SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 917296204 | Page 6 of 19 Pages |
Preliminary Note. Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this amendment to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 3") amends the Schedule 13D filed on December 30, 2016 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended on June 2, 2017 ("Amendment No. 1") and November 22, 2017 ("Amendment No. 2"). The Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No.1, Amendment No. 2 and this Amendment No. 3 are collectively referred to herein as the "Schedule 13D". Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings given to them in the Original Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2). The Original Schedule 13D (as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2) remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 3.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2(b)(i) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The address of the Trust is:
c/o Norton Rose Fulbright (US) LLP
1301 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York 10019
Attention: Frank S. Vellucci
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:
As of October 26, 2018, 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 $6.4 million.
On October 24, 2018, Piton and Brian Tepfer, Chief Executive Officer of We Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Company) and a director and Executive Vice President of the Company, signed an amendment (the "Amendment") to their 2016 Purchase Agreement (defined in Item 6) to reduce the exercise price of the options granted by Brian Tepfer to Piton (the "Brian Tepfer Options") under their 2016 Purchase Agreement from $1.00 per share to $0.20 per share from October 24, 2018 until 11:59 PM on December 16, 2018. On October 24, 2018, Piton exercised the Brian Tepfer Options in full by delivering written notice to Brian Tepfer pursuant to their 2016 Purchase Agreement and will therefore acquire 500,000 Shares from Brian Tepfer for $100,000 on October 31, 2018 (such transaction, the "2018 Option Exercise"). A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit K and incorporated herein by reference.
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 (the "Warrants"). The issuance of the Warrants
SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 917296204 | Page 7 of 13 Pages |
was reported in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 15, 2014 (File No. 000-50494), with the form of the Warrants attached thereto as Exhibit 4.1. Additionally, Piton has the right to acquire 500,000 Shares under options it acquired on December 20, 2016 from Scott Tepfer, President of We Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Company) and an Executive Vice President of the Company, pursuant to their 2016 Purchase Agreement (the "Scott Tepfer Options"). The Scott Tepfer Options grant Piton the right to acquire up to 500,000 Shares from Scott Tepfer for $1.00 per share. The Scott Tepfer 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 (including the $100,000 exercise price for the 2018 Option Exercise, which will be obtained through margin borrowing). The 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.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares because they believe the Shares are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity.
Robert Averick and other representatives and advisers of Kokino, which provides investment management services to the Reporting Persons, continue to engage in ongoing discussions with management of the Company, other shareholders of the Company and other persons concerning the Company's finances, capitalization, strategy, business (including potential commercial opportunities) and operations. Mr. Averick and other representatives and advisers of Kokino intend to continue to engage in such discussions with the Company (including its officers and directors), other shareholders of the Company and other relevant parties concerning such matters. Mr. Averick works closely with the Company to provide his perspective on any matter that the Company and its representatives present to him or bring to his attention as a large shareholder of the Company. Kokino has executed a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Company to facilitate this work.
Mr. Averick frequently speaks with the Company about its capital needs and sources and intends to continue such discussions. Based on such discussions, the Reporting Persons may take a number of actions to maximize the value of their investment, including increasing the size of their investment in the Company. From time to time, Mr. Averick also intends to provide his perspectives to the Company and other relevant parties on matters that may result in the
SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 917296204 | Page 8 of 19 Pages |
Reporting Persons reducing or exiting their respective investments in the Company, including through a sale of all or part of the Company. Ultimately, a Reporting Person's decision to increase or decrease the size of its investment in the Company will depend upon numerous factors deemed important by Mr. Averick, including, among other things, the price and availability of securities of the Company; subsequent developments affecting the Company; the Company's business and prospects; general stock market and economic conditions; tax considerations; ongoing evaluation of the Company's business, financial condition, operations, prospects and strategic alternatives; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; the attitudes and actions of the Board of Directors and management of the Company; and other factors deemed relevant by Mr. Averick.
Mr. Averick and Kokino's other representatives and advisers may, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, consider, formulate, discuss and seek to cause the Company to implement other plans or proposals intended to enhance shareholder value, including plans or proposals that may involve changes to board structure and composition, capital allocation, portfolio diversification and strategic transactions (including joint ventures). Any such actions or transactions may be taken, advocated by, or involve Mr. Averick acting on behalf of the Reporting Persons alone or in conjunction with other shareholders, financing sources and/or other third parties, and could include proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to exercise any and all of their respective rights as shareholders of the Company in a manner consistent with their equity interests, including, without limitation, those matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, namely: (i) the acquisition by any person of any additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity security of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
The foregoing list of intentions, plans, strategies, negotiations, discussions, activities and potential transactions under consideration is subject to termination, evolution, modification or change at any time, without notice, and there can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above.

