On October 14, 2013, USRG Holdco V, LLC (“Holdco V”) exercised a shareholder option to convert fifty percent (50%) of its Series B Preferred Stock of the Issuer into Common Stock, resulting in the conversion of 377,760 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by Holdco V into 755,520 shares of Common Stock owned by Holdco V. Previously, on September 23, 2013, the Issuer exercised an Issuer option to convert fifty percent (50%) of its outstanding preferred shares, resulting in the conversion of 377,759 shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by Holdco V into 755,518 shares of Common Stock owned by Holdco V.

ITEM 6.            CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
