Item 1.01

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 27, 2013, Universal Truckload Services, Inc. (“Universal” or the “Company”) entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) among Universal, Hiberis International Corp. (“Seller”), SM International Holdings (“SMI”) and SM Brasil Participações, S.A. (“SMB” and, together with SMI, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to which Universal will purchase from Seller (the “Acquisition”) all of the membership interests of Westport USA Holding, LLC (“Westport Holding”). Westport Holding is the sole shareholder of Westport Axle Corp. (“Westport”). Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Westport provides value-added warehousing and component distribution services to U.S. manufacturers of Class 4-8 trucks, RVs and super-duty trucks, and also machines and distributes steering knuckles and axle components for the automotive industry.

The cash purchase price payable by Universal under the Agreement is $123 million, on a debt-free, cash-free basis, subject to a purchase price adjustment after closing. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnities for a transaction of this type, including covenants which relate to the operation of the Westport business during the period between signing and closing and the execution of a supply agreement between Westport and Sifco S.A., a Brazilian affiliate of the Seller, that provides for purchase of forged parts used by Westport to supply U.S. customers. The Guarantors guarantee Seller’s performance obligations in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Agreement.

The closing of the Acquisition is subject to various closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), as well as other customary closing conditions. Universal intends to partly fund the Acquisition pursuant to the Company’s senior credit facility, which is expected to be increased to $300 million from $220 million. Universal’s obligation to close the Acquisition is not subject to a financing condition. The Agreement may be terminated by the mutual consent of Universal and Seller, and under certain other circumstances, including if the closing of the Acquisition has not occurred by March 31, 2014.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto. The Agreement is included to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or the other parties thereto. The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants (a) that have been made only for the purposes of the Agreement, (b) are qualified by information in disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Agreement, (c) are subject to materiality qualifications in the Agreement that may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors and shareholders, (d) were made only as of the date of the Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Agreement and (e) have been included in the Agreement for the purposes of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding the terms of the Agreement, and not to provide investors and shareholders with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, or Seller, Guarantor or Westport or their respective businesses. Accordingly, investors and shareholders should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company, Seller, Guarantors, Westport or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company that is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and the other documents that the Company files with the SEC.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements, including the expected timing and expected financing of the Acquisition. Such statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include risks related to, among other things, obtaining regulatory approval of or non-objection to the Acquisition; the potential impact on the business due to uncertainty about the Acquisition; the retention of Westport employees and the ability of Universal to successfully integrate operations; the possibility that various closing conditions for the transaction may not be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction; the effects of disruption from the

transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, other business partners or governmental entities for both parties; other business transaction costs; actual or contingent liabilities of the acquired business; the inability to predict the future success or market acceptance of the acquired business; and other risks described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s judgment as of the date hereof. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

(v) the Arbitrator shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based upon the provisions of this Section 2.3(c), only the Disputed Amounts and the determination of each amount of the Disputed Amounts shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(a).

All of the agreements and covenants of Purchaser to be performed prior to the Closing pursuant to this Agreement shall have been duly performed in all material respects, provided, that, with respect to agreements and covenants that are qualified by materiality, Purchaser shall have performed such agreements and conditions, as so qualified, in all respects.

(b) Representations and Warranties. (i) Each of the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Section 4.1(a) (Due Organization; Corporate Power) and Section 4.2 (Authorization) shall be true and correct at and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) each of the other representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct (without giving effect to any “material”, “materially”, “materiality”, “material adverse effect”, or “material adverse change” or other qualification based on materiality contained in any such representation or warranty) at and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties refer specifically to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct (without giving effect to any “material”, “materially”, “materiality”, “material adverse effect”, or “material adverse change” or other qualification based on materiality contained in any such representation or warranty) as of such earlier date, except, in each case under this clause (ii), as would not have a material adverse effect.

(c) Closing Deliverables. Purchaser shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Seller the items set forth in Section 2.4(c).