The 2018 Option Exercise and the other matters contemplated thereby as described in this Amendment No. 3 are hereby incorporated by reference to the extent that they constitute plans or proposals of any of the Reporting Persons with respect to the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, a material change of the capitalization or as otherwise required to be described in Item 4.

The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by the Trust include 275,000 Shares issuable under the Warrants, which are immediately exercisable, but does not include any Shares beneficially owned by Piton.
3 M3C is a member of Piton, along with other Family Clients of Kokino. The Shares and percent of class beneficially owned by M3C include 150,000 Shares issuable under the Warrants, which are immediately exercisable, but does not include any Shares beneficially owned by Piton.

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 the Warrants, which are immediately exercisable by the Trust and (ii) 150,000 Shares issuable under Warrants, which 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.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
On December 20, 2016, Brian Tepfer, Chief Executive Officer of We Sell Cellular LLC (which is a subsidiary of the Company) and a director and Executive Vice President of the Company, and Scott Tepfer, President of We Sell Cellular LLC and an Executive Vice President of the Company (Brian Tepfer and Scott Tepfer are collectively referred to in this Schedule 13D as the "Tepfer Sellers"), each sold 500,000 Shares at $1.00 per share to Piton (the "2016 Tepfer Purchased Shares"), along with the Brian Tepfer Options and the Scott Tepfer Options (each as defined in Item 3). Each Tepfer Seller sold the 2016 Tepfer Purchased Shares and issued such options to Piton in simultaneous private transactions pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase and Option Agreement dated December 20, 2016 by and between Piton and each Tepfer Seller (each, a "2016 Purchase Agreement" and collectively the "2016 Purchase Agreements"). The Brian Tepfer Options and Scott Tepfer Options expire on December 20, 2021 and may be exercised by Piton immediately in one or more transactions.
As discussed in Item 3 (which discussion is incorporated herein by reference), on October 24, 2018, Piton and Brian Tepfer signed the Amendment to reduce the exercise price of the Brian Tepfer Options from $1.00 per share to $0.20 per share from October 24, 2018 until 11:59 PM on December 16, 2018. On October 24, 2018, Piton exercised the Brian Tepfer Options in full by providing written notice to Brian Tepfer.
On June 2, 2017, Scott Tepfer sold 679,418 Shares at $1.00 per share to Piton and Brian Tepfer sold 679,419 Shares to Piton at $1.00 per share (collectively, the "June 2017 Tepfer Purchased Shares"). Each Tepfer Seller sold the June 2017 Tepfer Purchased Shares to Piton in private transactions pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement by and between Piton and

each Tepfer Seller (each, a "June 2017 Purchase Agreement" and collectively the "June 2017 Purchase Agreements").
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 of this private placement (the "November 2017 Transaction") was reported in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 22, 2017 (File No. 000-50494).
References to, and descriptions of, each 2016 Purchase Agreement, each June 2017 Purchase Agreement, the November 2017 Purchase Agreement and the Amendment as set forth in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit C, Exhibit D, Exhibit F, Exhibit G, Exhibit H and Exhibit K, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
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 "2017 USEL 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 2017 USEL Purchased Shares. The Company also agreed, subject to certain conditions and exclusions, to include the resale of the 2017 USEL 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.
As disclosed in Item 3, the Trust and M3C currently hold Warrants to acquire additional Shares which are immediately exercisable. The issuance of the Warrants was reported in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 15, 2014 (File No. 000-50494), with the form of the Warrants attached thereto as Exhibit 4.1.
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 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.

Additionally, if at any time after the Agreement Date the Company distributes cash, securities, evidence of indebtedness or other assets or property (including, for example, a cash dividend) and such distribution is not contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 2(d), then the Option Price shall be automatically reduced by the fair market value of the cash, securities, evidence of indebtedness or other assets or property applicable to one share of the Shares to the extent such distribution is (or will be) received by Seller.
