CUSIP NO. 91851C201

The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

In connection with the execution of the Settlement Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below) by certain of the Reporting Persons, the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement was immediately terminated pursuant to its terms as of December 22, 2015. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons shall no longer be members of a Section 13(d) group and Group 42 and Messrs. Bell, Dickerson, Keane and Schechter shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 4. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing as a group statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Shares purchased by BLR Partners and Radoff Foundation were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,090,400 Shares owned directly by BLR Partners is approximately $4,433,780 including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 85,000 Shares owned directly by Radoff Foundation is approximately $158,287, including brokerage commissions.

The Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,938,905 Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff is approximately $4,302,478, including brokerage commissions.

The 2,499,692 Shares purchased by Group 42 were purchased with working capital of Group 42 (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,499,692 Shares beneficially owned by Group 42 is approximately $5,696,705, excluding brokerage commissions.

The 53,000 Shares purchased by Mr. Schechter were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases. The aggregate purchase price of the 53,000 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Schechter, including the 3,000 Shares directly owned by his spouse, is approximately $77,977, excluding brokerage commissions.

The 11,613 Shares owned by Mr. Keane were granted to him by the Issuer due to his appointment as a director. Since the Shares were granted to Mr. Keane by the Issuer, the aggregate purchase price of the 11,613 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Keane is $0.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On December 22, 2015, certain of the Reporting Persons (the “Group 42-BLR Group”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (i) James B. Jennings and O. Donaldson Chapoton will retire from the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) effective upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement, (ii) Michael Keane, a designee of the Group 42-BLR Group will be appointed to the Board effective upon the execution of the Settlement Agreement and will be appointed to each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee, (iii) the Board will nominate an independent, mutually-agreed upon designee (the “Mutual Designee”) for election at the Issuer’s 2016 Annual Meeting, (iv) the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer shall be separated and Andrew L.

CUSIP NO. 91851C201

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Group 42-BLR Group agreed to withdraw their consent solicitation and, until the Settlement Agreement is terminated, vote in favor of (i) the election of each director nominated by the Board, and (ii) in accordance with the Board’s recommendations with respect to any other proposal to be submitted at a meeting of stockholders, unless Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) recommends otherwise, in which case the Group 42-BLR Group may vote in accordance with ISS’ recommendations. In addition, the Group 42-BLR Group agreed to certain customary standstill restrictions, except that Group 42 will be allowed to increase its share ownership up to a total of 6.5% and the BLR Group up to a total of 8.5% of the outstanding Shares. Under the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Keane (or any replacement designee) shall resign as a director in the event the Group 42-BLR Group fails to maintain beneficial ownership of at least 5% of the outstanding Shares or upon the termination of the Settlement Agreement.