Section 6.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. None of Purchaser or Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VI to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or such party’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur as required by Section 5.4; Section 5.5 and Section 5.18.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS

Section 7.1 Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a) After the Closing, Seller shall have the obligation and authority to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Returns to be filed by or with respect to the income, assets, properties, and operations of the Company and its Subsidiary or any successor thereto for all Pre-Closing Periods that end on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay all Taxes reflected on such Returns at least five days prior to the due date of such Returns (taking into account any valid extensions obtained by Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable). Purchaser or the Company shall have the obligation and authority to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all other Returns to be filed by or with respect to the income, assets, properties, and operations of the Company and its Subsidiary or any successor thereto for all Overlap Periods and all Post-Closing Periods. To the extent that any such Return to be prepared and filed by Purchaser or the Company relates to an Overlap Period, Purchaser or the Company shall prepare such Return in accordance with past practices of the Company and its Subsidiary (unless otherwise required by applicable Laws), and will submit (with copies of any relevant schedules, work papers, and other documentation then available) such Return to Seller

for Seller’s approval not less than sixty (60) days prior to the due date for the filing of such Return (including extensions). Seller shall have the option of providing to Purchaser, at any time at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Return is due to be filed (taking into account any valid extensions), written instructions as to how Seller wants any, or all, of the items that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which it may be liable reflected on such Return. Purchaser or the Company shall, in preparing such Return, cause the items for which Seller is liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with Seller’s instructions.

(b) The preparation and filing of any Return of the Company that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Period or an Overlap Period shall be exclusively within the control of Purchaser.

(c) All Taxes and Tax liabilities with respect to the income, property or operations of the Company or its Subsidiary that relate to the Overlap Period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period as follows: (A) in the case of Taxes other than income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, on a per-diem basis, and (B) in the case of income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, as determined from the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiary as though the taxable year of the Company or its Subsidiary terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date.

(d) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall (or shall cause or permit the Company or its Subsidiary to) amend, refile, otherwise modify or take any position inconsistent with, or consent to any settlement or payment involving a Tax Matter with respect to, any Return relating in whole or in part to the Company or its Subsidiary with respect to any Pre-Closing Period or with respect to any Overlap Period, if such amendment, refiling or other modification or consent to any settlement or payment may increase the amount payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 9.2 or otherwise cause a material adverse Tax consequence to Seller, without the written consent of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Return is filed while a Tax Matter relating to Taxes for which the Purchaser Indemnitees might have an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 9.2 is pending, and such Return must be amended as a result of and based upon the resolution of such Tax Matter, Purchaser shall amend such Return solely to reflect the resolution of such Tax Matter and Seller shall not withhold its consent to such amendment.

Section 7.2 Controversies.

(a) Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller upon receipt by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser (including the Company and its Subsidiary after the Closing Date) of written notice of any Tax Matter with respect to Taxes for which Seller may be liable under this Agreement. Seller, at its sole expense, shall have the authority to represent the interests of the Company and its Subsidiary with respect to any Tax Matter with respect to Taxes for which Seller may be liable under this Agreement before any taxing authority or any other Governmental Entity and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, that neither Seller nor

any of its Affiliates shall enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any such Tax Matter that adversely affects or may adversely affect the Tax liability of Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the foregoing for any Post-Closing Period, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or delayed. Seller shall keep Purchaser fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Matter with respect to Taxes for which Seller may be liable under this Agreement. Seller shall, in good faith, allow Purchaser to make comments to Seller, regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2(a), or if Seller does not elect to control a proceeding pursuant to Section 7.2(a), Purchaser shall have the sole right to control any audit or examination by any Tax authority and contest, resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of or relating to, the income, assets or operations of the Company and its Subsidiary for all taxable periods; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary not to, enter into any settlement of any contest or otherwise compromise any issue with respect to the portion of the Overlap Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date that could increase the Tax liability of Seller without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 7.3 Notification. Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiary and their respective Affiliates shall promptly forward to Seller all written notifications and other communications from any Tax authority received by the Company and its Subsidiary relating to any Tax Matter relating to any federal, state, local or foreign income Tax liability of the Company or its Subsidiary with respect to a Pre-Closing Period. The failure of Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates to give Seller such written notice shall excuse Seller from its obligations under Section 9.2 with respect to any increased federal, state, local or foreign income Tax liability directly or indirectly attributable to any such written notification or other communication to the extent that the failure to provide such written notice materially and adversely affected the ability of Seller to contest any claim arising from such Tax Matters.

Section 7.4 Post-Closing Access and Cooperation.

