 6, 1994, the shareholders of the UBS approved
the establishment of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ESOP has not
been formally activated by the UBS. No purchases have been made pursuant to the
ESOP.
Directors of the Bank are compensated for each meeting attended in the
amount of three hundred dollars fifty ($350) per Board meeting attended and one
hundred fifty dollars ($150) for each committee meeting attended. Directors who
are also salaried officers of the Bank receive no remuneration for their
services as Directors. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Bank paid
Directors' fees to its "non-interested" Directors totaling $39,100. UBS has paid
no director fees since its inception.
2. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.
The Board of Directors has selected Grant Thornton LLP as independent
auditors to audit and certify consolidated financial statements of UBS for the
year ending December 31, 1998 and to provide certain accounting services to UBS
during 1998. Grant Thornton LLP has served in this capacity since October, 1997.
A representative of Grant Thornton LLP will be present at the meeting if
requested by a shareholder (either by telephone or in writing) in advance of the
meeting. Such requests should be directed to the Secretary of UBS.
REQUIRED VOTE
An affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of UBS represented at
the meeting will be required to ratify this appointment. The Board of
Directors recommends a vote for this proposal.
3. RATIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENT OF CLASS OF
NON-VOTING COMMON STOCK.
On September 30, 1998 the Articles of Incorporation of UBS were amended,
by filing of Articles of Amendment with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on
September 30, 1998. Of the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, 250,000
have been designated Class B Common Stock. As of March 31, 1999, 166,666 shares
of Class B Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
