Item 2. Identity and Background.
Items 2(a), (d) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
(a) | This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of (i) Leslie J. Schreyer, as Trustee under Trust Agreement dated December 23, 1989 FBO the issue of Jonathan D. Sackler (the "Trust"); (ii) M3C Holdings LLC ("M3C"); (iii) Mr. Robert Averick; and (iv) Piton Capital Partners LLC ("Piton") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons", and each, a "Reporting Person"). |
Voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") held by the Trust, M3C and Piton is exercised by their investment manager, Kokino LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Kokino" and, together with the Reporting Persons, the "Kokino Investors"). The actual trading, voting, investment strategy and decision-making processes with respect to the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D (including voting and dispositive power) are directed by Mr. Averick, who is an employee of Kokino and the portfolio manager of the Trust's, M3C's and Piton's respective investments in the Shares.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 917296204 | Page 7 of 13 Pages |
Pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 16, 2017 among the Company, Piton, Mr. Averick and other purchasers (the "November 2017 Purchase Agreement"), Piton acquired 2,000,000 Shares at $0.50 per share from the Company and Mr. Averick acquired 200,000 Shares at $0.50 per share from the Company at the initial closing on November 16, 2017, (the "Initial Closing"). The initial closing of this private placement (the "November 2017 Transaction") is reported in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 22, 2017 (File No. 000-50494).
As of November 22, 2017, the Reporting Persons had collectively purchased an aggregate of 6,957,837 Shares (which includes Shares that can be purchased pursuant to certain warrants and options, as described below) over the course of various transactions for consideration totaling approximately $6.3 million.
The Trust has the right to acquire 275,000 Shares under previously issued warrants that are immediately exercisable, and M3C has the right to acquire 150,000 Shares under previously issued warrants that are immediately exercisable. Additionally, Piton has the right to acquire 1,000,000 Shares under options (the "Options") it acquired on December 20, 2016 from each of Brian Tepfer, Chief Executive Officer of We Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Company) and a director of the Company, and Scott Tepfer, President of We Sell Cellular LLC (each, a "Tepfer Seller"). Each Option grants Piton the right to acquire up to 500,000 Shares from the applicable Tepfer Seller for $1.00 per share. The Options expire on December 20, 2021 and may be exercised by Piton immediately in one or more transactions.
Certain Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Trust, M3C and Piton may be held from time to time in margin accounts established with such Reporting Persons' prime broker(s). Therefore, a portion of the purchase price for the Shares may have been obtained through margin borrowing. Such Shares are held by the applicable Reporting Person in one or more commingled margin account(s), which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Person from time to time subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers' credit policies. Certain positions held in the margin account are then pledged as collateral for the repayment of debit balances in the account. Each Reporting Person used cash on hand to fund the portion of the purchase price for the Shares that were not obtained through margin borrowing, and Piton and Mr. Averick used their available cash on hand to purchase Shares in the November 2017 Transaction.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of this following paragraph at the end of Item 4.
The Reporting Persons' acquisition of Shares pursuant to the November 2017 Purchase Agreement and the other matters contemplated thereby as described in this Amendment No. 2 are hereby incorporated by reference to the extent that they constitute plans or proposals of the Reporting Persons with respect to the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, a material change of the capitalization or is otherwise required to be described in Item 4.

4 Mr. Averick's principal occupation is acting as a Portfolio Manager at Kokino, which is a single-family office that provides investment management services only to its Family Clients, including the Trust, M3C and Piton. As a Portfolio Manager at Kokino, Mr. Averick shares the power to vote and dispose (or direct the disposition of) 6,957,837 Shares, which is the sum of 200,000 Shares Mr. Averick purchased in the November 2017 Transaction and the following Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick and other Reporting Persons: (i) 825,000 Shares beneficially owned by the Trust; (ii) 450,000 Shares beneficially owned by M3C; (iii) 5,358,837 Shares beneficially owned by Piton; and (iv) 124,000 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick with his wife. With respect to the 124,000 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Averick with his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Averick are deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares. Mr. Averick holds an economic interest in Piton (which interest may be held directly and, from time to time, indirectly through PCM). Also, Mr. Averick's incentive compensation as an employee of Kokino, which is calculated in Kokino's discretion, may be based, among other things, on the performance of Shares held by the Trust, M3C and Piton. Such compensation may be paid in cash and/or by way of increasing Mr. Averick's minority interest in Piton (either directly or indirectly through PCM). The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by Mr. Averick include (i) 275,000 Shares issuable under warrants that are immediately exercisable by the Trust and (ii) 150,000 Shares issuable under warrants that are immediately exercisable by M3C.