(a) After the Closing Date, Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiary, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall furnish or cause to be delivered to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books, records, work papers and Returns for Pre-Closing Periods) relating to the Company and its Subsidiary as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Return, claim for refund or audit, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed Tax adjustment. Upon reasonable notice, each of Seller and Purchaser shall make its, or shall cause the Company or its Subsidiary, as applicable, to make their, employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to provide reasonable explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder.

(b) Any request for information or documents pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be made by the requesting party in writing. The other party hereto shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the request) provide the requested information. The requesting party shall indemnify the other party for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such party in Section 7.4. Any information obtained under this Section 7.4 shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise reasonably may be necessary in connection with the filing of Returns or claims for refund or in conducting any Tax audit, dispute or contest.

Section 7.5 Refunds. At Seller’s request, the Company and its Subsidiary shall apply for any Tax refund available for any Pre-Closing Period. Seller shall be entitled to any credits and refunds (including any interest respect thereof) with respect to any Pre-Closing Period received by Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiary, and any amounts of overpayments of Tax credited against Tax that Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiary otherwise would be or would have been required to pay and any amount of Taxes that is included in the calculation of Working Capital for such taxable year, to the extent such amount was not paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, and Purchaser shall pay over to Seller any such amounts within fifteen (15) days after the receipt or entitlement of such refund or credit or request to return amounts not paid over to the appropriate taxing authority. With respect to any Overlap Period, Purchaser shall pay Seller within sixty (60) days after the Closing an amount equal to the excess of (a) any estimated Tax payments made by the Company or its Subsidiary on or prior to the Closing Date for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date, over (b) the Tax liability for the Pre-Closing portion of such taxable year (with respect to Taxes for which estimated Tax payments were made) if such taxable year ended on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall pay Seller interest at the rate prescribed under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, compounded daily, on any amount not paid when due under this Section 7.5.

Section 7.6 Elections. From and after the Closing Date, except as required by Law, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary not to, without the prior consent of Seller (which may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold such consent), make, cause or permit to be made any Tax election or adopt or change any method of accounting, in each case that may affect Taxes for any Pre-Closing Period of the Company or its Subsidiary or otherwise affect the liability of Seller.

Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any party of liability for any willful breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a) The (i) respective representations and warranties of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Letter or in any schedule, exhibit or certificate attached hereto or delivered pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.2(e), shall each survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date; except that the Fundamental Representations and the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 3.14 (Tax Matters), Section 3.18 (Environmental Matters), Section 4.1(a) (Due Organization; Corporate Power), Section 4.2(a) (Authorization) and Section 4.6 (Solvency) shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus sixty (60) days. Covenants to be performed after Closing shall survive in accordance with their respective terms.

(b) No Person shall be liable for any claim for indemnification under Article IX unless a Claim Certificate is delivered by the Person seeking indemnification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, in which case the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is the subject of such claim shall survive, to the extent of the claims described in such Claim Certificate only, until such claim is resolved, whether or not the amount of the Losses resulting from such breach has been finally determined at the time the notice is given.

Section 9.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Seller agrees to and shall indemnify Purchaser, the Company and each of their respective Representatives, Subsidiaries, direct and indirect parent companies, shareholders, partners, members, managers, officers and directors (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) and save and hold each of them harmless against any Losses suffered, incurred or paid, directly or indirectly, by them as a result of: (a) any failure of any representation or warranty made by Seller or Guarantors in this Agreement or in any schedule, exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects on and as of the date of this Agreement and on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent made with reference to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date); (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller or Guarantors contained in this Agreement; (c) all Taxes imposed on the Company and its Subsidiary for any Pre-Closing Period, including but not limited to Taxes resulting from any restructuring activities undertaken by Seller or its Affiliates on or before the Closing; (d) those Taxes imposed on Seller or its Affiliates in accordance with Section 5.10; and (e) the matters disclosed in Section 3.22 (Product Liability and Warranty) of the Seller Disclosure Letter; provided, however, that the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be indemnified for any liability for Taxes (i) that were included as a liability in calculating Closing Working Capital or (ii) resulting from transactions or actions taken by Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing.

