Date:		Friday, June 8, 2007
To:		Universal Employees Worldwide
From:		Executive Leadership Team
Subject:		MERGER ORGANIZATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT

On Monday, June 4, we announced the name of our new, to be merged organization, Exterran, and we began the detailed merger planning phase. On Tuesday, June 5, we completed the initial Merger Integration Planning Team Kick-Off meeting. Each of the Hanover and Universal organizations were well represented by leadership personnel from both organizations. The energy, enthusiasm and collaboration from those who attended was inspiring. Based on our kickoff experience, we are confident in our ability to continue the planning required for integration and even more excited and optimistic about the future for Exterran. We appreciate the work of all of the companies’ leadership and personnel this week both in this initial meeting and in the field and offices around the world to keep focus on our core business.

Now we are pleased to announce the Exterran management positions and personnel that will report to the Executive Leadership Team once the transaction officially closes. Over the past weeks, we have been working on an organizational structure that builds on the successes of both the Hanover and Universal organizations (see pages that follow). This rigorous organization design process has included input from the executive leadership of both companies, as well as advice from our merger consultant, McKinsey and Company. The organizational design process was followed by a disciplined personnel selection process that included identification of personnel in both organizations, interviews and, again, collaboration of the executive leadership of both companies. The group of leaders we are announcing today, and those supporting them, will be critical in creating the high performance organization we know Exterran can be.

Please join us in congratulating all of these leaders on their prospective positions with Exterran and supporting their work and efforts as they build their organizations through the integration planning process.

Over the next few months, an incredible volume of work must be accomplished. The Exterran Leadership Team is committed to a personnel selection process that continues to build upon the achievements and capabilities of both Hanover and Universal, and that is fair to the

employees in both organizations. Based on what we have experienced in working with personnel from both organizations so far, we are confident that we will achieve this objective.

One of the first integration planning steps for these leaders will be to propose how their groups will be structured to achieve our new company’s overall vision and to follow an agreed selection process for their respective teams. This process will be rigorous and fact-based with equal opportunity for potential candidates in both companies. If you believe that there is a position or department that you are interested in and would like to be considered, please contact your HR representative so they can inform the appropriate departments of your desires.

We continue to make progress with the regulatory process and anticipate a successful close but, like the majority of mergers at this stage of the process, do not yet know the exact date when we will become one company, Exterran. As we have repeatedly emphasized, until the proposed transaction officially closes, Universal and Hanover must continue to compete vigorously. Our customers expect that, and the antitrust laws demand it.

It is critical for us to stay focused on our day-to-day business and to continue to operate as independent companies. Both Hanover and Universal have a history of success. Much of our success is due to your efforts.

Thank you.