5 Piton is a pooled investment vehicle formed for the benefit of a single family and certain "key employees" (as defined in the Family Office Rule) of Kokino. The Trust, M3C and Mr. Averick are members of Piton, along with other Family Clients of Kokino. Piton is managed by its managing member, PCM. PCM is in turn managed by its managing member, Kokino. Additionally, Kokino is the trading manager of Piton and provides investment management services to the Trust and M3C, and in those capacities Kokino acts on behalf of such Reporting Persons as an agent. Robert Averick, in his capacity as an employee of Kokino, manages the Trust's, M3C's and Piton's respective investments in Shares. PCM and Kokino are each a "family office" (as defined in the Family Office Rule) of the same family, and any voting power or investment power PCM or Kokino may hold over the Shares is ultimately attributed to the Reporting Persons reporting on this Schedule 13D. The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by Piton includes 1,000,000 Shares beneficially owned by Piton under the Options.
SCHEDULE 13D

As an inducement to Piton to enter into each 2016 Purchase Agreement, the Company granted "demand" and "piggy back" registration rights to Piton and the other Reporting Persons for as long as they qualify as clients of Kokino (the "Kokino Clients") pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 20, 2016 (the "December 2016 Registration Rights Agreement"). If the demand registration rights are exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the December 2016 Registration Rights Agreement, the Kokino Clients who participate in the registration will severally, not jointly, reimburse the Company for the Kokino Clients' pro rata portion of certain expenses incurred in connection with the demand registration based on the number of Shares held by the Kokino Clients that are included in the registration statement. The Kokino Clients may only exercise their demand registration rights from time to time when the Company is obligated to file its Form 10-K or a Form 10-Q. References to, and descriptions of, the December 2016 Registration Rights Agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the December 2016 Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit E and incorporated by reference herein.
As an inducement to Piton and Mr. Averick to enter into the November 2017 Purchase Agreement, the Company, Piton, Mr. Averick and the other purchasers purchasing shares in the November 2017 Transaction (such shares, the "Purchased Shares") entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "November 2017 Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on Form S-1 by November 30, 2017 to register the resale of the Purchased Shares. The Company also agreed, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, to include the resale of the Purchased Shares in any registration statement that the Issuer files under the Securities Act. References to, and descriptions of, the November 2017 Registration Rights Agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the November 2017 Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit I and incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the November 2017 Transaction, the Company requested Piton to execute a letter (the "Deferral Letter") which immediately defers its "demand" and "piggy back" registration rights under the December 2016 Registration Rights Agreement. This deferral will terminate six months after the earlier of (i) the date the Form S-1 being filed in connection with the November 2017 Transaction is declared effective and (ii) the date the Form S-1 is required to be declared effective under the November 2017 Registration Rights Agreement (the "Deferral Period"). However, if the Company does not file the Form S-1 by January 5, 2018 or if the Company does not consummate the Initial Closing by the latest permissible date under the November 2017 Purchase Agreement, this deferral shall terminate. Additionally, the Company agreed to not file any registration statements (other than a Form S-8) unrelated to the November 2017 Transaction during the Deferral Period. References to, and descriptions of, the Deferral Letter as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Deferral Letter, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit J and incorporated by reference herein.
From time to time, the Trust, M3C and Piton may hold a portion of their assets, which may include some of the Issuer's securities, in prime brokerage accounts at one or more institutions, which accounts may provide the Trust, M3C and Piton with access to margin or other financing. The customer and related agreements governing such accounts generally provide the broker counterparty with security, collateral or similar rights of possession, sale or offset with
SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 917296204 | Page 12 of 13 Pages |
respect to such account assets in the event of a customer default. Such agreements generally also provide the counterparty with rights to lend assets held in such account, in some cases without advance or other notification to the customer. To the extent the Issuer's securities owned by the Trust, M3C or Piton are held from time to time in such prime broker accounts, they may be subject to such counterparty rights.
Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