Section 9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, from and after the Closing, Purchaser agrees to and shall indemnify Seller and its Representatives, Subsidiaries, direct and indirect parent companies, partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, employees and agents and each of the Representatives, Subsidiaries, direct and indirect parent companies, shareholders, partners, members, managers, officers and directors of each of the foregoing (the “Seller Indemnitees”) and save and hold each of them harmless against any Losses suffered, incurred or paid, directly or indirectly, by them as a result of: (a) any failure of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any schedule, exhibit or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects on and as of the date of this Agreement and on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent made with reference to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date); (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Purchaser under this Agreement; and (c) the conduct and operation of the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiary after the Closing.

Section 9.4 Limitation on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.2(e) unless and until the aggregate amount of Qualifying Losses which may be recovered from Seller equals or exceeds $600,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case Seller shall be liable for only the aggregate amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, that (a) Seller shall only be liable for any individual Loss or group of related Losses in excess of $25,000 (such Loss or Losses, a “Qualifying Loss”) and (b) the maximum aggregate amount of Qualifying Losses which may be recovered pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) shall be no greater than $10,000,000. The limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(a) shall not apply to Losses incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee in connection with Section 9.2(c) or (d) or arising from any breach of any Fundamental Representation.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Qualifying Losses which may be recovered from Purchaser equals or exceeds the Deductible, in which case Purchaser shall be liable for only the aggregate amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, that (a) Purchaser shall only be liable for Qualifying Losses and (b) the maximum aggregate amount of Qualifying Losses which may be recovered pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall be no greater than $10,000,000. The limitations set forth in this Section 9.4(b) shall not apply to Losses incurred by any Seller Indemnitee arising from any breach of Section 4.1 (Due Organization; Corporate Power), Section 4.2(a) (Authorization) or Section 4.6 (Solvency).

(c) Any claims for indemnification under Section 9.2 shall be satisfied (i) first, by recouping all of such Losses (subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.4) from the Indemnity Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, subject to the limitations of this Section 9.4, in the event that the Indemnity Escrow Amount is exhausted or no longer available, by recovery directly from Seller. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be no greater than the Final Purchase Price.

(d) With respect to any claim for indemnification relating to a breach (or alleged breach) of a representation or warranty that may only be considered breached if the defect, inaccuracy, mistake or misrepresentation is material, the materiality of such defect, inaccuracy, mistake or misrepresentation will be considered for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation and warranty has occurred, but will not be considered in determining the amount of the Losses arising out of such breach.

Section 9.5 Losses Net of Insurance, Etc.

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.2 shall be net of (i) any specific accruals or reserves on the Financial Statements referenced in Section 3.7, (ii) any amount which has been taken into account as a current liability for purposes of the calculation of the Closing Working Capital, (iii) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, and (iv) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Loss, calculated net of any increase in insurance premiums resulting from the related claims under applicable insurance policies (each source of recovery referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv), a “Collateral Source”). If any indemnity payment under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be, or the event giving rise to such payment results in a U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax benefit to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, then (i) any indemnity amount to be paid under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be, shall be reduced by such Tax benefit actually realized prior to the indemnity payment, and (ii) to the extent such Tax benefit is realized after the indemnity payment is made under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be, the Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses as soon as reasonably practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any event which does, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to any such Losses.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.5(b), indemnification under this Article IX shall not be available unless the Indemnified Party simultaneously uses commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from all Collateral Sources. The Indemnifying Party may require an Indemnified Party to assign the rights to seek recovery pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall then be responsible for pursuing such claim at its own expense. If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be, is determined after payment by, or on the behalf of, the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay, or have paid on its behalf, pursuant to this Article IX had such determination been made at the time of such payment, and any excess recovery from a Collateral Source shall be applied to reduce any future payments to be made by, or on the behalf of, the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be.

Section 9.6 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly after the incurrence of any Losses by any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”) which might give rise to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”), with a copy to the Escrow Agent, which Claim Certificate shall:

(i) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or anticipates it shall incur Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated Liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related (based, in each case, on information then readily available to or ascertainable by the Indemnified Party).

(b) Following its receipt of a Claim Certificate, the Seller shall have thirty (30) days to object to a Claim Certificate by delivering written notice of such objection, including an explanation of the basis for such objection in reasonable detail (an “Objection Notice”) to the Indemnified Party submitting such Claim Certificate at the addresses of such Indemnified Party set forth in such Claim Certificate, with a copy to the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to object, in accordance with this Section 9.6(b), on or before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the 30^th calendar day following the date that the Claim Certificate is deemed to have been provided, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Indemnity Escrow Amount and cause to be delivered to any Indemnified Parties that have previously delivered the Claim Certificate only an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Indemnity Escrow Amount available for distribution and (ii) the aggregate amount to which the Indemnified Party failed to object pursuant to the Objection Notice. In the event the Indemnifying Party objects in accordance with this Section 9.6(b), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the sixty (60) day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such time period, then either the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 11.9. The party that receives a final judgment in such dispute shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable attorney and consultant fees or expenses incurred by the other party.

(c) Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing pursuant to an Objection Notice in accordance with this Section 9.6(b) (other than a Third Party Claim), claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 9.6(b), and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination as described in Section 9.6(b) or shall have been settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, as described in Section 9.7, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim (or at such other time as the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree), the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than two (2) Business Days prior to such payment.

Section 9.7 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a claim by a third party (except a claim related to any Tax Matter governed by Article VII) is made against any Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification hereunder for any Loss under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice under this Agreement shall not affect its rights to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, any third-party claim, action, suit or proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”). The Indemnifying Party may not compromise or settle a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that to the extent the Indemnified Party does not provide such consent, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for amounts in excess of such proposed compromise or settlement. In the event an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article IX hereunder, such Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim hereunder without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to control or conduct the defense or prosecution of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party nevertheless shall have the right to participate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim and, at its own expense, to employ counsel of its own choosing for such purpose; and provided, further, that other than with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(e), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (A) such Third Party Claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; or (B) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party.

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third-Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention and the provision of the

Indemnified Party’s records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that such cooperation shall not unreasonably disrupt the business or operations of any of the parties hereto.

Section 9.8 Sole Remedy/Waiver. Except as set forth in Section 11.11, or in the case of fraud, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Closing occurs, the remedies provided for in this Article IX shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any claims relating to this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, or any other document, certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto.

Section 9.9 Tax Treatment of Payments. All amounts paid by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for all Tax purposes.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY OF SELLER OBLIGATIONS

Section 10.1 Guaranty. To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to Purchaser, due and punctual payment of all sums due and owing by Seller from time to time, if any, and prompt performance and discharge of all obligations (the “Obligations”) of Seller, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement (the “Guaranty”). In furtherance of the foregoing, each Guarantor acknowledges that its liability under this Article X shall extend to the Obligations of Seller and that Purchaser, may, in its sole discretion, bring and prosecute a separate action or actions against each Guarantor for the full payment and performance of such Obligations, regardless of whether (a) an action is brought against Seller or (b) Seller is joined in any such action or actions. The Guaranty may not be revoked or terminated, shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on each Guarantor and his respective successors and assigns until all of the Obligations have been satisfied in full.

Section 10.2 Changes in Obligations; Certain Waivers. Purchaser may from time to time and at any time, without notice to or further consent of Guarantors, extend the time of payment, performance or discharge of any Obligations of Seller, and may also make any agreement with Seller for the payment, compromise, extension, discharge, renewal or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between Purchaser and Seller without in any way impairing or affecting such Obligations, except to the extent of such payment, compromise, extension, discharge, renewal or release. The Obligations of Seller shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which each Guarantor may have at any time against Seller, whether in connection with such Obligations or otherwise; (b) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Seller or its Affiliates; (c) the failure of Purchaser to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Seller; (d) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of Seller; (e) the

adequacy of any other means Purchaser may have of obtaining payment, performance or discharge of any of Seller’s Obligations; or (f) any change in the time, place or manner of payment, performance or discharge of any of Seller’s Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by Purchaser. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of Seller’s Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of Seller’s Obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, any right to require the marshaling of assets of Seller, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect and all suretyship defenses, generally. For greater certainty, Guarantor shall be entitled to claim that Seller does not have the Obligations upon which the Guaranty is being called upon. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Article X are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 10.3 Payments to be held in Trust. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, unless and until all of Seller’s Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash or performed in full, not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire, directly or indirectly, against Seller that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Purchaser against Seller, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law (including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Seller, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right). If any amount shall be paid to each Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Obligations of Seller, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other property and funds of each Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to Purchaser in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to such Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor shall not institute, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to institute, any proceedings asserting, and shall not in any case assert, that this Article X is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 10.4 Representations and Warranties. Guarantors represent and warrant that: (a) Guarantor 1 is an exempted company organized under the Laws of the Cayman Islands that is validly existing and in good standing; (b) Guarantor 2 is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Brazil; (c) each Guarantor has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate and other action necessary to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (d) the execution, delivery and performance by each Guarantor of this Agreement, the consummation by each Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate or other action; (e) each Guarantor has all requisite

corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to assuming that this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles; (f) each Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty; each Guarantor is not insolvent or bankrupt under any applicable law; each Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and neither Guarantor has proposed or is liable pursuant to any arrangement (whether by court process or otherwise) under which such Person’s creditors (or any group of them) would receive less than the amounts due to them; there are no proceedings in relation to any compromise or arrangement with creditors or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings concerning each Guarantor, and no events have occurred which would reasonably justify such proceedings; and no steps have been taken to enforce any security over any assets of each Guarantor and no event has occurred to give the right to enforce such security; (g) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not (A) result in any breach or violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, require consent under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation or the loss of any benefit under any material loan, guarantee of indebtedness or credit agreement, note, bequest, trust, bond, mortgage, indenture, pledge, lease, agreement, contract, permit, franchise, right or license binding on Guarantor or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of Guarantor’s material properties, assets or rights, or (B) conflict with or result in any violation of any material Law, regulation, rule, decree, order or, judgment binding on each Guarantor or any of his properties, assets or rights; and (h) except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement, all material consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any Person or Governmental Authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Guarantor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with by each Guarantor in all material respects, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by each Guarantor.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement

or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach (other than as set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement), and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, each Contracting Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

Other than (a) Section 5.7 which is intended to benefit the Indemnified Persons and (b) Article IX, which is intended to benefit the Purchaser Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees, no other Person not party to this Agreement shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that (x) Purchaser may assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder for the purpose of securing any financing of the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) Seller may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without prior written consent; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve Seller or Guarantors of any of their obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.6 shall be void.

Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in

accordance with Section 11.2 without notice or liability to any other Person.

Section 11.9 Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LEGAL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF. THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENT TO AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.3, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

Section 11.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction or any portion thereof had never been contained herein. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this

Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.11 Specific Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that an award of money damages would be inadequate in such event. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or Orders for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any Order sought by Seller to cause Purchaser to perform its agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach. Each party further agrees that no other party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 11.11, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE ITS SUBSIDIARY AND AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.13 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and have participated jointly in the drafting of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 11.14 Interpretation. Matters reflected in the Seller Disclosure Letter are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Seller Disclosure Letter. To the extent any such additional matters are included, they are included for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. In no event shall any disclosure of additional matters be deemed or interpreted to broaden or otherwise amend any of the covenants or representations or warranties in this Agreement. Headings and subheadings have been inserted in the Seller Disclosure Letter for convenience of reference only and shall to no extent have the effect of amending or changing the express description thereof as set forth in this Agreement. Disclosure of any fact or item in this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Letter referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure would apply to such other Sections.

amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party hereto shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Seller Disclosure Letter, Annexes or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any section of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Annexes or Exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

Universal Truckload Services, Inc. to acquire Westport Axle Corporation

Warren, MI – December 2, 2013 — Universal Truckload Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: UACL) announced today that it will acquire the sole shareholder of Westport Axle Corporation (“Westport”) from an international industrial group headed in Brazil by SM Brasil Participações S/A. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Westport provides value-added warehousing and component distribution services to U.S. manufacturers of Class 4-8 trucks, RVs and super-duty trucks. Westport also machines and distributes steering knuckles and axle components for the automotive industry. For the year-ended December 31, 2012, Westport had operating revenues of $58.4 million, and $66.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The cash purchase price is $123.0 million and is subject to a post-closing adjustment. To finance the acquisition, Universal anticipates increasing its senior credit facility to $300.0 million. Universal expects to receive regulatory approval for the transaction and close in late December 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

“We are very excited about the opportunities this new partnership brings to Universal,” commented Scott Wolfe, Chief Executive Officer. “The acquisition of Westport strategically enhances our customer base by further penetrating industrial markets, specifically to manufacturers of medium and heavy-duty trucks. We believe that Westport’s value-added services and limited capital requirements fit nicely into Universal’s business model and long-term growth strategy. We look forward to working with Westport’s proven management team to enhance their already-strong customer relationships as we further expand Universal’s value to our customers.”
